There Is an S. O. S. call sent broad- j cast from the Indiana Harbor Red Cross j centre for more knitters and many of j them. The quota for knitted socks Is i an Immense one and this means that the j onergiea of the women of the community be enlisted. It is anything but pleasant for women to handle the wooiy j yarns during the torrid heat of these i

days but equally unpleasant is the thought that our boys may be deprived of these necessary hose when the de

mand for shipment is to be mad The j women who cannot gh e their time to the centre may take the yarns home and j

Jcnlt and applications for same is all that Is necessary. There is always somebody at the Centre who will only too willingly give all information and instruction necessary. Women respond to this call and if you cannot knit now you can become an adept after a few lessons given you by the instructors. Prepare to give as much time as possible to the needs of the Red Cross sewing. Each quota arriving shows a great Increase over those perviously sent and It is up to the women to shoulder the burden of meeting these requirements.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. Aug. 8. How the famous One Hundred and Fiftieth Field Artillery. Indiana's old National Guard regiment, which went "over the pond' with the Rainbow division, served as shock troops in tho recent grpat offensive of the Maine, is graphically told in letters received today by a prominent state official. The letters came from a hlfh officer of the regiment and the latest one was written at the front July 15. The other was dated

'July 3.

As the officer watched over his various units at the front in a rain of shell from the German guns, after having been compelled to use his automobile as his post headquarters, because of the rapid movement of the regiment to the center of the ngrhtins line, he dictated these lines, which will bring a heart-throb of rrMe. to eery Hoosier: "I wish that you could hear what I am listening to now. When you read tbout this attack, remember that we fired one of the first guns and are still firing and I can't but believe that they wiil be held this Time." That concluded 'he typewritten letter. Then, in pm writing, was this, under d.te of July ! i "We still have him held and our line is r.ot even bent. He has been driven back eifrht times. Dead men and horses are everywhere. Our division has sixteen hundred casualties so far. Again my out.t is fortunate not over a dozen, besides some missinie. Enemy fighting behind their dead. The letter began:

balloons so that m e are now uno'er direct observation. "Indi;in.i is very fortunate in having Genera! Mclntire command a brigade of artillery as he is a very fine officer. I spent a month with him in 1911 at San Antone. He has spent quite a little time in the Austrian army before we declared war. "I have just had one of my guns blown up. which makes the second since we have been here. However, that is all part of the g?rae, but we always hate to have accidents of that character."

In the earlier letter the officers wrote, j anj a m0st patriotic service

in part: "We now have the proud distinction of being what soma people call "Shock Troops" and will fight hereafter wherever troops are needed most and will no longer hold sectors as we have been do'ng heretofore.

Indiana has about 100 companies of civilian soldiers known as Liberty

Guards. A r.ew ser ice has been assign- t ed to them. They are asked to instruct ! young men registered for the selective draft and awaiting call. Gen. Crowder j wants the men selected by the govern- : rnent to enter the service "willing, loyal. intelligent, clean and sober." Tne j boards of instruction have been asked ; to get acquainted with the registrants in class 1 and help them to understand

why we are at war. what we are fighting for and how they can best prepare themselves for efficient service. It Is believed that the Liberty Guard3 already in military training can be of a prreat help to the boards of instruction by taking hold of the prospective soldiers and giving them useful information and patriotic pep.

until they get results."

Plans, for any kind of construction work involving the use of men. money cr.d materials should be referred to the County Council of Defense before being presented to the tate Council of Iiefense. Better still, pigeon-hole the plans until after the war unless the proposed construction, whether it be a farm-house or a school-building or a drainage sewer or a public highway, will assist in a fairly definite way toward the winning of the war.

Regarding wheat: Grain buyers must not intentionally place a lower grade on wheat than that to which the farmer is entitled under the Federal standard. The grower must get the -rice to which he is honestly entitled.

We can make it a "Home-Coming" for many outside as well as those still living in Lake county. W'e expect to show a still more interesting collection of relics and oddities than before. Come, shake hande and visit with us for one day even though we have wrinkles and our hair is gray. We cannot forgojt our schoolmates, friends and old-time neighbors.
