service to make an army, and in time of
war there is work for both. The qualifi-
cations of the cavalry are mobility and
celebrity and the entire system of training
has these objects In view. The cavalry
man, while horseman first, is also in
structed in dismounted service, for If there
is fighting to be done he must be pre-
pared to fight either way, just as emer,
gency may demand The cavalry drill,
which Is always imposing. includes move
ments by fours and platoons, in column
and in line, extended order movements,
mounted. and dsmounted and fire discb
pine These drills while not illustrating
real battle conditions, are of vital impor-
lance in the instruction of cavalrymen,
keeping men and horses in fit physical
condition.
The infantry represents the principal
strength Of the army. 1t does its fighting
on foot, always, and all OF the training is
with view to such condition. The sol
dier a-foot carries a rifle and a bayonet
and in time of war his instructions are com
pressed into this tabloid: ''Obey orders and
shoot straight There is nothing of the
spectacular about the infantry soldier, but
he has the habit of delivering the mes.

way of saying that he gets what he goes
after.

characterized by the same systematic or
ganization that obtains in other branches
OF the service. Every soldier and every
officer in battle carries first aid

ment-a system OF calisthenics known as
a musical drill. in which the soldier uses
his rifle instead of the gymnasium rod, the
different motions being made to the ac-
compartment Of music.
Shelter tent extended order, and wall
scaling drills illustrate the manner In
which troops in the field bivouac At call
TO arms" the troops move to attack, and a
wall ordinarily about twelve feet high, is
used as a barrier to show how soldiers in
action are expected in time Of action to
overcome obstacles without aid from the
outside.
The monkey drill consists Of three SOL
diers riding two horses at a gallop, two Of
the men being seated. the third standing
up with one foot on either horse.
Roman riding is one man riding two
horses abreast, with one foot on either
horse.
There are many other drills aside from
those enumerated herein. but the ones
mentioned are among those in most general
use and serve to illustrate to the un-
initiated some of the things that enter into
the routine work of soldier, even in times
of peace, for be it known that the soldier
is ever practicing for war. ...,
Field artillery, one of the most Important
adjuncts of warfare. consists of three regt-
ments of light artillery in which the car
riages are drawn by horses, the cannon
GERS being mounted on the chests and axle
seats; one regiment of horse artillery.
which differs from the light artillery by
having the cannoneers mounted individu-
/, ally on horses, and two regiments OF
mounted artillery in which the guns and
carriages are packed on mules and the
cannoneers march on foot. There are also
in reserve, seige or heavy field guns and
howitzers such as became familiar in the
South African war as Long Toms"

education is necessary to see that If an
enemys line ten miles long has approached

speed of forty miles an hour, could start
from camp, proceed to one end of the
enemy's line, pass along the entire front
and return to camp in little more than an
hour, bringing in full report as to condi-
tons. And here is another use: How
easy it would be for an airship to pass
over the enemy's camp, dropping explosives
enroute. remaining all the while at an alti-

are now devoting more attention than form
erly to the aviation idea and it is generally
believed that in the course of little time
arrangements will be perfected whereby the
airship will be as much of a factor of war
as the cannon or the rifle. For several
years the type of balloon known as the

tire orchestra programme. Tuesday
afternoon the orchestra was assisted
by the State Normal school music de-
partment, Dean Howard Elson Good
sell, conductor; Tuesday evening by
the Valley City Choral society, Mr.

feature of the Tuesday afternoon con-
cert was the selection composed by
Mr.. GoodselI, played by the Mime
apolis Symphony orchestra under Mr.
Goodsells direction. The State Nor
NAL School Ladies' Glee club, the
"Normalonians'' made the hit Of the
festival. The audience was good

The Grand-VaudeviIIe.

A very attractive programme has
been secured by the management of
the Grand theatre for the week of
June s.
Those who relish comedy singing
may expect something really clever
from the Broadway Comedy Four.
Possessed of good voices and with a
bunch Of jolly songs that save been
rehearsed to the point of perfection,
their act should be one of the best
on the bill.
From an engagement that took
them into the best music halls of
Sweden and Norway comes the Broth
ers Arnesen, Incompatible gymnasts,
whose act is marked by swiftness and
energy
Another act on the programme is
that of Rolton & La Tour, a classy
singing and musical Offering.
Gertrude Dean Forbes & Co. said
to be performers of ability have a
comedy dramatic playlet. Critics
elsewhere on the circuit have all agreed
in calling this act one of the best seen
in vaudeville
New comedy motion pictures will
as usual, open the show and there
will also be a new Illustrated song.

