THREE BIG SESSIONS FOR
WOMEN At CONVENTION

of Special Programs for Wives
at Farmers Convention

coming convention, o that
there will be three sessions for women
only, in the afternoon and evening
of February 18th, and the evening of
March LIST. A joint session will be
held the afternoon of March lst, al
the time of the tuberculosis demons
tration, and the lecture on the dairy
COW, as the committee believes thes e
subjects will be Of interest to the
farm women and others in attendance.
In connection with the woman's inter.
est in the latter of the two subjects, it
is very aptly remarked. that the
North Dakota farmer generally keep
just as many COWS as his wife can
milk, so why shouldn't she be inter.
ested in how to select, and care for a
milk COW. The ladies of this COM
mittee also wish it advertised that
they will serve supper on both the
evenings free to all attending women
on February 28th and March lst.
Arrangements are being made to Sc
cure the use Of the big lodge room,
upstairs in the auditorium for the ex-
elusive use of the ladies' during the
convention, this will make it conven-
lent to the main sessions, which will
be put on in the opera house of the
same building. 1t is not to be for
gotten either, that prizes are being
offered this year, to the women who
bring in the best pan of rolls, the
best loaf of bread, five pound jar of
butter and exhibit of cottage cheese.
Mrs. Moran, the chairman of this
committee, wants it stated that the
men are not to leave their wives at
home the night of the banquet, She
says something is being planned for
them also, and that they will then be
conveniently at hand, to steer their
better halves home when the show
is over.
A blank form has been gotten out
this week by the committee in charge
of the convention, which is to be fill
ed in by those who desire rooms for
any night of the meetings.. and b?
those who anticipate being here on
Thursday night at the banquet. These
will be mailed out shortly to a list
of farmers over the county or anyone
can obtain a blank tn fill out from n
Of tho h,airncc man ~, tnU,p Tho oh
iect of getting these out is to get a
line IN the approximate number who
will be present at the banquet, and
to make it possible for those from a
distance, or who desire to remain in
town n night to secure comfortable
lodgings. 1t will be a favor to the
management and will work to every
body's advantage, if these reserva-
tons slips are filled out and returned
sometime preceding the week of the
convention.
The complete program will be an
nounced not later than the 18th of
February. The committee in charge
are e~ndeavoring to get everything
definitely arranged for, so that the
program Ear be put on just as adj
.vertised. Definite word has been re-

tive Magnus Snowfield, of Hannah,
has this meeting in charge. He re-
ports that local men from the clubs

The list of prizes for farm produce
is more attractive than in any previ-
GUS year, as the wholesale houses do
ing business in the county have many
of them put up attractive premiums.
