County Organizations viii
Be Perfected At Conference

A conference Of the executive
committees Of the principal depart
ments Of the Woman's Committee
OF the. National Council Of Defense,
Dakota division, for Cass, Trail and
Steele counties, is being held this
afternoon in the Commercial club
rooms and Mrs. T.. L. Conklin of
bismarck, chairman OF the Woman's
committee, is presiding officer. The
purpose Of this meeting is to per-
rect an organization Of the state,
county and community workers that
all the women of the state may
have an opportunity to assist In
Whatever demands the government
may make upon them IN the future.
The work OF the present is the
drive for student nurses, and this
conference is held at this particular
time to get the women organized for
this work. Were the counties and
communities not organized for this
purpose, practically the entire quota
from this state would come from
the larger cities. and the girls, who
live in the smaller places, would
not be given q chance, although
they are as anxious to serve their
country as the girls from the cities.
Every girl in the state who is will
Ing to enter this service will be Civ
en- an opportunity to do SO.
Through this machine Of state,
county and community organiza-
tons, Mrs. Conklin hopes to keep
In touch with the patriotic work that
is being carried on In the state. and
also to know Just what is the rela-

The young man, who was a student
in the Ada high school, enlisted in

Letters have been received from him
telling how it all happened, but no
word from him has reached the

He was born in FELTON,, where the

years ago, when they removed to

never known to back down, and old

Peat Experiment

Crookston, MINI, July 31.-For the
first time in the history of Mime
sofa, there will gather at the Dahl
farm, near Golden Valley postof1ce.
twenty miles east Of Holt, in eastern
Marshall county farmers, townspeo-
pie and soil scientists for the first an
nual visiting day Of the Northwest
Peat Experimental farm, which is
Soils Of the Minnesota Agricultural
ment station, Crookston. This peat
farm was established by a law. pass
ed by the last legislature, introduced
by Senator D. P. O'Neil, Of Thief
River Falls, providing for three peat
experimental FARMS, one to be 10"
Gated in northwestern Minnesota,
one in northeastern Minnesota and
one in central Minnesota. The selec~
ton Of the Northwest Peat farm was
made by DR.. F. J. Away, chief Of the
Division Of Soils, University Farm,
St. Paul, and Superintendent c.. G..
Selvig, early last fall. Their work
has progressed sufficiently to enable
them to hold this inspection day.
Three areas are included, namely,
q portion Of unburned peat land,
burned peat and mineral soil where
there is no peat. The Dahl farm,
which was selected, has all Of these
three conditions. All kinds Of crops
are grown on each Of the three areas.
In addition, the unburned area has an
application Of potash acid phosphate,

Branches of Nursing Service
May Be Recognized by Uniforms

The uniforms OF the nurses on ac-
tive duty, whether In the army or
navy, in Red. Cross. hospitals or in
civilian nursing service, are in sharp
contrast to the costumes OF volunteer
nurses. Today, the nurses costume
is planned for her part in aseptic
surgery. Not O. frill that would har-
Dor germs, not a. useless button to
sew on--nothing that would tear
easily is permitted. The only addi-
tons sanctioned are her treasured
military or naval insignia or her Red
Cross emblem on cap, sleeve or badge
Learn to recognize all of the uniforms
that designate the nurse on active
duty. Even If you do not salute, as
all French officers do, do not pass her
by without a. solemn invocation that
she may realize her glorious woman's
instinct to serve her country by saw
ing her stricken sons.
Best Known Uniforms.
The best known uniform among
the soldier wounded is the grey cot
ton crepe working uniforms OF both
army and navy, which makes its
wearer, the best dressed woman in
the world" Gray is an innovation
abroad, made necessary by the Iaun-
dry problem in France. The Red Cross
brassard is worn only by nurses serv~
ing directly under the Red Cross.
Wear Utility Apron.
In the operating rooms and in the
dressing work in the wards, the war
nurse wears a white utility apron.
It is a most unromantic apron, adopt
ed to simplify the ever present laun-
dry problem, but it is badge Of SER

The Fargo Plan.
'The plan adopted Tor Fargo diff
fers somewhat. 1t was decided not
to make a. canvass Of the town but
to give everyone an opportunity to
register by placing the registration
cards at convenient places in the
city. The cards will be found at
all the banks, clothing h&Ases and
cafes during the next few days. It
is the opinion Of the committee that
there will be liberal response to
the request Of the committee in Far
go. It is the desire that the regis
tration be made at once. Harvest
tons of the county and the ener-
gency may come any day,
1.-THE committee will make the
necessary arrangements to notify the
registrants when and where their
services are needed. Inasmuch as
the Cass County Farm bureau is
looking after the labor needs Of the
county in cooperation with the u.
S. employment office, the necessary
machinery is here to get the help
where needed.
The following is a copy of the
cards that the registrants are asked
to fill out and sign:

ed women.
White Es Dress Uniform.
All white is the dress uniform of
the Red Cross nurse in foreign SER
vice, where it's wearing, for laundry
reasons, has to be a luxury. Nurses
of the navy and army corps wear the
same uniforms, with their insignia,
the Caduceus Of the army, or the
anchor of the navy, replacing the
Red Cross pin. If they have entered
military service from the Red Cross
reserve they retail the Red Cross
upon their caps.
Nurses Cape.
The famous cape Of dark blue lin
ed with red, has become loved by the
French, and it is worn with the bril-

closes Very Little
Blight Damage

Potato fields in the Glyndon dis
trict are in excellent condition. ac-
cord!ng to z. D. Sylvester. agricul-
turalist of the Glyndon high school,
who. with II. c. Boyle. made a sur
vey Of potato fields in the GIyndon
district.
They examined q different
patches and examined 2I,300 hills
and found 419 affected. or less than
2 per cent. This is in no ways
alarming. Seed that was treated
with corrosive sublimate was not
affected.
Another point Of extreme interest
Is that the affected plants have not
set tubers of any size. and If they
have. they are so small that when
screened will not affect the seed"
said Mr.. Sylvester.
The crop is above the average
both in area planted and the condi-
ton. 1t warrants a goodly amount
Of seed for the Southern potato
growers from the famous Red River
valley"

When 1T was found that the peas
ants Of Ukraine had secreted their
stores of grain, General Won Eich-
