W%ashinston's Birthday
Was Loyalty Observed

The Washington birthday anniver-
! sary was very loyalty observed last
| night at Concordia college, the audi
torium of which was crowded to X
cess, there being at least 1000 people
present. The very appropriate eXer-
ciscs were presided over by President
Aasgaard of the college,, who most
happily introduced the speaker of the
occasion, Hon. L" B. Hanna. governor
oS North Dakota Mr. Hanna, in a
charming conversational manner, gave
his experiences in Washington as a
member Of the hOus OF representa-
tives from North Dakota. He old OF
men he had seen and with whom he
worked as associates in committees to
which he was assigned by the speaker
of the house. In his descriptions of
how legislation is mapped Out, the
travel Of the thousands of measures
through, congress-, how they are con-
sidered and finally disposed of, dis
closed one plain fact, that Mr.. Hanna
every detail. Along this line he was
charmingly entertaining as well as in
Structive. His personal opinion was
that congress is too large to he as
practical as it might be. To a great
extent efficiency is destroyed. lndi-
vidual influence in legislation at the
national capital is impossible, all the
work is done by committees. Mr.. Han
ma very deftly punctuated his remaSSs
with word pictures of events and
scenes of exciting sessions in the ma
tional house of representatives and
how very ordinary occurrences would
suddenly change the whole trend of
affairs as they passed in review before
the members. Mr.. Hanna told of his
toric places he had visited and their
relations bearing on present times.
Concluding Mr.. Hanna referred to the
Importance of the observance of the
national holidays to the young people
of today. 1t stirred and kept alive the
spirit of patriotism which was desir-
able in the life of the nation. He
thanked the vast audience for the well
come accorded him and for the close
attention paid to him. The applause

Detectives are hunting for g.
very prominent Pittsburgh official
Of the steel trust as a witness in
the divorce case which her hus-

Constance Stonebracker:: They
were sent to Pittsburgh some days

were coming, and he has been able

paper would bring his name into

He is not the only well-known

was deafening when the executive Of
North Dakota resumed his seat.
During the evening some delightful
MUSIC was given. The proceedings
opened with a short program given by
the band of Concordia college under
the direction of Professor OVERLY. The
band boys played splendidly and the
patriotic airs were most enthusiastic
ally received. T.
A treat was the singing of Mrs,
Edwin r. Askegaard, the very talented
soprano of this city. She was in splen-
did voice and her charming %personali-
~ captured the big audience immedi-
ately n established her as the favor
lite vocalist in this section Of the state.
For her first number Mrs. ,AskegaArd
sang, Sc Saran Rose, a very beautiful
composition by Arditi, and she gave it
an Interpretation which appealed to
her audience for she was given q most
enthusiastic applause at the |9nish.
That song was followed by a wonder
fully impressive rendition of Mighty
Like a Rose, by Nevin. Later Mrs.
A~skegaard and S. H. Kantor contrib
uted a duet, a selection from the Per-
sian Garden. The singers were recall
ca and for an encore they sang Eden
Land. which again captivated the au-
dience who were charmed with the
beautiful blending of the two voices.
Inc were prayed with
marked distinction by Miss Norma Oh
son of the music department Of the
college.
Added to the musical treats was the
playing Of Miss Ada Grinager. pianist,
one Of the teachers at Concordia. She
played with a dash and abandon
which delighted the audience. She is
well equipped as a pianist, possessing
q. seriousness of temperament and an
attractiveness of personality which
are appealing and the people last night
recognized them. She is unaffected
and gave pleasure by her evident SIN

The celebration was in all a distinc-
tive success and congratulations are
due the president and faculty Of the
