Fargo, and it is attracting consider
able attention.
The largest part of the exhibit is
made up Of raffia baskets and warp
hammocks, while there is a small
showing Of the fancy needlework of
the girls of the institution, and ia
bles by the manual training stu
dents. These baskets are of varied
sizes and shapes and are made for
the most part in the natural colored
raffia, with designs in the dyed
straw. When one considers the
time and patience that at takes to
complete a perfect basket for one
having use of his eyes, the feat
of these blind children is truly re-
markable as designs are woven per-
fectly. These baskets are offered for
sale.
The warp hammocks are made for
the most part in the white warp
with different co1ors for decorations.
These articles are the regulation
size and show mu6l originality in
their construction.
The needle work exhibit is shown
not so much for its size but as a
proof of what the blind girls can do
in this line, which takes considerable
time. A collection of standard size
brooms, made at the institution is
also a. part Of the school exhibit.

Hostess House
Exhibit at Fair

A miniature hostess house is con-
Quoted by the Fargo ~ w. C. A. in
the booth in the Merchants PaviI-
ion. formerly occupied by Hubert
Harrington. This Is designed to give
the women of the state an idea of
how the work at the hostess houses
at the cantonments is carried on,
and of how the comforts Of the SOL
diers are cared for.
One Of the real pleasures of the
real hostess house is the open fire
place and this is faithfully dupli-
Gated in the booth. Cosy chairs
cushions and other homelike features
are a part Of the exhibit. On account
OF the small space, a cafeteria could
not be conducted, but as a special
treat to the soldiers in uniform, the
women in charge of the hostess
house, will serve them with home
made pie on Thursday afternoon.
Literature regarding the great
part that women are playing in the
world war, is widely sought and this
Is given out at the booth. Many in
quiries regarding the work are also
answered here.
The display Of aviation Jackets
made by the members Of the Bust
ness Girls club from scraps Of leath-
or collected from the residents OF
the city and county, is also attract
ing considerable attention. Some OF
these Jackets are really artistic when
the piecing Of the leather is con-
sidered. The foundations are made
on an inner lining and after the leath-
er jacket is sewed on, the whole is
covered with khaki which makes a
decidedly comfortable garment and
one that is greatly appreciated by
the aViators. Mrs. G. E. Graham
was in charge of the booth on Mon
day, and other members Of the asso-
citation will be in charge on the vari-
Gus days Of the week.

DRAIN EN CLIMBER
STUDIES PLAN OF
FLOOD CONTROL.
IN DAYTON ZONE
Puddled Earth Plan Of
Construction Works Out
Satisfactorily There

To get first hand facts on the
big Ohio flood control projects for
use in perfecting the Red river con-
troll plans, State Drainage Engineer
Hard has just made a trip to Day
ton. The North Dakota commission
and the state administration are
leaving no stone unturned to meet
the federal interest in the Red river
valley. It is a tribute to the i'm
portance Of reclamation work here
that the war and agricultural depart
ments are supporting 1t in war
themselves as willing to push 1t as
a war measure for increased produc-
ton Of food.
At Dayton Col. Deeds, of the fed
eral air board, was home from Wash
ington. He is one of the three direc-
tors Of the Miami conservancy dis
trict, and with Messrs. Smith and
Kuhns, Of the financial end, and En-
gineers Paul and Goodner extended
every facility possible to Engineer

Big Dam Projects.
About Dayton in the Miami river
valley, five big flood control dams
are actually being constructed.
II is nard TO describe the scenes
ofhustling and activity attending the
big work." said Mr.. Hard. THE dams
range from SIS to 100 feet high and
from 5000 feet to over mile in
length. Construction is going on
simultaneously on all projects.
twenty-five million dollars in bonds

took special permission from Sec

an emergency measure.
"All will remember the terrible
flood disaster in Ohio in 1913 which
took hundreds Of lives and Destroy
ed many millions Of dollars in prop

sight to construct dams, canals,
levees and the necessary means to
prevent even these seldom occurring
floods.
There are many points in COM
mon in the possible means of con-
trolling the, floods in the Red and
Miami valleys, and the engineers
agree that floods Of the Red river
can more easily and much : more
cheaply be controlled.

Big Crowds See
Strand Offering

ITO Hell With the Kaiser" a
seven-reel feature patriotic produc-
ton, opened at the Strand theater
Monday for an all-week run. The
startling title of this Screen ~Clas-
sizes, Inc, picture is enough to COM
mend it at once to patriotic people,
and a big audience was present 10
see the production: The spectators
were enthusiastic In their applause.
+ ITO He'll With the Kaiser" is a
clever commingling Of fact and
fancy. The war lords Of Germany,
the "Potsdam gang" presided over
by Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, are
shown planning the conquest Of the
world. To each is allotted a nation
as a. reward,-the United States, re-
served for the last, intended for the
crown prince. The now historic in
cidents are shown in which Wilhelm
the monster, tore up the treaty OF
Belgium, declaring it to be only "a
scrap Of paper" and acknowledging
to the world that he disregarded all
honor and decency. The sacking OF
Belgium, the, burning Of converts
and the violation of nuns and young
girls are indicated in a way that
makes the blood boil with righteous
indignation against the Huns, but
these matters are delicately handled.
The adventures Of an American
family form the plot around which
the romance centers. Professor Mon
roe has perfected a wireless inven-
ton which the kaiser is trying to
obtain, but which he refuses to yield
except to his own government. The
professor secures his passports, and
goes to Belgium to get his youngest
daughter, Ruth, only to find her dy-
ing as the result of an assault. on
the convent by the crown prince and
his men. He is shot down when he
protests, and Alice. the older daugh-
ter, devotes her life to avenging her
sister. Making use of her. acquaint~
ance with an actor, who is hired to
impersonate the kaiser, to keep his
person safe from the crowds, she is
introduced to the crown prince, and
through hinN brings about the cap
ture Of the kaiser.
