STEVENS North Dakota Agricultural College Our snowstorm May 20 was follow- jed by two cr three days with cold nights, a warm wave with 90 degrees May 26 and rain. May 21 and 22 found the same birds here which were present before the storm. Near- ly all of the few Harris and white- throated sparrows which the writer had banded May 18 and 19 were tak- en May 21 and 22, but were nifssing May 23 and thereafter. A warm wave with a strong south wind that morn- ing had sent them on northward. The least flycatchers, which had been common just before the storm, were not observed in any numbers immediately afterward but were com- mon again May 25. It seems that a large group of these birds pass through about the middle of May and are followed a week or so later by our resident birds. The writer has always felt doubtful of the identity of the first group because there are several very similar species of small fly- catchers, and because the first group is so silent and the second so noisy. A considerable warbler wave oc- curred May 24. The writer noted Tennessee and blackpoll warblers, yellow throat, also red-eyed vireo, hummingbitd, rose-breasted grosbeak and common kingbird. The Tennes- See warblers were especially abundant and two or three would be heard sing- grove or along tree-lined streets. The next day very few remained. Only one female grosbeak was seen.

A few had appeared about ithe middle of the month and the birds were noted at Fargo May 15, Valley City May 17, Minot May 23. The common kingbird was seen at Minot and Arnegard May 17, James- town May 19, Fargo and Tower City May 24. Mouse wrens have finally resumed their usual status but have been exceptionally late.

We Telegraph Flowers Capital Commercial College 314% Main Ave. Phone 121 Bismarck, North Dakota A Practical Commercial Course is very valuable. Hundreds and hundreds of our former students have been employed during the past two years of “depression.” None have lost their positions. Many have received an increase of salary. They are living betfer than ever before as they can buy things cheaper and save more money. There is nothing as good as & Practical Commercial Education to Provide for the future, to insure adequate living, to overcome ad- versity. A Secretarial Course is proving more valuable every year. There is a greater demand for a good, well educated secretary than ever before. This course leads to some wonderful positions, They are employed by banks, law offices, wholesale houses, state offices, county offices, insurance offices, banks, and by wealthy and in- fluential men. In looking over our list of our former students we find they have done remarkably well. For in- stance, in banks. We find one of our former students employed in the largest bank in New York City, @ second in the largest bank in Chicago, and a third in the largest bank in Los Angeles, and a fourth in the largest bank in San Fran- cisco, Then, more than a dozen are employed in the Bank of North Dakota. Others are employed in the First National Bank of Bis- marck, the Dakota National Bank and Trust company of Bistharck, the First National Bank of Man- dan, and the First National Bank of Dickinson and many other banks. This is only to show where our students go. We have one of the finest equip- ped secretarial schools in the Northwest. Everything new, bright, and clean.

We believe this accounts for their wonderful suc- cess; for their being employed in all the state offices, by the U. 8S. government, in law offices, and by Private concerns.
