JUNIOR LEAGUE CONVENTION
 IN ATLANTA

In an article which appeared on Wednesday in The Atlanta Georgian, telling of the meeting of the national convention of the Junior League of America. in that city, the following appears:
 Rarely has Atlanta been privileged To act as hostess to so large and representative a gathering of social leaders of America as that which as- sembies in Atlanta this week for the annual conference of the Junior League of America.
 The league was first organized bv the Debutante club in New York so- clety As the scope of its work be- came known and the zeal of the new ly organized band of social workers became more and more impressed upon the minds of social America, other cities clamored for similar or ganszations until the increasing groups in different cities felt the need of federation to further the high purpose to which the league stood committed.
 Each league is permitted to ex- tend its membership each season to the maximum of twenty young wom- ent of society who by their fitness for public service as well as social prominence are deemed an acquisi- tion to the local band of workers Sometimes the number of debutantes and other social figures voted into membership does not reach the limit of twenty, which bears out the ex- treme compliment implied by an in- Nitation to become a Junior League girl.
 number of the members of the younger society set of Birmingham have gone to Atlanta to attend this convention.

loans have been made by the Nestos
administration in six months as by

months. The records of the farm loan
department disclose the following

Savings and Losses on Bonds

When the Nestos administration
took charge Of our state government,
it was found that the Townley adj
ministration with Lemke as chief
manipulation had offered North Da-
kota bonds at such ridiculous prices
as to induce a certain bond house to
contract to buy practically all Of the
bonds that North Dakota had a right
to sell. The deal made it look as tho
the Townley officials had been given
the job Of selling them on commits
sion regardless Of what price the
bonds would bring. The Nestos adj
ministration undertook to force a
change in that contract. AS result
Of that there has now been saved to
