Obtained Wool
In Many Ways

An afghan made by third grade
pupils Of the Horace Mann school
has just been completed and is on
display IN the Children's room at the
Fargo public library. 1t consists of
30 beautifully knitted squares. and in
a few days will be presented to the
Fargo branch Of the Red Cross. by
which it win be forwarded to divi-
sion headquarters for the use Of the
soldiers.
The children welcomed the idea of
making an afghan with much enthu-
siasm,, and many obtained bits of
yarn for their squares from relatives
in distant states. when that 1T home
was exhausted. The suggestion was
made by the teacher of this third
grade one morning. and that noon
one little girl ripped up pair of
bedroom slippers, washed and dried
the yarn, supplied herself with
needles and was ready TO begin work
that afternoon. ...
many taught to knit these squares
by the teacher. went home and
taught his mother to knit.
Another little boy, not having the
proper needles, learned to knit on
meat skewers, and still another
achieved a unique record by learning
on sharpened candy sticks, using cord
instead of yarn.
1t is surprising how much these
youthful knitters can accomplish.
One 7-year-old girl who had a part i'm
making this afghan, has made a
sweater. and two other girls who are
her classmates have made muffIers.
Z Another interesting feature in con-
nection with this afghan is that most
Of the work was done by boys, there
being 20. boys and only eight girls in
this room at the Horace Mann school.
A number Of them have taken their

Of 1917 provides that the women of
North Dakota may vote for presi-
dental electors, county surveyor,
county constable and all officers Of
cities, villages and towns except
police magistrate and justice Of

This gives the women Of North
Dakota an opportunity to vote for

Club and Guests
Hear Timely Talk

A postponed guest" meeting of the
FOrtnightly club was held Saturday
evening at the II. A. Klinsmann
home. Sixth street south, at which
the club members entertained their
husbands. The meeting was largely
attended and was OF unusual interest
( being featured BY a talk on Russia"
. BY Mrs. Fl. M. Rudd.
/ The speaker gave a very illumi-
mating talk, followed by an unusually
animated and valuable general dis
! cussion. In the course OF her ad-
dress Mrs. Rudd explained points Iit-
tie understood in this country. She
emphasized that the leaders Of the
Bolshevfki in Russia at present do
not represent the ideals and spirit
Of the vast majority, and that IL is
not in any degree correct to compare
the real Bolsheviki with the I. W. w.
element in America.
She also stated that the pro- Ger
man element controls the dispatchinE
in Russia. extending its influence to
the interpreters that are necessary,
and that as a result the people here
are often miainfOFmed. not through
any fault Of our correspondents, but
because Of the fact that almost no
outsider understands the social and
economic conditions under which the
peasants have lived, and their
wrongs. Mrs. Rudd'a descriptions OF
the social and home life Of the peas
ants I'm Russia gave q new impress
sion and q new understanding 10 her
audience Of the underlying causes OF
the present revolution, while her
simple statement OF the absolute au-
tocfacy which the former car had
represented. with it's vast evils,
showed how impossible Il will ever
be to reconcile the two factions. Mrs.
Rudd also pointed out the relation
between the church and state fin RUS
sis under the old regime and the
harm which had resulted from this
union.
IN line with the suggestion BY
President Wilson that there ought
70 be q wave OF community singing
in these war times. choral singing
was also q feature Of this Fortniaatly
meeting. It vas led BY W. y. Stock
ven. Mrs.. klinEn-ann acting az ac-
companiHt. and included patriotic
and other songs familiar To all pres

we're in charge Of ARA. a. II. Weeks
and Miss Clara Richards.
At the conclusion 81 the program
Refreshments "a keeping with the
conservation idea were served.

~ Aaeoclated PresE.l

Washington. March 1s.-Hoiland
on the eve Of her shipping being

readiness to make a voluntary
agreement to that purpose. even
agreeing that the ships shall be sent
through the war zone.
In view OF the continued pressure
upon The Netherlands by Germany
I'm opposition 10 such a step officials
here we're mystifed at the suddeR
change in the situation and began to
speculate upon what arrangements
Holland might have made with
Berlin.
It was stated in official quarters
that Holland probably would make
liberal concessions to Germany when
she turns the ships over 10 the allies,
but il was feared that the sudden
acquIescence with the long opposed
provision that the ships be sent
through the war zone. might indicate
that The Netherlands government
