women Plan work.
NORTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENTS
TO COOPERATE IN IMPRov.
ING RURAL LIFE.
PROBLEM OF THE YEAR.
Appeal Emphasized by Miss Minnie
Nelson in Her Speech OF
Acceptance Before
Convention. N

| Grand FOrks.-The development of
rural life in schools and homes is the
specific work proposed for the coming
year by the women of the North Da-
kota Federation clubs. This appeal
was embodied in the resolutions adopt
ed at the close of the annual conven-
ton in this city and was further en-
phasized by the new president, Miss
Minnie ]. Nelson, when she delivered
her speech of acceptance.
The plan of this work is co.opera-
ton with county superintendent of
schools in spreading knowledge of
school and household sanitation,
creating an interest in the organiza-
ton of rural clubs, and developing the
use of rural school buildings for So
cial and educational betterment and
the intermingling of rural and urban
classes
The same resolution pledges North
Dakota club women, in an indirect
way, to help stamp out the rural prac-
tice of buying from catalog houses,
and urges support of the pure food
movement in the state. This is to
be done by making known the dangers
from impure foods, such as are shipped
directly to consumers from eastern
firms. These are not under the juris-
diction of the North Dakota pure food
departments and the adjustment Of
the practice which has held sway
would raise the standard of public
health and help the state pure food
department.
This new work involves the CO.
operation of three of the federation
departments, the educational, extern
sion and public health. Mrs. R. A.
Sprague Of Grand Forks, chairman of
the health department, is presenting
the work to the county superintend-
ent of schools and means to have a
program outlined by the first of Janu-
airy, when the new superintendent goes
into office, which will embrace SAM
tation and school hygiene and the
Importance of individual drinking cups,
pure water, ventilation and the simple
rules of health.
The extension department, OF which
-hlo. waiter II. IteCu VI A1uGnla is
chairman, has taken steps to have a
leaffet printed which will contain in
formation of all branches of work
recommended by the federation and
offering special programs for the wom-
EN- Of rural communities. This COM
mittee will further endeavor to have
women's clubs where possible, go d.
rectly into rural communities and dem
onstrate the value of the programs.
The educational department, of
which Miss Matte M. Davis of Fargo
is chairman, will outline it's part of
the campaign soon and will work
| through county superintendent, school
directors and teachers. 1t plans to
have the teachers take the lead in So
cial center work, but will assist in
providing lecturers,

THRESHING NEARS END.
Work Around Grand Forks Will Soon
Be Finished.

DC TuIStS1s
Grand Forks.-Only about 12
per cent of the grain raised in
Grand Forks county this year remains
in shock, according to o. D. Center,
farm expert for the county. It will
require but day or so to complete
practically all shock threshing, and
then there remains a short run of
threshing from stacks.
In the southern part of the county
the tendency to stack grain has been
particularly noticeable. The farmers
there are far ahead of those in other
sections in the matter of fall plow-
ing. The stacked grain also is in fine
condition, the returns from several
farms where such grain has been
threshed showing it to be superior to
that threshed from the shocks.
Very little flax has been threshed
but that which has been pounded out
was in good shape. Flax properly
bound and shocked has not been in
jured by the rainy weather, but that
in which other grains or wild oats
or weeds were mixed has suffered be-
cause the weeds have retained the
moisture.
In the western part of the state
threshing is not so we'll advanced as
in this region In fact, there are from
two to three weeks threshing in al.
most the entire western section.
The delay caused by rain has not
had any effect upon elevators in the
state. 1t was thought the delay of a
day or two would give the railroads
an opportunity to get some of the
heavily filled elevators partially emp
tied and ready for new receipts OF
grain, but the cessation of threshing
over so short period had no effect
The calls for cars are becoming more
marked and incessant.

Fargo.-More than $225,OO0 per
day is pouring into the banks of Fargo
every day as result of the grain
drafts and it is a question whether
ever before there was so much money

the other banks made up quota that
exceeded $225,O0O and the returns to-
day were even greater.
This money comes from grain deal

In spite of the scarcity Of labor
