McAdoo's Annual Report
Tells of Country's Re
markable Prosperity
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 6.-Secretary Nc
Adoo's annual report OF the govern
ment's finances, presented to congress
today. estimates that the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1917. will show IL bal
ancc of $ll5,00O,000 in the general fund
but that the figures year later-June
so. 1918, will show a deficit in the gem
eral fund of &1s6,0OO.000.
Preliminary estimates place the cost
of conducting the government for the
coming fiscal year 1918. exclusive OF
the postal service which is expected to
be self sustaining and other deduc-
tions. at $1,27S, ,021 900. The ordinary
receipts for the fiscal year 1918 he es-
Inmates at 1895, $780, 900, which is $2S2,-
All 900 less than the estimated eX-
pense.
Estimates OF large expenditures for
national defense carry the estimated
OUTLAY beyond the estimated income.
For the fiscal year 1915 now drawing
to a close, the secretary reports great
prosperity and expresses greatest con-
Ifldence for the future. During the
past year" the secretary says, the
prosperity which set in so strongly
during the fiscal year 1915 has grown
in strength and volume and is now
widely diffused throughout the United
States. Fundamental economic condi-
all lines of industry efficiency of or
ganization and production have
reached the highest point in the coun-
Itry's history. General confidence in
the future, healthful enterprise and
development have been marked char
acteristics of the year.
THE financial strength of the Unit
ed States-the greatest in our history
gives us a commanding position in
world finance. We have been trans
formed from a debtor into creditor
nation. On November I. 1915, the stock
of gold coin and bullion in the United
States was estimated at $2.700. 1876, ,976,
an increase OF $714,697,SO4 in the past
!16 months. This is the largest stock
Of gold ever held in the United States
or in any other country Of the world.
Through the operations of the Fed
eral Reserve system and without abun-
dant supply of gold as a basis, the
credit resources of the United States
have been able to finance our great
domestic and foreign trade without
strain and to extend vast amounts OF
credit to other nations throughout the
world.

Members of Helpful
Club Enjoy Recital by .
Mrs. J. g. Vincent

On Monday evening, the Helpful club
comprised of pupils of Franz JOSEF
Sucher, met in the parlors of the Fargo
Conservatory of Music, to hear a recital
of Schubert songs sung by Mrs. j. G
Vincent, contrafto.
The program was unusually attract
i've as presented. The singer, aside from
giving the life of this, the greatest OF
song writers, prefaced each song wiHH
comments which made them the better
understood and enjoyed. Each numbFI
was given with good tone coloring and
splendid control of voice.
Mrs. Vincent has been greatly in de-
mand of late. During the past few
weeks she has appeared on several con-
cert and orstorio programs. The pro-
gram as sung on Monday evening was
as follows:
whittier; The Miller's Flowers; Long
ings in Spring: Afar; Marg5ret's Song
Death and the Maiden; The Organ Man
The shadow; Ave Maria; and My Dwell

Merely MIIIionnirea.

New York Times: Many plain
American parent who is very far from
the exalted rank of millionaire will
read with interest and approval Of the
two Yale freshmen who beat II" from
their alma mater for parts unknown
because they became tired Of being
merely sons of mIllionaires" and wish
ed to go to work.
To send son to college or not send
him is very ticklish problem in these
happy days. The book learning may or
may not be Important The real queS-
tion is, does the four years in college
make boy a better all-around human
being or not? often times we regret to
say, II does not. Millionaires' sons are
perhaps not as prone to waste their
four years as the boys who think they
are millionaires' sons or, at any rate
pretend to be. From whatever causes
there is plenty Of wasting. 3,
1t is good sign that two American
boys have resolved against college be-
cause II did not give them enough 20
do. II might have been better for their
college II they had stayed on and re
solved to make their college life worth
while. Their example would have been
worth many chapel lectures. But the
main point Is that they wanted TO do
something worth doing and proceeded
to do II. A little more of this revoIu-
tionary spirit, and American colleges
would cease to he doubtful luxuries
and would become almost necessities.

