discloses that the dry weather and
winds of the past few days has made
great change in the fields which up

ers were unable to do any seeding;
there has been quite littleI wheat
sown during the last week, and if
conditions continue favorable seeding
will be general commencing today. In
dications are that the wheat acreage

more fax will be sown than was at

CHILD WELFARE WORK IN N. D..

North Dakota is one of nine states
that have this year been studying
child welfare conditions with the pur-
pose of revising their Legislation for
child protection, according to infor-
nation received from the United
States Department of Labor through
its Children's Bureau. These states
are Kentucky, Maryland, New York,
North Dakota, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Utah, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. The Governor of Kansas has
recently appointed new child well
fare commission to carry on the work
begun by the commission which re-
ported to the legislature last year.
The Children's Code Commission of
North Dakota was created by the leg
islature in 1921. 1t consists Of seven
members appointed by the Governor.
The commission is required to ascer-
tain the conditions affecting child life,
to study existing laws relating to chill
dren, to suggest standards for the adj
ministration of such laws, to make
known existing conditions, to suggest
improvements in such conditions, to
report findings and recommendations
to the Governor and legislature and
to propose new measures and amend
ments to existing laws to bring about
Ia more satisfactory situation as re-
CARDS child welfare.
Since the beginning of the child
welfare commission movement, in
1911, total Of twenty-five states,
and the District of Columbia, have
been studying and revising their laws
relating to children through official
child welfare or children's code COM
missions, Maryland is the latest state
to be included, with it's commission
appointed by the Governor in Janu-
airy, 1922. A partial report has been
made to the present session of the
Maryland legislature, including a rec
ommendation for the continuing of
VIC "O1hs 1uC tA&A~
ia commission, which during the past
year has been making thorough
study of children's needs in that state
recommended a series of twenty-eig
bills to the legislature land eighteen
of them have been enacted into law.
They include new child labor and
school attendance laws, and laws reg
ulating child-placing and child-caring
agencies, extending juvenile and do
mestic relations courts to all the coun
ties, and establishing county boards
of public welfare which will advise
with the circuit judges in appointing
special justices of the peace for juv-
emile cases, and will administer relief
for children in their own homes.
The object of the child welfare com
mission movemnt is not to secure abb
solute uniformity in the laws Of the
deficient, states, but to enable an in
dividual state to profit by the exper-
fence of others, and after learning the
exact conditions and needs within its
own borders to adapt such experience
to these conditions. The value of
| their work lies not only in the for
mulating of laws, but in the uniting
of all the agencies and people of the
state behind a program for making
the laws effective.

Sunday being a very fine day the
local Golf course was we'll covered by
members of the V. c.. Country Club,
who could not resist the impulse to
chase the little white ball around the
course, although the greens which
were damaged by washouts were not
as yet in shape. The spring freshets
have done a lot of damage to the
greens and roadways and it will take
considerable work to put the grounds
in shape, but if the weather condl-
lions remain favorable for the pres
ent week it is hoped that the seven
holes will be in condition by Saturday
so that those wishing exercise will be
able to do so by the end of this week.

The concert given in the Con-

the Ladies Aid, was one Of the
best musical entertainments ever
listened to in this city, and the
audience which packed the edifce

with the evenings entertainment.
Every number on the program
was one of unusual high charac-

for the excellent entertainment
given. Owing to our inability to

to give each member of the club
the mention she so richly deserv-

of her particular number; suffice
it to say that every number was
