ENJOYABLE CLUB MEETING.

The lifting notes OF Irish airs, as
fresh and delightful as I breath
waited from the Emerald Isle, merg-
ing at the last into the strains OF the
"Star Spangled Banner" made the
opening meeting of the Philhar-
monic Club Thursday night one OF
the most pleasant and interesting i'll
the history of the club. The pro-
gram was given at Gait Manor,
where the company was received by
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gait, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Gait, Mrs. +, +. Gull
lot, president OF the club, and Mrs.
Minnie Wall, president-elect Miss
Anne Thompson, a dainty colleen,
wearing a green coat and white
skirt, was in charge of the pro-
gram, prefacing each number with a
little explanatory talk, as clever as
the proverbial Irish wit. Misses
Ernestine and Gladys Guilot and
Hattie Burnett, piano, violin and
cello, gave the opening selection, a
beautiful Interpretation OF Ave Ma
ria" from "Cavalleria RuSticana," ="
Mrs. II. B. Harts' An Irish Love
Song by Lange, was especially
pleasing. Miss Frances Jones sang
Clique" by Bachman, which was
much appreciated as were two solos
by Miss Thompson, You'd Better
Ask Me-" by Lohr, and "Ihe Foine
Ould Irish Gentleman by Brough-
man. Mrs. F. B. Reid, as usual, was
one OF the favorite soloists and gave
Gay Butterfly" by Hawley. The
program was varied by two clever
dramatic readings given by Miss
Eleanor Lilly, Then and Now" by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, appropriate to
the present day "Cordelia," in honor
of Saint Pat" Mrs. Robert Gar
denhire's beautiful voice was par
ticularly adapted to the appealing
"Macushla," a second solo, a bird
song, by Liza Lehman, was equally
pleasing. Mrs. L. w. Burrow and
Mrs. F. F. Guillot sang a pleasing
duet, Mistress Mary" by Salter,
Mrs. N. c. Wood had two solos, ITO
My First Love-" by Lohr, and "Pat," "
by Seller, both of which appealed
greatly to the audience. Miss Ellen
Dickson sang a fayorite number,
The Shoogy Shoo,' by Mayhew
and Mrs. Guillot the popular Irish
ballad Kathleen Mavournee'n."
"The Untruthful Daisy" by Ward
and "Springtime," by Donizetti-
Rhysbet, were sung by the Philhar-
monte quarter, Mrs. Gardenhire,
Mrs. Guillot, Mrs. Wood and Mrs
Reid. At the conclusion of these
two enjoyable numbers, the audi
ence rose, en- masse, and sang the
Star Spangled Banner" Refresh
mentS we're served later, Mrs. l.. w

THAT RED CROSS ACRE

The first Barnes county farmer to
offer an acre Of wheat to the Barnes
County Chapter Of the American Red
Cross is Fred L. Miller, of Sanborn,
whose farm is Sec. 1-138-61, Meadow
Lake township. Mr.. Miller was in
Valley City the other day to take his
examination before the registration
board and expects, before this acre Of
wheat is matured, to have responded
to Uncle Sam draft for men.
But he says he wants to do his duty to
the flag at both ends-the trenches
Ct France and the wheatfelds Of
North Dakota-and will leave instruc-
lions with his brothers to see that the
grain is cared for and harvested for
the benefit of the Red Cross. 1t is
expected that every farmer in Barnes
county will want to follow the exam
pie of this fine young patriot farmer.
If there is a general response. the
Barnes County Chapter will probably
provide metal Red Cross markers for
every acre so donated.

THE GREAT DUTY

As we go about our daily tasks in
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battlefelds Of Europe
to save civilization. Our own gallant
soldiers are shedding their blood in
France and our sailors engulfed in the
waters of the Atlantic as they go in
defense Of Americas rights and honor.
Upon our performance of the work
committed to US depend the lives of
thousands of men and women, the fate
of many nations, the preservation of
civilization and humanity itself; and
the more efficient and prompt we peo-
pie of America are in doing our part
the more quickly will this war come
to an end and the greater the number
of our soldiers and sailors who will
be saved from death and suffering and
the greater number of the people of
other nations released from bondage
and saved from death.
To work, to save, to economic, to
give financial support to the govern
ment is a duty of the nation and to
the world and it is especially duty
to our fighting men who on land and
sea are offering their lives for their
country and their countrymen.

GIVE A BOOK

Remember that March 1926 is the
week set aside for book campaign
all over the country, to supply the
needed books for the soldiers and
sailors libraries. There are millions
of unused books in American homes
These books can do a splendid service
in the camps and environments. Much
has already been done, but there is a
demand that far exceeds the present
supply.
What can you do to help?
You can pass on the men in khaki
the books you have enjoyed but will
not read again.
You can give them some of the
books you like best. They like them,
too.
You can send novels. tales of ad-
venture, detective stories and stand
ard fiction, up to date books on civil,
mechanical and electrical engineering,
the trades, business, the professions,
books of travel, history, biography,
poetry and the present war, diction-
aries and interesting books in the

lar.
Leave the books at the public IL

LONG VACATIONS LET

Bismarck, March 20.-A longer
spring vacation for rural schools dur
ing the seeding period is advocated
by Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton N. C. Macdonald as a means of
encouraging an increased production of
food crops in letter addressed to
county superintendent of schools.
The longer vacation, could be ar
ranged, Macdonald points out, without
shortening the eight or nine months
term by continued school later in the
summer when there is very little work
to be done on the farm. If the spring
vacations cannot be heightened Super

LIVESTOCK BREEDING ASSO-
CATIONS

Livestock breeding associations have
many advantages over the each-man-
for himself plan. When number of
farmers are raising the same kind of
stock they club together in buying
foundation animals. A few farmers
can buy sire comparatively and in
this way secure better one than one
farmer could afford to buy alone.
When this sire has been used two or
three years and can no longer be used
another set of farmers can use it; the
two sets Of farmers can exchange
sires. In this way the good sire can
be kept in the community.
When a good many farmers are
raising the same breed of stock so
much of it will be produced that the
community will become noted for its
stock which brings a market. The cat
tie breeders association will help i'm
prove the quality of the stock and it
will bring the market right to the
community.

CONFIDENCE NEEDED

The American people should not be
unnecessarily alarmed over the pres
ent situation. If Germany wins this
war it will be by intrigue and not by
force of arms. Russia will prove
white elephant, and as long as the
Germans are, barred from the sea they
will not make much Roadway. Tenn
porary successes may come. but there
is every reason to be confident that
the Huns have reached the zenith of
their power. This country has allied
itself with others in a righteous
cause, and there should be no falter-
ing or lack of confidence until the job
of licking the naughty Hohenzollerns
has been accomplished.

SOIL BLOWING

There are several things that can
be done to lessen the blowing Of the
soil. Straw or manure scattered on
the land is one of the best measures.
Cultivating strips three to four feet
wide at intervals of two or three rods
and at right angles to the direction
Of the prevailing winds is helpful.
The corn cultivator can be used.
Leave the soil rough. Burrows made
with the pillow will be still more eff
fective.
