Of an inspiring talk given Friday aft
ernoon before the Art section Of the
Fine Arts club Of Fargo, by Miss
Bertha Palmer, Williston, who Is
chairman OF the Art department OF
the North Dakota Federation Of Wo-
mems clubs.
Miss Palmer is urging upon the
clubs for this year that the study
Of art be turned toward the doing
Of things we'll, which is what makes
work beautiful. she said. THE wom-
an who does things well is an artist,
declared Miss Palmer, and emphasiz-
ed the idea that art is a broad and
practical thing, one to be embodied
in all work of the day.
Miss Palmer was in Fargo Wednes-
day and Thursday attending the
mid-winter board and council meet
ing of the state federation, and the
opportunity to hear her talk Friday
was one much appreciated by the Art
section members.
The meeting was held at the home
Of Mrs. John Pollock, Eighth avenue
south. At the business session the
section members pledged q dollar
each for the fund which is being
taken to furnish extra foods for
cohvalescent hospitals in France.
Anyone outside the section member
ship who wishes to help with this
fund, is asked to send the money to
Mrs. Edwin G. Clapp.

Fargo Symphony Orchestra GiUeS
First Concert of Season Sunday

this war winter a time for song re-
vival? There is nothing like music
to give expression to our pride and
patriotism when we are feeling At
than to join with our neighbors in a
soul-stirring song.
What a fine thing 1T would be IL
everywhere the people would join in
community singing! And there is no
better time for this than during the
long winter evenings. Song draws
people together, makes them more
human" more Considerate of each
other, and more ready to cooperate
in any worthwhile common cause.
why not at least make a start?
In every community there are men
and women capable of leadership. II
nothing more could be done, 1t would
be worth more than many may
imagine for the people to just get
together and sing patriotic songs.
Wouldn't it be a splendid thing,
too, If bands Of singers could visit
every farm home from which a son
had gone to training camp or to the
fighting front, and in a spirit Of pa
triotic appreciation sing, THE Star
SpangIed Banner" and other songs
dear to Americans? How proud it
would make the parents feel, and how
much OF joy and gladness 1t would
bring to the lad in khaki to know
that he was thus remembered! Great
est of ALL though, would be the effect
on the singers themselves"

George HruSchkd
Makes Omaha Hit

George Hruschl0a, who for a short
time made his home in Fargo, and
who moved with his parents from
here to Omaha about year ago, has
created quite a sensation in that city,
as indicated in the following COM
ment made recently by the music
critic on the staff OF The Omaha
Bee:
"Omaha is rejoicing in a boy So
prano with a beautiful voice. Eleven
year-old George Hruschka is the
young man in question and Ben
Stanley of Trinity Cathedral has en-
gagged him as soloist. He has sung
with this choir for two Sundays and
last Sunday heard him. His voice
is of lovely rich quality. It is
full and sweet and has that purity Of
tone so often associated with the boy
soprano. His high notes are excep-
tionally futelike and the low ones are
just as pretty as the high. For a lad
of his years he sings extremely well
and displays much talent. His
enunciation is very clear and he uses
his voice without the least effort. Boy
sopranos are rare and Mr. Stanley is
fortunate in being able to engage one
who is so we'll equipped.
This is not Georges first public
singing. With his parents he has re-

Pleased With
Fargo audience

Fortune Gallo, impresaria of the
San Carlo Grand Opera Company,
expressed himself as much pleased
with the large audience that greet
ed the company on its presentation
of the Verdi opera. Aida, in the
Fargo auditorium last Wednesday
evening. Mrs. w. r. Cushing, who
has been instrumental in bringing so
many noted artists to Fargo and
North Dakota during the last few
years, and who had charge Of the
publicity work in connection with
this seasons appearance locally Of
the San Carlo Company secured
from Gallo almost a definite promise
of at least two operas in Fargo next
season. as a result Of the liberal
patronage given the one perform
ance this week. If such an arrange
ment is made, it is likely that one
heavy and one of the lighter operas
viii be given.
A considerable increase of inter
est was noted over that shown in
the local appearance Of the San Carlo
singers last season, when evening
performances of ii TrOvatore and
Lucia di LammermOOr were given,
with a double matinee attraction
consisting of Pagliacci, and Caval-
Iberia Rusticana.

Song Tends To

that songs make all kin, The arti-
Gle reads.
ut is said that the young men of
our armies now in training camps do
not sing as much as do the soldiers
Of other lands. They whistle, but APP
parently they are not given to song.
''On the other hand, those who
know our people know that they are
fond of song. Anyone who has ever
attended a singing school OF the kind
that was once more common than
now, especially in the Middle West,
Is familiar with this fact. The truth
Is that the young men of America
sometimes fail to sing because they
do not know the words OF the songs

Boys Compete
For Crosses

A love of music is not the only in
centive now which the Is choir boys
Of Gethsemane Episcopal cathedral
have for faithful services there. At
the beginning of the new year three
gold crosses, one of which is consid-
erably larger than the other two,
were presented by Martin Hector to
be awarded monthly to the three
boys attaining the highest standing
as to neatness, conduct, prompt
ness and attention.
The largest of the three crosses is
to be awarded each time to the boy
having attained the highest degree Of
perfection in all four points above
named. Second and third honors are
about equally divided and will win
the awards Of the other two crosses,
which are Of the same size.
The crosses were awarded for the
first time on the first of January,
highest honors being won by Phillip
Keene. Martin Enders received the
next cross, for neatness and conduct,
and Joseph Kloman the remaining
cross, for pTomptness and attention.
On Feb. /, the large cross went to
George Topper: Phillip Keene was
awarded the one for neatness and
conduct; and Jack Southern won the
cross for pToTnptness and attention.
The competition among the boys has
grown commercially spirited. Miss
