Now the in fluenza scare is on and so many of the meeting and working places arc closed, there is a splendid opportu nity to catch up on this very neces sary branch of the work. Of the quota of 21,600 pairs of socks that must be completed November 1, only 12.279 pairs have been turned in. This means that some soldier boys will have to wear worn, ragged socks during the first spell of cold weather, and they may suf fer frost-bitten toes and heels. The nrachine knitting department lias been closed down on account of the "flu" and there is more need for the hand work than ever. A few women are keeping loyally on with their work, in spite of the fact that knitting socks has lost the interest of novelty, but many have fallen by the wayside. Now is the time to show what the Omaha woman is really made of. Is she a real work er for the cause, or does she merely work when interested? Socks may be delivered and wool taken out as usual at the knitting department in the Recline building. Postponements Special postponement announce ments on account of the Spanish in fluenza are made by the following organizations: Frances Willard Women's Christian Temperance un ion, district convention of George A. Custer Women's Relief corps, in struction classes and meeting of the central 'conservation council. Fidelis club announces that the card party planned for Tuesday aft ernoon at the school auditorium at St. Celilia's cathedral will be post poned. The North Side Mothers' club has also called off its meeting. Kountze Memorial Church Red Cross auxiliary will not meet Thursday. ? LIBERTY LOAN. '. ?

(PeKKy is urged by Blue Jay to visit Bandit's ltoost to aee proof that the .Iftys have earned the rlKht to return to Bird iRnil. She learns that a bank lias been robbed of Liberty Loan money, and lilue Jiv thinks re knows where the robber Is.) FLOATING along in a thistle down balloon, so Peggy found, produced a different sensation from flying in an airplane or being carried by a bird. There was no breeze, for she was' borne by the wind itself. This created the feeling that she was standing still. Only when she looked down at the trees and fences racing by far below did she realize that she was really mov ing at train speed. The balloon jumped about a lot, just like a bit of fluff from a milk weed pod. At one moment it would be just above the tree-tops, and the next instant a current of air would shoot it up towards the sky. Once she drifted over a country church steeple which threatened to catcii and hold her, but a vigorous shove of her toe on the very tip of the spire sent her bounding upward. Al together, Peggy found this a very delightful way to travel. Soon they sailed over Birdland, but it was so very early in the morn ing that the Birds were not yet stir ring. Pcgty thought what fun' it would be to wake 'em all up by dropping a fire-cracker among them, like an aviator drops a bomb. But then she reflected that the fire cracker migh land right in a nest and blow baby birds all to pieces. So, after all, she was glad she didn't have one. Far up the river was the lonesome hill which the Birds called Bandit's Roost. Here stood the hollow tree in which Blue Jay and his gang hid their refuge when danger threat ened. The balloon skimmed along high above the hill and Peggy wondered how she was going to get down. She didn't have a parachute and there seemed no way to stop her queer airship. But the Jays knew how to manage it. They caught hold of the thistle down in their claws and pulled with all their might. Slowly they dragged the balloon to earth; anchoring be neath a spreading tree. Peggy swung her trapeze until she could reach a wild grapevine and down she slid in safety. "Come, see our orchards," screamed Blue Jay, leading the way to a burned over slope. Peggy won dred what he could mean, but fol lowed eagerly among the blackened stumps. "There, isn't that a fine job," he cried, pointing to rows of small gcen sprouts arranged in an orderly way amid the ruins of the fire-wrecked forest. "What are they?" asked Teggy. "Cherry trees," declared Blue Jay proudly, while the other Jays giggled at Peggy's look of surprise. "See how vigorous they are. In a couple of summers they'll be husky "lt surely if," agreed Peggy. "I'll clear, them away for you.' Mie went vigorously at the rocks, and soon opened a hole through them. Reaching in to get a grip on a particularly large stone, her fin gers touched a piece of cloth. In side the cloth was something hard. Wondering what it could !e she drew it out. It was a small bag, heavilv loaded. As she lifted it from the hole, several gold piecei fell irom a hole in the side. "There's the bandit's money cried Blue Jay. "Pd forgotten alt about it." (In the next charter Tefrr pUni M recover the stolen money.) Miss Lillian Marcus of Kansas City is the guest of her sister, Mn. Nathan Simon, and Mr. Simon. "THERE'S THE BANDIT'S MONEY," CRIED BLUE JAY. young trees. We Jays planted every one of them." "How splendid," exclaimed Peggy. "Where did you get the seed?" "Cherry pits that women's can ning army threw over," exulted Blue Jay. "We worked hard for weeks bringing them here and planting them." "Why did you do it?" asked Peggy wonderingly. "We wanted to show you and the Birds that Jays can be useful citi zens when they want to be. I guess now you'll admit that we can be croi) producers as well as destroy ers." "I surely will," agreed Peggy. "I guess you've earned the right to be taken back into Birdland." All the Jays gave a happy chuckle and hopped about in a queer little dance of joy. "And that isn't all we ve done,' continued Blue Jay, leading her to a part of the hill too rugged to be used as an orchard. "Look at these nut trees we've planted, hickory, walnut and beech." "Wonderful!" cried Peggy. "And we've gathered a big store of beech and hazel nuts, too. You can give them to humans for food. They are in our hollow tree." Off the Jays flew, so fast that Peggy had difficulty following them. When Peggy reached the hollow tree, she found the Birds in a coun cil ot indignation. "See what's happened!" screamed Blue Jay. "Some one has piled up rock? so that we can't get at our storehouse. I call that mean."
