Fine Musical Performance

The Nautical Knot, the operet-
ia given by the high school stu
dents Monday evening elected the
warm appreciation Of the large aud
ience that greeted its presenta-
tion. Certainly great credit is
due Miss Louise Bublitz, the music
al instructor in the school, for the
excellent manner in which the sew
eral parts were rendered, as we'll as
to the young people themselves for
both chorus and solo work. The
opera house was not large enough
to seat the ticket purchaser, and a
second performance was given Tues
day evening for the benefit of the
red cross, when q nearly full house
greeted the young people.

Instructions to HOuSekeeperS.

Hot weather frequently produces
spoilage in certain fiours and meals
if they are not properly cared for,
especially those which contain a
high percentage of fats, moisture
or the outer coatings of the grain.
TO prevent such losses, particularly
at this time when bread stuffs are
so essential to the allies and our
selves, the following instructions
for the storage Of these fours and
meals are given:
i. Buy in small quantities.
2. See that hours and meals are
in good condition when purchased.
3. Keep in cool dry place. ~
(a) Use tins or covered jars for
containers, scalded and perfectly
dried.
(b) It is well to use two COVER
ed containers alternately. always
putting fresh purchases in a clean
container. and never mixing the
residue from the previous purchase
with the fresh purchase.
4. Sterilize before putting away
by placing in shallow pans (or clean
cotton containers) in an oven and
heating slowly, being careful not
to burn or even brown. The flour
or meal must be in thin layers and
stirred frequently so that every
part may be equally heated. After
cooling. place in clean covered con-
tainers.

FOR AMERICAN lake
Train Load 0f American Men Make
the First Lap on the Road
10 Berlin

Last Saturday one Of the biggest
crowds of people that Milbank has
known for a long time, came in to
see some thirty-six of the selects
for the national army take their de-
parture for the training camp.
The boys GER al inly had an ovation
in the crowd that turned out to bid
them good bye.
There were three bands: one from
Stockholm, one from Labolt and the
newly organized Milbank band
formed into one band by leader Van
Walker, who is instructing all three
bands and lots Of good patriotic,
martial music was furnished during
the afternoon.
The w. r. C. with flags and
the Boy Scouts marched to the de-
pot as organizations, and the band
escorted the Grant county boys to
the train. Some forty-two Roberts
county boys, also came down to go
On the same train. When gathered
at the depot Rev Chas. Z. Wood
gave a short farewell talk to the
boys assuring them of the right
eousness of the cause they were
going out to fight for, and the con-
tidence with which the home people
were sending them out to battle for
cause as sacred as men had ever
espoused-such a cause as the arm
les Of Washington and Lincoln had
fought for on many fields. At the
conclusion of the speech three cheers
were given for the flag, three cheers
for the boys who were going out to
uphold it. three cheers for the cause
they were going to battle for, and
three cheers for President Wilson
On the same special train on
which the Grant and Roberts county
boys went were several carloads of
Minnesota men from Pipestone
county and other points in the south
west part of that state.
At Aberdeen this train took on
the Brown county men twenty-three
in number, SO that something over
four hundred were aboard when it
left thescity for American Lake
training camp, or as one of the
boys from Minnehaha put it, when
they started for Berlin and were
only to stop at American Lake or
any where else for food and water.
