Large Audience Enjoys
Second Sunday Concert

The possibilities of community mu-
SIC were demonstrated in the Normal
school auditorium Sunday afternoon
When the student body, members of
the faculty, and the orchestra present
Cd Chester B. Searle's beaut full
Christmas cantata, Emmanuel" as
the second of the series OF free mu-
nicipal concerts. Possibly 400 persons
took part under the baton OF Dean
woodlands, while the auditorium was
almost taxed to it's capacity with
townspeople, who seemed to enjoy the
program immensely.
The cantata was presented in a very
informal way, and the program was
not without it's customary period Of
community singing. The orchestra
opened with a fine overture, under the
direction of Prof. Knute Froysa, and
showed that Valley City has as fine
municipal orchestra as can be
found anywhere in the state. The &C.
compartment to Emmanuel" also was
played with fine effect. In the series
of mum pal concerts, the orchestra
is bound to be one Of the most inter-
esting features.
The NOrmalonians sang CantOr's
christmas Bells with good effect.
Then came two Of the good old fash
Toned Christmas hymns in which all
who were present took part-"Hark
the Herald Angels Sing" and "Holy
Night" 1t brought home the spirit Of
the season, as nothing else can.
Miss Dorothy Mcfarland, soprano,
and Mr.. J. B. Meyer, basso, were the
two soloists in Emanuel acquitting
themselves entirely with credit and
adding greatly to the delightful spirit
that permeated the entire production.
They had frequent opportunity to
show their ability in vocal accomp-
ishment.
The chorus of wOmen's voices which
opened part two of the cantata pro-
duced an exquisite effect, and made
the audience feel that with as fine a
group of male voices-what a fine bal
anced chorus Valley City would have!
= The concert brought one of the larg-
est audiences of the year to the audi
torium The series will be continued
after the holidays, on alternate Sun
day afternoons, and is made possible
through the cooperation of the Valley
City Comemrcial club and the depart
nent of music at the Normal school.
Other programs are in the process of
preparation, and they promise to be as
pleasing as that of last Sunday. 1t
takes a large audience as we'll as a
good program to make them a success.
These two elements were present Sun
day, and We feel free to predict that
they will be present from now on.

Huge Buildings For Offices at
Washington.

One of the manifold problems pre-
sented by the war is that of furnishing
adequate office accommodations for the
thousands of additional officials, clerks.
and other Federal servants who are
pouring into Washington. The Govern
ment is exercising its prerogative in
this direction and has Communicated
conveniently located office buildings
and apartment houses with free hand.
In addition, it is erecting huge tenn
porary structures for use as offices,
and in the building of these contractors
are breaking time records for cohstruc-
tion work. A building to house the six
hundred officials and clerks of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense, containing

well under way on a mammoth struc-

to house the overflow of the War and

which calls for completion in four

By these methods the Government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the
