SUCCESSFUL JUNIOR BANQUET
Four Course Feast Given to Faculty
and Graduating Class

A very enjoyable social occa-
sion in honor of those who
graduate from the local high
school this week was the second
annual junior banquet onSatur-
day evening. The juniors and
their guests, the seniors and
faculty, began to arrive at
eight o'clock and spent a social
hour until about nine when it
was announced that the ban
quet was about to be served.
The inner man was amply pro-
vided for in the elaborate four
course banquet. The feast was
interspersed by toasts and
speeches, witty and to the
point. There was nothing
lacking in variety as the fol-
lowing program will show.

However, we have just one
word to say at this time and
that is this" that any citizen
who has not improved the op-
portunity to be present, espe-
cially at the class plays given
on Monday and Wednesday
evenings, missed some excel
lent entertainment.
On Monday evening the
eighth grade graduation ex-
ercises were held in the
opera house. The program
was a good one, including the
class addresses, vocal and in
strumental music of high order
and the play Alice in Wonder
land' which was we'll handled
by the youthful players.
On, Wednesday evening the
senior class of the high school
presented Sweet Girl Gradu

pleasing manner. The cast
was we'll balanced and the in
divivual players did themselves
credit by their efforts. The
ladies quartette sang and
among other musical numbers
were trios, solos, the class
chorus and last but by no
means least, music by the
Bottineau Military band.

SIGN UP FOR SPECIAL Levy
Good Reasons Why Tax For Support
Of Better Farming Should Pass

Mr.. Editor:
1t is important that every
voter in Bottineau county who
wishes to see the Better Farm
ing movement permanently
established in this county see
that his name is signed to one
of the petitions now being cir
culated, asking the county COM
missioners to levy tax of one
quarter of mill. Every tax
payer is vitality interested in
this movement and even to a
greater extent than he may be
willing to admit, and it is not
fair to the other voters to leave
it to them to see that the peti-
tons are sufficiently circulat-
ed. Every tax payer should
interest himself to the extent
of seeing that his name is on
the petition.
Several hundred blank petit
ton were distributed at the
January 3Oth meeing, amongst
farmers, business men and
others, and each bank in the
county is circulating petition.
| Voters are requested and urged
to see that some one of these
petitions bears their signature
and that the petitions are re.
turned to F. w. Cathro, at
Bottineau, during the first
week in June if possible, so
that in the event there are not
enough signers there may be
ample time left to get the re-
iquired number before July 1st.
One thousand names are re-
quired.
It seems wise to put the cost
of this movement on the whole
county, thereby making non
residents and outside speculat.
ors holding lands for specula-
ton, and non productive lands
that are being held for a rise in
price, pay their just share Of
the support Of the movement

PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS
Two Prominent Farmers Who Drag the
Roads After Each Rain

Bert Garwood, a promi nent
farmer living southeast of
Souris, has started something
which is potent to boost the
good roads campaign more
than any other thing we could
mention. He is a practical
disciple of the better roads
movement. After each rain he
bitches onto a road drag and
thoroughly smooths up about
two and half miles of grade
adjacent to his farm. Mem
bers of the auto club here say
that this is now the finest piece
of road in the county and they
are loud in their praises of
Garwood.f 49,.
We understand that Robert
TAFT, living north of this city,
has lately been doing work
along the same line. Such ex-
amples of public spirit are too
rare but perhaps this is only
the beginning of a general
awakening to the economic
value of good roads.
| LATRR-Frank Yellen, jr. is
another farmer who has been
been inoculated with the good
roads idea. He has commenced
using a drag on the roads ad-
joining his farm.

And give them the praise that their valor has earned
