THE GREATEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD—THE RED CROSS

“Stretching forth her hands to all in need; to Jew or gentile, black or white; knowing no favorite, yet favoring all.” Ready and eager to comfort at a time when comfort is most needed. Helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand by showing mercy in a healthy, human way; rebuilding it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and hearths too long neglected. Seeing all things with a mother’s sixth sense that is blind to jealousy and meanness; seing men in their true light, as naughty children, snatching, biting, bitter, but with a hidden side that’s quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out her hands across the sea to No Man’s Land; to cheer with wanner comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and water-soaked entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, so they write, than. Boche steel or lead. She’s warming thousands, feeding thousand*, healing thousands . from her stove; the Greatest Mother in the World—The Red Cross. Jasper county is holding her own in this war work as in all other war aids. The men as well as the women are deeply interested in our county work and this co-operation is bringing about most satisfatory results. The output from Jasper county chapter, for the month of April, 1918, is as follows: Hospital Garments and Supplies. Pajamas 10, hospital shirts 45, hand towels 194, table napkins 6, property bags 34. • » > Knitting. Sweaters 3, pairs of spcks 207, wristlets 2, helmets 1. Miscellaneous. Slumber robes 7, infant layette 1, Junior R. C., infant layette 1, Sew dub, baby quilts 28, Junior R. C. A total of 539 garments. Total number of surgical dressings 3,020. Fran the time our chapter was organized, one year ago until the present time, the output of our dif- | ferent shops has been left to our ability and desire, but now a certain quota has been apportioned us in the gauze surgical dreminga, that of 3,100 pieces per month. Of this, 2,000 is to be the 9x9 compresses. A good average for these compresses is five per hour. Consider the time it takes to fill this quota; the careful hand-work it

means; not in Jasper county alone, but all over the United States; does it not seem that for many of us it will mean a more conscientious planning, giving a little more of our time to regularly meet this need? The best dressed woman in the world today is she who wear the Red Cross uniform whether on the field of battle in France, or in the most retired work ship in America, patiently, cheerfuly giving here help to this great cause. Remington has a well equipped room in the library and the Standard dressings. From this shop will fully equal all other work sent out by this branch. The work all over the county is well established. Wheatfield, DeMotte, Tefft are all making splendid shipments weekly, maintaining a high grade of excellence. We have yarn for sweaters now. Sock yarn is ordered and expected very soon. We are asked to send socks and more socks, in fact, each department, whether that of the surgical dressings, knitting of hospital garments, it is to continue a full, steady flow of articles.
