SAYSGRAGEDELONG Extension Worker Among Wom- en Reviews 4-H and Home- maker Activities in State Dickinson. N. Sept. 25.—(1— Participation in organized clubwork | has inereased rather than diminished the interest of clubwomen in the home, Miss Grace De Long. Fargo, chairman of the American Home De- | partment of the state federation of women’s clubs, told the federation convention here today. During the last year 70 different jclubs have studied some phase of | the work of her department. Miss De Long said. Of these five are in the | the third, eight in the fourth, 14 in (the fifth, nine in the sixth, three in the seventh and five in the eighth. All told, 381 different programs were | given on the subject by various clubs, Miss De Long's report showed. Six clubs gave cooperation to home | economic departments in their local | schools and 29 took part in home ex- tension work, cither by studying Homemakers club projects or by as- sisting in some form of 4-H club work. In addition to her work as general chairman of the department, Miss De Long said, the chairmen of the di- visions of home economics teachii home extension service and hat making also have been active and have contributed valuable work to the movement. Programs of work for the coming year in the three divisions of the fine arts department were outlined at a luncheon session today by Mrs. Har- @|riet Smith Puller, Dickinson, repre- senting the music depariment; M Mrs. Georgia L. Sturgeon, Edzeley, ; chairman of the fine arts department, was the principal speaker, talking for the arts department as a whole. Asserting that the art of living is the finest of all, Mrs. Sturgeon plead- ed for more interest in the finer things of life, saying that the real record which this generation will leave for posterity is the record of its | first district, ten in the second, 16 in | painting, music and literature in which its character is expressed. The department will have reached its goal. che said, when it has made art, and an appreciation of art an important factor in the life of everyone.

Pressland, living in Sherbrooke, Quebec, pedaled a bicycle 400 mils to Toronto and then took a train to Windsor to see his son in Detroit. He was refused entry by immigration of- ficials after he got to the border. “It is a little disheartening to make such 2 long journey only to mect with dis- appointment at the border,” was his only comment.

MUNDY IS ITS GENIUS Purchaser of Business Three Years Ago Operating on a Policy of Expansion The Lucas store tomorrow will be- gin celebrating its thirtieth anni- versary. There is a lot of Bismarck mercantile history wrapped up in that | period. To fittingly observe it, the | big store is putting on the | Sale of merchandise in the history of | the city. Thus the community par- | ticipates in the celebration both prac- tically and sentimentally. The community, in fact, is part of the big store. Thirty years of mer- chandising to its wants have estab- ; Ushed a strong bond between the | Lucas institution and the wide trad- | ing territory of which Bismarck is the hub. What Wanamaker's long has been to Philadelphia, the Lucas store is to Burleigh county. It is the com- | munity emporium because of its bus{- | Ness policy, its large stocks and its | trading appeal to the people. Though this is the thirtieth anni- | versary of the store, it is but three | years since the present management |has had the business. At that time A. W. Mundy bought the store, which | had been conducted by A. W. Li Since then E. O. Mundy | with the purchasing brot! ; Partner in the business. Purchase, three years | Mundy was manager of Mandy Former When the new owner of t! | ness took it over it already fel j the impulse of his business ability, for as manager he had had the op- portunity to direct it in channels of | service and develop it in line with merchandising progress. There has | been steady growth since then, every year adding to the efficiency, the | completeness and the popular of the store. ; Back of this development that has | carried the Lucas store up from its small beginnings 30 years ago, there | is the evidence of intelligent policy | toward the community of which it has . Mundy | has had the requisite experience and training in the buying and selling | fleld to know just how best to ap- ply that idea. He compares his store to a service station for the public, in fact. He believes in giving that serv- ice as an obligation, with dignity and efficiency. This policy has resulted in an ex- | pansion of the business from what it | was when bought three years ago by Mr. Mundy. Then there was no base- ment to the place. That has be- come one of the big departments of the store since opened with a wide variety of goods and with its popu- Jar lunch room. The lunch room, in fact, has become one of the chief ex- cellences of the store. It is known throughout the whole trading area of Bismarck for the fine quality of its home cooking and is the rallying point of a vast body of patrons in the busy hours of the day. Another addition to the business of three years ago is the beauty shop. That is filling a community need and is enjoying a@ large and fastidious The shoe department of the store Stocks have been enlarged and var- ieties of footwear multiplied in keep- | ing pace with the needs and tastes of | its patrons. Recently the store added the new annex, 30 by 50 feet in ground di- mensions, and one story in height. ‘This is giving relief to the pressure of ready-to-wear stocks cn the main floor and is providing space also for types of dry goods.

