BUNDLE DAY SHOWS
GENEROUS SPIRIT

Bundle Day which was held on Tues
day for the benefit of the Near East
Relief was a great success Judging
from the number of bundles brought
by the students which over filled box
of ample dimensions.
1t was a day of opportunity-a
chance to make bundle for the Near
East orphans-and the bigger your
heart the bigger the bundle.
We have been told again and again
of the indescribable conditions which
prevail in the Near East today. We
have seen pictures of refugees sitting
around, huddled up against the wall
women with dull, sad faces and pale
unhappy children.
America has won the admiration
and gratitude of the Near East be-
cause hundreds Of thousands Of peo-
pie living today would have persisted
had it not been for American relief.
1t is to be hoped there will be an
other Bundle Day in order to benefit
the needy ones as we'll as ourselves by
giving.
"Give the needy shelter and bread:
Giving is living" the angel said,
"And must :, 1 be giving again-and
My selfish peevish question rang,
"No," said the angel, piercing me
through,
"Just give till the Master stops giving
to you.' A. H.

Argonne post Of the American Legion
at St. Paul, MIMI, was attending
school in the Kansas university when
his money ran out. A letter forwarded
to him from his native state told
Of the work of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education in Minneapolis.
Through disability incident to his
service as flyer, he was entitled to
the Federal educational aid. Without
sufficient funds to make the long trip,
nevertheless he set out to appear be-
fore the board.
Three days in q box car, a coal
gondola and the tenders Of three
passenger trains conveyed him to his
destination. Several fast changes Of
cars, unusual maneuvers and debates
with trainmen were necessary, but
the aviator came through smiling. One
mail clerk proved friendly, but that
train was bound for Chicago. After
two more trials he found bunk on
some coal and woke up the next
morning in the St. Paul yards.
Placing his case before the board.
he was classed "Section One" en-
titling him to tuition, supplies and
training pay until he completes his
course.

ed by informal dancing.
The music furnished by the Beach
am Mcfarland orchestra was mucf
enjoyed by all. Although it was such
a yery warm evening the heat did not
entirely suppress the energy of the
dancers and the dancing went merrily
on. The delicious, cooling frappe
which was served in the library during
the evening was much appreciated.
The gymnasium was very effectively
and tastefully decorated IN pink and
green with Japanese lanterns here and
there. The effect was very pretty and

MAKING DRIVEF0R
NEAR EAST RELIEF

This week has been observed
throughout the country and especially
in North Dakota as Bundle Week"
Interpreted more fully the drive
means the gathering of bundles of
clothing which is in good condition for
immediate shipment to the destitute
Armenians and other peoples who
have and are now suffering untold
indignities and hardships as the aft
ermath of the World War.
In order that students of the State
Normal School could contribute to so
worthy cause from their wardrobes
plans were made last week for bundle
day. Mrs. Patton and Esther Mala-
kowski, president of the Student Coun-
Gil, arranged program which was
given last Saturday during the chapel
period. The committee selected Lo-
rene Heston, Ruth Hurlbut, and
Laura Loucks to present the claims
Of needy peoples beyond the Atlantic.
By means of large map suitably
displayed Miss Heston showed what
and where the Near East is. In gen.
eral it lies to the east end Of the Med
iterrenean Sea. Miss Heston made
some rather forceful contrasts in her
short talk concerning the deplorable
conditions which exist in that perse-
cuted land.
Miss Ruth Hurlbut read two short
selections written by those who have
been there and, indeed, have exper-
fenced something of the horrors which
prevail.
The closing talk was made by Laura
Loucks who explained in some detail
the general plan for relief and in more
detail the local plans for gathering
suitable articles from students who
can make some sacrifice in giving up
certain pieces of clothing. Tuesday
was the day named for bringing the
bundles. A large number of students
and faculty responded to the call.

HOW LEGION MEN ar LAND
Should First Make Personal In
spectioh Of District.

In response to many inquiries from
ex-service men in the Middle West re-
garding government land grants, Irwin
!. Femrite, secretary of ArgOnne post
of the American Legion in Dos Moines,
Ia, has made on investigation of the
situation.
persons desiring to make homestead
entries" said Mr.. Femrite, SHOULD
first fully inform themselves as to the
character and quality Of lands they
desire to enter and should in no case
apply to enter until they have ex-
auined each legal subdivision for
which they make application. Salts
factory information concerning the
lands may be obtained from personal
visit to the district in which one
wishes to take out land.
Each applicant is required to swear
that he is well acquainted with the
character of the land described In
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim Is to make q
IAN ex-service man is required to
establish residence on the land In
volved after his entry Is allowed, un-
less an extension Of time Is granted
on account Of sickness, climatic
reasons or similar excuses. Credit Is
given for service in the Army, Navy
or Marines, providing the applicant
has had eighteen months Of service. If
such Is the case, the applicant is re-
Quired to live on the land only seven
months. If he obtains SO much credit
for military service that there Is re-
quired only one years residence. he
must prove only such amount or
cultivation as will prove his good faith
as homestead claimant If his
credit for service requires more than
one years residence, he must show
cultivation to the extent of one-six-
teenth Of the area Of the land be-
ginning with the second year. Regard
less Of credit for service, all applf-
cants must prove that there Is
habitable house on the land.
'"There Is only one portion Of the
country where land may be obtained
without the requirement Of home
stead. At Sentinel, Ariz., there are
10000 acres open, for which no home
stead is required, but which necessi-
tates the payment Of seventy-five
dollars for three hundred and twenty
acres and an expenditure Of one
dollar per acre for Improvement. This
Is arid land which may be used for
cotton raising If irrigated. When
irrigated, it sells for from two to
three hundred dollars an acre. It
Is estimated that the cost Of irriga-
ton on three hundred and twenty
acres is about $4,000.
Approximately 132,OOO0OO acres Of
land are open, including every state
west of the Mississippi river except
Iowa and Texas. The first thing to
do is to decide on the state. Then,
get the location of the land offices In
that state. All blank forms of affida-
Wits and other papers may be obtained
for the district Office in which the
land lies.
"Taking out homestead Is not q
speculative proposition. If the appli-
cant can afford to establish himself
for the. period required under the
homestead laws. taking advantage of
the credit allowed him for service in
the World war, he will be we'll repaid
after a few years."
