number given by the Hawaiian
Kids" who demonstrated sweet music
such as only artists on the south
ern ukulele can make. Mr.. Ander-
son and Miss Krakow did this num-
Der and their imitation of the real
artist and also their makeups were
both splendid.
The fourth number on the program
was recital showing -Four gener-
atoms Of love-" which was very com
ical. This was given by Miss Gold
berg, Miss Fisk, Miss RalIow and
Mrs. Spare, who for the short time
they had to practice and the cos
tunes they wore, showed good work.
The fifth act was a very dificuIt
one, a tight rope walk which was
given by Mr.. Gilbert, who took the
part Of Madam Gazella.
A very laugha,ble act was a dem
tai scene in a doctors ONCE, given
by Mrs. Spare, Miss Clark and Mrs.
MCCARTHY. This certainly was a high
class act and won much applause.
The seventh act was a suffragette
speech by Mrs. F'yles, who was
dressed to represent a speaker of the
extreme suffrage" type. 1t would
nave been a credit to many plat
form speakers.
Inc last act was q reading by
Mrs. Spare, entitled Johnny at the

Fargo Red Cross Gets Donation
Of Spindle For Winding Yarn

Prof George w. Weller, Of the
Fargo Conservatory faculty, this
morning donated to the Fargo branch
Of the Red Cross a device, made by
himself, that will prove Of great con-
venience in winding yarn, thereby
saving one woman's work every time
a skein OF yarn is made ready for a
knitter. Instead of it being neces-
sary now for one to hold and another
to wind the skein, the one who is
winding can place the yarn on this
spindle and do that task alone. The
spindle is a neat and simple piece of
manual labor, fashioned with a
cross piece OF wood and having
pegs attached, so as to accommodate
any size skein. This cross piece
revolves on the spindle. AS many
