STUDENT LOAN FUND FOR
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The Federated Women's Clubs of
Minot, in recent session, donated $500
toward the establishment of a student
loan fund. The federated women's
clubs of the third district have made
this fund their special enterprise for
this year. It is hoped and presumed
that the women's clubs of the North
west will increase this fund materially
during the next few years.
The following regulations explain
the plan of management:
Article I. This fund shall be known
as the student loan fund for the State
Normal school at Minot and shall be
devoted to the interests Of students
attending that institution.
Article II. The fund shall be ad-
ministered by a Board of Management
consisting Of the President of the
school and committee of the faculty
of the school.
Article III. Loans shall be only to
students who meet the following con-
ditions:
1. Attendance at school at least ~
weeks.
2. Scholarship good.
3. Character exemplary.
a. Wholly or partly dependent upon
his own resources.
5. Aid given to students only who
are within two years of graduation
from the present Advanced course of
the school. It extends two years be-
yond the high school.
Article V. Borrower shall execute
a regular promissory note, with 6 per
cont intoroct En60rsorc rocossarv
All interest. received shall accrue to
the increase of the fund.
Article vi. The maximum loan to
the student shall not exceed $4,000 a
year.
ARTICLE VII. Changes in the
rules of administering the fund shall
be made only by vote of entire faculty
membership.
This fund was established March 7,
1916. It is the hope of the founders
Of this fund that other donors and or
CARNATIONS will assist in adding to the
fund from time to time that its use
fulness may be increased. Believing
in the efficacy Of education, in the no
bility of the service Of teaching, and
in the wisdom Of helping worthy self
dependent young people, the Woman's
Club believe this fund to be splen-
did altruistic enterprise worthy the
attention and assistance of all right

[ NGL AND WILL ACCEPT ALL
 RECRUITS

LONDON, Feb. 16. - Instructions have been issued to the local recruit ing offices not to reject a prospective recruit simply because he is unfit for general military service. Men who are not up to the physical standard required in active campaigning will be accepted for home service, garri- son duty at home and abroad and clerical and other sedentary army oc- equations. Also reservation is made for men capable of helping to build roads and of working on defences. This new order has come into effect since the close of the original Derby enrolment scheme, and perhaps large number of rejected Derby men will now have to be re-eXamined.

COAL CLA|MAN TS BE REFUNDED
 MONEY

The Juneau land office today re- ceived copy of a decision of the com missioner of the general land office, in which he approves the application for repayment of the purchase price on 35 coal claims. being part of what is known as the Munday-Stacy group of coal claims, located in the Boring ricer coal fields. The amount of the purchase price to be refunded is prac- tically $5O,OOO. These claims were originally located by Stacy as agent for a number of coal land claimants, and what is known locally as the English Company"
 Charles F. Munday was the prime mover in the combine to locate the land. and together with Stacy and Shields, was indicted in Seattle for conspiracy against the government. Munday and Shields were acquitted of the charges in the spring Of 1914.
 Charges of fraud and failure to de- velop and open a coal mine on the claims were made against the claim ants in the Juneau land office, and by it's decision the officers of that office found the charges proved.
 The commissioner of the general land office has affirmed the decision of the Juneau officers. The applicants, through their attorneys, then filed re- linquishments for each of the claims with the secretary of the interior. and applications for the return of their purchase money. Upon this applica- ton the repayment of the money is now ordered.
