That is what my dictionary says.
have looked up the word, because
/ have been asked by so many young
people from time to time to define the
privileges and claims and liabilities of
the engaged state, that I wanted to
have my friend Noah's help.
ssEngaged'' means pledged in mar
riage''-that is. it means that two
young people who are engaged, have
decided that they love each other
enough to leave father and mother,
and all home ties and cleave to each
other all through life
Now how much liberty of inter-
course with some particular member
of the opposite sex, other than the
betrothed, should these two people
who feel that way have2 This is the
question which in one concrete form
or another, is continually being asked
me.
And my Yankee answer is. How on
earth can they want any at ALL
The only question, suppose, is
whether either may provide himself
or herself with an occasional substi-
tute when he or she cannot possibly
have his betrothed-
Of course, there can be no question
but that neither would ever want any
one else. when he or she could have
his life partner. That would be to
deny the meaning of the betrothal,
that each vastly prefers the other to
anyone else in the world.
Now, perhaps I'm wrong, but it

seems to me that in this matter en-
gagged ought to be considered the same
as married.
And when a man is married, he
presumably doesn't expect to take
some other woman to the theater or a
dance, even if his wife is away from
home or he is in another city. And,
as engaged people have made up their
minds that they care enough for each
other to be married, I don't really see
why he should want to, when he is en-
gagged
And, when a woman is married, she
resumably doesn't want to entertain
or be entertained by other men, even
if her husband is away. Why then,
should she want to when she is en-
believe that if two people care
enough to be engaged, they should
care so much that all other men be-
come sexIess to the woman and all
other women sexless to the man.
If any engaged man or woman finds
that this is not so, he or she finds a
danger signal
Now ali this doesn't mean that I
am advocating that an engaged man
shall become monklike in his attitude
toward other women, or that women
shall shun the society of all men and
the two conffne themselves solely to
each others society.
Married PEOPLE don't 10 that
It just means that I think that the
same standards on this subject should
be observed by engaged as by married
people.
These are my notions on this sub
ject
You - my correspondents - have
asked for them and you have them.
But please don't lay too much stress
on them, or judge anyone's conduct by
them.
I believe that the very best way to
avoid trouble on this subject is for
each engaged couple to talk the mat
ter over frankly with each other. and
abide by the feelings of the more
scrupulous since one party cannot pos
sibIy suffer as much from giving up a
little freedom as the other party
would suffer from that arch-torment,
jealousy.

ELLEfSEN'S BAKERY
The Recently Installed Bakery De.
partment at EIIefsen's Has Prov
ed a Great Success.

The new sanitary bakery recently
installed in Ellefsens grocery on
Broadway has met with instant favor
among the housewives and even res
taurant men Of the city. They, one
and all. realize that when one can pur-
chase such excellent bakery goods at
such moderate prices at Ellefsen's
there really is no need to bake in this
hot weather. Besides, Ellefsen's bread
Is as fresh and wholesome as the kind
mother used to make and the cakes
and pies are sure enough treat for
the entire family. Our cakes do not
last long. The calls come In faster
than they are baked. There are good
reasons. Sanitary baking quarters
and wholesome nutritious ingredients.
together with modern oven. are a
few Of the reasons why. The success
which Ellefsen has made could not
possibly be achieved by anything short
of extraordinary merit. People know
that 1t is great advantage to pro-
cure such excellent bakery goods on
such short notice ithout the trouble
Of baking in hot weather.
Another desirable feature of the
Ellefsen grocery is the automobile de-
livery, which assures the housewife
that the order will be delivered
promptly. Good service Is what Ellef-
sen Is striving to give his customers
and his success Iii attaining It goes
| without saying.

CRIPPLE IN COURT
PITIABLE SIGHT
JOHN o'5RIEN WAS ONE OF THE
MOST MISERABLE LOOKING
MEN EVER TO APPEAR IN THE
coURT-WILToN CHANGED HIS
PLEA-sHIRLEY CAME BACK.

