Nez0s of W0m1e11S Work In Many Fields

soon as the text books, which are ex-
pected any day, arrive. AS the class
membership is limited to 20, these
registrants will be divided into three
separate classes. There is a lack of
instructors for the work at present,
but within a few weeks 1t is expected
that more nurses will be available
for this work. In order to start an
other class, Mrs Lier stated that 10
more young women could be accom-
modated, and those who wish to
register may do so by calling at 10
Broadway.

Walter, Third Son OF Aid.
W. B. Meland Enlist
ed Today

You think you are in the army
now but wait until you have been at
the front for three months straight
as have and you will begin to know
something about it,.
The above was one of the state
ments in q letter received from Ser
geant CrviIIe G. Meland by the family
Of his father Alderman w. B. Meland
and directed to, his brother Arthur.
This letter was written early Sin July
and was the first received from the
young soldier for over month. He
was one of the Moorhead high school
boys who enlisted in the spring Of
1917, in the signal service of the
army. He is only a little over Is
years old, but is doing important
work in charge of a 15-man detail of
the headquarters detachment on
nal men are to string the telephone
and telegraph wires ahead Of the
army and keep them in repair. In a
former letter Sergeant Meland said
his detail had not been in direct con-
nection with the army except by
wire, for several weeks and the only
time they heard from the rear was
when food and other supplies were
brought to them.
His older brother, Arthur, who en-
listed in the engineers, has been
transferred to a sharpshooters' corps
and is now finishing his training at a
rifle range near Washington, D. G.
He has already received his overseas
equipment and may be on the way
now, as he wrote home that he would
not be permitted to write from the
rifle range.
A third son, Walter, enlisted this
with the Clay county local
board for special training as an auto
mechanic at the University of Mime
sofa and will leave on August IS for

Meland, Ira, who is not yet II years
old, will enter one of the schools for

nifty to be ready for service if he is

Army Worm Has
Attacked Flax

The army worm is causing much
damage to growing crops in the east
,ern part of Moland and the western
part Of Spring Prairie townships. A
report was received this morning Of
the ravaging of fax fields by the
worms. Nearly all Of the grain is
too far. advanced to be injured by the
pests unless it may be late oats. Corn
and garden truck will suffer unless
the worms are destroyed.
Al plan for killing the worms that
has been found satisfactory is to cut
a swath or two of grain or grass in
their path and spray it with paris
green. The worms are easy victims
of the poison.

Are Needed

There was strong demand for
men for work in the harvest fields
this morning and a number were
sent out by the employment Office
of the Clay County Farm bureau. C.
G. Vincent who is assisting in plac-
ing the men, said there was demand
for at least 20 more than were
available.
Chairman Witherow, of the Moor
head work or fight committee, and
Chief of Police MaIvey are rounding
up all local men available and find
very few slackers. Cutting was re-
sumed this afternoon and the grain
must be shocked. If it is allowed to
lie. on the ground the moisture will
cause the kernels in the heads to
sprout.
