SPREADING GOSPEL
Of BETTER FARMING

Valley City, N. d., June 4.-That
the Valley City Chautauqua Assembly
believes in spreading the gospel of
Better Farming as well in the do
nestle departments as on the farm
proper, is evidenced by the prepare.
lions being made for the entertain.
ment and instruction Of the hundred
and thirty Barnes county girls who
will camp at the park during the as.
sembly. g.
Speaking today of the elaborate
plans being made for the entertain.
ment of the girls, Alex karr, secretary
declared that no farm boy Is entitled
to a whit more consideration or in
struction from the assembly than the
future housewives, and mistrcsses Of
the farm, the girls.
Together with Nellie J. Nelson, the
county superintendent of schools, and
Nellie Farnsworth, head OF the lomes-
tic science department OF the state
normal school, we have worked out a
series of instructive and entertaining
lessons for the most ambitious of the
girls of the country: lesson which, II
taken advantage of, will be OF untold
benefit.
1t was II idea from the first" said
Mr.. Karr, ITO secure the attendance
OF a large number of girls from every
section of the county, who would ap.
preciate an opportunity to make their
home life happier, through a more
thorough understanding Of the posi-.
bilities for self culture on the farm.
Glasses in nature study will be
formed and given practical instruction
by Miss Carolyn Wood, who has made
a special study in this field; a series
of lessons in games for children and
young people will be given by Miss
BroOmall, one of the most efficient in
structors in this line in the country;
and practical talks and demUlstra-
tons on the preservation and promo
ton Of physical health will be given
by Miss Erdmann of the state univers-
ity, and Miss Julia Lathroy Of Wash
ington, d. C.
1.-The lessons looking to the happi-
ness and cOntentment of the inner
man or woman will plan a large part
in the program. On various days dur
ing the second week, instruction will
be given in preparing soups, eggs,
desserts, vegetables, salads, bread,
meats, cakes and frostings, and few
girls will return. to their homes with
out a clearer idea of how to set a table
and prepare an appetizlng meal"
Mr.. Karr is also enthusiastic over
the instruction in dairying, care of
utensils, s%eparators, preparing butter
ana other dairying products, and many
other features which, he believes, ill
create a greatly added interest among
the girls in their home life.
That there may be no lack of enter
tainment features, the afternoon will
be given up b. the girls to the musical
numbers on the program, bathing.
boating and fishing, and the evenings
to listening to the series of splendid
programs which has been prepared.
Owing to the large number of appli.
cations for admittancei to the Girls
school which have been received, a
competitive arrangement has been
made, and each school district, one
hundred and thirty in all, will send a
representative.
The girls will camp in a section of
the grounds set apart for them, tents
being provided by the association, to
gether with a cot for each girl. A
large mess tent, to be used also as an
instruction hall will be set up, so ,ha'
during the morning hours the mem
bers Of the school will compose ;
small city of their own.
