Mrs. Kerr Gives
Vivid Account of
Life in Far East

As director of the Hilltop orphan
age in Sidon, Lebanon, in Syria, Mrs
Alma B. Kerr writes interestingly of
her work, and Of some of the age old
cities, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem, in
letter just received by Mrs. Alfred
Zuger. Mrs. Kerr is known to many
Bismarck residents, having taught in
the county and visited in the city, as
we'll as to people throughout the
state. She went to her work in the
Far East about a year ago. Her let

Federation Meet
Report Given
By Mrs. Zuger

Mrs. Alfred Zuger, only delegate
from Bismarck at the National Fed
Grafton meeting at Los Angeles, gave
report of the convention at the
meeting yesterday of the Current
Events club. In her comprehensive
talk, Mrs. Zuger described the splen-
did hospitality of the California
clubs, committees Of which had been
preparing for the convention for
year.
She gave detailed account of the
various committee reports, and
talks given by such prominent wo-
men as Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter,
Princess Cantacuzene, Mrs. Sherman,
president of the Federation, Mrs.
Robert J. Burdette, and Mrs. Thomas
Winter, former president of the Fed
Grafton.
The majority of the North Dakota
delegation went to Hollywood to 60
through the studios, Mrs. Zuger
said, which she described as a place
of beautiful homes, with nothing
"breath taking or wild about the
place." The motion picture actress
es should be judged for their artis-
tic merits alone, Mrs. Zuger thinks.
About fifty of the stars Of the pro-
fession addressed the women during
their sessions, including Lois Will
son, Mrs. Wallace Reid, Charles Ray
and others.
The installation of the new Off
GERS made brilliant scene, subdued
with the emotion of parting with so
great leader as Mrs. Winter.
Among some of the resolutions
adopted by the convention were
those for the abolition Of bad liter
ature, womans congress for peace,
demand for prohibition enforc-
ment, urging women to show their ap-
prevail Of clean journalism by buy.
ing only the kind of newspaper they
would wish to read in their home
and the approval of bible reading in
the schools, and host of others.
The formation of junior auxil-
larry department was advocated by
Mrs. Sherman, the purpose being to
train girls to better understand the
best things in life, and prepare them
for the larger work which is theirs
when they become women.

PROPER CURING WORTH
$40 ON TON TO ALFALFA

Method and speed make a lot of
difference in the value of alfalfa hay
being harvested. If it is put up
right. it is the most valuable feed
there is, the leaves being equal in
feeding value to bran, but if not
handled right and the leaves shatter
off and the color fades and bleaches,
it is worth comparatively little.
Bale your alfalfa and send it to
market and you quickly get the
rating hat means a difference of as
much as $40 a ton in alfalfa hay
from the method of harvesting you
employ.
The market wants that green
color that denotes just enough wilt
ing without bleaching before the
hay went into the NOW or the bale.
1t also wants all the leaves on it,
which means a concentration of
well managed machinery methods
that permits the proper and timely
handling of every operation.
The side-delivery rake and the
hay loader usually follow the NOW
er, the climate being the deciding
factor as to length of time between
each operation. Big areas are
speeded up by hooking two hay
leaders behind each tractor and
hooking up fiocks of side-delivery
rakes and mowers behind single
tractors. When one realizes that
the difference between right meth
DDS of harvesting and careless out
nf-dnfa nnfhadc rnAa-, tLa lsef1r
ence of $500 to $500 on a 20
acre field of alfalfa. more attention
will be given the alfalfa hay har-
vest. Get all the leaves and get
them bright green.
