in that county. Mrs. E. w. Blackwell

Mrs. S. A. Zimmerman, Barnes coun-

showed that the women Of the var
ious counties as we'll as at home were
working in complete harmony to car
ry out the great work that is needed
in all these various patriotic branch
es to help this government win the
war. There has been a remarkable
response by the women OF the state
to get into the game and "go over
the top" in every drive for money and
for educational purposes, that is most
, gratifying to those who have had
charge of the work. Home work has
been sacrificed and vacations curtail-
ed in order that no department. OF gov
ermental patriotic work should suffer.
Mrs. John Tracy, of Valley City,
spoke on how the Red Cross and Lib
erty Loan workers had worked in CO.
operation with each other and was
greatly pleased at the results obtain
ed. There had at no time been any
opposition but each and every one
had fallen in to step and kept up per
feet time without break. Mrs. Will
linar, of Sanborn, gave very inter,
esting report of the work of the child
welfare department in her part OF the
county, and there were many workers
from the various outside precinces OF
the county present to show their IN
terest in the gathering, which was
certainly one of earnestness in the
: important work in which they are en-
gagged as we'll as meeting OF inter-
est and good fellowship.
