Lilly Mattson, who was referred to
as ''the lily Of the Red River Valley
spoke of that far famed region in
part as follows:
TheRedRiverV alley is located in the
heart of North America, equidist. MT
from the Artic Ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico, and midway between the
Atlantic and Pacific. The valley
proper extends from Lake Traverse to
Lake Winnipeg, a distance of about
800 miles and is from 25 to IS miles
wide. --
Once the bed of the glacial Lake
Agassiz, with an area of about
11o,0 900 square miles, larger than the
whole state Of Minnesota, it is now
the greatest wheat farming region in
the whole United States.

this commands the general confidence

Character creates confidence in men
in high station as we'll as in those OF
humble life. knowledge is power,
but in still greater sense, char
acter is power. Character is. in our
selves, reputation is in the minds of
others. Truthfulness, integrity and
goodness, qualities which hang upon
every MANS breath, form the essence
of good character, and he who pos
sesses these qualities united with a
strength of purpose, carries with him
a power which is strong to resist
evil and bear up under difficulties and
misfortune. There are many coun-
terfeits of character, but the genuine
are hard to mistake. Habits seem
slight at first. until they are too
strong to be broken. Nothwith-
standing the wall which we hear of
chiyalry which is gone, our own age
has witnessed deeds of bravery and
genUleness, of heroic self denial and
manly tenderness, which are unsur-
passable in History. IT,

David Johnson related the class his
tory in a very interesting manner,
saying in part as follows:
The class of 1906 came into
existence in the year 1902. Eacn and
every. one entered with the aim of
rendering himself more able to con-
uuer the difficulties OF the world
After the first uneyentful year of
hard study we again entered the High
School, as Sophomores. The first
event of that year was Mr.. Young's s
birthday party followed by the
Valentine party given by US in con-
nection with the Seniors. Then
Caesars etfigy was successfully burned.
Before the Glass of 1904 graduated,
We gave them an entertainment in
perfect japanese style.
AS Juniors we spent our time pro-
titably, the most important
event being Babel Social" given at
the home of Minnie Tullar.
This last year we have been quiet
studious and sober. AS customary we
gave class play, '.TheMillers' Daugh-
ter which was decidedly successful.
We cleared over a hundred dollars
with which we paid the debt of the
Athletic Association and purchased a
Macy Sectional book case for the
High School Library.

The Marshall County Teachers
Association that met at Stephen MAY

more teachers from the county and
few citizens of Stephen and vicinity
we're present. Miss Gecina Stockland
favored the association with couple

Levi Anderson spoke learnedly and
earnestly Oh Education. Its Struggles
and Triumphs. The following is a
synopsis of what he said::
We are now on the eve of parting.
In leaving these our beloved instruct
ors at whose feet it has been our good
fortune and pride to drink in the
words IF wisdom, we feel that we are
dragging lengthening chains, chains
that though the farther dragged the
heavier they become. shall ever keep
us bound in sympathy and love.
AS we linger mere for the exchange
of words of cheer, and bid each other
God speed, and receive the benediction
Of these noble lives of earnest devo-
tion to the cause of Truth, we are
impressed with the view before us.
There's a lesson in each flower,
A story in each stream and bower,
In every herb on whicn we tread,
Are written words which rightly
read,
Will lead US from earth's fragrant
sod
To hope and holiness and God.
With dream of the future each
graduate goes forth prepared forlife's
struggles, to meet the foe and reach
the top May friends be many and
foes be few.
1t is said of Alexander the Great,
that in his dying hour, he made the
strange request that his hands should
be exposed to viewwhen they all might
see that the conqueror OF the world
carries nothing with him.
The one thing we can take when
we bid farewell to time is what we are,
our character To improve this and
each others likewise, is lifess mission
Keep then your purpose full in view

Joe Schell spoke thoughtfully of the
part opportunity plays in life, and
how it is found by the observant and
the Industrious. He said in part:
Accident does little toward the
production Of great results in life.
Though sometimes what is called a
lucky hit" is made through bold
adventure, the steady industry and
application is the only safe road to
travel. If we investigate discoveries
which are said to have been made by
accident. it will be found that most
OF them have been opportunities care
fully improved by genius. +
1t is the Intelligent eye of the careful
observer which gives apparenlytrivial
phenomena their value. The act of
seizing opportunities and turning
even accidents to account. is a great
secret Of success. .=
1t is not accident then. that helps
a man in the world so much as pur-
pose and persistent industry.

