Seemed to Be Living Their Parts
Rather Than Acting

The operetta "a Dream of Fairy.

preciative audience Friday evening. It,
was the first one to be given entirely
by children.
The opening chorus, sung by the
Girls Giee Club and directed by Miss
Graham, were very artistic.
The five soloists, Gladys Nepstad.
Hazel Taylor, Mildred Wilson, Clifton
Swanson and Oliver Handy, Sang with
ease and ability that was delight to
their audience. The angels warning
by Bernice Rcko and Alice Root was;
very sweetly rendered. The dance of
the good fairies given under the direc-
ton of Miss Hummel was graceful and
pretty
The costuming of the good and evil
fairies was most effective and the sing
ing by these choruses was one of the
best features of the evening. The
little sprites who won the evil fairies,
captivated their audience as well and
won the applause of the evening" They
were under the direction of Miss Mich
OILS and in their bright red costumes
gave as pretty a drill as ever was
shown by small tots.
The patriotic speciality by the Girls
Glee Club and four high school boys
was arranged by Mr.. Blume and was
enthusiastically encored.
Miss Matte Mitchell. who has been
the yuidinp Snjrit in tho Onarettac for
years past, had the children so well
drilled and so enthusiastic. that each
one lived, rather than acted, the part
assigned.
Miss Cora Fuller did the accompany
ing for the entire program.

ICE CONSERVATION
IS ALSO ASKED
TO THE CITIZENS GENERALLY:

~ lHC CIIlLENS GENERALLY:
The following letter was received by
me, parts of which l am inclosing,
herewith. At a recent meeting of the
executive committee it was decided to
bring it to the attention of the public
and especially ice-dealers and farmers.
The letter follows:
Secretary /;
Commercial Club,
Oabes, North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
The following extract from a Fed
eral bulletin will interest your COM
munity: "The annual harvest of nat.
ural ice in this country must this year
be greater than ever before. Ex-
plosives and other articles entering in
to the war have created an enormous
demand for ammonia. Tremendous
quantities of ammonia are each year
utilized in the manufacture of artificial
ice. This ammonia will not be avail
able next summer to use in artificial
Ice machines. The shortage of ice
during the warm weather in 1918
would result in untold waste of perish
able goods in the homes, in small
creameries and other establishments
dependent on constant ice service.
There is little hope to increase the
output of ammonia, which is chiefly
a product of gas plants, and by-pro-
duct of coke ovens. Hence, the neces-
sity of conserving by every possible
means the normal supply"
'The surest means Of avoiding an
ice shortage is large harvest OF nat
ural ice, stored locally, so as to make
country establishments Independent OF
the output of ice factories"
Yours very truly,
G.. PORTERFIELD,
Explosives Inspector
North Dakota.
Everyone who is in position to do SO,
should store as much ice as possible
n order that the supply in Oakes may
lot be exhausted before cold weather
;,gain approaches.
Yours,
CLARENCE E. BLUME>
Secretary
Oakes Commercial Club.

There have been many Inquiries

Ignorance is no excuse. Let us be

WAR To TEACH
PUBLIC HYGIENE
Army Life More HeaIthfuI Than
Civilian and Men Are
Greatly Benefited.

WASHINGTON, Aug. o: = Army
medical men predict that the big lesf
son of the war, as affecting civil lifa
in the United States, will be a better
application of hygiene and s~anitationk
They point out that the great eco@
nomic saving, brought about by army
health rules, will be so impressed on
the public that nothing short of dug
plication of the most fundamental OF
those rules will suffice.
Records show the tremendous ad@
vantage of the soldier over hiA
brother In peaceful pursuits. TakN
typhoid fever, for instance. Over n
| period of one year there were zoo
deaths from typhoid among every mill
lion men of military age outside the
army. For that same period only
thirteen soldiers suocumbed to ty4i
phoid. I
Vaccination. plus a knowledge q
sanitation and a superior ability tor
apply the knowledge accounts for th~
army's health record.
The success of the army in reduce
ing disease shows the vital need %
better public health control" says Coli
D. G. Howard, chief of the sanitation
division In the medical corps. 'Tyt
phoid fever can be made as rare az
smallpox. The war Is bringing out the
possibilities of wonderful economic
saving through application Of sane
health laws" n
Pneumonia, which causes sixty{
| three per cent. of all the deaths in the
| army, Is still fatal less often In mili&
| tary than in civil life.
| Contrary to the average laymany
| belief, venereal diseases are about "a
per cent. less among soldiers than
civilians.
