WOMEN WILL MAKE SHIRTS

MATERIAL FOR 100 SHIRTS HAS BEEN SENT BY GOVERNMENT FOR MAKING. Mrs. Ora T. Ross has secured from Hie United States government a consignment of material for one hundred army shirts. The government pays forty-three cents each for the making of these. Mrs. John Eger has consented to take charge of this work and all of the women who sew well are' asked to co-operate with her. The. different church societies are invited to make a portion of these. Already the ladies df the Catholic church are at work on a number. If you would rather work independently of any society you should take the matter up direct with Mrs. Eger. The money derived from this work will be turned over to the Red Cross and the Comforts Committee. It should be possible to make this hundred and possibly more.
