not to be an amateur band but will be
what is known in musical circles as

Child Welfare
Examination Here

On Monday and Tuesday Of this
week the Child Welfare department
of the Womens Council Of Defence
measured and weighed about 40 chill
dren under six years Of age at the
Elk's Home in this city. Mrs. Blals.
dell was in charge Of this work and
was assisted by the physicians Of the
city and several other women belong-
ing to the local council.
Many Of the children were found
to be all o. K. physically while 9TH
ers were found with ailments Of which
their parents were not aware OF. Two
cards were filled out for each child
one which was given to the parents
and the other sent into headquarters
at Washington. The object Of TINS
examination was to ascertain the all
ment of all the children Of the COM
| munity and correct them while they
were young. The examination was
given throughout the country by the
Council of Defence, free Of charge
and will no doubt have great deal
! to do with the development Of strong
| and sturdy future generation.
The Williston doctors that assisted
with the examinations were Drs. Win

terman, Hagen and MacManus.

last Tuesday, and returned to Ft. Bu-

they must have had a hard time Of
it, and suffered more from the lack
of water than from any other cause.
There has been shipped from this
point this season $4,000 pounds Of
wool and ten car loads Of cattle, the
latter shipment having been made
by w. L. Richards. About Tuesday
Of this week it is expected that Mr..

Demonstration
Ends Tomorrow

The Canning demonstration that has
been in session for the past three
days will end tomorrow night. This
demonstration is in charge of the
Woman's National Council Of Defence
and is being held in the building just
north of Pasonault's Studio on Main
Street. The work is being conducted
by Mrs. G. NJ. Holland, County Food
Chairman and Mrs. DR.. MacManus
assisted by women from the country
surrounding Williston. They have
equipment sufficient for the canning
of 200 quarts of vegetables during
an afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon
is set aside for the women Of the sec
ond ward of Williston and any other
women who wish to bring vegetables
to be canned. Any kind Of vegetables
will be canned and all they ask OF
the women is that they bring the
vegetables, dish pan, PAIRING knife,
dish towel and the cans for the vege-
tables and stay and assist with the
canning of their vegetables. Any
amount may be brought and this is
a mighty fine chance and a cheap one
for the women Of Williston to get
their green vegetables canned for
next winters use and also learn how
this canning is done in the right way.
During the past few days Of the dem
onstration great deal Of fine work
has been done but more Of it could
have been handled had the women
turned out.
Bring any green vegetables such
as green corn on the cob, beans, peas,
caulihower, swiss chard, beets, etc.
These vegetables will taste mighty
fine next winter and every family
should have their supply.
