nature, but their organizations "re
"%. malning largely as they were origin
ally. This has been true- of the wom
t' en's clubs in North Dakota, and
isince the clubs have been urged by
their national president, Mrs.
L"
Josiah Evans Gowles, and other emi
nent authorities, to not disband, but
»^i,to keep up their club life, the club
women of this state decided to hold
their federation this year as, usual
The federation has chosen 'for its
slogan, "Loyalty and Simplicity," and
the meeting in October is going to be
devoid of any ostentation o,r formality,
the main object of the gathering being
to bring together the club women for
an exchange of ideas, and to further
." the interest in the war work of the
y, various organisations.
I xhe program is being rounded into
JL.
shape, and it promises to be extremely
interesting for every minute of the
I three days' sessions. Mrs. Cowles, the
5 national president, hopes to be pres
ent, and she will speak on "The
Privilege of Service." This will be
Mrs. Cowles' first visit to the state
as the national president, and the fed
eration women will look forward witjh
keen pleasure to meeting the distin
guished guest.
Mrs. Ross Canfield will bring a
message from the biennial meeting
held in May at Hot Springs, Ark. She
will tell of "Things Worth. While at
the Biennial," and since there were a
wealth of worth while things at tl^at
notable meeting, Mrs. Canfield's mes
sage undoubtedly will be one of the
inspiring features of the convention.
Throughout the session there will be
a series of four-minute speeches on
timely topics, all of these to center
around the patriotic theme. The Red
Cress and Junior .Red Cross, Liberty
Loan, food administration, employ
ment bureau association, state nurses
and registered nurses' association, all
will be represented on this program
of brief talks. Miss Minnie Jean
Nielson, formerly president of the
North Dakota federation, and at pres
ent state chairman for the Wom
en'sthe
Liberty Loan work in North Da
kota, will talk on the Liberty Loan.
Dr. Ladd of Fargo, or a representative
will tell of the work of the food ad
ministration, and Miss Julia Newton
of the extension department of the
Agricultural college will talk on
"States' Relation Service." Judge N.
C. Young of Fargo, director of the
Red Cross for North Dakota, will
speak on the Red Cross, and the other
speeches will be given by persons of
authority on the various subjects.
These, of course, are only a few of
the good things that are being planned
for^the federation pieetlng, the pro
gram for which is filled to overflow
ing with truly interesting features.

LINEN SUIT FROCK
FOR LATE SUMMER
WL
&
uwoeKwqop
At this time of year a woman of
forethought always wants to get some
new frock to '"finish out the season."
She wants something practical and
something which will "do to start the
next season^ For late summer she
will seldom choose thin voiles or or
gandies, but very often fine linen will
be the material.
No woman who might choose this
pretty suit frock would make a mis
take. It is conservative enough to be
suitable next season and smart
enough to be called a style frock. It
comes in white, blue, pink, and gray
linen. Crocheted buttons are used as
trimming and the season's m%st pop
ular finish, fringe. Is used to edge .the
saeh effects on the front and sides. A»
dainty effect is obtained by the hem
stitching at the top of the deep, hem
and on the "bell-shaped sleeves.

Record Breaking Knitter.
The gbobey branch of the
%Red
Cross, Scobey, Mont., ^claims one of
the fastest and best' knitters in the
land. This member, Mrs, Helleckson,
has knitted by hand, since 'last Jan
uary, 17 sweaters and 109 p'airs of
socks. When her household work
does not demand too much of her
time, she-fknits 8 iairs of socks per
week.
There are still "a number of refu
ree garments to be made before Sep
emper first, and workers are' asked
to call at Red Cross headquarters andi
take some of the- work home with
them-. There are 25 pinafores, 35
boys' suits, 18 helpless case shifts, 32
pairs of pajamas'and 10 petticpats
still to be tnade in order that the al
lotment will--be-complete. Women
who already had some of this
wor\lhaven't
to do will please call, at 'head
quarters and take home as ipuch as.
they can do." before September 1. The'
allotment was not completed last
month, and the chapter is particular
ly anxious that there be no unfinish
ed garments left over tfiis month.
-Abdut "Knitting.
That many millions of Red Cross
knitteris may kAow the'plans of the
Red Cross for. future knitting, George'
E. Scott, acting manager of the
American Red Cross, issued the fol
lowing statement,'according to a tel
egram from Washington, D. C., re
ceived at- Northern Division head
quarters:
"When the war industries board,
some tlme.ago, advised the .Red Cross
that, the future production of knit
ting yarn would be greatly1* reduced,
we Immediately commenced to
fpur-
chase all yarns suitable for'our knit
ting.. As tL result ye have today in"
stock or ,order 1,400,000 pound's of
yarn for distribution to our chapters,.
It is/hoped that we'.may obtain sopte
Additional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government uses. The expected
total, however, will be considerably

A I N E O
aoss McKAI
Lot^ these dresses over.
"Where Ton Bee
the Styles *lriV'
below the 10,000[000 pounds used
last year.
"While the total of yarn we can
secure is being determined, ,we are
Studying how to use our supply. to
produce "only garments which are
most essential. When a conclusion is
reached we will announce our full
program -of knitting.
"In addition to this stock of yarn
the Red Cross has ready for distribu
tion 1,600,000 sweaters, 134,000 muf
flers, 384,000 wVistlets, 228,000 hel
mets and 1,328,000 pairs of socks—a
total of 3,674,000 articles. ,We are
hopeful, therefore, that' these and
such additional garments as we shall
be able to make will enable us to
meet the more urgent requirements
of our men during the coming win
ter.
In this connection It will be of in
terest to 'the women' who have been
knitting to know that from Septem
ber 1, 1917, to. June 13, 1918. the
Red Croiis distributed 5,875,000 knit
ted garments to the army and navy
of the United States. During the
same period, 870,000. knitted articles
were sent to the Red Cross commis
sioners in France and Italy for dis
tribution to soldiers, sailors and civil
ians.
"At, the request of the war. indus
tries board, with which the Red'Cross
works in close co operation, we have
urged chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool" in the open mar
ket but to secure their materials
through our department of supplies."
