Dave Paul, David Goldberg and J. M.
Dampf were hostesses to a social af-
ternoon Monday given at the Temple.
The entire affair was very original,
the invitations issued read:
Bring a needle,
A Thimble, too
And we'll give you
Some work to do"
Each guest was met at the door and
her waist measure was taken, the
price Of admission was a penny for
every inch. This caused quite a bit Of
amusement as some Of the "stouter"
ladies refused to be measured. Mrs.
Dave Friedner received the prize for
the smallest waist measure and Mrs.
Joseph Alexandria the largest.
The first feature of the afternoon
was spent in hemming articles used
for the Da yNursery. A prize was
awarded Mrs. H. Setback for being the
first to finish hers.
The main feature was a style show.

made her own hat out Of crepe paper,

THEY FIGHT FOR OUR HEALTH
Money Received from Sale of Christ
mas Seals Benefits Everybody

There is nothing in the world so
valuable and so important as little
child. There is nothing so pathetic
as little child who is sick and suf-
fering. What better work can we do
than save the children from disease
and make them rugged and happy?
There is no disease that we must fight
harder and more persistently than tu-
berculosis. We know that about 5000
Of tuberculosis is contracted in child
hood, and that there is about one
chance in three that child from one
to seven years of age is already in
fected with tuberculosis, but this ought
not discourage us for it is also true
that in childhood the disease may be
much more easily and quickly cured.
The little Christmas Seals, which you
and others bought last winter and
helped start on their mission Of health
giving and life-saving, are carrying
on the fight for better health for the
children.
It was the ancestors of the Christ
mas Seals which, in 1915, started the
great modern health crusade move
|ment among the children of our schools
"a movement which has now spread
throughout the. country. The health
crusade has discovered means of in
teresting and inducing the children to
put into practice certain rules Of hy-
giene and health habits which physi-
ology and hygiene only teach. It has
been called the greatest health move
ment Of our day. It improves the
child physically and prevents disease.
It promotes moral discipline and awak-
ems individual and community respon-
sibility.
This year over 10000 North Dakota
children are being given the opportun-
ity Of building up their resistance to
the disease by becoming Health Cru

LIGHTING PLANT
CHANGES SHANDS
General Utilities Corporation is Sue.
ceeded by Midwest Power Co. and
Many Changes are Planned
LEASE OFFICE IN WRIGHT BLoCK
Modern Building to Be Constructed o,
North Western Right of Way

An important business change was
made known this week when it was
announced that the General Utilities
corporation, which recently went into
the hands Of a receiver, had disposed
Of it's holdings to the Midwest Power
company.
1t had been rumored for some time
that an important deal was in the
making, but nothing definite was given
out for publication until few days
ago.
The new company has many extern
sive changes in mind, some Of which
will be made Immediately and others
as soon as possible.
The current will be changed from
direct to alternating in order that pat
rons living some distance away may
be given adequate service. A new
200-h. p. steam engine and 2O0-kilo-
watt A. G. generator will be installed
within a short time at the old plant
for temporary use. Later on new,
modern building will be erected along
the North Western right Of way be-
tween the Salzer coal yards and A. L.
Freeman's office. All the machinery
will then be moved to the new loca-
ton, and new equipment added as
needed.
Manager Wilson made arrangements
with A. r. Wright this week for the
use Of the corner room in the Wright
block as an Office, where all business
with the public will be transacted. He
will continue at the old building for q
short time, however.
The company's plans include one for
furnishing service to nearby towns
which have not the advantage of elec-
tric light and power, and Mr.. Wilson
assures US that the new power plant
will be one of the best in North Da-
kota, one Of which the city may justly
be proud.
Changing over the current from di-
rect to alternating entails an enor-
nous outlay Of money. Every motor
in Oakes will have to be replaced, az
will all heating elements in electric
irons, stoves, etc., and some time will
elapse before all this is accomplished
but the North American creamery will
be operating on alternating current by
the first Of January, or very shortly
afterward.
It is to be hoped that relations be.
tween the new company and it's pat.
rons will be pleasant and that some
of the matters which have caused
friction at different times during the
past will be eliminated.
The city needs better power plan,
than the one here now and it is be-
lieved the concern will find that the
investment about to be made will
prove most remunerative one.

