Before a packed house in the city

Z North Dakota's solons at Washing-

Musgrave divided his address into

MEDIC STUDENTS
ARE EXEMPTED
Dean French of University
Receives Notice Last
Evening-Affects s.

Dean H. E. French of the school of
medicine, University of North Dakota,
received a telegram last evening from
the war department, by order of Presi-
dent Wilson, notifying him that in
terms, second, third and fourth year
medical students, are exempt from
draft service.
The notification came as somewhat
of a surprise asiit had been previ-
ously stated that no medical student
would be exempt. County Clerk Hans
Anderson Of the county exemption
board stated today that he had re-
|ceived no orders to exempt medical
students.
If the exemption rulings governing
medical students become effective, five
students who have just completed
their work here, and three who are
now in their second year, and who
have been drafted, will be released
RON military obligations.
Out Of a class of 80 attending the
medical school, five are not subject to
draft. OF the rs remaining, eight
were drafted.

IN THE LAND OF
THE MIDNIGHT SUN

a pretty tale of the North Country
tells how our pleasant custom OF kiss
ing under the mislletoe had it's origin.
Baldur. the Apollo of the North,
though the favorite of the gods was
thoroughly hated by Loki, because of
the fact that he {Baldur) was invul-
nerable; he could not be harmed by
any force of fire, earth. air or water
SO the wicked Loki conceived the plan
OF ending Baldur's existence by killing
him with dart made from mistIetoc
wood. AS a sign Of reparation, the
plant was thenceforth dedicated to
Frigg, mother Of Baldur, so long as it
did not touch the earth. I.okfs en-
pire. In Frigg's hands the nistletoe
became an emblem of love; and every
one who passed under il received q
kiss. to show it was no longer an in
strument OF death and enmity That
is why 1t Is suspended in all homes
during the season OF peace, amity and
good will.
Or Scandinavian rather than Drui-
deal origin, as is thought by many, is
the Yuie log custom occurring as II
does exactly six months between the
midsummer's fire. These are lighted
out of doors in all parts OF the coun-
try at the festival Of the summer
solstice. To their winter celebration
the Scandinavians gave the name of
Suul and lighted great bonhres In
honor or their god, Thor. The bring
ing in of a ponderous block of wood
from the forest, and placing 1t on the
hoarth of the baroniai hall was a cere-
mony honored and observed on Christi
mas Day. In some parts Of tho coun-
try the Yule log is not allowed to
burn quite away. but the burnt ends
are carefully gathered and placed in
the clefts Of fruit trees. to insure a
good ersp the coming season,

dreds. was always feature. When
the hard times brought about by war
conditions came along the grand balls
were abandoned. or rather the expen-
sive features were cut out, and an In
stitution that acquired the name of
hop" took it's place. The hop was
simply dance. the dancing being done
to a cheaper grade OF music. and no
refreshments were served. The only
expense attendant upon q hop was for
music and the rent of a ballroom. IL
one had to be rented. 1t was quite
the thing in the years Immediately
following the war for the Richmond
hotels to furnish tho ballroom free for
right well did the proprietors know
that the frolic would be attended by
nnny young men who would be lib
eral patrons OF the barroom while the
festivities were on. The people were
still poor in 1857, but tho young folks
had to dance, and so the hop became
the thing.
Every night during Christmas week,
1857, there were one or more hops at
the Richmond hotels; some nights three
or Tour going on at the same time
and the cancers from all over the city
were there to enjoy them to their
hearts content.
More is said about these hops by the
reporters of the papers of that day
ana time than any other feature OF the
christmas OF fifty years ago. Mem
ton Is made. however. of the extra
ordinary amount OF visiting and en-
tertaining. and general summinE-up
or the weeks dcings brings out the
tact that there were any number Of
FAMILY reunions when large families
with all of the "in-laws" and sisters
and cousins and aunts. who had been
separated by the fortunes OF war, had
gathered together for the first time
since 1861.
Santa Claus was here in all OF his
glory fifty years ago, and probably
brought bigger loads of GOOD things
than he did the year before: the non
cracker and roman-candle dealers did
very satisfactory business and there
were big dinners galore. But all of
these things came along in more or
ucrl| ways and were enjoyed more
safely than had heen the case at any
Ehristmas time since tho close of the
war. That is the kind of Christmas
Richmond enjoyed nifty years ago. ac
cording to the authorities. and tho
present indications are that the one
OF this year will be celebrated I'm much
The same way. except, Of course. th,,

CHRISTMAS SUPERSTlTl0NS
IN HOMES OF OUR ALLIES

We Of tho New World and the mod

mannerisms OF the countries across
the Atlantic. Most particularly have
the habits of England and France held

the unquenchable dear memory OF

poignant reason--for there aren't many
homes VINO cannot claim a son or
brother "over there"
And il is we'll TO know some OF the
homely, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people of
our allies.
In England and in Scotland the say
ing goes that 1t is unlucky for any
body but n brunette to first cross the
threshold on Christmas morning.
To bake bread on Christmas Day is
praiscworthy. and loaves baked then
will never grow moldy. In these times
of scarcity OF flour. the poor loavcs
do not stand half chance TO mold!

day turns mattress. 1t bodies i'll

the bees good morning and compli-
ments Of the season. On Christmo =
Eve the hives arc decorated with sprigs
Of green and n bit OF red ribbon. Ills
also said that bees sing all night on
Christmas Eve. But bees arc rather
perpetual singers anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in
Northern England and Wales. that the
birds and beasts have some mystic con
nection with the nativity. Hence, tho
farmers and landowners purchase
sheaves OF oats from little boys who
sell IL as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences. that the
