Two Couples Welded.

On Wednesday at 5p. m. a
very happy double wedding
took place at the home of Theo-
dore Zorn in Bottineau. The
contracting parties were Chas.
G. Whiting of Souris and Miss
Tena Zorn of Bottineau; and
Otto Zorn and Miss Maud Walk
er both of Bottineau, the offici-
ating clergyman Rev. James
Il. Hamilton of Omemee.
Both brides wore and looked
handsome in cream satin
dresses, made in princess style
and trimmed with fine valen-
ciennes lace and braid and car
ried pink and white carnations.
The bridegrooms wore the
conventional black broad cloth
with button hole boquet OF
lilies of the valley. The we'd
ding march was we'll rendered
by Miss Alta Foster of Gardena.
The tables and house we re
decorated in pink and white.
Mr.. Rosenbruck and Mr..
Henry Buddenhagen, grand
father and uncle respectively
of Tena and Otto Zorn were
present from Aurelia, Iowa, tc
witness the wedding. A fine
course supper was enjoyed by
about forty happy young people
who came to extend heartiest
good wishes and Gcdspeed to
the young couples.

The Mountain Has lahored,

Bismarck Palladium: After
three weeks of mental travail,
and much anguish of mind en-
dured by expectant patriots,
the senatorial plum has fallen
or rather been thrown-far
outside the circle of hungry
maws expectant1y slavering be-
meath and much wailing and
gnashing of teeth is heard in
the highways and byways of
North Dakota democracy and
renegade republicans.
Whether the governor was
giving vent to that keen sense
of humor which he is known to
possess, when he threw the
senatorial toga over the should
ers of his old time friend, or
whether he was paying the
chief contributor to his own
election fund at the expense of
the democratic party, as some
hint, will probably never be
known; but it cannot be gain
said that the unexpected has
happened and only the future
can decide the outcome.
Governor Burke has killed
himself politically, says friend
and foe alike, and particularly
the disappointed office seekers
of his own party.
Verify, it is to laugh.

MONEY FOR SILVER SERVICE
BoitIneau County's Share for BattleshIp
Memor rial Should be Raised.

Bottineau county's share of
the fund to be raised for the
furnishing a silver service of
the battleship North Dakota is
1926 and must be raised by
popular subscription.
The secretary, B. F. Brock
hoff of Grand Forks, writes to
VIM. Collins of this city that
nothing has thus far been heard
from Bottineau county. It has
been suggested that the local
banks be made depositaries and
those who desire to contribute
may leave money there: The
necessary blanks have been
ordered from Mr.. Brockhoff.
Subscriptions of a dollar are
solicited and it should be an
easy matter to raise Bottineau
county's quota. Our people
should respond quickly as there
is but little time until the
contributions will be called in
by the state committee in
charge of the solicitation. of
the funds.
The battleship for which the
service is to be bought has
been launched, her speed trial
has been successfully completed
and the North Dakota has
already assumed her proper
place in the united States navy,
having been admitted to be
the most powerful and the
speediest dreadnought in the
service.
The citizens of North Dakota
rightfully take a pride in their
ship and no more fitting mem
orial could be secured than the
handsome service proposed by
the committee.

must work. AS an inducement,
perhaps interested business
fmen and farmers would offer
prizes, say first, second and
third to the best county spoilers.
The work of the contest has
been taken up with the teach
ers, but know that there are
many loyal friends of education
who would be glad for a chance
to boost a contest of this kind
and to them [ extend hearty
invitation to give us their sup
port and encouragement. All
wish 70 see Bottineau county
win, of course. Let us there
fore go in to win.
The following are the rules
governing the state spellin g

A Word About our Business.

We want each and every
citizen in this town and com
munity to feel that they have a
personal interest in the success
of our business. We realize
that to make the milling bus
mess a financial success, we
must have the hearty co-ope-
ration of every public spirited
citizen. If our goods please
you, tell your neighors and
friends, if they do not come up
to you expections, come to us
in friendly way-you will feel
better over it and so will we.

Did You Vote for a Democratic senator7

Pembina Pioneer-E Express:
There are many honest we'll
meaning voters who say party
is nothing, but person is every
thing in local offices.
We are just now having an
example of what it means to
elect governor on that theory.
Perhaps it doesn't make much
difference whether a democrat
or republican rules the state
as governor in purely state
affairs s-but senator is surely
a partisan office if there is one
and your democratic COVER
nor is sure to select a democrat
for appointment as senator.
This works out the same in
many minor offices. When
you vote for a democratic gov
ernor you are are also voting
to fill all appointive Offices
with democrats.

Spelling Contests In County Schools.

County Superintendent p. E.
Christensen has issued the
following circular:
The county superintendent
of the state at their last meet
ing held in Valley City decided
to have statewide spelling
contest and steps were taken
to complete arrangements.
AS one of the county superin-
tendents I was heartily in
favor of the movement, believ-
ing that it would create an
interest in the subject, and
being assured from the small
contests held at Omemee last
spring that Bottineau county
had some excellent spoilers.
The work should be taken
up at once. The official list is
ready and can be had for 1
cent per copy, 2 cents by mail
from my office. / suggest
that pupils who are unable to
attend any school this winter do
the work independently and
enter the district and county
contests next spring. All rural
and graded schools can use the
official list ,as a substitute for
the regular spelling work in
the 6, z and 8 grades.
It seems that now is the
chance to revive the old fashion
ed spelling bees in the rural
communities, which will afford
profitable and pleasant enter
tainment during the winter
months, and parents and teach
ers should avail themselves of
the opportunity. In the
graded schools, rooms may con-
test against room. Then next
spring a time will be set for
the final district contests and
the winner from each district
will then contest for the county
championship and the champion
speller from every county in
the state will then enter the
state contests for the state
honors.
