activity today. one little corner is de-
voted to the women's department.
And it might be said that this corner

sales this morning proved that. and
the good record made then has been
pretty we'll kept up during the re-
mainder Of the day.
Mrs. i. F. Stokes. chairman of the

Grand Forks. and Mrs. w. A.. Nc
Intyre, vice chairman OF the women's
Liberty Loan committee for North
Dakota, are on duty during all of the
day. as they have been for more than
a week. preparing for the campaign.
and they have several women assist
ing them in the sales.
Women who are going to invest in
the bonds of the third Liberty Loan

make their investments. And women,
just as much as men, are expected to
do their share toward helping to
Light the Torch" 50 it is presumed
that there will be no need of going
out to invite the women in to make
their purchases. To buy a bond and

MORE HELP
WITH DRESSINGS

The committee on surgical dressings
Of the Grand Forks county chapter
draws attention to the fact hat many
women are needed in the surgical
dressings department. for the day
classes. There is a special allotment
Of dressings to be gotten out by the
first of May, if possible. and large
numbers Of women are needed for the
day classes. These are in progress
from 9 to 1880 o'clock and from . to
5 o'clock.
In many of the churches yesterday
appeals were made for more men to
assist with the making of dressings.
The men are needed too and it is
hoped that the appeals made yester-
day will bring good results. but the
fact that the ome were not men
toned need not inspire them with the
feeling that they are not needed.
Women have been doing this work for
some months and on them must. fall
the burden of the greater moun Of
it. They are only asking the men to
help them. SO every nj who pos
sibly can is asked to devote some time
during the week to the surgical dress
ings. Glasses are held in the surgical
dressings rooms in the %postofice build
