ed their preparations for the annual

the guess of honor Mrs. Decker will
visit the North Dakota federation on
her way to Minneapolis and will not
arrive until Thursday, Oct. 10.
A president, recording secretary,
treasurer and the vice presidents are
allSto be elected, but the election does
not promise any excitement as Mrs. j.
woman whose name has been mentioned
for the office of president. Indeed, from
what one hears Mrs. Washburn 8 cleo;
ton will be practically unanimous. She
is well known. in club and D. A. R.
circles and there is general feeling

ing officer. Mrs. Frank A. Allen OF
