characterized by much enthusiasm
over the campaign for funds for that

Unused those present last evening by
an earnest talk on the work being
carried on here at the home, The
workers are thoroughly informed as

WINGED Of the justice Of the cause.
The Crittenton Home is at pres
emit housing a family of fifty adults
and twenty-six children, aside from
the helpers employed there. The need
of holding Tag day to secure adj
ditional funds may be realized from
the fact that the state allows an APP
preparation Of only $4,000 a year for
this institution, the only one in
North Dakota, and that the least sum
upon which IL may be run for q
period of a year is $4,000. People

no explanation as to the increased
cost Of living, which is a new and
most serious problem to be met at
the Crittenton Home. Two workers
are now touring the state for funds,
and sending in little money day by
day, but the funds are so low at this
time that the institution is borrow
ing money to carry on its very nee
essary work.

Noted American Poet
Suggests Revised Dixie
As Real National Song

Edmund Vance Cook. we'll known
American poet, has suggested the
tune Of Dixie. with new words to
suit every locality of the United
States, as the real national song for
this country. Although advocating a
change in the words, which at pres
emit are purely local, this poet be-
lieves that the Dixie tune has the
real place of affection in American
hearts, and that with new words it
would be a popular successor to The
Star Spangled Banner. As he puts
IL: "Buckwheat Cakes and Land o.
Cotton don't satisfy New England
and the Pacific coast. I've tried my
hand at making new verses, but
won't say they ought to stand. If
someone comes along with better
verses, why let's sing his" gs.
Following are the first verse and
chorus of q new Dixie. as written by
Mr.. Cook: ~
I'm glad live in the land live in,
Best to get and best to give in,
Hip hooray; hip hooray; hip hooray;
