DAY FOR The MOTHERS
Mothers of the Boys Of Y. M. c. A.
Visited the Youths Depart
nent and Saw Glasses.

Yesterday was mothers day at the
boys department Of the Fargo Y. NJ.
c. A. A large number of the parents
of the boys gathering at the associa-
ton after school and watched the lads
go through their gymnastic work
The little fellows had arranged a
special programme on the gym floor
and the proud parents were permitted
to see the lads to their most intricate
and difficult stunts. The programme
closed with an athletic meet and the
races were most interesting.
The boys are now closing up their
athletic meets for the fall season. The
"A" intermediates will finish their
work tomorrow evening and will en-
JOY banquet at the conclusion Of the
gymnastic events. The other classes
will finish the work this week, all of
which will be followed by a banquet,

INCREASE in CLEO Use
National Dairy Union Claims That
Only Per Cent of Cleo Used Is
Taxed 10 Per Cent.

The production OF oleomargarine in
creased from 92,282,815 pounds in 1903
to 139.755,4 26 pounds in 1910 or this
latter amount ballots pounds were
taxed at 10 cents per pound, says a
recent bulletin issued by the National
Dairy union. 1t will thus be noted
that over 81 per cent of all the oleo-
margarine manufactured during the
last fiscal year was taxed at only
II cent per pound. These figures
are issued by the federal internal
revenue commissioner and are anthem
tic. They clearly demonstrate the fact
that the oleomargarine business is not
working under such a burden as many
people think. People have heard so
much about the 10 cent tax on arti-
ficially colored oleomargarine that

sale is being pushed hard, and unless
the sale this week runs up very high
the Fargo stamp market will record
few small sales.
Reports from headquarters of the
American Red Cross given out today
indicate that at the beginning of the
last week of the sale of Christmas
seals, nearly 35,OOO,O0O have been sold
and that the prospects are bright for
a sale of more than 5O0OO,000.
The actual number of seals sold to
date is nearly $4,000, 900 in excess of
the entire number sold in 1909 and is
already nearly three times the sale of
1908. IF the sale this week keeps up
at the same rate as since Dec. /. the
national authorities estimate that over
100000 will be added to the tubercu-
losis funds in all parts of the country.
This will be double the amount realized
last year.
Engaged in this campaign for selling
Red Cross seals is an army of 100, 900,
including men, women and children of
every rank and station. Agents have
been appointed in one or more places
In every state except Idaho and Mon
tana. Among the groups and institu-
tions which are assisting in the move
ment are the anti-tuberculosis So
cieties, Red Cross chapters. women's
clubs, labor unions, lodges schools.
banks, theatres, department stores.
hospitals and innumerable other
agencies. Thousands of dollars worth
of advertising is being donated to the
campaign, and many millions of cin;u-
lars are being distributed to remind
people to buy Red Cross seals.

PROGRAMME AT
YOUTHS MEETING
BOYS AND GIRLS OF NORTH DA-
KoTA RURAL SCHOOLS HAVE
INTERESTING TIME TODAY
CORN scoRINe-eIRLs TO MAKE
APRONS DURING THE WEEK.

The boys and girls institute at the
A. c. was formally begun today and
most interesting programme was
given the youngsters. The girls were
given some work in the domestic SCI
ence department and the boys were al
lowed to gain some practical knowledge
in corn work
Last evening the youths found re-
creation in something entirely new.
The boys had never dreamed Of play
ing such a thing as baseball indoors
and their American boyhood instincts
were aroused to the highest pitch when
they were allowed TO play indoor base
ball. The game was highly exciting,
and to the spectators the contest was
better than any stage comedy The
girls were allowed similar exercise in
the young ladies' gymnasium.
This morning at the first period Pro-
fessor Churchill gave some corn
demonstrations to the lads and
showed them how to score the fruit
Of the Indian maize. He indicated the
fine points of the ear OF corn, so that
the lads will be allowed to become
fairly well versed in the excellencies
Of corn grains and the ear. At this
period Mrs. Campbell gave the young
ladies some practical instruction in the
domestic science department Every
girl will be expected to complete the
making of an apron during her weeks
stay at the A. c., which she may give
as a Christmas present to some of her
friends.
At the second period this morning
the boys and girls came together again.
President Worst gave them practical
talk along the lines of agriculture
which was most interesting.
In the early part of the afternoon
Professor Waldron entertained the WIS.,
itors in a most beneficial manner He
gave a number of practical demonstra-
lions in grating and budding which
will prove useful to the farmer boys
and girls in their cultivation of fruit
trees.
In the later part Of this afternoon
Doctor Putnam. musical director Of the
A. c., provided the rural school chill
dren with some splendid diversions.
The entire A. c. orchestra was assem-
bled and the children were permitted
to listen to the strains of music which
will continue to ring in their ears for
some time TO come, as many of them
had never before had the opportunity
to listen to a full orchestral organiza-
ton.

COMMONS CLUB Meet
New Organization of the City Held
First Meeting Last Night at
the Gardner Hotel.

The Commons club, the new organi-
cation Of men in the city of Fargo,
held its first meeting last evening at
the Gardner hotel. Dinner was served
at o'clock and this was followed by
a discussion regarding the future pros
poets of the organization.
About twenty members gathered at
the dinner last evening, and with so
large a number of the members pres
ent the future of the club is practically
assured. 1t was decided that the club
will discuss topics that shall present
themselves OF current interest, and it
is probable that at the next meeting
Of the organization Current Legisla-
ton or some civic topic will be dis
cussed by the members.

CHRISTMAS STAMPS - SEALS

THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

Fargo is running behind fits mark
last year in the sale of the Red Cross
stamps. Only one business house has
made request for more stamps and
the indications are that the Fargo sale
will be disappointing.
Just why the citizens of Fargo are
NOT purchasing the Red Cross stamps
with their customary zeal and eager
ness is not known. but it is an evident
fact that if the residents Of the city
are seriously contemplating the pur-
