original decorations employed, and
| the menu cards, which we're in verse
| The verses had been taken from a
! conservation magazine, but the cards
were further adorned with small pic
| lures Of DR.. f. F. Ladd, president of
| the A. G. and state director for the
National Food administration, and of
Herbert G. Hoover. Down. one side
OF the card, were other small pic
lures which very cleverly illustrated
the viands served. The menu cards
were headed, Conservation MENU
Know, and the verses read as fol-
| lows:
The Fruit-Cock-Tailor averred
That at cutting he was a bird
He cut out the sugar
Said honey was goOder
Any other idea was absurd.
The Turkey who's fond of boasting<
To the fellow who eats
No substitute meats
And send him where there's no
coasting.
The Pota-Tow-Head clamored with
zeal,
You'd better eat all of my peel.
It's carefully scrubbed
And with oleo rubbed,
And really quite At for a meal.
The onions scalloped and sputtered
And caused many tears as they NUT
tered;
We've been much abused,
Won't be longer misused,
For our troops are very well mustard.
The little Corn-Pon-y Just smiled,
And looked so gentle and mild;
But when he was beaten,
And Drowned to be eaten,
He was terribly cut up and wild.
The little Butter-Pat must run
From his one time place in the sun;
With me you'll agree
That the cocoanut tree
Gives us excellent oil for a bun.
The Pastry-Kin pulled up and blus-
TIL they poured all over him custard:
He was made of barley,
And so couldn't parley;
BUT Salu1 Oh N.Y. m 50 mustered.
The Conree-Bee-n buzzed in great
glee,
Substitutes will never sting me.
Though sweets I may lack,
I'm good when I'm black,
To this I'm sure you'll agree.
A miniature depot occupied the Gen.
ter OF the table, complete even to the
detail of several trains ready to de-
part. The name Of this station was
''Farmdale", and on the platform
awaiting their train were Miss
Wheat, a bride, Ham, CARRIED as a
man, Cow" and "Carnation Milk.
At the ends Of the table were posters
carried by miniature people who prov
ed to be real vegetables ingeniously
disguised. The posters all bore the
message. we will win the war.
With potato paste as a basis, and
vegetable coloring used to achieve
the tinting, tiny market baskets had
been made in the form of vegetables
and were filed with candies, these
being used as faVors.
The dinner was perhaps the most
novel ever served to a North Dakota
gathering of this kind, and the war
foods themselves were so we'll pre-
pared as to increase the patriotic en-
thusiasm for conservation.

a sincere liking for the standard
operas and welcome a chance to hear
them intelhgently and adequately
presented.
Those in the latter class were Civ
en- a real treat by that excellent or
ganization, the San Carlo Opera COM

Verdi's operas, Aida, last evening,
before an audience which about two
thirds filled the auditorium.
In all that is essential in opera,
the San Carlo company is wholly
adequate. It's stars are separated

FARGO War Relief Report.

A fine days work was done
Wednesday at the meeting of the
Fargo War Relief association, held as
usual in the Y. w. C. A. gymnasium.
Twenty were present in all, only a
part Of that number working all
day. They made 20 Of the pneu-
monia jackets and a large number
of the surgical dressings, particular
lv the small ones used for drains.
The surgical dressings work was I'M
der the supervision OF Mrs. Aubrey
Lawrence. Much interest is evident
among this group of women in
making the Carroll pads, which are
named after a famous French
surgeon and used especially in his
hospital work. A number Of these
were made Wednesday. The as
ISOLATION received a generous dona-
ton OF articles from the w. G. T. u.
Anyone who wishes to do Red Cross
work with this organization will be
made welcome, whether member
now Of the association or not.

Coler Campbell, director of mill
tary relief OF the Northern division
Of the American Red Cross, in
which North Dakota is located, has

This arrangement will be follow

Operas oers are divided into sew

There are those who are led like
sheep to the slaughter, in blissful ig-
norance OF what is coming to them,
There are those who attend with
the purpose of passing an evening
with a minimum of pleasure and a
maximum of social eclat.
There are the members Of the
phonograph brigade who are bent on
comparing the artists with their
records.
There are those who just go, be-
cause everyone else is going.
And there are those who freely
recognize that opera is stilted and

rank, chiefly by a gaping void OF
unsecured notoriety.
The only feature which married
what would have been a most sat-
isfying production was not the fault
of the company. The acoustics OF
Fargo's auditorium. the improvised
dressing rooms, the lack Of proper
stage exits and entrances, and the
confusion of the movable seats do
not make for smooth and even per-
Torrance OF grand opera.
The brilliant Spanish tenor of tbs
San Carlo forces appeared in the
role of Radames and received gener5
GUS applause on several occasions,
notable for the Celeste Aida" aria
The soprano role of Aida was in
the hands of Luisa Darclee, and tha
mezzo part of Amneris was sung by
Stella Demette. Both singers possess
voices Of notable tonal purity. That
sterling artist, Natalie Cervi, is stil
with the company, and his excellent
basso was heard to good advantage
in the role Of the king. Pietro Di
Biasi as the high priest has slight
nasal quality to his notes which is
missing in the work of Cervi, but his
work was wholly satisfying despite
this. Joseph Roger completed the
cast as Amonasro, king of Ethiopia.
