"Rosalind's Surrender" by Beth
Lahman, of Lake City, we'll portrayed
the life of the northern girl who had
accepted southern ideas because OF
her aunt with whom she lived, but
when the time came for her to choose
between her northern lover and the
southern flag she was making her
trials began. Her aunt, thinking to
aid her in finishing the flag in time
to wave it as the northern soldiers
marched away from the town, handed
her an old flag that had been carried
by her grandfather and on this flag
was pinned note bequeathing the
flag to his children and grandchildren
and admonishing them to stand firm
for the union and the stars and
stripes At the supreme moment the
girl caught up the union flag and
waved it. Her love saw it and came
for her final surrender.
AS the train had not arrived Miss
Straight of Fonda, could not appear
and the high school girls Spinning
Song" drew much applause.
Under the humorous class, "Peter
Sorghum in Love-" by Bernice Bergen,
of Webster City, won great applause.
Peter "just thought he'd come over
His sweetheart tried to give him all
the encouragement possible and final
ly he succeeded in popping the ques-
tion," Then as the girls father called
bed time he went home, called all the
folks and told them about his success.
He tells that from the time he first
kisses her all other sweets are not
sweet at all.
Paul Caswell came up to the eXpec-
tations of his friends with ,"Plupy's
Debating Society,"" The debate was
given in the usual boys style on the
subject, (Which is mightier, the sword
or the pen?" The arguments pro and
con were very much to the point
Some were far fetched, but caused
considerable laughter. The debate
was not decided because neither side
would own itself defeated, when re-
freshments came hostilities ceased.
When old folks get dissatisfied and
wish to have their troubles ended they
should try the method described by
Hazel Mavity, of Glidden, in the
Abandoned Elopement,' but they
should know the road and know how
the horse is hitched up, so as not to
have the same difficulties. Then we
should advise the lady not to begin
debating before she gets married, or
their plans may be as disastrous as
those Of the couple described.
AS spring is here every man should
get his hair cut and not have the
same difficulties as Mr.. Brown, when
after several months of waiting, he
decided to lose some of his locks.

testants Receive Ovation.

Paul CasweI Chosen to Represent
Denison at Rockwell City on
Friday of This Week.

The declamatory contest, held at
the Germania opera house last Friday
evening, proved to be decided sue.
cess from every standpoint. Eleven
schools in the district sent delegates
to Denison to compete in this contest
Paul Caswell, Denison's represent
alive, came up to the expectations OF
his schoolmates and Denison friends,
the judges awarding him place in
the humorous class and he will rep.
resent this district at the state con-
test. which will be held at Rockwell
City OH Friday of this week.
The opera house was crowded at an
early hour, but owing to the storm
bound trains several of the contest
ants did not arrive to participate in
the contest till late hour, but the
Denison orchestra kindly consented
10 fill in the time till these contest
ants arrived.
With the invocation by Rev. La
Reau the program began. The high
school mixed chorus gave two selec.
tons, which brought the hearty ap.
plause OF the audience. The work OF
the chorus under the direction of Miss
Beatrice Lally showed her thorough
training.
Under the dramatic class, Miss Ida
Goetz, of Rockwell City, in a read
ing "A Daughter of the South" very
nicely described the southern girl
doing what she considers right and
tells how bravely she holds to the
word of her father as taught to her
as being the only evidence needed to
save her negro, Jake. And then she
proved herself a woman by getting
out of the scene in the way customary
to women-by fainting.
Kathleen Head, of Jefferson, gave
good portrayal of "Belshazzer, the
King" and one could easily imagine
being stopped by the lion train. wit
Messing the kings CONSERVATION at
finding the royal carriages halted,
while to be denied pretty girl and
have his own bowman defy him for
the life of that same girl, when he had
demanded her to be slain to save the
life of the royal lion, was not very
gratifying to the tyrannical rulings
OF the time. After the girl had been
secured, her father cast into prison,
the Jewish temple sacked, the king
demanded feast, at which he SCOTS

all of his friends and fellow workmen
complimented him on having his hair
cut" Miss Burnadette McCarty, OF
Missouri Valley, drew her share OF
applause by reciting Mr.. Browns
trials.
The duet, "Silent Night" and en-
core by the Misses Alma and Edna
Wright was greatly applauded.
The contestant from Fonda, Miss
Leta Straight, was very good in her
dramatic reading, "The Death Disk"
Everyone felt with the parents as they
were bidding each other farewell for
the father had been condemned to
death. He and two other colonies had
disobeyed orders and were to pay the
forfeit. The next day the mother was
very sick and the little girl started
to find her father to bring him home,
little knowing his fate. When she
drew near the officers quarters she
was called in by the head officer to
assist in the choosing which of the
three men should receive the death
disk The little girl liked the red
one and when she was sent in to
place one in each of the mems hands
she recognized her father and gave
him the pretty red one. The tragedy
was very near, but the general had
promised the little girl to grant her
the first favor she chose to ask. So
when he demanded that her father
go home to her mother the general
had to allow the man to go free, Thus
was a man saved from having death
sentence given him by his little daugh-
ter.
The high school boys glee club was
very satisfactory and responded to
several encores.
The decision of the judges was as
follows: In the dramatic class Miss
Kathleen Head, who gave "Belshazzer
the King" and Miss Beth Lahan, who
had portrayed "Rosalind's Surrender"
were chosen to represent the district.
In the humorous class Miss Hazel
Mavity and Paul Caswell were the
favored ones.
Upon the decision of the judges the
glee club again bounded upon the plat
form and assisted by the gallery, gave
numerous yells and showed their ap-
probation that one of their number
had taken honors in the contest.
The state contest will be held in
Rockwell City March I'D, at the M. e.
church, and we wish Mr. Caswell all
success in winning for Denison the
honors of the state association.