Wretched and miserable In appear
ance, John O'Brien appeared before
Judge Miller in the police court this
morning. He was one of the most
pitiable looking specimens that ever
entered the local police court.
O'Brien is naturally short, not be-
ing much over four feet tall. One of
his legs is cut away near the knee
and he has a peg for the support Of
that pedal extremity. The other limb
is also crippled and he is compelled
to use crutches to navigate.
He is an old man with gray hair
and his face is very haggard. His
clothing was old, dirty and torn.
The court suggested to O'Brien that
he be sent out of town if the sentence
upon him was suspended. He asked
to be sent to Ireland and not back
to Grand Forks. from whence he came.
He was allowed his liberty with the
understanding that he would leave
Fargo at once.
Yesterday afternoon Mary Wilton,
charged with gambling at the john
son place, came into court and chang
ed his plea. He pleaded with the
court for mercy and told that he had
not intended to get in a gambling
game The court fined him IS which
he paid.
Harry Shirley came back to Fargo
yesterday and was Immediately ar
rested. Shirley was in the city sew
eral months ago and was arrested
with Hilma Carlson for resorting to
rooms for immoral purposes. He was
sentenced to work on the streets and
while working for the city he made his
escape. with about thirty days yet
to serve. He will now be allowed to
serve out the remainder of his time.
Dollie Barnard, who las evening
fought the police when she was
brought into the station appeared in
the court this morning and was sem
fenced to serve eight days In Jail.
She was drunk when arrested and
while fighting the officers she became
unconscious and a physician had to be
called.

WOULD ORGANIZE
TECHNICAL CLUB
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL TEcHNI.
CAL CLUB or MINNEAPOLIS DE-
sIREs TO ORGANIZE CLUB IN
THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
MANY CITIES HAVE THEM.

Wilbur Tucker, a graduate OF the
Minneapolis Central high school, was
in the city short time today on bust
ness and while here took some steps
toward the organization OF a techni-
cal club in the local high school. He
spoke Of the success Of the club in
Minneapolis and other Of the largest
cities Of the country. During the
recent civic celebration in Minneapo-
lis the Technical club had float in
the Industrial parade which consisted
or a wireless telegraph outfit con-
structed by the club members. and as
they went down the street sent mes
sages to The Duluth News Tribune.
The club in Minneapolis is the first
OF its kind ever organized in this
country. This was begun in 1919 by
Prof. l.. /. Simpson for the purpose
Of studying all technical subjects
closer and training the members of the
club to become better in this line of
work. The club has grown from forty
eight charter members to 1O2 and clubs
have been organized in three other
high schools of the city. Only juniors
and seniors are eligible for membership.
Lectures on all kinds of technical sub
jects are provided and trips through
the various shops and factories are
taken by the club members.
Since the starting Of this club In
Minneapolis, simimar organizations
have been launched at Boston. Los
Angeles, Oak Park, Chicago. and as
far south as Texas. Prof. c. j. Eide.
who was for some time connected with
the local high school, and who is a
present member of the Minneapolis
Central high school faculty, is behind
the proposition and is very DESTROYS
Of organizing a club in this city. Dur
ing the summer Mr.. Eide works for
the International Harvester Co. and
Is in the city at the present time. He
is therefore in a good position to push
the thing along and he hopes to launch
an organization OF this kind in the
Fargo high school this fall. There is a
good opening for such a club in this
city and it is hoped that enough inter-
est is taken in the proposition to war
rant its success.

After Mr.. Stimmeps talk, District
Superintendent Mcnamara of the M.

Bldg. ORDINANCE
Committee NET
AT MEETING HELD THIS MORN
ING THE BUILDING ORDINANCE
COMMITTEE ACTED FAvoRAs-
LY ON BIG ORDINANCE AND
WILL REPORT MONDAY NIGHT.

This morning the special committee
appointed some time ago to consider
the proposed building ordinance Of the
city Of Fargo acted favorably on the
code and will hand in a report at the
meeting of the city council next Mon
day night approving the proposed
ordinance as 1t now stands.
The building code that has been pro-
posed for the city is the one prepared
by the national board Of fire under
writers and is used in almost every
city of any Importance in the United
States. 1t is especially complete and
Is SO adequate that there is no point
in guiding laws of city that is not
covered by the ordinance.
There has been some objection on
the part of the city council to the or
dinance as 1t stands now, because OF
the length Of 1t. However, it is shorter
now than the new building ordinance
that is being considered by the Grand
Forks city council, which is city not
as large as Fargo.
AT the present time there are ques-
tons arising daily with the building
Inspector Of the city that cannot be
handled under the present building Or
dinance. The inspector having many
other things to do of greater import
ance. has not made any pretense of
looking after the building situation as
is should be handled.
The passage of the building ordi-
nance will be monument to the pres
ent city council and will be great
credit to the city. The only thing that
now seems to stand in the way of the
passage Of the code will be the reading
of it, the aldermen being Ioathe to sit
in session for several hours simply to
hear the ordinance read aloud, when
all Of them have already read 1t or a
synopsis Of It,

well, their songs are catchy, and the

very start. Some of the funny situa-
tions and dialogue could not be i'm
