Michael Chalgrian of Aberdeen and on
the inside of the coat was to be found
the name OF the owner
Word was received in Fargo yester-

MoRNING-FINE MUSICAL PRO.
GRAMME GIVEN ALSO.

Prof w ]. Trimble. head Of the
history department at the agricultural
college, delivered an address on The
Western Side of Washingtons Life at
10 a. m, in the armory at the A. C.
today
DR.. Putnam's college orchestra open
ed the exercises with a very intertain-

is as follows:

selection from The Tales Of Hoff-
mann, by Offenbach.
DR. Trimble's portrayal of Washing
ton as westerner was very vivid. In
the course of his lecture he enumer-
ated several instances Of Washington's
life in the west OF that time. He also
described, the life upon the. f>5ntier,
which at that time had been extended
only as far as the Ohio river. His
comparison of the west of Washing
toms time and the west Of today was
very interesting not only from the
historians but from an Industrial view
point as well.

Members of Epworth League of First
NJ. G. Enjoyed Delightful
Affair.

Last evening the members of the
Epworth League of the First NJ. f.
church met in the church parlors for
their annual Washington's birthday
banquet. A novel feature Of the af :
fair was that each person who at
tended was supposed to earn their
money to pay for their plate by doing
something out OF the ordinary, and
over fifty plates were laid The ban
quet itself was a wonderful and in
tensely practical demonstration of the
ability Of the girls along the line OF
culinary connections. The younger
girls OF the league, bedecked in all the
splendor of Martha washington, serv-
ed course after course in most clever
manner. A. L. Miller acting as toast
master, called on Hans Peterson to
respond to the toast, Philosophy of
Fellowship Miss Alice Mosher's sub
ject was Birthington's Washday and
j. NJ. Walters grew eloquent on the
subject OF Nothing. The happy group
then went up to the league room and
gathered around the CRATE IRE, where
piano solos, duets, readings and old
folk songs made the occasion one long
to be remembered by those present.
Games OF all descriptions were enjoyed

The SCHOOL AIR
WILL Be WASHED
ARCHITECT SAM cRABBE SAYS
THAT THE WATER WILL BE
USED TO WASH THE AIR THAT
WILL PASS INTO ROOMS OF
NEW BUILDING.

Sam Crabbe, the architect employed
by tire board of education to prepare
the plans for the new school building
TO be erected on the south side, re-
turned this morning from a big trip
through Minnesota, visiting q number
of cities which had modern school
buildings
Mr.. Crabbe stated to a representa-
tive Of The Forum, this afternoon, that
he was especially interested in the
ventilation and heating systems in the
new school building and made the trip
with the purpose of examining this
particular side Of the proposition. Mr..
Hoover, who accompanied him, and
VINO has already returned, made "A
special investigation of the details of
school buildings.
The air which will be used in the
ventilating of the new school building
will be washed, before it enters the
rooms. Mr.. Crabbe has examined n
number of the more modern systems of
ventilating and finds that the wash
ing Of the air is the most successful
method found.
Heretofore the air that went into the
school rooms has been perfectly dry,
and by the new system which will be
introduced in the new building, the
humidity of the room will be greatly
increased. This plan is entirely new
in the city.
The architect said today that the
plans for the building were progress
ing nicely and that they would be
completed as soon as possible. When
completed the new schoolhouse win be
perfectly modern in every respect.

THE SPREAD OF DIVORCE

Pittsburg Dispatch: The infornla-
ton comes from a st. Louis paper,
and therefore the statement is not
hurled as a charge, that Missouri
leads the United States in divorce.
One decree is issued to each eight
marriages in that benigiated common
wealth, and Kansas. City leads off as a
separate community with one divorce
in every four marriages. 1t appears
that q special study Of the subject has
been made by DR. Charles A. Ellwood,
professor of sociology in the Univer-
sity of Missouri and, aside from the
statistics he presents, his observations
are unusually interesting. He finds
that there are tire great centers or
divorce--the New England States, the
central west and the Rocky mountain
and Pacific coast states sections
where individualism is most marked;
that is self.assertion and self-interest.
1t is the causes OF divorce. however,
rather than the number Of cases and
the centers Of the evil, that are Of vital
importance. According to DR.. Eliwood,
and let no scofSer sneer at this, the
largest factor or responsibility Tor the
growing abuse is "the decay OF reli-
gion. particularly Of the religious the
cry OF marriage and the family 1t is
here that the church must face the is
