OF the social events of the year. and il
the past has met with great success
The committees are now busy in making
arrangements that the present event
shall eclipse all former occasions. The
Grand Forks Orchestra of four pieces
will furnish the music and the refresh
ments will be of the best obtainable. 1t
will be held at the City Hall.
There was public meeting of the
High school literary society on Wednes-
day evening at the school house. With
music and other interesting numbers,
there was also debate on the merits of
Initiative and Referendum" with Ted
.Wardwell and Edna Roadhouse in favor
and Wesley Smile and Mabel Peterson
in the negative, and the latter won. The
attendance was not as large as it should
have been.
The city stores are putting on their
Christmas dresses and already the kids
and grown folks are looking into the gay
windows with longing eyes and wonder
ing what they will get themselves or
what they will get for others. Country
people will find Pembina good place to
come to for Christmas goods as all our
merchants are putting in large stocks of
both the useful and ornamental. 1t will
pay to keep your eyes on our advertis-
ing columns for the next three weeks.
CONSERVATION is great at Thief River
Falls and other towns along the Red
Lake river, including Grand Forks, be-
cause that river is practically dry.
Grand Forks gets its city water from
this river and about all its supply is
from the branch called the Clearwater
at that point. Log jams along the Red
Lake river above Thief River Falls Is said
to be the cause, as the Red Lake is said
to be as full as usual. Application has
been made to the U. S. government for
assistance, by dred ing out the sand
bars at the source of the Red Lake river
where it comes out of Red Lake.
The weather of the week has been
perfect. Clear and pleasant and just
cold enough to keep the snow from thaw-
ing. The sleighing is not good on the
country roads us the snow is too thin.
Beautiful moonlight nights have been a
pleasant feature. Meanwhile some of
the late threshing is being finished and
farm RS are getting things in shape for
the real thing which is likely to appear
at any time now. AS we have said before
in this paper, the man who prophesles
cold weather for this country about
Christmas and New YeaIs will get rep
utation for being weatherwise, as he will
be right about nine times out of ten.

are both of one character as TO size,
shape, and habits, and differ only as
regards color.
The Gray Call is very similar in
color of plumage to the Rouen, and Is
indeed called by many the Bantam
Rouen, and the white is sometimes
called the Bantam Pekin. Their uses
are only for the show room, or as
decoy ducks for wild duck shooting.
For the latter purpose they are
sometimes crossed with the common
duck or the wild Mallard This latter
cross is considered excellent, the pro

and domesticity.
