columns for amusement in prefer
ence to the funny papers. Here are
few typical samples which be-
speak the despair Of a war worker
trying to live in the capital.
confssses Desperation.
The first woman confesses at the
| outset that she is desperate. She
says so. Here is her plaint
Desperate: Does anyone feel
enough patriotic duty to accommo-
date a refined widow OF an army
surgeon with a cheerful room?
Another feels the stigma of the
men only" policy. She pleads:
'Will some kind woman who has
a room not for men only rent
furnished room to two Canadian
girls. Don't want to rent the whole
house-just one ROOM"
Some others confess the faith they
have in the old adage that ut pays
to advertise" The first says:
Does it pay to advertiser S2s
to any person intending to advertise
an apartment or housekeeping rooms
Of any kind who will give me such
information in advance"
The other is even more positive
in his faith that advertising will
bring results. He says
Never failed to get yet what /
wanted by advertising. Everybody
tells me no use.' I say you're wrong!
So here goes Middle aged gentle
man desires rooms" ETC., etc.
Another seeker breaks into rhyme.
She advertises thus
Il need a place, a little space,
To hang my cape and bonnet:
A bed some chairs, no cooking cares
Just a single room-doggone iti'
Another seems a bit peeved be-
cause no one seems to take him in.
He advertises in this fashion:
II left a comfortable home when
came here to do war work. Will
not some patriotic citizen take me
in?"
Still another delivers an ultimatum
thus:
Must have a room within a week,
or return home. ! am one OF the
undesired war workers, but / am
quiet and orderly as any man and
do not smoke" ETC., etc.
Another fellow has 400 talking
machine records, all classical' and
thinks they will be good bait to get
him in, so he advertises for fami-
ly which has machine. Others ad-
vertise they have been used all, our
lives to good furniture and will not
mar it."
There are too many others to
describe them ALL but compiled in
one volume they would be no less
a human tradegy than Comedy HUI

SMOKE IN FARGO.

The air in Fargo yesterday and to-
day was suggestive OF the rires that
have been raging in northern MINI
nesota, the odor of smoke in the air
and the fiery blaze of the sun en-
phasizlng the horrible conditions that
exist in the neighboring state. The
wind blowing from the northwest
brought the odor of smoke. II has
been many years since North Dakota
was reached by smoke from forest
fires in the adjoining state.
