DrdW Food Conservation Posters.
High School Makes Scrap Books

The food conservation poster con-
test In which the drawing classes of
the Fargo schools are engaging, at the
instigation Of Miss Winnie Bucklin,
Fargo public librarian, Is exciting
much interest and promises some fine
results. Miss Clara Rose, drawing
supervisor for the schools here, has
already started her classes on the
printing, which must precede the
poster work.
Fargo has some young artists of
considerable merit, as has been prov
ed by the posters announcing class
plays and the high school circus of
last year, and there is reason to ex-
pect fine display. The best conser-
walton posters will be displayed on
the public library bulletin board and
other conspicuous places.
Making Scrap Books.
The English classes of the Fargo
high school are making scrap books
for the soldiers, according to the
American Library rules. In case 9TH
ers wish to take up this work, the
following suggestions are given out
from the library:
Use heavy, soft brown paper, known
as Stronghold Kraft" in sheets Ask
so inches. One sheet, folded and
trimmed, will make two 14x11 books
Of Is pages.
Covers are of brown Kneesaw
Rope Bristol, In sheets 22hx2S1h.

er with stout thread or bright colored

Irvine and cover decorated with a
coIored picture of suitable size, SO az
not to crowd the page. Books Of
these dimensions can be made for q
little. less than cents apiece when
stock is bought in bulk.
Pictures are preferably colored, at
tractive, cheerful and large enough to

to turn the book in order to see the
picture. More than one may be
placed on the page OF symmetrically
arranged and not crowded.

Jokes-Jokes clipped from humor-
Gus magazines and columns may be
used. In all cases avoid war and

print should be considered in print
ed matter.
weight-Avoid thickness Of paper
These books are for grown men, not
for children, which fact must be con-
sidered in all selections.

snow the workers will be under an
immense handicap. In the larger
cities the time before Dec. IL, the
official date for the opening of the
drive, is all too short to complete
plans for the campaign. There can
be no delay at the division station
in supplying the drive am nunition
to the workers on the firing lines.
In the smaller towns of the divi-
sion members of the Red Cross
Christmas drive committee plan to
place a large service flag in the lead
ing stores. There will be as many
stars in the flag as there are persons
in the community. AS fast as a
membership is taken in the Red
Cross the name of the person en-
rolling will be written in a certain
star. Keen competition is expected
between towns to see which will first
turn in a complete service flag to
headquarters.

Following the cotillion a light
lunch was served in the "blue

with which the rooms are filled. A
metal service shield with thirteen
alternating red and write stripes,
and twenty eight stars in the blue
