aborately bedeck ed with flags and

We were lest in reverie, and mistook

were gowns Of white satin with Law

In the mems and ladies' inter city
golf tournament Friday afternoon at
the Fargo Country club links, both
teams from the up state city winning
by a one point margin.
Easily the feature of the days
play was Herb Nunn's remarkable
work against Sheldon, one OF Fargo's
star link men, whom he defeated
three up, and in the process, the
Grand Forks man established a nine
hole round record Of thirty-six
strokes.
Mr.. Num-, ss years of age, turned
the Is holes for a 76 count, and in
so doing ties the course record
previously made by L. G. Stranahan,
while his SO stands alone among the
amateur scores made on the course.
Mr.. Num-, to accomplish the 76
count, made a 36 and a 40, and only
the fact that he missed a putt of a
few inches robbed him of the glory
of a rs score for the Is holes. Mr..
Stranahan, when he made his 20,
turned the nine holes in 81 and 80.

The cold pack method Is peins
used as it is one or the best meth-
DDS that have been developed. II mas
been used with good success In
home canning and 1t is the method
largely used in commercial canning.
There is an unusual interest in cam
ing this year so that the demon
strators are kept busy.
A considerable part of the COM
mercially canned vegetables nave
already been contracted for by the
government for supplying the army
and navy. and more will likely be
needed. One way to make sure or
supply of canned vegetables Is TOT
each family to can some vegetables
There are nearly always some Vege-
tables going to waste. BY canning
them they can be made TO serve Q
good purpose. The home canned
vegetables are usually better tnah
can be bought and this will be es-
peeaallyzs-true of those canned In
North Dakota as the quality OF the
North Dakota vegetables is very fine.
