Another year is opening, and another year is gone; We have passed the darkness of the night; we are in the early morn; We have left the fields behind us o'er which we scattered seed; We pass into the future which none of us can read. The corn among the weeds, the stones, the surface mold May yield a partial harvest; we hope for sixty -fold. Then hasten fresh to labor, to thresh and reap and sow, Then bid the new year welcome, and let the old year go— Then gather all your vigor, press forward in the fight, And let this be your motto, "For God and for the right." meld R E T Knitting Instructions for Red Cross Socks (Beeouse of the change in uni- form for the, Army the Ordnance Department has notified the Red Dross that the new regulation sock •should be 16" long from top of cuff to under heel, 5" cuff and 13" leg,) T)o not attach socks together any place but at the top through the two inside thicknesses.
