Convention veterans who had attended nearly all of the grand lodge meetings said that they could not remember ever having been featsted as elabor ately as in Grand Forks. A number of short speeches were given by visiting delegates as well as by members of the local lodge, and two series of historical and patriotic tableaux were exhibited to the great delight of every one present. A mus ical program was also rendered, and the evening closed with a dance. Session Resumed. This morning at 9 o'clock the ses sion was resumed, and during the forenoon a number of important sub Jepts were discussed by the delegates. Special attention was paid to sugges tions aiming at the introduction of methods whereby the Daughters of Norway may Increase the member ship. The growth to date has been exceedingly encouraging, and the or der has been gradually expanding from a very Bmall beginning. The in tention of the delegates is to effect some kind of active co-operation with all Daughters of Norway organizations throughout the country, there being several independent lodges which work with the same end in view as the larger body, but without direct affiliation with the latter- Yesterday direct steps were taken toward co-op eratlon with the Daughters of Nor way on the Pacific coast, and the scat tered lodges in the Atlantic states, al though not represented here, will also be approached in an attempt to "get together." Officers Named. This.afternoon the superior officers were elected, and shortly afterward the convention adjourned, having agreed to meet again in Chicago two years from now. It is thought that the total membership of the order may be increased to more than 6,000 by the time the grand lodge meets the next time, and each lodge has pledged itself to do its utmost in or der to Insure growth of its member ship. Yesterday afternoon. Deacon Ludvlg Waale of Chrlstlania delivered a short address to the convention and spoke about the work being carried out In Norway for the purpose of establish ing a home for the old and destitute people of the Flnmarken in the northern part of the country.

Breckenridge, Minn., June 23.—The hearing of the committees from the states of North Dakota, South Da kota and Minnesota to perfect a drainage district here opened this afternoon, everything pointing fav orably to the organization. The big issue before the gathering was whether this new district to be known as the "Wilkin county dis' trict" should join with the Lake Traverse district launched at the Wheaton meeting two weeks ago. Some prominent Minnesota men favor a separate- district. The war department wires it has thrown down Lake Traverse from a navigation standpoint, but looks upon flood control and drainage as feasi ble, which lent encouragement to the meeting. Engineer James A. Hard of North Dakota declared the matter of navigation is always regarded fictitious.

SATURDAY, JUNE 83, 1917. LOCAL FUNDS NOW AROUND $14#)0 MARK Registration Hour This Af ternoon Proves to be Great Success. The local Red Cross, war fund con tinues to climb steadily, and today there is about $14,000 in the hands of the committee. This is exclusive of the reports of several of the solicit ing committees which have not turn ed in any accounts, so far today, and this amount, of course does not in clude the county districts, reports from which will likely not be in un til some time during the coming week. Registration Hour. "Registration" hour this afternoon which had. been set" for 3 o'clock brought a good many visitors to the various stations, where women solici tors were placM, with the result that that cash boxes became pretty well filled, and indications are that by to night, a big majority of the people of thiB city will have contributed their share to helping along the war time work of the Red Cross. The commit tees of men who have been "on the job" all week are continuing their work, and their enthusiasm and ener gy, coupled with that of the new. so liciting committees of women which have been serving slnae yesterday morning, are the chief reasons for the wholesome growth of the fund during these last few days. Country Districts. Country districts, and the towns of the county have been doing their share toward boosting the amount, that is expected of Grand Forks county, and according to reports sent to A. P. Clifford, chairman of the campaign committee, nearly all of them will send in subscrlptionb, though this will not be done until the early part of next week. The campaign will be closed on Monday, which Is to be the big day, and though Grand Forks is making a good showing, a good share of the fund that has already been contribut ed represents the subscriptions of a comparatively small number of citi zens, who launched the campaign with big donations, and it is hoped that by Monday night, every person, who has not already joined the ranks of Red Cross backers, will get In line. All should Give. Everybody should give. Out of the nearly twelve hundred men of this city who have registered, many will probably be called to the fighting across the water, and there is hardly a family in the city which does not have an Interest—a very personal interest in some one soldier at least. These men must be assured when they leave for the front that the people at home will take care of him, should he get wounded, and that they will go farther, and see that his dependants are taken care of, if need be. The one big way to feel assured that every one of these men will be promptly given a doctor, nurse and bandage," when the need comes, is to give Now to the Red Cross war fund.
