BJARNE MAKES
EXPLANATION
Will not Participate in May
Seventeenth Celebration L
This Year.

r. Lunseth, president, and o. H.
Bridston, secretary Of the Bjarne
singing society, today issued a state
ment in which they that
they have declined to take part in this
years Norwegian May seventeenth
celebration, now being planned by the
central committee of other societies
in the city.
The statement refers to the fact
that allusion has been made to the
Barnes refusal to take part in the
demonstration, and on that occasion
1t was said that no reasons had been
given; continuing. the statement says:
1T is true the chorus declined the
invitation. but not without having
given various reasons for their deci-
sion. 1t is sufficient, however, to state
here that the majority of the mem
bers felt that it was not in keeping
with the present critical times to get
together on May II. And we also be-
lieved that the nine members of the
Bjarne chorus. o with the colors,
would have taken the same stand"
In connection with the statement it
was pointed out today that the Bjarne
singers took part in last years cele-
hration on May II. six weeks after
the outbreak Of hostilities between
the United States and Germany. 1t
reported that this action was in
consequence of a promise having been
given before the outbreak of the war.
Meanwhile. the central committee
is continuing to make its preparations
for what promises to be, as one of
the members said this afternoon. IAN
impressive demonstration which will
show all the world that Americans of
Morse descent are loyal to the very
bottom Of their hearts. and that they
are as. willing to give their all for
Americas and democracy's cause as
are all those of pure American
descent" -
The proceeds of the May II cele-
bration will go to the fund Of the 10
cal chapter of the American Red
Cross.

TEACH FARMERS WITH FILMS
Department Of Agriculture is Well
Pleased With the Success of Its
"Moving Picture" Campaign.

So well pleased is the department of
agriculture with the results of its
propaganda campaign with moving
pictures that it is preparing to more
than double the number of reels to be
sent out the coming six months, says
New York Times. The film pro-
duction during the fall and winter is
to- be about i 900 feet week, mainly
for the purpose of boosting conserva-
tion and food production, besides one
film a week in preparation for the
spring campaign for bigger crop yields
larger acreage and fair prices.
Pictures on the handling of beef
cattle, clean milk production, the
''cootie." taken in cooperation with
the army surgeon generals office; cord
wood production through Improvement
cuttings in farm woodlands, and prize
, dairy cattle throughout the United
States are now in progress of filming
! Pictures Of hog raising TO be taken in
Kansas and Iowa, of cattle in the ma
tional forests of the Pacific coast, and
the work Of Uncle Sans sheep clubs
are yet to be filmed.
The department intends to broaden
/ greatly its plan of educational distribu-
ton, through the medium of the exten-
sion departments of the state agricul-
tural colleges, to all educational agen-
cies throughout the states.

BEADED NOVELTIES ARE HERE
Woven Chains for Neck Wear Among
the Attractive Trinkets Which
Have Been Imported.

Among the trinkets which have been
imported to this country and are sell
ing in various places are chains to be
worn around the neck. To say that
they are woven does not in the least
degree describe the intricacy of the
patterns and designs.
One, for instance, of electric blue
and silver beads, is woven in patches
about an inch and a half long by a
half inch wide, strung together by a
dozen or more strands of the beads, on
straight strings, these strands being,
again, about two inches; in length. AT
the end, for a pendant, there is a
square, dangling midway between the
throat and waist, woven in an en-
largement of the pattern displayed in
the other bits of weaving. The pat
tern is not distinct. 1t has an elusive
way with it, being a design in the
silver with background of the SHIN
mering blue beads.
This chain, or whatever you wish to
call it, was worn with a street gown
of black satin. The gown itself was
entirely without trimming and it had
one of those very popular and beauti-
full neck lines reaching in a straight
line from shoulder to shoulder. This
enabled the chain to show against the
whiteness of skin for space, and then
to appear shining against the shiny
blackness of the satin. The effect was
decidedly interesting, and the beads
held ones attention as a beautiful
jewel might have done.
