BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL
WOMEN WILL ORGANIZE

All business women in the country
are to be united in one big federation.
This includes actresses and nurses, ar
lists and stenographers, journalists
and shop girls-everyone, in fact, who
is economically independent. All this
will take place in St. Louis July 18th,
and Miss Lena M. Phillips, attorney
and executive secretary of the Ma
tional Business Women's Committee,
pointed out how this was to be done
at a meeting of the business women's
clubs held recently at the National
Board building Of the Y. w. C. A. in
New York.
"This is the first federation of wo-
mems clubs which will have economic
improvement for it's object" she ex-
planned, "the National League of Wo-
man Workers hinges on recreation for
the working woman, but we hope to
improve the business efficiency of
woman all over the country"

along their own line, never neglect an
opportunity of learning more about
their business, take extra time for
study and, above all, be sure that they
are not round pegs in square holes,
but are doing the work they are fit
ted for. "Many women who became
professional nurses about fifteen years
ago." said a delegate from Hartford,
Conn.,, "would be infinitely happier
and o efficient in another line of
work. They simply went into that be-
cause it was one of the few profess
sions open to women. The clubs hope
to establish a bureau of information
in different cities where statistics of
every trade and profession are kept,
a record of technical schools SO that
the candidate for a profession may
find out at once whether she is quail
flied and where she can get the best
training"

and bringing them into the state to
create a reign of terror, and to charge
that such reign of terror has been
fostered by the Nonpartisan league
comes from the aVlley City N. D.
Times-Record.
"The thugs will work under instruc-
tions from those who have hired them
and thew are to convey the impression
wherever they go that they are work
ing under the sanction of A, c. Town
ley and other Nonpartisan leaders,"
said the Fargo Courier-News of the
supposed plot. "Their activities will
be given lue publicity by the press
service of the plotters.
"North Dakota is not the only state
included in this plot" continues the
league organ. "Kept press papers
whose policy is to print things which
NAV have a tendency to divide the
farmers, are now printing news stor-
les from Kansas and other states,
where the harvest is under way that
the labor men are conspiring under
the l. w. w. leadership to begin a
reign of terror on the farms"
Commenting on this, the Valley City
Times-Record has the following to
say:
"The article in itself is a dirty SLAM
der to start with, as the l V. A. has
nothing in common with any such
movement, is not engaged in import
ing any thugs or toughs to agitate
labor or anybody else. The fact of
the matter is that the Nonpartisan
league has put a socialist condition on
the whole people of this state, and be-
fore very long we are going to feel
the effects of their work. The Cour-
ier-News hears the rambling of the
approaching storm and is looking for
a port to sail under cover, and the
only way that it can do so is to try
and pass the buck to the l. V. A. The
people of the state were warned of
this approaching disaster but they
wanted to try it out, 81 it is up to
them to try it out. But don't blame
the opposition for the bad mess you
have gotten yourself into"
T. M. Williams of Des Lacs, presi.
dent of the state grange, declared
himself most emphatically at the state

On July /, winter wheat gave pro-

Oats, barley, rye, corr and flax have

BEGINS
HERE NEXT WEEK

Wheat harvest will begin in Curry
County the first of next week. The
county has the finest grain in its his
tory and good weather is hoped for
during the next two weeks. Every
available header in the county will be
running and most any man who wants
to work can get a job on most any
farm in the county where there is
grain. There is now no question but
that there will be more than a mil
lion bushels of wheat raised in the
county and the yield per acre in many
instances will be more than thirty
bushels per acre and some few crops
have been estimated at over forty
bushels.

MENT At RANCHVALE

The Clovis Ladies' Band is now
practicing and making preparation to
play at the Ranchvale picnic on the
Fourth. This is the first engagement
Of the band since its reorganization
a few weeks ago. The band disorg-
anized about year ago when its
leader, Mr.. Musin Croft, went into
the service. At that time the band
had a number of important engage
ments to play and will no doubt be in
demand again soon as it is the only
organization of its kind in this entire
section of the country. The band is
an excellent advertisement for Clovis
and every encouragement possible
should be lent the movement to re-or-
ganize the musicians.

GERMAN SHIPS SUNK BY CREWS

London, June 21.-The German Of
iicers and sailors forming the COM
plements of the German ships intern
ed at Scapa Flow sank most of their
feet today. All the big ships, the bat
tleships and battle cruisers, excepting
the Baden, and numerous smaller
craft were sunk, while others went
ashore in sunken condition.
Eighteen destroyers were beached
by tugs; four are still aAoat, while
the remainder went under.
The wholesale sinking Of the Ger
man ships, which were surrendered
under the terms of the armistice, was
carefully arranged by officers and
crews. All explosives had been re-
moved and therefore the only means
cf destroying the fleet was by opening
the sea cocks The ships went down
slowly, with the German flag, which
the crews had hoisted, showing at the
mastheads.
The crews composed entirely of
Germans, under the terms Of the ar
mistice, which did not permit of Brit
sh guards aboard, took to the boats
when the vessels began to settle.
While making for the shore the boats
were challenged and called upon to
surrender. Some of them ignored the
summons and were fired upon, a few
casualties resulting.
The stroke apparently was an en-
tire surprise and the first news reach
ed London through a correspondent
who was informed by the farmers in
the neighborhood that they had seen
the German ships sinking with their
flags aloft.
The admiralty at first denied the
report but later confirmed it and is
sued an official statement. The Ger
man officers and crews have been
made prisoners.

Who really is Mistress of the Seas ?
America first crossed the Atlantic in

the old sailing ship, both as a CONNER

highest efficiency, and never was de-
