alton of Women's cluos nave accepted

kota Federation OF Women's Clubs

oils, Mrs. Harry L. keefe and Mrs.

have promised to come. State FEEDER
atiCn officials expect the Minot meet

Friends of Ray Crandall, formerly
Of Mandan, will be interested in tae
following, taken from the German
American, Golden Valley: III. A.
,Crandall received his first direct let
ter from his son., Ray. He is at Bris-
tol, England, and still in a military
hospital, having received several
wounds in an engagement with the
Germans in France. He enclosed a
photo taken at the hospital and gives
a brief description of the battle and
states that his chum, Page, OF Glen
Ullin, was killed in the same battle
by a shrap1el shell. Ray himself was
dragged off the battlefield by his COM
rades during a shower Of sniping by
tie Germans" ~.
Farmers in this section are still
hopeful Of securing a partial corn
crop. The hot weather and south
winds prevailing this week have done
much toward developing the corn
and those farmers who have the more
advanced crop still have a chance to
at least secure enough seed for 1916
planting. The one, frost that visited
parts of this state last week WAS not
hard enough to injure n more ad-
vanced corn, though the later corn,
that which is not over knee high, was
somewhat frosted in some localities.
Investigations by the agricultural de-
partment of the Agricultural college
at Fargo shows that in the southwest
ern part of the state and along the
upper Red River valley in Minnesota
the earlier corn was unnamed.
North Dakota friends of Mable Hol-
land, who for two years has been
practicing medicine at Binghampton,
N. Y, will be pleased to learn OF a
high tribute just recently paid to ner
professional standing. DR.. Holland
has been offered the appointment as
physician to the students Of Vassar
college, the celebrated college for
women at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The
appointment also carries with it the
supervision of the physiological LABOR
atories of the college. The position
offered DR.. Holland is an important
one and the tribute tc her standing
in her profession lies in the fact that:
it mas always been held by physicians
of much longer practice than DR.. Hoi-
land can boast. She is as yet unde.
cided about accepting, as the position
would keep her tied down at the
school for nine months Of the, year.
She is inclined TO believe that her
present practice will prove more
pleasant and as remunerative as the
college position. ~
