NEWS NOTES

During the closing day of the
Chautauqua held in Medicine
Lake, Mont, recently, the large
tent was turned over for sever
al hours to auctioneers who were
selling articles for the benefit of
the Red Cross. After the auc-
ton, women workers served a
chicken supper at one Of the
large hotels in the town. The
proceeds realized for the Red
Cross from these two sources
amounted to $1698.

One of the most successful
Red Cross picnics of the season
was that held at Neilsville, Min
nesota recently. Only three
days notice was given of the pic
mic and auction sale. AS a re-
suit, the Neilsville Red Cross
chapter, which had charge of
the event, took in $1,2O7 from
the auction and other features.
Red Cross work rooms of
North Dakota have been Of very
great assistance to home demon
stration agents as offering plac-
es where large groups Of wo-
men may be reached and inter-
ested in special food study. In
addition to giving talks. on food
saving in several towns, the
agent prepares the noon lunch
once a week for the workers.
This serves to demonstrate good
conservation receipts. Suppers
for the benefit of the Red Cross
have been given successfully in
many places under the agents.

"Never roll tinfoil!" is the
plea of Mrs. Della Armstrong,
vice chairman of the salvage de-
partment Of the Minneapolis
chapter Of the Red Cross, Min
neapolis, Mimi. Although heavy
balls Of the silvered paper are
compact and neat, she explained,
they must be unwrapped, piece
by piece, for classification. The
sale of tinfoil netted the Red
Cross $377 in May and 5000 in
June, each piece of tinfoil be-
ing sorted into it's proper class
in order to get the maximum
price. Seventy-five cents per
pound is the largest amount paid
for the best tinfoil, the tough,
yellowish variety which comes
on expensive cigars. The Sec
ond class consists of the embos-
sed tinfoil often wrapped around
candies and tobacco, which may
be sold as high as Is cents a
pound.
Mrs. Vera J. Doud, CARING
ton, N. D., who was the . first
woman to be elected as township
assessor in Foster county last
spring, donated her salary to
the local chapter of the Red

for actual work done or for her
expenses.
More than $1,000 was raised
at a Red Cross auction sale held
recently at Wanamingo, MINI.
A feature of the sale was the
auctioning off of business men
of the village to the farmers for
service during one day of har-
vest. The services of thirty
men were sold under the agree
ment that if any of them sefus-
ed to work in the fields on day.

are expected to work abroad and
the others at home. This an
nouncement shows that the Wi
mona institution realizes the war
needs and is preparing to meet
them to the best Of its ability.
The classes which will be grad
uated in September will be the
first graduation Of nurses from
the Winona General Hospital in
two years, as none were supplied
with diplomas last year owing
to the lengthening of the train
ing course from two to three
years. With the additional year
of training, this years gradu-
ates are declared to be particu-
larry well fitted for all kinds Of
nursing service.
With earnest directness and
simple telling words, Prof. Mar
ia Sanford, "the best loved wo-
man in Minnesota" inspired q
large audience Of present and
former University students to
help in raising $4,000 with
which to send to France a mo-
bilized unit Of 10 women from
the university, under the Amer
lean Red Cross, in q mass meet
ing held in Shevlin hall last
week. Miss Sanford explained
that it was planned to raise q
third Of the needed $780, 900 fund
by subscriptions of 10 wealthy
alumni Of the university, and
that she hoped to find $50 per-
sons to join with her in pledg-
ing to raise 500 apiece, so that
only $4,000 would be needed
from other friends of the uni
versity.
Miss Mary Sullivan, Aber-
deem, s. D., has just received
word from Red Cross headquart-
ers that she has been accepted
for foreign service. She will
sail the latter part of August
from New York City. Since be-
ing graduated from st. Luke's
training school for nurses, Aber-
deem, in 1911, Miss Sullivan has
been doing private duty in the
hospital.
L. c. Reed Of Westport, Min
nesota has recently donated a
