tended.
Following the dinner. the report Of
the boys division was made by II. l..
Winslow, chairman of the boys work
committee. This report showed that
the department had not been affected
noticeably by the war, n although
no records had been broken. a sub
stantiai increase was shown. A num-
Der of outings. parties and ,socials had
been held during the year, each draw
ing good crowds. A review of the
eqipment Of the boys division was
given, the outstanding feature being
the reading department.. In this de-
partment there are "a weekly and
monthly papers and magazines. be-
sides the leading dailies. The MEM
bership in this division is 1913.
In the report of the physical de-
partment, Mr.. Carpenter stated that
this department had been badly dis

CLERKS WOULD
DO THEIR BIT
Their Working Hours Are
so Long That They Have
no Time for War Gardens

The following letter was received
from Thomas Allan Box, secretary of
the North Dakota Council Of Defense,
by the chairman of the Grand Forks
county branch. The letter shows the
working conditions for clerks in small
towns and was sent to Mr.. Box as an
appeal for assistance. Mr.. Box asks
that the county chairman use his in
fluence to have the merchants in the
small towns i'll the county shorten
the. hours Of the clerks for the rea-
sons stated in the letter. The letter
is as follows: \
Il have written Hon. G. M. Young
for clerks and they say to take 1t up
with you. I am a married man with
three children and l clerk in a gen.
eral store. Last year l was at --.
clerked at --n's, and u hours
were from Z a. m. to $3.50 p. M, and
1 put in two acres of potatoes and
one-quarter acre Of beans. l worked
it in the morning and on Sundays.
1 also raised 10 chickens. Now,
these things ahead. l go to work at
Z a. M, one hour earlier and we nave
to work till after dark. They want
to see if the farmers come in which
is about 10 o'clock. So you see it
takes a lot Of time away from us
clerks. 1t is this way In most small
towns.
I'm Minnesota they are making the
stores close at z p. NJ. why not 1
this state? l Guild put in a big gar
den and SO wouia lots of clerks iii
North Dakota Ii you will, take this
matter up and discuss it n see IL
you canno help the poor clerks to do
their snare. Some of the merchants
want to close. but one will not unless
all of them do. Pass a ruling that it
DC done and I believe very few would
object to closing. Such a ruling would
80 as mucn W increase production
as any n act that you could take.
OF course we expect to work later
during the harvest season, but from
now until September l there really
is no need for it, and it is deprivlI:g
us, of an opportunity to do Jul bit
by taking some Of the load from the
producer"
1t is probable that the North Da-
kota Council Of Defense will consider
this matter at its nex meeting as a
I War measure.

treated for wounds received while on
the floor. Many members had been
given swimming instruction. az well
as instruction in other lines OF athlet-.
les. The instructor also appeared be-.
fore the Civic League and board Of
education and spoke for city play
grounds.
The most Interesting part OF this
report was the work in the boys de-
partment. Here the war had prac-
tically no effect, and the boys made
records in turning out to classes
Many tournaments were held during
the course Of the winter.
A total of 1921 men attended tn"
gyr, classes during the reDorted yeHr.
The report Of the Henera secretary.
H. H. Tuttle, showed that the expen-
ditures had been kept within the bud
get. and that much good work e
been done. MIR. futile stated that les
"Y" men were in the service. and
spoke of the necessity OF keeping the
home base of the association alive. in
order that the men at the front might
be served. In both of the financial
campaigns which were carried on Tor
war work, the city oversubscribed its
quota. In spite of the fact that many
men are in the service, the dormitor-
les are nearly always full. During the
year one of the board of directors, the
late A. p. Clifford, died and Mr.. futile
stated that his counsel had been great
ly missed.
Election Of Directors.
In concluding Mr.. futile said, Have
letters Y. NJ. C. A mean much more
now than at any previous time"
All Of the reports were received and
ordered to be filed.
The five directors whose terms ex-
pired were reelected, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. L. II. Schnabel, who
asked that his name be not placed for
reelection. Attorney w. A. McIn-
tyre was elected in his stead. Dean
| George Wells Of the university law
school was elected to fill the unexpir-
ed term Of the late A: P. Clifford, and
Mr.. N. G. Nelson to succeed Mr.. And
erson, who resigned from the board.
After the election of officers, the
audience, led by Mr.. H. E. Winslow
sang Edmund Vance Cooks version
of Dixie" -.
General Secretary futile then gave
a brief history of the Y. NJ C. A. from
the time it had been first organized.
This was followed by an address by
general secretary elect. w. H. Elfring
Among other things, Mr.. Elfring said
that instead of $50 people, he would
now have charge of $4,000 people, and
called upon the men present who were
not using the "Y' to do so. Il am a,

or not. There are a few ~reprobates ir

New Plan Explained.
After Mr.. Elfring'sr speech, Mr.
Tuttle presented the community plan
MI. futile. in a brief introduction Il
the plan, told of the need of sucf
g, policy and expressed the belief tina
as soon as the local association tool
it up, many others would follow. Thu

Answer--This plan Is followed in
many cases, but we doubt its utility.
The dificulty in keeping vegetables
usually ID: due to too high temperature
and too dry air. Neither Of these
evils Is corrected by the absence Of q
floor. Build your vegetable room as
far from, the furnace as possible. Pro-
