"Oh, will you sing" entreated Mrs.

A few minutes she sat in thought,

had sung the role just once, some

fact that she must get through, and
somehow save the situation. she was
led onto the stage in her street cos

off her white gloves. They had been
cleaned and were slippery. They would
interfere with the turning of tho

The audience good-naturedly cheer

Auxiliary Will Make
Carry-all Bags For
Company B Members

At a meeting of Company B aux
Hilary held Monday evening in the
Masonic temple library, the ladies
decided to make carry-aH bags for
each of the Company B members
numbering in all nearly $50. These
bags will be made of khaki, and are
to be used by the boys when away
from camp, for carrying convenient

etc. Incidentally, the North Dakota
comfort bags are much more con-
yenient and adequate than some that
have been made in other states for
the soldiers, and all the recipients
are extremely grateful for and proud
of that fact.
An auxiliary committee was last
evening appointed to buy khaki for
the carry -all bags, which are to be
finished if possible at a meeting on

to the Company B men when they
leave Fargo will follow the farewell
parade with is being arranged by
the Rotary club. ThS two affairs
will take place on whatever day the
company leaves Fargo. II the wealth
er is favorable the picnic will be held
in Island park, which will be much
more convenient for all, and If UNI
favorable it will take place in the
armory Every resident of Fargo will
be welcomed as a picnic participant,
and the public will be depended upon
to take its own lunches and enough
additional for one or two of the SOL
diers. The auxiliary ladies will fur
nish and serve the coffee for this
picnic.
Plan Birthday Cheer.
The auxiliary ladies have already
begun sending birthday cards to the.
Company b men as their anniver-
saries occur, and before the company
leaves Fargo will have secured the
signature of every member, so that
when on a foreign field all the men
may be remembered in some way on
their natal days. This birthday rec
ord when compiled will also provide
the autographs of all the Company b
members, and will some day be of
great historical value.

BELTS AND CUFFS ON
MEMS CLOTHES CONE

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. Persons
who wear the belt in mems clothing
in the next few months or thereafter
will be classed as efficiency slackers,
according to information conveyed to
W. S. Thorpe, manager of the Quality
Shop. Mr.. Thorpe said yesterday
that big clothing manufacturers had
been told by the government to elimi-
nate the belt in the coats for men
and added that cuffs on mems trous-
ers were now practically taboo,
"The whole PLAN Mr. Thorpe said,
is in the program of the United
States government to enforce a broad
system of efficiency and conservation
OF the necessities of life. Persons can
get some idea of the waste in, say,
ten million suits for men with belts
on them How many suits of clothes
do you suppose are wasted in that
process? Retailers have been order
ed to buy sensible clothes, but the
manufacturer on a large scale is the
one who is being directed right from
the shoulder by the federal govern
ment," Mr.. Thorpe said.
In regard to the cuff on mems
trousers, Mr.. Thorpe said the waste
was not so great Most of such
trousers are worn by the youth of the
nation and they wear their trousers
so much shorter than do grown men
that they may yet appear ia cuff
trousers without appearing exCraya-
sanity wasteful. However, the cuff
comes under the general head of use
ilessness and it will be generally
eliminated in future.
