difficult with which they will have

Mrs. F. H. Wilder, Fargo state
chairman Of the speakers bureau of
the Women's Liberty Loan campaign,

Thursday afternoon from Bismarck,
where she went on short notice to
speak at the conference Of women
who are Liberty Loan county chair
men, held there on Wednesday,
March 90. Mrs. Rudd gave a COM
prehensive talk that proved Of much
value to all who heard her, at this
meeting, explaining under what con-
ditions many Of these foreign speak
ing residents lived in Russia, her
own native country; why they came
to America and to North Dakota;
and why they are not AmericaniEed
as they should be-. Miss Minnie Mel

mittee, invited the county chairmen
present, to make inquiries of Mrs.

such people should be dealt with
and talked to.

tic terms Of Mrs. Rudd's ability in
helping solve these problems, and
urged the .chairmen to follow her ad-
vice.
