the number of singers of the club Is
not as large as in former years, yet

To a prominent Fargo club woman,
Mrs. M. A. Hildreth, as recording
secretary Of the North Dakota Fed
GRAFTON of Women's clubs, fell the
task Of compiling the 1918 feder-
alton year book, recently off the
press. The following message from
Mrs. Fl. G.. Wick, president of the
state federation, is given a prOmln-
ent place in this year book:
Mrs. Vick's Message.
HDear Co-Workers, and by CO.
workers l mean every club woman in
the state of North Dakota. Not one
but five thousand of us are going to
do great things for our state and ma
ton. Our work will be strong or
weak. just as each Of us gives of our
time and talents with unity and pur-
pose. Let us keep constantly before
our minds the simple fable Of the
rain drops, how one little rain drop
looked down and said o poor parch-
ed earth, how / wish I could help
Won, but / am so small and another
rain drop heard and said, No, you
cannot do much alone, but we can all
20 together And so they did and
the many rain drops all together re-
freshed the earth and made 1t green
flowers. Burdens are going to seem
heavy at times during this terrible
war but we must have a constant
vision Of universal brotherhood and
peace and do well our part in the ac-
complishment of the task of nations.
When we are tired. we must think of
our boys across the water and re-
member that it is our part to Keep
The Home Fires Burning till the
Boys Come Home and do our share
in carrying out all appeals that come
from the government.
II would urge the clubs to make
their special community activities
center about the children, remember
ing that you are in a large degree
responsible for what kind of citizens
they shall be for the future. Lend
your influence for conditions which
shall better their education, health
and morals. Let us add strength to
our force by cooperating with all ef-
hcient health and educational inter
ests working for the betterment Of
our great state.
"Our scale Of living must now be
adjusted to the spirit and needs Of
the times. Let us happily order our
home tasks with reason and simpli-
city Of detail that we may have time

song feast Many music-lovers are
familiar with the Verdi opera, but
there are a few interesting facts in
connection with its composition, the
incident of its initial production and
its rather unique career which have

Requested BY khedive.
Aida was composed in 1869 by
Giuseppe Verdi, at the request Of the
Khedive of Egypt, for the then new
ly-built Grand Operahouse at Cairo.
The Khedive paid Verdi $4,000 for
the score, and offered the composer
an additional $4,000 If he would go
to Cairo to conduct the wOrk-the
first performance. But Verdi refused
to 20, partly because Of his fear Of
crossing the Mediterranean, and
partly because of the whimsical
they might make a mummy of him.
The first production Of the opera
was delayed for over year, because
the scenery and costumes were lock-
ed up in Paris during the siege in
the Franco -Prussian war. When
eventually produced at the end of
1871, before a large and distinguish
ed audience at Cairo, it made an
succeNI.
Verdi was assisted in obtaining an
Egyptian story and casting it in an
Egyptian setting by his friends,
Mariette. a Frenchman, who had
made many discoveries in Egyptian

tions pursued on behalf of the French !
