Continue w. G. T. u.
State Headquarters
Here For the Present

One of the most important bust
ness matters featuring the state w.
G. T. u. convention which closed at
Valley City Monday noon, was the
decision to continue the state head
quarters ONCE in Fargo for the pres
ent at least, this being made espec-
tally necessary just now by the very
great volume of state work pouring
in upon that Office, part OF which has
to do with assisting the government
in its war problem. 1t was thought
for a time preceding the state con-
vention, that the headquarters Of
fee might have to be closed, but a
strenuous effort is to be made to
raise funds for its maintenance.
Mrs. Minette B. Bowe, who was
reelected state treasurer. was also
retained as headquarters secretary.
Upon her as secretary has devolved
a large amount of the work done in
recent months for the soldiers, such
as filing of comfort bags, ETC.. and
the soldiers and sailors work Of
the state W. c. T. u. will be GEN.
tralized at the headquarters office,
under the supervision of Mrs. F. H.
Wilder, of Fargo, who was reap
pointed superintendent Of that work.
The North Dakota w. G. T. us
were particularly fortunate this year
in having at their convention Mrs.
Ida B. Wise, of Cedar Rapids. Ia,
president of that states w. c. T. u.
Mrs. Wise is not only a splendid
speaker, but an intensely practical
and broad minded woman, and lent
valuable advice on many matters
coming before the convention. She
gave three addresses, one Saturday
evening and two on Sunday, which
were among the finest features OF
the convention. The national presi-
dent, Miss Anna Gordon, of Evan
ston, ILL.,, could not be present as
planned, having been called to New
Mexico. where a prohibition cam
paign and the state convention are
now in progress, and where the state
w. C. T. u. president is i'll Of typhoid
fever.
The majority of the Fargo dele

e-elected state president returns

ALI Knitting Possible
Must Be Turned In To
Red Gross By Saturday

A most urgent request is made by
the knitting committee of the Fargo
chapter of the Red Cross that all
who have knitting on hand turn in
to the headquarters as many COM
pleted articles as possible by this
coming Saturday, the end OF the
month. 1t is imperative that this be
done, not only by those who promised
various articles by then but others
who have yarn out, as at best Fargo
will fall far short OF the quota OF
400 each of knitted pairs OF socks,
knitted mufflers, sweaters, helmets
and wristlets. expected Of it by the
last OF September for immediate
shipment abroad.
Many have had yarn out from the
Red Cross headquarters. for weeks,
and as the war department is max
ing insistent call for the greatest
number possible of knitted garments
to beN sent abroad before cold
weather sets in, in order to conserve
the health OF the American and
allied forces so far as possible, every
knitter is urged to help to the ut
most OF her ability.
The headquarters being closed
every Monday except to the members
of the cutting and packing commit
tee. it will be necessary as above
stated, to turn in the articles for
this months quota on Saturday.
