ranged by the Business Girls club

portance of the women in commerce
in recent years. She told Of the vari-
GUS ways in which the club is help
ing the business women. Miss Anna
Chisholm, president of the local club
presided Monday evening. .-.
Mr.. Weddell laid particular stress
on the admonition that making a
proper return Of ones income is more
than a matter Of duty, being a mat
ter Of patriotism. He said that the
exact income, to the penny, must be
returned il IL reaches $1,000 in the
case OF a single person, and $4,000 in
the case of a married person. All IN
comes, from rents or other sources,
must be included and if a person is
in business his expenses must be
deducted. ~
All employees of the state or federal
government and public school teach
ers are exempt. and a single person
who has parents or other relatives
entirely dependent upon him or her
for support, needs pay tax only on
such income as is in excess Of ST.
900. He or she must make returns
on all income above $1,000 however.
Single people with no dependents pay
3 7er cent on all income in excess OF
81, 900. -E
Mr.. Weddel1 also cautioned that all
people who get part of their incomes
in the form Of board and room, must
include their estimated worth in the

Call For Crocheted Trench CABS.
Demand Also For Kid Wdistcodts

A request has come from the Wo-
mans Bureau, Minneapolis, to Mrs.
N. c. Young as representative of the
North Dakota Southeastern district
Of the Northern division of the Am
erican Red Cross, asking that a num-
Der Of Crocheted trench caps be made
in the next few weeks.
Up to this time the Red Cross has
not requested trench caps, (although
a few have been turned in and &C
cepted), probably because the gov
eminent has been furnishing them
it is thought here. Now, for reasons
not given, the call comes for work
on such articles during the coming
two weeks.
1t Is specifically stated however that
the bureau does not want any wom-
en- diverted from the knitting, and
for that reason Mrs. Young makes a
special appeal to women and girls
who do not knit but who can crochet,
to contribute the work required for
these trench caps.
Q Trench Cap Directions.
The following are authentic direc-
tions for the crocheting Of the Am
erican Red Cross Douglas" trench
cap:
MateriaI-Khah or gray worsted
knitting yarn, 1 skein. Crochet
needle No. 5.
Directions-For single crochet.
Insert hook, draw yarn through, pass
yarn around hook and draw it
through both loops on the hook.

pieces OF surgery having to be done

The Bolshevik party is the only
hope for Russia" said Mrs. Rudd,
stating that the people have always
been slaves, and that now, free Of
the car. they are in terror Of the
power OF the Cossacks. Conditions
reported to her recently as 10 the
conditions OF the common people Of
Russia are more appalling than ever,
butter of the poorest grade selling
as high as $40 a pound, peasants
working for 85 cents a day, and chill
dren going without milk being some
Of the conditions.
Mrs. Rudd believes Kerensky to
be a traitor, that he went against
his own people and against Russia
by attempting TO retain a part Of
the original dumas, which are
made up Of men always in favor
with the car. She described the
BOlsheviki as the most representa-
tive people Of Russia. including the
student body as well as the common
classes, and says that If they can
not hold out until the war is won for
democracy, it will indeed be a black
day for Russia.

ure comprised a group Of piano solos

Interviewed further, as to other
needs in the war zone. Mrs. Kiefer
informed a Forum representative
that there has been practically no
sugar In the war zone since last July.
"One mistake which American peo-
pie are making, with the best inten-
tons in the world, is using a lot Of
sugar for candies. which are not
substantial and which arc often not
in the best state Of preservation by,
the time they reach Europe" All

but why not use the money thus cN-
pended for supplying sweaters. socks

the sentiment of the candy. but while
