At a recent meeting of the local
unions of the American Society OF
Equity it was voted to buy a car
load of flour and appointed a com
mittee to solicit bids from millers.
This committee reported at the
meeting Monday afternoon that
manufacturers who were communi-
Gated with all asked the same price
for flour. This being the case the
members of the union voted unani-
mously to patronize home industry
and gave the order to the Prairie
Mills of this city.

of it excellent. We thought we could
see in the speaking an improvement
over previous contests in the partic-
ular of OVERRIDING. Elocutionists
often complain of the difficulty of
restraining their pupils from put
ting more of enthusiasm and effort
into selection than the conditions
warrant. AS a general thing the
speakers in the contest were not so
much subject to the criticism of
OVERRIDING as those in some previous
contests. In manner they were
quite natural and gave to the con-
di.ions of the narrative only so
much of ardor and vehemence as
the situation would suggest.
A number of the judges in this
contest have acted in a similar ca
pacity in previous contests here.
These expressed the opinion that on
the whole this was the best of any.
In the declamatory section Hilda
Horstrum of Barron, who spoke
THE Race for the La Rue Stakes"
was awarded first place by the
judges and Harriet Eldrige of Eau
Claire, who spoke "Ole Mistis,"
was given second. In the oratori-
cal section Earl Whitcomb of the
local high school easily won first
place while second place was given
to Edmund Hoeppner of Eau Claire.
Whitcomb spoke ION the Boston
Massacre" and Hoeppner "Happi-
ness and Liberty"
The musical numbers rendered
were much enjoyed. Especially
was the music by the Normal or
chestra appreciated.
The following table shows the
marking of the judges.

1t Was Passed by the British Parlia-
mont In 1714.
What is commonly meant by read
ing the riot act'' is better known than
the origin of the phrase. The historic
al riot act was passed by the British
parliament in the reign Of George 1.
in TIA. 1t enacts that felony is COM
mitted when twelve or more persons
unlawfully, riOtously and tumultuous-
ly assemble together to the disturbance
of the public peace, so to continue to-
gether for an hour after being COM
manded to dispense by the sheriff or
undersheriff or a justice or the mayor
of the borough.
In the reading" of the British riot
act, which is necessary preliminary
to its being put into operation, it is not
customary to recite the whole of the
statute, which is rather long one,
but only the following proclamation,
which it contains: "Our sovereign lord
the king chargeth and commandeth all
persons being assem- bled Immediately
to dispense themselves and peaceably
