The final report of the War-Savings
Stamp drive in Brookings county will
not be out before the 18th, as there
are some districts that have request
ed more time. a few are some short
of their quota, and as the school Of
fcers, in all cases, desire to place
Brookings county in it's usual place,
"Over the Top"
l wish at this time to express my
thanks to all school officers, for the
loyal support they have given me, and
In the school districts, where, the
quota was too high, they have done
their duty without a single kick, for
example, Parnell No. 10. with only Is
families, and a quota Of $4,000. they
came over with a total subscription
of $4165, and are surely entitled to
special mention.
AS near as can be figured at this
time, it looks like a safe margin over
our quota. and next week l will try
and give through the papers of the
county, the total subscribed by the
district, including the city of Brook
ings, Bruce, Elkton. Volga and White.

soon as the work is completed.
Bylaws for the board were adopt
ed. The regular meeting will be held
every two months beginning, July 81,
instead of June 20, as was decided at
the last meeting to avoid meetings
during the Geneva Conference in
August and the holiday season in De
cember.
The nex war drive Of the Y. w. c.

Miss Anna Overs, the executive sec

work in agricultural territory ada
cent to them during emergency farm
labor needs of cultivation or harvest.
Kansas started an intensive campaign
for the enrolment of town and city
volunteers for harvest labor. Kansas
made ready to shut up shop during the
harvest period. Kansas prepared to
subordinate every activity, for a few
weeks, to the one supreme job Of saw
town and city in the state men, women
and boys, in such numbers as were
necessary, went to the fields; the men
to work as harvest hands, the women
TO cook for the volunteer army of har-
v~esters, the boys to fit in wherever
they could best serve. This Kansas
harvest army of nearly 100, 900 men did
the Job. All the outside help that
could be secured was used, Of course,
but by far the largest part of the help
came from right at home-the soft
town men who just simply couldn't
do it, and who wouldn't be tolerated
by the farmers,
And, in just the same way, the war
ed in Nebraska and Minnesota and
North Dakota and South Dakota. In
lust the same way. when necessary
and where necessary, crops will be
saved in every state. OF course, it
can't be done. For that we have the
word of many eminent critics OF the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the government in general
No doubt the kaiser himself has said
so, and surely the clown prince will
sustain the statement if further au-
thority be necessary. 1t just can't be

ABOUT COUNTY Y. w. C.. A.

1t Is reported that there is some
misunderstanding in regard to several
items of the budget of the county Y.
w. c. A. that was recently published
in this paper. The board wishes it
clearly understood that the salary is
that of the general secretary. Miss
Keith. who is employed to give all
her time to developing the work
throughout the county. The officers
and county board members are vol.
unteer workers and receive no com.
pensation whatever.
The travelling expenses cover the
cost of car fare and auto hire neces-
sary to get from n community to
another.
The item for national work is the
four per cent Of the budget which is
paid to the national board to help fin
ance its work in sending out national
secretaries and printed suggestions to
the local associations. The contin-
gent fund is to meet any emergency
that may arise.

WHAT KANSAS DID

The following story is given out by

plicatiOn to our own state:

OF course, it couldn't be done!"

why the farmers won't stand it. And
the town people can't stand it! Dear!
Dear! What an inefficient government!
Why doesn't Washington press a but
ton. or something. and send plenty
of permanent, experienced farm labor
to the farmers?"
But, strangely enough, the farmers
did stand for it, and strangely enough
the worm weaklings did stand the hard
work. Perhaps they hadn't read the
lamentations of the Can't-Do-It-Crowd
and didn't know they were foredoomed
to failure. Perhaps they were more
interested in whipping the Kaiser than
in hearing reasons why they were sure
to fall down on the job. Perhaps, be-
ing plain, everyday Americans who
are so absurd as to have assurance
they car d. anything, they just went
ahead with confident calmness and
did it! Really. it is too bad (for the
Huns) that these Kansans wouldn't
listen to- the righteousness OF the I'M
possible SQuad-so willing to show
that it just couldn't be done! What
a pity to hurt Hindenburg's feelings
by doing 1t. even If it vas impossible.

WAR IS GREAT GAME
But Huns Cannot Play Hand Grenade
Ball, Says McGonegal.

Charles McGonegal, returned from
the front, having lost both of his
hands and bearing the marks of 1O2
wounds, is proud of his gold wound
stripe, the divisional citation for
bravery in the Tao battle.
Accompanied by Private Leo Caron,
who lost an arm at Chateau Thierry,
McGonegal is visiting with friends
here in Grand Forks before leaving
for Minot, where he worked before
he entered service. He likens the
game Of battle to huge baseball
game, and speaks of the use of hand
grenades when rifles were useless ON
account of the distance.
Arriving in France on December
IS, last year. he was in the fighting a
few days over a month later. He was
wounded during the first part of Feb
ruary. receiving 1912 wounds over his
body from bursting shrapnel, and ar
rived at Hoboken in July, where he
was confined to a hospital nearly all
the time until November, when he
was discharged. A part of the time
McGonegal spent in touring the east
in the interest of the fourth Liberty
Loan and Red Cross.
McGonegal says he will go to school.

Nurse in France Says Prices are Very
High-Weather is Damp and She
Wears Two Sweaters Besides Sleep
ing Bag.

Sarah Sand, at the present time at
base hospital 60 in France, tell in
an interesting letter to her sister,
ences in foreign lands.
Miss Sand is on duty at the Meuse
valley hospital at which Lieutenant
Colonel Crane of Bismarck has
charge. Miss Sand left this city in
September and is very much attach
ed to her work.
She tells of the importance Of
obedience and discipline of the nurses
as with the soldiers themselves. Each
has a duty to perform n neglect
might mean the life of some moth
er's son. The nurses enjoy their re-
sponsibility, however, which is made
pleasant by various recreations.
Nurses are given certain hours Of
freedom during time they visit his
torical places of prominence, or take
long hikes in the strange country.
Miss Sand mentions the fact that
the prices of articles are very high.
In one instance, she says, she bought
a fountain pen. paying 40 francs for
it. h would be equal to about So
in American money. She is also the
proud possessor Of a field glass, which
was said to have een used by a Ger
man officer at the battle of Verdun.
These treasures m not as plentiful as
might be expected and Miss Sand is
very fond of her gift.
The weather, Miss Sand writes,
