WIDOW TAKES
SIXTEEN WARDS
NORTH DAKOTA WOMAN DE.
VOTING LIFE TO NOBLE PuR.
POSE OF RAISING HOMELESS
cHILoREN-oNE GREAT HAPPY
MISUNDERSTANDING HOME.

There is a woman in North Dakota
who can well be called one Of Gods
noblewomen. The latest issue of The
North Dakota Chlldren's Home Find
er publishes the picture on It's front
page Of the beautiful large home
almost a mansion-of this woman and
the following story.
Our front shows the hand
some residence of a well-to-do widow
who during the past five years has
taken fifteen children from the Chill
dren's home into her fanily-and for
that matter has them now, with the
exception Of a young woman recently
married.
In addition to these, we also placed
with her one boy-not a ward of the
society, but who is brother to a pair
Of twin girls who were our wards;
so that this family is preserved.
She also has among them two 9TH
err families of three children each.
Recently she has taken from other
parties a baby, and some of her boys
think they should have two more
boys. She expects to move them on
to one of her farms during the vaca-
ton period, but keeps them in school
in the city at other seasons.
The children are nearly all under
Is years Of age. We hope soon to
have a group portrait of the sixteen
to present to our readers. We are
sure they will be interested, for KEEL
logg, the corn flake manufacturer of
Battle Greek, is the only man we
know Of in the United States who
has taken more children to raise than
this big hearted woman.
She took six children into her home
for periods Of from six months to
three years each, back in Michigan,
before taking any of these. You
wouldn't take some of the needy chill
dren she has sheltered on any con-
sideration; but she is trying to save
and educate them, and ut them for
good citizenship.

FORMER MAYOR
TO MAKE REPORT
FORMER MAYOR LOWELL WILL
SUBMIT REPORT THIS AFTER.
NOON AT S O'CLOCK TO AUDI
ToRlUM COMMITTEE AT CON-
MERcIAL CLUB ON AUDITORIUM

Former Mayor Lowell will submit his
report in full this afternoon at 5 o'clock
to the auditorium committee of the
commercial club concerning his two
trips Of inspection to Sioux City and
Bismarck regarding the legality of the
erection Of a municipal auditorium in
Fargo.
The former a was seen today
at his new offices above the HerbsL
store on Broadway by a Forum repre-
sentative and stated that while his
report was not ready for publication in.
time to appear in The Forum before
going to press today, he felt that the
construction of an auditorium on such
a plan as had been proposed would not
be practicable under the statutes OF
the state.
II do not think the construction of
a municipal auditorium on the plan
that has been projected would be COM
patable with the requirements of the
state statutes" said Mr.. Lowell to The
Forum representative. II regret / have
not finished my report sufficiently to
give it in full for this afternoons pub
LEGATION, but in substance that is what
it will be when it is made this after
noon to the auditorium committee
It is expected there will be called q
mass meeting next Monday night at
the commercial club, though that may
probably be dependent on the action of
the auditorium committee this after
noon after hearing the report of Mr..
Lowell. The former mayor was author
lied by the club to go to Sioux City
and to Bismarck to inspect the two
auditoriums there and an account Of
his visits to both of these cities will
be embodied in his report this after
noon.
Mr.. Lowell has taken a suite of Of
fees above the Herbst department
store on Broadway between N. P. ave-
nue. and the N. p. tracks, which will
be fitted up and completely ready for
occupancy within the next two days.

North Dakota Flax Straw for
Paper Pulp and Fiber Products

duty from the old world, that fact
does not prove that there is not a
product Of good value in the straw.
It should also be taken into consider
taking out the fiber fail to. produce q
good quality of fiber from such north
western grown fax straw, this also
fails to effect the argument that there
may nevertheless be fiber of high
quality there. 1t is to be remembered
that this straw is somewhat shorter
and more woody. In order to utilize
the fiber, it may be necessary to de-
velop new processes. The scientific
world has often done more difficult
things than would seem to be called
for in this case.
During the past winter / have con-
Quoted many experiments which go to
confirm my previous convictions that
there is not only fiber of good quality
in our northwestern grown seed fax
straw, but that it is there in relatively
high percentage and that it is possible
through cheap chemical processes, to
| get it out in such condition that it is
uninjured, while the old types of
machinery for doing this has a ten
dency to break it up.
These experiments and others which
I have conducted therefore convince
me that there is not the slightest rea-
son why good qualities of paper pulp
should not be obtained from the
thrashed straw. Neither are there any
reasons why, by some new process of
removing the fiber, we may not be
able to take a good quality Of fiber
from the ordinary western straw. The
fact that the present methods OF doing
this are unsatisfactory does not prove
that the fiber is not there, or that
I quality is absent.
"'To arrive at the above conclusions
I have conducted many retting eXper-
iments with cheap chemicals and find
that fiber can be taken out under such
conditions Of as high quality as can
be taken out by the natural processes,
and so far as we are able to go, in do
ing the work on a small scale, I feel
convinced that it would be perfectly
possible to develop quick machinery
processes for doing such work.
"The economic possibilities connect
ed with such work, however. can only
be proved through the carrying out OF
extensive experiments in the develop
ment of model types of machinery for
doing the work. I therefore heartily
commend Hon. I. b. Hanna and our
other representatives in congress for
their effort to gain government sup
port and financial aid for such expert
nents. It is my firm belief that any
person who takes an active part in
Sroviding for the proper development
Of experiments In the utilization Of
this valuable by-product win later
have every reason to feel proud Of the

Fargo operahouse.

April 20-Mrs. Leslie Carter.
April 23-Alma, Where Do You
Live?
Good words are said to be due John
Cort for the prodigality of his produc-
ton of Two Women, in which he is
starring Mrs. Leslie Carter and which
win be seen at the Fargo operahouse
Saturday evening. The equipment is
elaborate to the last detail, and the
personnel, it is said, has been assem-
bled without regard to expense. The
second and fourth act settings are
described as gorgeous beyond proceed
ent, and the Bal Tabarin n In
brilliancy, sufficient to make the pro-
duction a success.
Every musical number in Alma is
a hit in itself. Some Of the titles are
Alma, which is the recurrent waltz
song Of the piece; Girlies, Never More,
Boo-Hoo-Hoo, Childhood Days, Boo
gle Boo, The Land Of Beautiful
Dreams, Sail Home. kiss Me, My
Love and Love Me. The lyrics have
all been done into English by. George
v. Hobart, the librettist Of the Amer
lean version.

Joseph & Hoenck, the local furriers
at SO Broadway, have spared no ex-
pense in giving the people of North
Dakota the best storing facilities
available and have installed the latest
improved methods for ~renovating your
furs and if the owners of furs were
present when their furs were being
cleaned before putting them in storage
they would be convinced how neces-
sary it is to put them through that
process each year.
They have 5000 cubic feet of fire
proof vaults for storeing valuable furs
and 1000 cubic feet Of moth-proof
vaults for heavy fur coats, rugs, etc.,
and the fact that they care for $4,000
worth Of furs annually and have
never paid one dollar damages on the
moth insurance they carry, is good
evidence of their ability to care for
furs.
A small percentage of the valuation
is charged and insures your furs
