We still think there will be a reduction before fall, but with wheat over the $3 mark and common labor $3.50 being asked, and in many instances paid per day, and live hogs at $15 to $17 per hundred pounds, live weight, we may be wrong when we advise buying in moderation.

The school is non-sectarian and offers a three-year course in the- oretical and practical work in the va- rious branches of hospital work. The classes are conducted from Septem- ber until June, with the exception of Christmas en er vacation peri- ods, During. maining months only practical work is done and | hours off duty are-devoted to study and recreation. : The nurses’ headquarters are most attractive and homelike. A piano and Victrola are at their disposal, which furnish considerable amuse- ment. The recreation period during the summer months is spent chiefly in playing tennis on the spacious double courts.

SHOE DEPARTMENT Has Mrs. M. C, Budlong, secretary of the North Dakota library commission and vice chairman of the library and literary extension bureau of the Na- tional kederation of Women's clubs, is receiving daily requests for ad- vice as to the best manner of making up scrap books to be furnished the soldier boys in the trenches and os- pital patients in the war zone. The task of superintending this work in North Dakota has been assigned to Mrs, Budlong by the national chair- man, and there has been a splendid response from this state since this opportunity to “do a bit” first was explained in the press. What Books Should Be. “Scrap books for soldiers,” said Mrs. Budlong today, “should be ligat in weight, inexpensive in construc- tion and numerous in qudntity. They should be easy to handle, so cheap that they may be thrown away when sanitation demands, and in quanti- ties sufficient to supply thousands of men and to enable them to have a change of reading every day if de sired. For these reasons, no stiff cov- ers should be used, and no expensive materials, Articles cut from newspa- pers can ibe pasted on wrapping pa- per or onto the leaves of catalogs, wich are usually thrown away. It is better to divide the catalog into many sections, limiting the scrap books to less than a dozen pages, so that they can be easily rolled. Contents Should Be Cheerful. “The contents of the scrap books should ibe cheerful, optimistic, patri- Mrs. Budlong Tells *: How to Make Sketch Books for Soldiers No depressing articles should Jokes. cut from the newspape and s are the best pos- if cartoons and otic. be permitted. columns of caily monthly period sible material, and other illustrations are interspersed, very attractive booklets may be made, It is a gcod plan to have some of the booklets co! t of poems alone, others of jokes alone, and some of the combination of the two.

May Follow Own Designs. “Short stories are acceptable if carefully selected. They may be bound together with their illustra- tions between covers of wrapping pa- er, and can tbe fastened in with eye- lets, pasted wit a little muciiage at the back edges, or sewed in place. Many different ways will occur to in- genious workers for arranging these materials. The essentials are that they be light in weight, numerous in quantity and: inexpensive.” Mail to Mrs. Budiong. This movement was‘started by the literature and library ‘committee of the General Federation of Women's clubs, but all women, whether club members or not, and all children, are urged to clip and prepare as much of this material as possible before the sterner duties of the war are laid upon them, All such material pre- pared in worth Dakota will be sent to the proper authorities of forward- ed to Mrs. Minnie C.
