SOCK DAY ATTHE Il, 5.
Students of High School Celebrate. An
nuaI Sock Day--DispIay Won
derfuI Variety.

Today the students of the Fargo high
school are celebrating Sock day, which
for many years past has been. observed
as an annual event in high school cir
cles. During the early part of the
week signs on the bulletin board pro-
claimed that Friday, May 10, was Sock
day and warned that everyone wearing
gaudiest obtainable Or were of the
same color. would be deprived of same
imediately upon their. appearance on
the school grounds. ~.
A few, students who thought that
they had nine lives and could safely
risk one, appeared at the school in
undecorated footwear, but they soon
realized their mistake when the more
patriotic scholars. seized them and took
off their shoes and socks, and compel
led them to. hunt for same. in their
bare feet, much to the amusement of
the onlookers. - r
There were several special attrac-
tons, including a parade in the school
and around the grounds led by the
highly decorated Sock day boosters.
At noon the special feature of the day
was brought to light when the darby
orchestra, which is travelling through
the state, was engaged by some of the
more. e~nterprising. students and ap-
peared at the school. The orchestra
played several. selections and. the high
school boys tore off dances a%ppropri-
ate to the occasion. > o.
A, glance in the assembly room, dur
ing the study hour, was sufficient. to
convince one that as far as colors were
concerned only the rainbow was in
comparison. The next annual event
at the high school, will be Tramp day,
which is scheduled to come off the lat
ter part of this month. @

PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST The
" MILIIAN1S

London, May 9.-Apprehension over
the threats of the militant suffragettes
to eclipse the destructive acts of the
past week is manifested by the pre-
cautions taken today. when Premier
Asquith and first lord of the admiral
tN, Winston Spencer Churchill, accom-
panied by their wives, left Waterloo
station for the coast to join the ad-
miralty yacht Encnantress, on which
they are to make a long cruise in the
Mediterranean, inspecting the British
garrisons and naval stations. A. large
number of aides, secretaries and rail-
way officials surrounded the cabinet
members while a Gordon of detectives
surrounded the entire party. There
was so great a force in the stadium
that any demonstration by the suf-
~fragettes was impossible.
General" Flora Drummond, the
militant suffragette leader who col
lapsed twice in police court during
yesterdays proceedings, is very i'll as
a result Of her hunger strike.
A physician advised her to undergo

PLAYFORD SILO
: PROVED SUCCESS
WlLLMAR MAN WHO PURCHASED
THIS SLLo WRITES TELLING
HOW THE SlLO HAS PROVED TO
BE BETTER THAN THE AGENTS
CLAIMED FOR IT.

Farmers contemplating the erection
of a silo this year should. read the fol
lowing, as it will give one good reason
why our particular type of silo is king
among them. all. . .- ,-. .-.
.Willmar, Mimi, May s, 1918. Fargo
Silo Co., Fargo. N. d. Gentlemen:
Replying to your favor asking for in.
formation in regard to the Playford
cement stave silo that was in my. barn
when it burned. 1 want to say. this:
l erected the barn last year. All
kinds of silo concerns, were of course
after me to buy, their kind Of silo.
Wood silo agents came thick and fast.
The only reason why I finally bought
a Playford silo was that |: had d
friend who was convinced that these
things that were said about it were
not true and that after all was said
it was the best silo on the market,
n he never left me alone about the
silo, and finally got me to buy one.
l am not sorry today that my friend
would not leave me alone before l
bought the Playford silo. 1t a GER
tainly proven that it will do more than
the makers claim for it., and it has
amply proved that those things which
were said. about it by wood silo agents
and institute lecturers were either
ignorant or malicious statements,
made for the purpose of hurting the
sale Of this type of silo. 49,.
d MY silo was built inside the barn
in one of the wings. 1t was almost
completely surrounded by. thick walls.
When the barn caught fire these walls
were the right distance from the silo
walls to give. such intense heat that
the hoops warped and slipped out of
place. The roof fell into the silo and
for awhile there was a. tremendous
heat both inside n outside of the
silo. 1t is a wonder to me that those
thin walls didn't actually melt. But
they didn't. After, the fire the only
things that were left were my iron
~stanchions and the Playford cement
stave silo. -. - 49,.
The company put on some new
hoops, and when the, silo is rewashed
it will be as good as new, so far as
I can see%now.
I have answered your inquiry as
completely as this because / want to
do what / can to inform farmers of
the merits Of the Pfayford ,silo. I
was prejudiced against it because I
listened to, agents selling other silos,
who either lied. or didn't know better.
Whoever may read this letter, / want
to say don't. believe them. If you
want to know anything else about
this silo I'll be glad to answer in
quiries.
In rebuilding my barn. /. will leave
the silo outside, where. in my opinion,
it should be.
Beiieveing from what I know that
anyone buying a Playford cement
stave silo buys a first class, if not
the best silo, I am, yours very truly,
c.. Q. Berduist.
If. YOU wants;to see the original let
ter. will be glad to show it to you if
YOU will call at u Office. Our silo
does not cost al much as the others.
still is instructable. Fargo Silo Co,
400 n. p. Ave. -Advt. \
