What is considered the largest repre-
sentative gathering Of women in thi
county ever held, was held at the hig]
school Of this city last Saturday after
noon. Women from this city and from
all parts Of the county were presen
and the attendance exceeded 800. TIL,
purpose Of the meeting was to get al
! the women Of the county lined up f.
food conservation, which is SO necessary
| in order TO win this war.
| The meeting opened with selection:
! by the high school orchestra and sing
ing by the audience, after which Mrs
L. D. Brown, county chairman for thG
Women's auxiliary Of the county safety
commission, called the meeting TO order
and introduced the speakers.
Mrs. W. T. Coe of Minneapolis, for.
mer president Of the state federation
Of women's clubs, was the first speaker
She spoke first Oh patriotism, saying
that every woman who is patriotic is
active. She said that all our country
is asking Of the women is that they
conserve food and any woman who
does not heed this cry is as much Of a
Stacker as the man who is drafted and
then refuses to go to war.
The question of this county getting a
home administration agent was then tax
en- up by Mr.. Coe. She explained that
such agents are especially qualified
their salaryq and the county pays their
for this work, the government pays
expenses, amounting to about 5000 a
year. Mrs. Coe said that such an agent
would be Of incaluculable assistance in
demonstrating how to preserve fruits
without sugar, the making Of breads
with dark hours, the canning Of garden
stuifs. etc.
On motion of Mrs. Mary Street of
Royalton the meeting voted to request
the women's auxiliary Of the county
safety commission to ask for such an
agent, the people Of this county to as
sumo the expenses of $50 per month.
Miss Elizabeth Lange Of the state
university, gave a short talk on the
value of a home dcmonstratio4rage gent.
She said that the government is not
asking us to starve but to change our
habits, and she expressed the belief
that with the full cooperation Of tho
women the war would end sooner.
Miss Laura Brannen favored the au-
dience with group of songs, Miss Ed
ma Harkens acting as her accompanies.
A constitution was read and adopted
by the women.
Mrs. w. II. Gemmel of Brainerd,
chairman Of the women s auxiliary for
the Sixth district, congratulated Nor
rison county upon being the first coun-
ty in the district to take advantage of
the home demonstration agent plan and
on having the first large women s meet
ing in the district.
Election Of officers resulted in the
selection Of Miss Lillian Gunderson of
Elm Dale as vice president, Mrs. Mary
Street Of Royalton as secretary and
