Varied Activities of Women

In the district meeting of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs at Red
Lodge, as we'll as the meeting of the
sixth district at Billings, the great in
terest exhibited showed that the dis
trict meeting had come to stay. Over
40 delegates were present at the Red
Lodge meeting and nearly that num-
Der at Billings, and the attendance of
many Of the principal state officers
added to the Importance Of the oc-
casion.
The idea of having a joint meeting
at Billings was quite successfully a r
ried out and many delegates, includ-
ing several from the hostess club,
joined the Billings meeting and were
invited to participate in the program.
Splendid entertainment was provided
in each city to its guests, and the
chambers of commerce assisted the
ladies in extending various courtesies.
Mrs. Seidlitz of Bozeman presided
over the Red Lodge meeting, and Mrs.
Ward Nye of Billings over the Joint
meeting. Each of these ladies is the
president of her own district.
Many interesting papers we're read,
and probably the most important
question which was ever before the
women of Montana Mas at last
brought to a definite issue when il
was stated by the committee having
this problem in charge that a bill per.
tanning to the establishment of a
state vocational training farm for de.
%linquent girls would be brought before
the next state legislature. This is 3
question which the organized women
of the state have been working on 70,
years, and which is now ready TO HI
brought before the Montana law
makers.
Big Timber was selected as the mex
meeting place for district fonr, anc
the time will probably be set for Sep
TENDER. District six will decide or
is meeting place later.

MONTANA WOMEM DIM THE
NEWS OF THE WEEK
Work Of School Nurses
Is Proving Effective

dren who do not make their grade in
school are suffering from physical
defect or ailment. Adenoids and ton
silor trouble, defective eyesight and
hearing are found to be among the
chief contributing causes which tend
to make the repeater below par in
his school work. The discovery of
these Affections lead to interviews
with parents, medical inspection by
the family physician or by a physi-
clan provided by the district, and in
many an operation or proper
medical attention has restored the
child to health and a consequent re-
turn to normal in mental ability.
Often the existence of these defects
is perfectly known to the parent,
but they are dilatory in having steps
taken to remedy them. Usually in
such cases a talk with the school nurse
convinces them that thev should act
promptly in the matter.
Some Specific Gases.
Many specific cases are reported
by nurses which prove interesting as
indicating how far into the realm of
public health their services may ex-
tend. Upon making a visit to a home
to discover the reason for the alb
sence of a nine yaer old girl, the
child was found to be suffering from

Even in the few weeks since school
has been in session this year, the
school nurse; a comparatively new adj
dition to the teachinp force, has
found a permanent ,lace in the pub
Gil school system and parents all over
the state are inquiring into the bene-
fits which might be derived by plac-
ing a nurse in supervision of their
school children.
Had it not been for the epidemic of
infantile paralysis this fall, the pub
lie nurse would not have been so wide
ly known nor so widely esteemed as
she is now AS a matter of policy as
well as for the real protection afford
ed the children, many superintendent
and school boards hit upon the idea
of employing a nurse during the first
month of school in order to allay the
fears of anxious parents and thus
secure the regular attendance at
school during the trying period when
no one knew when or where the
dread disease would next make its
appearance.
But the nurse; temporary in nearly
all cases, proved so valuable that now
parents are insisting upon the per-
manent nurse. Also they are inquiring
into the scope of her duties and are
seeking the best way in which 70
utilize her services.
The Nurses Duties.
Speaking briefly, the following may
be listed as a school nurses specific
duties: Classroom inspection, building
inspection with reference to santa
ton, brief talks in the schoolroom on
the matter of personal hygiene, look
ing up absences, especially if illness
is suspected-by phone if possible,
by personal call if necessary; keeping
record of every ase under observa-
ton.
The school nurse should be a trained
and graduate nurse, a woman of
character, personality and tact. The
minimum salary paid in this state is
about 500 for in this case the nurse
has to provide herself with room and
board and a few are found who will
accept a position very much below the
regular wage schedule Of $25 pei
week which includes both.
All over the state, wherever they
are employed, school nurses are as.

