of President Wilson with Premier
Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar' Law and

1t is expected that the sitting of the

One of the questions TO De discussed is
the official tongue to be used during
the sessions. 1t appears also that the
question of representation has not
been entirely solved, and this matter
will come up for further discussion.
1t is said tonight that the supposition
that the French tongue has been de-

DEVASTATION WORK.
IN MORRISON COUNTY PROVES OF
GREAT VALUE, REVIEW OF
AGENT SHOWS.

A review of the work done by Miss
Susan Hough, county home demonstra-
tion agent, since this county was organ
lied for that work year and half
ago, shows that much has been accom-
plished in that time.
Canning demonstrations occupied a
great part of Miss Hough's time last
fall and this fall, both IN the schools
and at farmers club meetings, the peo-
pie being shown the proper method of
canning vegetables and meats result
ing i'll saving food that otherwise per-
haps would have been wasted. Many
canning clubs were organized among the
boys and girls in the county and one
of these won fourth place in the con-
g.: 1T the state fair this fall
Nav. ~oad clubs have been organic
I'll 10y -&.... -Iough and the young boys
md girls were taught how to bake
cad. In many homes the children
:>rc now doing all the bread baking.
Miss Hough has been giving much at
tention to the hot lunch plan and GO
schools in the county have decided to
provide the pupils with hot lunches
this year. Wherever this has been tried
out it has proven very beneficial, re-
sulting in better attendance, a great
er interest in the school work and bet
ter health.
Other direct benefits from the en-
gaging Of home demonstration agent
were the bringing of specialists from
the university to give demonstrations
and lectures relating to prevention of
disease, first aid, the use of proper
foods, etc.; the demonstration Of labor
saving devices in the home, resulting in
many homes installing them.
