Tonight there’s an entertain- ment given for them by the Woman’s Auxiliary to Companies A and I, an organization that has done more for the individual boy in khaki than any other in the Capital City. ‘Will Bis- marckers pack the beautiful play- house tonight so that these messages of love which the auxiliary sends to the far away place in “no man’s land” be made possible? The auxiliary has secured Miss An- gela Murray Gibson, noted Scotch singer and impersonator, to give one of her famed entertainments.: She will be assisted by Prof. James Simp-| son, Scottish dancer, who will dance to the music of the bagpipes playel by. Duncan Gordon. In addition Henry Halverson of this city will sing and O'Connor's orchestra will play. Miss Gibson has charmed audiences in all the large cities of the east and west. Her art is so well recognized that she was engaged to direct “The | will be charged for admittance. Northern: Division Sets Knitting Pace for wi hole Country From the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, comes the word that the Northern Division leads the whole country in knitting Red Cross articles. In the production of socks, mufflers and wristlets, Red Cross workers in the Northern Divis- ion are setting the pace for other di- visions,. in sweater production they are holding their own and in helmet making the yare below the division average, according to statistics com- piled by Harry B. Wallace, assistant director general for the department of military relief. ‘Figures compiled by Mr. Wallace show the distribution of knitted ar- ticles by the various divisions up to January 1, 1918. Only articles actual- ly distributed to. soldiers at the var- ious camps and cantonments and over- seas are included. According to these figures the Red Cross has distributed up to January 1, 1918, 774,752 sweat- ers, 302,121 pairs of socks, 298,569 wristlets, 252,263 mufflers, and 98,226 helmets. Of. this number the North- ern Division workers have produced 57;195 sweaters, 77,034 pairs of socks, 42,925 wristlets, 33,357 mufflers and 2,748 helmets. “The Burleigh county chapter has been ‘quite a factor in placing the Northern Division before other di- visions: in the United States. Large shipments of knitted articles leave the local headquarters semi-weekly. Nearly , 600 knitters. are working on articles in’ Bismarck alone, while the women of: the. rural districts are keeping up their. share of the work. The last report made by the executive board of the Burleigh county chapter showed that two large shipments left the ‘nadonarters in January. Miss Agnes Orr is in charge of the knitted work vs tne-chapter. The oné great problem facing the lo- cal chapter is the lack of funds to carry on this stupendous work. The headquarters now resemble a large manufacturing plant so many people are working and it takes over $1,000 a month to’ buy supplies to furnish the volunteers. * The various organizations of the city are coming to the aid by giving benefit entertainments, and private subscriptions are aiding in this great work. From Mr. Wallace comes the word that the officers in practically all the camps are cooperating with the Red Cross in making distribution of the rarments. In many cases the sol- ders are granted knitted articles only vpon their written application that they have no such articles and need one. Then they receipt for the article and are required to account for it the frame as for any other part of their equipment. This system Mr, Wallace cays, is doing away with duplication ond confusion, supplying the men equally and fairly and discouraging the practice of workers shipping di- rect to indivdual solders. FEDERATION BOARD MEETS IN FARGO Mrs, Minnie Clarke Budlong and Mrs. Fred 1... Conklin, members of the board and council of the Federation of Women’s clubs, left Tuesday for Fargo,,where they will attend the an- nual meeting of the board and council which convened there today, The ses- sions are being held in Ceres hall ot the state agricultural college.

Vick of Cavalier, presi- dent of. the State Federation, together with the other members of the board and ‘council,’ will ‘consider: the great «question of the women’s share in the. work for world democracy.,..The key- note of the work outlined for the year will be patriotism .and how best the women of ‘North Dakota can serve the government.

To the music of the bagpipes played by Mr. Gordon, this part of the program will ke complete. Mr. Halverson needs no introduction to a Bismarck audi-| ence. The very announcement of his annearance on a program is sufficient | to create interest. He will sing as; one cf his numbers Lohr's “Little Grey | Home in the West.” M. J. O'Connor. and his:players have shown what true patriotism is. No individual or organ- ization has done more for the cause of democracy than Bismarck’s own orchestra. The program begins at 8:15, and the nominal fee of 50 cents of her daughters are training for nurses in the Bismarck hospital in or- der to relcase other nurses for Red Cross work. Red Cross. Magazine Should Be in Every Bismarck H ome The great importance of the Red ‘Cross magazine is to keep the work of the organization before the puvlic and to give an outline of just what is needed.