years has brought into strong relief
tho value OF the Federal Reserve syS-
tenn. II is not too much TO say that
our great prosperity could not exist
without II. The usefulness of the sys-
tenn has been broadenHd recently by
the amendatory act of September Z,
1916. which renders it more attractive
to member banks and increases the
scope and services of the Federal re-
serve banks. Due to tho transference
of vault and other reserves to Federal
reserve banks authorized by the orig
inal act and amendatory act, the re-
sources of said banks are now moro
than $3.50, 100000 while the total re-
serves held are over $500. 600, 600. and.
in addition. more than $3.50, 900. 900 is
held by Federal reserve agents as spe-
Iciai security against Federal reserve
notes. About one-fourth OF the coun-
ltIT's stock Of gold is thus modified in
the hands of the Federal reserve banks
and agents.
The increasing strength and eff
cheney of the Federal reserve banks
have enabled them TO enlarge their di-
rect service to the business community
through the introduction of a definite
and comprehensive system for tho par
clearance OF checks throughout the
country.
Rates OF discount at Federal reserve
banks have continued low throughout
the year, and most of their open-mar-
ket paper. consisting largely Of accep-
! tances growing out Of foreign trade.
has been taken below a 2h per cent
basis. Rates Of interest throughout
the country have been reduced and
stabilized. with great adVantage to the
business of the country.

Large Audience Given
Musical Treat At
2s.s Two piano Recital

stones auditorium was crowded even
rs to standing room Tuesday evening,
py an enthusiastic audience gathered
TO hear the two-piano recital given py
e. A. Boehmer, head OF the Dakota con
servatory, and Miss Bertha Hagen, one
of the faculty of that institution. These
two-piano. recitals have always been
very popular here, and are given with
exceptional Skill by these well known
artists.
For lovers of severe classical music,
the Andante and Variations toriginatt,
a Schumann composition, and the over
iure to Tannhauser (Roques), by WaE-
ner, appealed the most. Favorites of a
lighter vein were Sylvia, Suite de Bat
let Oack), including The Hunters,
Valse Lente, Piccicati, Bacchus ana HIS
two closing numbers on the program,
pailse Macabre (Saint-Saens). and Es-
panata- (Chabrier). Mr.. Boehmer and
Miss Hagen palyed with remarkable
binary harmony of the work of the two
pianists was generally commented
upon. Others of their numbers were
Mendelssohn's Overture to snake.
speare's Midsummer Nights Dream, and
Ehrlich's arrangement of Wasner's The
Ride of the Va1kyries.
Miss AIDA Blakeslee. soprano. also
of the conservatory faculty, very pleas
ingly varied the program with several
selections. which were we'll received.
Her work in the scene and aria from
Fidelio. by Beethoven. was particularly
enjoyed. That composition. All. Perfdo.
ranks as one of tho heaviest numbers
of musical literature. Her other num-
bers were Ponchiello's The Blind Girls
Song, from La Gioconda: Del Riego's =
Slave Song; and Van Der Stucken's o
Come With Me in the Summer Night.
the later a dainty love song. Miss
Blakeslee and Miss Hagen were made
the recipients of a veritable shower Of
flowers.
What made the two-piano part of the
program particularly enjoyable, was
the fact that Mr.. Boehmer gave short
explanations of each number as 1t was
played. Seldom has there been a more
interested audience locally than that
which listened to the Danse Macabre
Dance of the Dead, picturing as 1t did
the gruesome scene of the opening of
the graves in an old churchyard, and
the appearance of the dead in their
trailing sheets, performing weird
dance to the magic strains from the
hddle of Death, seated on tombstone
nearby.

About "Gipsy Smith,"


Kansas City Star: "Gpsy' Smith.
whose real name is Rodney Smith, is
an English evangelist: He was born in
Ia gypsy tent in Epping forest Is miles
from London, in 1860. His mother was
an English woman and his father a
gypsy. His father was tinker, mend
ing tinware, recaning chairs and max
ing willow baskets and clothespins.
Also, like all gipsies, he was a horse
trader, roaming over the country with
a wagon and tent. The hoy grew up
without education. Not until he was
II years old did he begin to realize how
the lack of education might bar his
progress. It was at that age that he
first began to dream Of being a preach
er. He began practising talking to
himself and to the birds In the forests
in rural England He set himself to
get an education. In a few years he
had acquired a style of oratorical de-
livery full of force and beauty and a
command of language that is consider
ed remarkable. A London newspaper
speaks Of him as one Of the finest ex-
ponents of the possibilities Of the An
glo Saxon speech.