It is written, or was dictated by n. NJ.

"My dear Mr.. Seifert: Replying to

New Piano Arrives

The little .Miessner school piano pre-
sented to the school by the graduating
class last spring finally arrived just
before the vacation Of last week. 1t
has been installed in Miss Ewen's
class room, and the schedules have
been arranged so that a number Of the
grades now come to her room for their
music periods. The advantage Of hav-
ing accompaniment helps out the
singing wonderfully.
A large number Of the patrons Of
the school were interested in looking
over the new piano at the recent sup
per for the community gymnasium,
where it received it's initiation at the
hands Of Miss Thomas in providing
the piano accompaniments for the high
school orchestra. The tiny instrument
is only 3 feet 2 inches high, so low
that the person seated playing it can
look right over the top at class sing
ing, which makes it possible for Miss
Even to conduct her music classes
and play her own accompaniments al
the same time. The marvel Of the
diminutive piano is where it gets all
that tone.
It is the first instrument of it's kind
to have been seen in this part Of the
country, and is quite a curiosity. Su.
perintendent Gould saw one on exhi.
bition at a national meeting Of super.
intendents in Cleveland couple Of
years ago, and was so impressed that
he gave such a glowing description te
the senior class Of last spring that
they decided to make it gift to the

FRENCH HERO
= IS WELCOMED
Marshal Fock is Given Rig Oystion
When His Special Train
, s Reaches Bismarck
GREETED BY INDIAN CHIEFTA1N
Smokes Pipe of Peace with NORTH
Dakota Redskin

Marshal Foch was the guest Of
North Dakota Sunday, official welcome
being rendered him in Bismarck, where
the only stop Of the day Of any con-
sequence was made.
For two hours the man who really
won the war, the supreme commander
of all the allied armies in France, was
the recipient Of hospitality such as
the people Of Bismarck dispense SO
well, and who in this instance acted
for all of the people Of the state in
receiving the distinguished visitor who
is making swing around the rim Of
the United States aboard a special
train as the guest of the American
Legion.
During his brief stay in Bismarck,
Marshal Foch was received by the
governor and other officials Of the
state; he attended special mass in
the Catholic church; smoked the pipe
Of peace with Red Tomahawk Of the
Dacotah Sioux; was given the name
of Charging Thunder" by the Indi-
ans; addressed gathering that filled
the Bismarck auditorium to capacity,
declaring his appreciation Of the SER
vices Of the Dakotas in the World
war, visited the Liberty Memorial
building and the cabin Of Theodore
Roosevelt on the state capitol grounds,
and was made honorary commander
Of the North Dakota department Of
the American Legion for the period
Of his stay in the state.
Fresh from Minneapolis and st.
Paul, in which cities remarkable hon
ors had been bestowed upon him, Mar
shall Foch awakened Sunday morning
to find his train speeding across the
prairies Of North Dakota. He evinced
unusual interest in the scene, accord
ing to members Of his party, and pos
sessed much information concerning
the character Of the country through
which he was passing and it's import
ance in the feeding Of the allied ar
mics in the war.
The Foch special passed through
Fargo at sos a. M, and was boarded
by Major j. M. Hanley Of Mandan,
member Of the American Legion COM
mittee in charge Of the Foch tour;
Adjutant General G. Angus Fraser,
representing the governor; Phil Bangs
Of Grand Forks, commander Of the
North Dakota department Of the Am.
erican Legion; J. P. Williams, depart
ment adjutant, and Charles Boyle and
M w. Murphy, representing the Far.
jgoi Legion post.
j At Jamestown several hundred peo-
pie were at the station when the train
passed through there about 7:45, but
Marshal Foch and his party were still
asleep, 10 they were disappointed.
