On tbe afternoon of the Third Day
the Imperial Russian Quartette will
render the full program and they
will also provide a musical prelude
for tbe evening* This clever groupe
of Slavic musicians will bring to life
the wierd and mystic music of tbe
great wbite realm. In tbeir brilliant
Russian costumes, with bright red
jackets, they present a picture of
picturesqueness-and their performance on tbe Russian Balalaikas is one
feature of their program tbat is of
universal interest wherever they go.

Fiscner'e Exposition Orchestra witb
a complete double concert at night
and a marvelous musical prelude in
tbe afternoon. This is the surprise

was another like it and tbe treat it

familiar with the characteristics of
tbese birds tbat tbe experiment wili
prove a success. Eggs are being produced on a farm near Mason and
shipped around the state, the State
Game Warden and deputies looking
after tbe matter. The eggs of course
are batched by bens and wben the
young birds reach tbe proper age they
ara released when, trne to tbeir instinct, they make for tbe woods and

Already ten sittings or ISO eggs

will of course be of interest to his I
friends bere:
A note to you to let you and the
Clare County folks know the whereabouts and welfare of two of the
boys tbat are proud to call that county their own. We arrived late in the
evening and walked a mile through
rain to tbe receiving office where we
weie assigned cur company and barracks. Next morning wc were shown
bow to police our quarters, which
means making up our bunks, dusting
the woodwork, mopping the floors,
sweepiug the streets, and in short
learning that cleanliness is next to
dicipline in tbis man's army. 1 believe I bave done more house-
cleaning tbis past week than some
women do in a year.
The food i 8 excellent—clean,
wholesome and all one wants of it.
All the training we get here is in tbe
"school of the soldier." From here
tbe boys are sent to various colleges
for special training. I may end up in
Fargo, S. I). Nothing is certain in
the army just now, except this, that
if all American soldiers show the
same enthusiasm aud "pep" tbat the
boys bere do, final victory is not far
off. and a clean, glorious victory it
will be.
I ask this means to send my re-
garde to all my friends in Ciare Co.
My message to you, tbe folks back
home, ie tbis. Be Americans al! tbe
way through. Let every word, every
thought, every action be for the support of tbe American army and tbe
war activities. Words cannot express what the Y. M. C. A. means to
tbe boys. Music, reading matter,
entertainment of all kinds, a smile
and a word of cheer are furnished by
the"Y." Support it to the limit of
your reecources, then borrow to
support it further. Let everyone
keep the winning of tbe war uppermost in tbeir minds. Your boy are
not failing you. See that you don't
fail them? Tbe day will tben soon
come wben we can all face home
again, proud of the victory we have
won and proud of you for the support you gave na.

Eggs are being produced on a farm near Mason and shipped around the state, the State Game Warden and deputies looking after tbe matter. The eggs of course are batched by bens and wben the young birds reach tbe proper age they ara released when, trne to tbeir instinct, they make for tbe woods and shift for themselves. Already ten sittings or ISO eggs have been plapeci in various parts of tbecounty and with people who agree to strictly follow directions.
