NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPING
Land Near Medina, Known by Many

the country seems to be developing
and land is being sold more rapidly

paid something like $4,000. The

One of the brothers expects to move
here with his family next fall and
make the farm their future home and

Flaherty's health the past winter had
been poorly. Toward spring she seem

good health, but God had ordained
otherwise and she passed away sur
rounded by her family.
She was a woman OF such kind and

death caused universal sorrow among
her dear friends and neighbors here

She will be sadly missed by her large
circle Of friends, but no words can
express the grief that is felt by her
loving husband, devoted daughters and
loyal sons at the loss OF this dearly be-
loved and self sacrificing wife and
mother. They knew and fully appre-
ciated the worth OF this dear one, and
they returned as best they could the
many acts OF self sacrifice performed
for them. She was practical and
devoted member OF the Catholic
church.

ing had been done since the last meet

gotiating for suitable grounds and

til the June meeting of the club.
The Western Union received hard
Jolt at the meeting and the club pass
ed resolution that each member sign
a petition asking that the company in
stall an uptown Office in the near flu
ture. With the office located at the
Northwestern, passenger station the
employees there do not have time to
attend to it properly as their other
duties are SO numerous. The service
is almost as bad as none at all and
the people of Denison believe that the
Western Union Telegraph company
should improve it by having an uptown
Office The petition was generally
signed and will be forwarded within a

of the opinion that it would be fitting

The Bismarck On. d. Tribune has
| the following to say about Col. William

Laub of this city, and who has visited
| here a number of times in the past.
We are pleased to publish the matter
which is OF complimentary nature
about Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins. who are
so closely related to Denison people.
The item follows:
Through r. ID. Hoslsins, former clerk
of the supreme court, now sojourning
in Seattle, comes a copy Of the Post
Intclligencer. which dcvotes more
than a column to announcing the. ap-
pointment of Col. William Il. Perkins
to the presidency of the Washington
State university board of regents. Col.
Perkins, for years one OF Bismarck's
leading citizens, recently returned to
the capital city to Investigate the pos
sibilities of North Dakota flax in con-
nection with a large American linen
project in which he is interested. His
many friends here will be glad to
learn of the new honor which has
come to him in the west.
Colonel Perkins. the new president
of the board of regents, has been a
member OF the. board since Jan. l.
1914, and was reappointed two months
later for full six year term says

| is the chance for Iowa girls to pre-
pare to do their bit in the war.
| To train women for effective Rel
Cross service work the University o
Iowa will give special eight weeks
course. beginning June 18th and end
| ing August 18th
The purpose will not be to trair
| Red Cross nurses. That cannot be
| dore in so short time. Besides, the
government already has the nurses
It will be rather to train workers fol
capable home service-making of com
| forts for soldiers at the front, care OF
the poor, relief work among persons
| left dependent by the departure Of
! soldiers, and other kinds of communi
ty welfare work made necessary by
the war.
The need of careful preparation for
such work is great. Already much ef
fort has been wasted by volunteer
| workers through lack OF understand
ing OF what they are to do and how tc
do it well.
For the university's brief course all
the special facilities of the college OF
medicine. the nurses training school
the department of home economics
ard the bureau of social welfare will
be concentrated. Expert instructors
will be in charge of the classes and
will push the work vigorously. The
work will cover such subjects as ele
mentary hygiene. home dietetics, prep
aration of surgical dressings, first aid
physical culture, social service, nurs
ing and child care and neighborhood
sanitation.
Miss Mary C. Haarer, superintend
ent of the nurses training school. and
herself Red Cross nurse, will direct
| the course. She has already visited
Washington and New York to get eX
pert assistants and to observe similar
work there. 49, ..
| "This Is one of the most important
things the university has ever under
taken" aPres. w. A. Jessup declared il
giving out news of the plan, Ut throw:
open the facilities OF the institution tt
welfare work in a greater way thar
ever before. =
Hundreds of Iowa women ought tC
| take this course. Few of them can be
Red Cross nurses, but many must be
workers in other lines of Red Cross
work. Just as there must be twenty
| men back OF the line engaged in sup
port service to keep one man on the
firing line. so there must be many
women and girls at work at home max
ing supplies and carrying on other
work for every woman at the front in
the relief stations and hospitals.
Every college woman who is not
obliged to do something else this
summer ought to take this course to
fit herself to do effective Red Cross
service work at home and to instruct
others in her home community to do
this work. This course is open to any
girl more than sixteen years old"
Out of those who finish the eight
weeks course those who are recon-
mended by the Red Cross authorities
may be selected for additional train
ing of two weeks in the hospitals here
to fit them to be Red Cross nurses
