1925 WHEAT ~1Ns[LANGDoN

Wheat prices have take an upward
jump of nearly thirty cents since the
market quotations of last weeks issue
of this paper, when the top figure was.
ST. 81. When the market closed on
Tuesday. the highest price offered
for wheat was 1922, there having
been a raise of ten cents on Monday
and another nine cent jump on Tues
days quotations. Present indications
are that prices for small grains of all
kinds will remain at a high figure for
some time to come, anyway at least
until the crop of this fall has been
marketed. The government crop re-
port for April, gives the condition of
the wheat crop Of the United States
as 63.7 per cent. The average for a
ten year period of the April LIST con-
dition is shown to have been 1872 per
cent.

Biennial Council
Meeting Begins At
New Orleans Monday

Monday, April 9, will mark the open
ing of the biennial session Of the Gen.
eral Federation. of women's clubs at
New Orleans, and the hostess state.
Louisiana, promises that this shall be
the most delightful as well as the most
helpful of council meetings. For this
purpose, there will be ample opportun-
ity given for discussion in the day
time meetings, while the evening Ses-
sions will be given over to distinguish
ed speakers.
The federation will sound the
patriotic note in no uncertain terms,
and Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles OF Cali
fornia, president of this organization Of
over 1000, 900 women, which has grown
until it is more than a national body,
has urgently requested all state fed
erations and all clubs to display our
national flag at all meetings. Mrs
Cowles recently sent the following
message to President Wilson: The
General Federation of Women's clubs
stands loyalty behind the government.
1t is our desire to serve the nation to
the best Of our ability"
Social features of an unusually
charming nature, owing to the large
resources of the south along this line,
have been planned for this biennial
session and will begin with an
elaborate pageant and reception Mon
day evening. An all-day Mississippi
river trip is included among these So
cial features, and will be enjoyed on
Friday of biennial week.
This years council is composed of the
officers and directors of the General
Federation, the chairmen of its de-
partments, the General Federation
state secretaries, presidents Of state
declarations, presidents Of clubs hold
ing direct membership in the General
Federation, honorary officers Of the
General Federation and local fedora
tons and committees, but attendance
at the meetings will be open to all
others besides these who constitute the
voting body.
So far as can be learned, owing to
the rush of other events and the con-
siderable distance of New Orleans
from here, none of the federated club
women of Fargo will be in attendance
at the biennial. Miss Minnie Nielsen.
of Valley City, for several years presi-
dent of the North Dakota federation,
will be there, however, as director for
this state in the biennial council.
