Dakota Conservatory of Fargo
Owing to the difficulty of obtain
ing first class instruction on this
popular but difficult instrument,
the patrons consider themselves
very fortunate to obtain the sery-
Ices OF such an efficient instructor
as Mr.. Ilenrikson. Students of
the violin are takin advantage of
this opportunity, as there has been
an unusual increase in enrolment,
in this department. since Mr.. Hen
rikson came. Ii keeps him busy
from arly morning until late in the
evening, Oh the days he spends
each week in this city. Several
students of the violincello are re-
celving instruction OH this beauti-
full instrument. Mr.. Hcnrikson
also teaches Harmony, Counter
point and Musical Theory. Ad-
vanced students are taking advan-
tage of this opportunity.
The present faculty deserve an
abundance of credit for the sue
cess of the school. They are effici-
ent and hard working. They have
had the best of training. by leading
American and European teachers.
During their summer vacation,
they have usually spent their time
in taking post graduate courses
with some of the greatest teachers
Of America.
Miss l5ardwell has taken up spe-
clal studies with the greatest liv-
ing American baritone, David Bis
pham, in New York City.
Mr.. IIenrikson has taken up
special work with the famous Eur
open teacher, Straka, a classmate
of Kubelik.
Mrs. Nelson and Miss Baker
have worked hard during their va
cation. They have both taken up
special work with the leading
teachers of the Northwest.
The winter term begins Nov. 26.
1t is a great compliment to the
citizens, of this part of our state as
well as Of the adjacent sections Of
Minnesota and South Dakota, who
have literally supported the insti-
tuition.
The people of Wahpeton espec-
tally, who have the good fortune of
receiving the direct benefit of hav-
ing this institution located right
in its midst, ought TO realize what
asset it is to this city. IT is man
Hesitation of the community spirit
of this city assisted by the intelli-
gent citizens Of our sister city. 1t
shows that we have the refining
Influence in our midst which makes
this ii desirable place TO live. 1t
shows unusual enterprise as there
are few cities of our size that can
boast of our many educational adj
vantagcs.
This institution gives the best
there is, and should receive our
best support. So far il has been
possible to continue its existence
by large outside patronage. and
by the untiring efforts and sacrif-
ccs OF its patrons and lovers OF
music. But now when older ana
larger schools are compelled TO
close their doors in other places is
no time nor place for divided pat
ronage, if we are to retain this our
valuable institution. Thcr" is no
place for petty jcalo,lsics or the
knocker who is always assailing

1t bchoovcs us to make an effort
to keep the good things we have.
Your financial and moral support
is needed. Even the Indifferent
casual onIookcr will tell you that
the future benefits derived from
this school can not be measured in
dollars and cents.

we have discovered that 164th in

stature than any other regiment in
the service. In addition TO that
they weigh an average of twenty
pounds more to the man. The Monl

which all members were over 6 f.

quite as good as that of North

KITCHEN ECONOMY IS
IMPORTANT FEATURE

Washington, May 1.-THE Secretary
Of Agriculture, in response to requests
from many editors for a statement as
TO service women can render the ma
ton in the direction of producing and
conserving agricultural products, has
issued The following:
ITO the Women of the United
States: Every woman can render i'm
pertant service to the nation in its
present emergency. She need moi
leave her home or abandon her home
duties to help the armed forces. She
can help to feed and clothe our ar
mics and help to supply food to those
beyond the seas by practicing effec-
tive thrift in her own household.
Every ounce of food the housewife
saves from being wasted in her owr
home-a,l food which she or her chill
oren produce in the garden and car
or preserve-every garment which care
ard skillful repaid make it unneces
sary to replace-all lessen that house
holds draft on the already insufficient
world supplies.
"To save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly
balanced meals which, while nourish
ing each member of the family prop
erly, do not encourage overeating OF
offer excessive and wasteful variety
1t is her duty to use all effective
rlethods to protect food from spoilag'

Another Secret Treaty"

The latest American discovery
made in Germany is "secret Anglo
American treaty" BY the terms OF
this treaty, we are informed by the
German newspapers, Germany in the
future is to be allowed no colonies
whatever, and Germany's surplus pop
ulation is to be directed to the Anglo
Saxon controlled countries, where it
Is to be absorbed as Germans have
Ieen in the United States. The Ham
burg Fremdenblatt, usually regarded
as an authority on foreign matters.
p lints the story from an absolutely
reliable source"
To anyone totally unfamiliar with
American political institutions, this
story might seem plausible. The lim-
itation of German ambitions that it
involves is quite in line with the nat
u.al consequences of Germany's own
acts 1t would be poetic justice if
Germany, as the penalty for waging
a great war for territorial aggrandize-
ment, should, be deprived of the CO.
lonial territory she already had before
she started the war. Despite all her
Complaints, she had pretty spacious
''Ilace in the sum- particularly in Al
1ica. For late-comer in the field OF
world doml--on and colonial expan-
SION, she was doing well. Fighting a
criminal war against civilization for
tie enlargement of that place, she
should not complain if the nations
against whom she has done such Bit
ter wrong keep what they have seized
from her.
With that, however, the United
States has little to do. We are not
interested in the colonial ambitions
Of other powers, whether they are our
Lilies or our foes. We are concerned
with higher, more vital principles.
AS for the freezout game men,
toned, we'd really be interested in
learning how such a secret pact could
be entered into by the United States.
1t doesn't seem to have dawned on
Tie German editors that we are gov
{, ned by constitution, not by kais-
er. They have never heard, apparent
j., that the treaty-making power in
this country is vested in the United
States Senate. We'd like to know
.a,,- tho roraSidenf col1ld ma ko an in
.ernational treaty without the Senate
earring about it, or how the Senat :
could make a treaty without the ma
tiun hearing about it.
