among the early pioneers. Race or
creed was not considered, and
whether there was wedding or a
funeral, the neighbors from all
the country side were present! In
all, the years have been happy ones
and the pioneers can feel that they
have accomplished a wonderful
Transformation in the state.
FThe matter Of raising a fund for
the purpose Of compiling an annual
publication for the association was
brought before the meeting and was
favoTably acted upon. This contri-
button is to be voluntary. and the
material collected in these annual
publications will be invaluable to
the future historians Of this section
of the state. A resolution, thanking
the press Of the valley counties and
the city Of Fargo for the help they
have given the association, was
passed by a unanimous vote.
Rev. E. E. Saunders read a letter
from Col. Lounsbury, one Of the
earliest members of the association,
which was written on the occasion of
his 18th birthday anniversary. Col.
Lounsbury, who now makes his
home at Washington, D. c., express
ed the wish that he could be with his
former associates on this occasion,
but as that were impossible, he sent
his heartiest greeting to all of them.

South Dakota Women Taking Place OF
Men i'm Fields and Elsewhere.

Pierre, S. D., July 18.-Are South
Dakota women doing their share to
win the war? The story of Rose
Cacek. of Belvidere, seems to be the
answer. T.
John Cacek left his farm near Bel
videre last year to enlist in the army.
1t was feared that his land could not
be cultivated this year, but Miss Rose,
his 17-year-old sister, met the emer-
gency. She has IS acres of crops un-
der cultivation.
Some time ago Miss Cacek decided
that she needed more-horses. She
broke team Of colts herself and
they are performing valuable work.