GROWING WATERMELoNs.

Watermelons are not as extensively
grown in the north as muskmelons
This is one of the few fruits that have
no valuable by-products, as Its juice
cannot be converted into vinegar nor
can it, like the canteloupe, be distill-
ed into brandy.
The seed may be sown directly into
the hills. About twenty seeds should
be pushed down, pointed end first, In
each hill. This sounds like lots Of
work. but it is quickly done. In the
north 1t is customary to SOW the seed
in boxes and transplant to the field
1t is well to use some quickly available
fertilizer SO that young plants can get
an early start The hills should be
about ten feet apart each way, but
some Of the smaller varieties may be
planted as close as six by eight.
The watermelon Is SO easily grown
that every home garden may raise q
supply. There Is d firm fIeshed var
iety known as the citron melon. which
Is valuable for preserving.

HENRIETTA cRosMAN IN HER BRILLIANT SUCCESS ANrrMA7R


virtuso,, knon as The Black PRYOR.
and consists of twenty-five mu-
sicians William Robinson has
charge Of large orchestra and the
stage is under the direction OF that
clever comedian, Billy King, who, with
Clarence, that old time favorite, lead
ten other noted colored comedians in
the fun making. The vaudeville nor
ton of the programme is unique and
probably the most expensive ever car
ried with a minstrel company.
Don't be deceived by the title of
Henrietta Crosman's latest success,
Anti Matrimony, and don't jump at
the conclusion that because Percy
MacKaye, the author of this play, has
written such serious masterpieces as
Joan of Arc, Mater and Sapho and
Phaon, that Anti Matrimony belongs
to the same category. True, Anti
Matrimony is a gem in it's way, but
it is of lighter texture. In writing this
play for Miss Crosman the author has
struck a vein of mirthful gaiety and
turned the shaft of lighthearted humor
on some of his own serious works.
In fact, when Henrietta Crossman APP
pears at the Fargo operahouse, next
Tuesday evening, June Z, in Anti-Ma
rimony we are to see one of the bright
est comedies that has been offered
on the American stage In years, and
one worthy of this delightful actress
who has long been recognized as our
leading comedienne. It would not be
supposed that Percy MacKaye has
turned out any thing positively friv-
olous, and while the play is rich in
hearty fun and humorous incident, it
bears message of great interest to
modern humanity. Between the out
bursts of laughter which thickly dot
the action OF the play there will be
found a plea for healthful living and
common sense thinking.
AS for Miss Crosman's acting in
the principal role, she has never APP
lpeared to better advantage. In no
part she has had in recent years has
she more fully demonstrated the fact
that she is without a peer in the
realms of exquisite comedy. Though
Miss Crosman has not been seen here
I'm some years, local playgoers have
not forgotten her fascinating charm,
and everyone will want to see her in
her newest play, in which she has
role entirely different from any in
which she has heretofore appeared.

author of A Woman's Way, handles
the tale of a very true road in life
delicately, logically and truthfully.
The pay tells the story of rich
young society woman who loves, fights
and wins back her husband after they
have drifted apart because of too much
money and too few cares. He imag-
ines that he has fallen in love with
another woman-a rich and fascinat-
ing widow. While automobiling to-
gether they had met with an accident,
and the papers at the opening of the
play are full of the scandal concern
ing the young millionaire and his fair
companion. Everyone, including the
families of the young wife and her
husband expect a divorce The hus-
band himself expects it because he
does not believe that his wife, Marion
Stanton, (Miss .George) will continue
in the same house after such a scan
dial. Marion, however, is not the con-
ventional, ordinary wife-she- is a
young woman OF courage, indepen-
dence and humor, She loves her hus-
band and she believes that at heart he
loves her His entanglement with the
rich widow she realizes is merely a
passing infatuation born of loneliness.
When her parents come to take her
away from the house of her husband
she boldly confronts all and announces
her doctrine of common sense. She is
not, she declares, the old conventional
wronged wife-she is an independent
thinking being-a woman of today
who will settle affairs that con-
Germs her in her own way. Therefore,
to the amazement and CONSERVATION
of her husband and his family, she in
vites Mrs. Blakemore, the other wo-
man, to her house.
The second and third acts deal
with what happens when Mrs. Blake
more, arrives to meet not only Marion
and her husband but all the members
of the two families. The complications
which ensue are rich with comedy
that never degenerates into farce.
In the end, as she expected Marion
completely reawakens the love of her
husband, and the curtain comes down
with her happiness assured.
