STATE CONTEST.

The State Dec1amatory Contest
in Madison last Friday evening was
a most excellent exhibition of the
deClamatory art. 1t was the best
state contest in the history of the
organization. Where so many are
SO good and only one can win there
must be six, where there are seven
speakers, who are not winners.
These six may be more or less dis
appointed. River Falls was some
what disappointed last week, but
still proud of it's speaker. The
decision of the judges gave us sixth
place. We should have been pleas
ed if it had been higher but we have
no complaint. The contest this
year was different from others in
that only the first from each dis
trict spoke. AS a result, the speak
ers were all of the first class, all
had won their right to speak at
Madison by winning three success
sive contests. They were the cream
of the state. 1t was an honor to be
in their class. Some of them had
been in state contests before. Miss
Ferber, winner of the contest, was
there for her third time. Twice she
had won second place. This time
she won first.
For this contest Miss Odell was
at her best. She was natural, ami
mated, vivid in description. But
her piece had already been spoken
once during the evening, and spok-
en- we'll. 1t put Miss Ode1l at a big
disadvantage. While we only got
sixth place, we feel that Miss Ode1l
is to be congratulated on her work,
and that the school is to be con-
graduated on having so worthy a
represen tative.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The weather on Saturday, Mem
orial Day, was devoid of storms, a
contingency that had been anxious
ly considered, but it was little too
cool for gauze dresses and open
work shirt waists, but man with
good thick overcoat on could keep
comfortably warm on the inside of
windbreak. However there was a
fairly good attendance upon the ex-
ercises in the cemetery and the con-
duct of the assembled people was
strictly in harmony with the occa-
sion. The parade included the
members of the /. N. Nichols Post
and other veterans of the civil war,
the resident Spanish war veterans,
members of the Woman's Relief
Corps, retinue of little girls dress
ed in red, white and blue and car
rying baskets of flowers, succeeded
by citizens. The parade was head
ed by the River Falls brass band.
The program at the Cemetery
was carried out as published last
week. All the numbers were ex-
cellently rendered.