generally unobtainable, showing

very resourceful and enthusiastic
man, is responsible for the Sunday
night church appeals for recruits, a
method that is spreading all over Can
ada.
So the work of recruiting for the
grim struggle goes on in Montana's
neighbor just across the border to the
north. And Alberta has certainly
done her share, although she is try
ing to do more. If the United States
was at war and Montana should CON
tribute 10000 men to the armies of
Uncle Sam, she would have accom-
plisEed as much in proportion to her
population as has Alberta. This will
give Montanans some idea of the won
derful sacrifice that. is being made by
western Canada for Great Britain, as
the story of Alberta's effort in this
regard is only just a little better than
the stories of the other western prov
inces.

y Montana Woman Recognized.
Mrs. Bea w. Graves, a former Mon
tana resident, has been appointed SUI
pervisor of the out-patient depart
ment of the Orthopedic hospital at
Seattle, Washington. Mrs. Graves
states that this is the only hospital of
that kind west of Nebraska, and con-
sequently children from all over the
western United States are being cared
for there. Many of these are brought
in order to correct the defects left by
the recent epidemic of infantile par
alysis. Many of these cases can be
helped, but not all. Club feet are also
among the common deformities of
some of the tiny patients which ar
rive for treatment. Mrs. Graves

To send east for to waken
Up the interest of the people,
Who might help make things hum,
In dear old southern Oregon
When the bluejay starts to run.

Where things have started anew,
The easterner has come to pull,
And the old-timer is pulling too,
There's a light ahead a-shining,
For another roundup sure to come,
In dear old southern Oregon,
When the bluejay starts to run.
In dear old southern Oregon,
There's room for young and old,
Those who get out and dust
And don't let the soil get cold
If those now here don't hustle,
Newcomers will have the fun,
In dear old southern Oregon
When the blueiay starts to run.
In dear old southern Oregon,
In nineteen seventeen,
New life is going to come
And rap the dead ones on the

And be here when there's mon

they would hail him as a great poet,
but out here we call him friend"
Mr.. Posey's poem was met with a
storm of applause and he was forced
to respond to an encore, replying
with brief little humorous poem of
his which literally brought the

"The Defunct Editor" follows:
Gentlemen, toast we offer to this
body, virile, true,
We bring the benediction of our
grateful hearts to you.
You sway the souls of mortals by the
dictates of your pen,
You lift the dropping spirit to the
planes of hope again.
You WELD the last of justice and
soothe our sorrows deep,
Rejoice with us who do rejoice and
weep with us who weep.
Our Oregon you'se shaping to a full
ness, rich and grand;
Our proud states hope reposes in the
hollow of your hand.
We toast your worthy president, the
soul of Enterprise,
By the magic of his pencil he moulds
mems destinies.
There's no spot on his escutcheon, no
stain its beauty mars,
AS he smiles across the tables of a
thousand dining cars.
And when cares of state oppress him
and tickle Fate does scoff,
He sadly strops his razor and shaves
his mustache off.
The whole world gasped and shud
dered as he claimed his honor'
due,
When he dived from off the Brook
lyn bridge and split the air il
two.
And your worthy vice, George Put
nam, roosting on a powder keg-
He must sit there "watchful wait
ing" until Villa breaks leg.
His pen is mightier than his SWORD
when he writes billet doux.
He does not miss one single thrus'
but stabs a heart clean through
We mourn his absence sadly, but W

SOUTH IS
STRONGFOR
POTATOES
Northern Grown Variety
Makes Real Hit, Says
Commissioner Flint

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 25.-Northern-
grown potatoes are in much demand
for Southern eating. according to word
received yesterday by r. F. Flint, COM
missioner of agriculture and labor,
from commission firm Of that Sec
ton.
The people of the South" said the
commissioner, referring to the commu-
nication, "and the East are anxious to
get North Dakota grown potatoes.
ITO them they are a luxury not
found in their own homegrown pro-
duct. This fact is beginning to become
known generally and the people there
are demanding the northern product
for the table, just as they have for
years demanded it for seed in the
South.
THE greatest difficulty in this state
is found in the number Of varie-
+ ties grown in the same community,
thus making 1t impossible for farmers
to club together and ship carload lots
Of uniform variety.
When standard potato is grown
in one community and care is used In
shipping there will be a still greater
demand for our product"
The commission firm also asked re-
garding shipment Of cabbages.