From the qualities of the newly
discovered metallic element, Radium.
Minnie TuIlar drew some valuable
lessons for young people just starting
in life. She spoke in a clear, we'll
modulated voice, in part as follows:
Radium has the power to trans
nit many of its properties to glass,
which then conducts itself as, radium.
The intensity of the radiation OF
radium is increased rather than di-
minished, at very low temperatures,
and small sample can melt half it's
weight Of ice per hour.
We have put before us a model of
the truest and Test and our aim is to
become like it.
Thus far we have been led by ex-
perienced ones, who know how to meet
the difficulties that MAJ arise. Now
they drop our hands and Te must
advance alone.
III time we are able to radiate the
same influence which our ideal has
shed upon US. II we turn aside we
lose this power.
One"'vic.e-y leads to another and
these are stepping stones in the as
cent toward our ideal.
Radium is supposed to absorb power
from air-molecules. We gain inspi-
ration from our environment. May
we, like radium, spur others to greater
activity by showing our interest and
by giving our assistance.
Take for your model the truest and
best,
Strive by its aid to move upward
and on,
Turn not your journey to right nor
to left
But straight for the goal hasten on
Let adverse fortune your purpose
inspire,
Have only victory for your cry and
song,
Help the weak upward to planes
that are higher
And you yourself will grow noble
and strong.
Arthur Bratrud spoke clearly and
well of the Importance of character
in life, saying, in part:

Martha Mortenson spoke very well
on the subject: Aim of Education
saying in part as follows:
The true aims of education are:
l. Physically, to train the body that
it may be strong and responsiyely
active to the will.
?. intellectually, to store the mind
with knowledge, qualify for the in
dependent acquisition of knowledge,
and give regular practice in it's use.
Morally, to strengthen the will and
conscience and to counteract sin by
by making the race stronger.
knowledge is but part of eu1ca-
tion; only applied knowledge ispower.
A person often hears it said that
education gives young people a disgust
for manual labor. This certainly is
not true. Whatever occupation in life
one may be called to will be the
better carried on the better education
one has had. Education helps labor
Ifyou desire to accomplish anything
you must have purpose in the be-
ginning. An aimless life is never a
successful life. Live with purpose.
Have high and noble ambition.
Let all the ends thou aimest at be
thy country's, Gods and truths.
The value Of Perseverance in life
was elucidated by Bert Magladry,
who said in part as follows:
Perseverance has been the power
which has rendered every great ac-
complishmene possible. 1t is an
essential to character above ali things
worth struggling for.
Lincoln's parents were poor. He
was determined to get an education.
He studied hard and worked hard,
becoming a self educated man whom
everyone respects.
Napoleon said, Seek a high aim
and stick to it,: Garfield used his
muscle at cutting wood in order to
get an education.
The greatest results have been won
by Simple means and the exercise of
common ordinary qualities.
Some mention poor luck as an ex-
cuse for failure but those who look on
the practical side of life see that for
tune usually favors the most indus
trious. Genius used to be thot ne
cessary, but some OF the greatest men
have succeeded without it. Men who
have moved the world have not heen
so much men of genius as of moderate
abilities and untiring perseverance.
Progress of the best kind is compar-
atively slow. Great things are not
done in a day They must be ac-
complished little by little.

speaks with the most positive en-
phasis against the policy of letting
down the UarS to Chinese immigra-
ton. Such a move. he says. would
be of the utmost injury to the Amer

sufficiently why these can not be
granted.