But Brent seemed in no way inclined to do 80. He merely nodded with interest and Bruite went on. “There wasn’t a prettier girl in these parts than Evangeline Cun- ningham,” he said. “Proud too, but sweet and friendly. Not lke the old man, who's always been a bit better'n anybody else. Sort of swollen up with ingrown pride. He couldn't conceive of Evangeline marrying anyone of less importance than a Cunningham. Her falling in love had nothing to do with it in Cyril's opinion. There wasn’t any room in his mind-for understand: ing a thing like that, “So she ran away. And why wouldn't she? Locked up in her room and forbidden to send word to her lover? You couldn't do things like that to a high-spirited girl in those days anymore than you can do it now.” Bruite paused for breath and Brent eaid quickly, sympathetic: | ally: “That's right; you can't.” “But she never left her husband and came back home to repent in luxury like so many girls do when they leave a wealthy family to marry a poor men. Evangeline stuck to her choice but I guess she'd have been better off if she'd had a little less of the old man’s stubborness herself, for I've heard that she had a hard time with Nellin.” Again Bruite paused, and he seemed to have lost some of his fire, Brent prompted him with a crafty question. “Perhaps,” he said, “she didn’t have any children to worry about.” Bruite rose to the bait. “She had one child,” he responded and hur- ried on to explain hcw he knew that much was certain. “I saw the letter she wrote her father, telling him about the little girl and ask- ing help for her. ‘The letter threw old Cunningham into a rage and I was sent for to bring something to quiet his nerves, He never men- tioned Evangeline’s name or the letter either, but the butler, who'd been with the family for years, had faved the torm up pieces. He told me about it—said he recognized the handwriting and wanted to know how the young lady was get- ting aleng.” eee side admitted. “Maybe he did and maybe Evangeline wrote again, but one thing is sure; she never came back.” “She might have come secretly,” Brent suggested but Bruite shook his head. “The servants would have known and I'd have. heard about it,” he said. “I was fond of her; they'd have let me know if she'd re- turned.” “What became of the child. Does anyone know .. “I never hea taking a new tact, “that if was the sort of man to make his wife unhappy he'd have been after [Cunningham for money.’ Bruite grunted. maybe he was, but {t's my guess that he had a kind of eccentric pride of his own. I knew him slightly, Never ught much of him but I wouldn't have said any- thing worse of him than that he was irresponsible.” Brent held out his cigaret case, “Smoke?” he invited. Bruite ac- cepted and Brent put the case back in his pocket before saying any- thing more. “Then the story ends there?” he inquired smooth!y. “So far es I know,” Bruite amended. “We haven't seen hide nor hair of the Nelline since she went away with him. That's along time ago, about 20 years, I should say. The old man’s had plenty of time to regret his harshness.” “So he has regretted it?” Bruite shook his head. “If he : He'vent to look for Charles Nellin atthe litle coffee house on the stree! his attorney, pays him a call now and then, and Dr. Ralston is in fairly regular attendance.

Yes, quite rapidly.” “I see,” Brent said again. “Per- haps he is making a belated search for his daughter.” “He'll die unrelenting, is my | opinion,” Bruite predicted. eee RENT closed his‘ note-book with & sudden finality. “Well,” he Take Active Interest in Economic Legislation ‘ AUTHOR OF RICH GIRL- POOR GIRL", ETC. | and the foresight that had prompt: ed him to leave his car out of sight from the drugstore. i It would be rather difficult, he fancied, for anyone to see the . slouchy newspaper man in the well: ' dressed Leonard Brent who looked for all the world @ bone fide man- about-town. After only one meet- ing, at any rate. He drove back to New York with @ feeling of immense satisfaction. His work pleased him well. A fow more questions put to Charles Nellin, an interest in the old ruin that would lead to finding a place for him where he would be out of the way—“and the rest will be easy,” Brent gloated. At his hotel he found a mersege from Carmel and he telephoned her to say briefly that he could not accept her dinner invitation. Car- mel hung up in @ rage. She knew that Brent was breaking off with her, but she was not #0 desperately in love with him that she let her- self be driven to reckless measures to hold him. oe e BRENT smiled and called up Helen immediately. This he did but rarely. It delighted the girl, whose voice came to him throbbing with her stirred-up emotions wiile she asked when he was coming up to school again. Brent replied that it would be soon, and showed an eagerness on his own account to see her that Helen found a trifle pustling but excecdingly thrilling. Brent cautioned himself not to show too sudden a change toward her and cut short their conversa- tion while Helen was still hoping that it had only begun. Then he went to look for Charles Nellin at the cheap little coffee house on the side street. He en- tered the place with the conviction that he would find his man. But he looked around in vain. Finally the waiter who had served him the night before saw him near the door and came quickly over to him. “Are you looking for the old fel- low, sir?” he asked. Brent nodded. “Hes he been about this evening?” he inquired. “No sir, he hasn't, He didn't come back.” Brent frowned. “I might have expected it,” he said lightly. “Peo- ple who need help have generally made tiemselves a0 by being im- possible to help,” he generalized loftily. “But you don’t happen to know what's of him?” he added more definitely. "I can’t say, sir.

It will make a great story.” “Now you be careful what you write,” Bruite cautioned him un- easily, “And perhaps you'd best not quote me directly,” he added, his apprehension that he had said too much growing upon him. “If the story is accepted, and I'm certain it will be,” Brent assured him, “I'll let you see @ copy of it before it is published.” “That's fine,” Bruite said with genuine’ relief. “When can I ex- pect it?” “Soon,” Brent promised, “unless it is turned down. In the event that you do not receive a copy you will know that happened. So long, and thanks very much.” Bent lett, congratulating himself upon his success. So far Nellin's story had been verified. “A damned good thing I took care SONATURALLY,” Brent agreed. has, no one eround here seems to|to make myself hard to recognise ~* “And I suppose Cunningham | know it.
