The Pembina band orchestra has again
oeen very pleasant and useful addition
TO the various school functions of the
asst two weeks. They have rendered
some very fine selections and no doubt
have the gratitude of the principals in
the events as they certainly have of the

,al musicians.
The proposed 4th of July celebration
has been abandoned and our citizens
will have chance to visit neighboring
towns for their amusement. When our
people decided to. celebrate they did
not know that st. Vincent had under

across the river, and they will celebrate
On Saturday, July 3rd. in true American
style. while Pembina will get herself in
readiness for grand blowout next year.
The class play of the eighth grade pu-
pills which was given last Friday night
vas very pleasing. 1t is a nice little play
introducing May pole and its winding
an old gypsy by Clara Warner being es-
pecially will given. The four elves 1sa-
belle Shaw, Luella LaMoure, James
Conmy and Adna Wardwell made fine
luartette both in singing and acting.
There was considerable music in the
play and the chorus singing of the class
was eptionally good. Mrs. Van Meter
their teacher and Miss Anne Conmy did
the training which reflects much credit
to them.
Honest though, we are willing to con-
.acu tha + u q lilo o;ro,c J,x, inst DC ,,,oll
IS when we were young. Not per-
maps, altogether IN just the same way,
out we get just about as much amuse-
nent. The circus clowns are not so fun
~ as then, but there are the clowns in
crowds that are fully as humorous.
There's no day which develops the
'ipooney'' people like circus day. The
couples get lost among strangers to
everything but their own enjoyment of
Zach other. Just watch 'em and see. A
circus crowd is we'll worth the price of
admission. Human nature is on exhib-
ton in wholesale quantities.
We omitted to mention the class play
If the high school last week among the
many occurrences of the kind. The play
vas witnessed by large audience who
we're all we'll pleased. The play itself
does not call for any very great dramatic
but takes in large number
Of characters and was put on without
waits between times. The principal
male characters were taken by Stanley
Forrest Storms and Charles
King while Flossie Eyford Hazel Doug
as and Henrietta Conmv. Notion Ash
ey. Roy Chisholm, Harry Miller, John
Reggie Baskin, Douglas Nc
Kay, Laura Douglas, Maggie Arnason,
Pearl Asseltine, Gladys Harris, Christ
tine Peterson, Olive Warner, and Grace
Eyford also had more'or less prominent
parts. j. D. Winlaw was stage manager
and the play showed his we'll known
ability IN that direction. The play was
we'll put on we'll done by all who partic-
pated.
Under the mutual arrangement of the
elevator companies the Monarch elevator
in this city has been closed and will re-
main closed for the balance of the year
We understand that this policy is being
carried out all along the lines. Looks
a little like trust business on its face.
Doubtless the elevator companies can
make considerable saving in wages and
other expenses in this way, but it also
shuts off competition. For no matter
how friendly the companies may be if
several elevators are open the agents
will have natural rivalry in gettlug the
grain, and while they pay the same
agreed price, they will make difference
in grade and dockage that means con-
siderable to the farmer. This move leg
islates our friend Griffith out of Office,
who has SO long and kindly furnished
us the weekly market reports. Mr.. G.
