The Festo


Under most adverse conditions the Montamara
Festo this year made good. !.
Probably never again in the history of the city will
such handicaps have to be overcome. The weather
put damper the whole show at the very outset
when the great Stadium concert given to a be-
drabbled audience in shower of cold rain. But the
show went right on and emerged in triumph last
night with the greatest spectacle ever seen in the
city and the greatest crowd that tried to get
into the Stadium.
The final estimate of visitors is that Tacoma is all
right and her July show the thing to go to.
The parade yesterday was demonstration OF one
important fact not only to the outside, but to the
people at home as wellthe citizens of other nations
are alive to the interests of Tacoma The showing OF
foreign-born people in the parade could mean moth
ing but that they are thoroughly in harmony with
the whole movement to make Tacoma bigger and
better place to live in.
IF the Montamara Festo had nothing else it has
solidified the people at home into more compact
body and brought realization of joint interest not
heretofore reached.
The disappointments and bitches in the program
are things that cannot be foreseen but good
guides to committees to guard against such eontn-
gencies in future years.
Whether the whole celebration came out ahead fin
ancially not is not the main question It has left
good feeling at home and abroad, and Tacoma will
get the benefit in dollars in good time.
Let everybody thank the committee that has
worked SO hard without pay, and begin on the Mon
tamara of 1913

Wonderful Woman At IS
breaches Gospel of Labor

SAN FRANCISCO, July s. -
"Ail my life I have preached the
gospel of labor. think that is
my greatest service to the world.
I am rs and I hope to have 10
more years in which to serve the
world"
Sventy-five and active: 10, with
a voice that has the power and re-
sonance that moves thousands Of
young women to envy--such is
the unique distinction of Prof.
Marie Sanford Of the University
of Minnesota.
Prof. Sanford Is now living in
retirement on a Carnegie PEN
sion; but she came out of retire
ment long enough to make the
most profound impression made
by any speaker at the General
Federation of Women's clubs con-
vention in session here.
This splendid woman served 80
years as professor. first in Swarth-
more college, near Philadelphia,
later In the University OF Mime
sofa. While teaching in Swarth-
more she occupied a unique posi-
ton OF being the only woman
professor In the United States,
though she had succeeded a wom-
an in Swarthmore.
From Swarthmore she went to
the University Of Minnesota and
for 20 years held the chair of
rhetoric and public speaking.
Miss Sanford stands for moral
ity as power in education.
II think" she declared, that
the mistake in our educational
system Is that we show the stu
dent the financial value Of educa-
ton instead of showing him it's

It would be a good thing for Massachusetts to
send Brandeis to the senate It is not, however of
great consequence to Brandeis himself. As a pri-
vate citizen he weighs more than carload of Muir

others Of his kind shrvelng up in their chairs be-

evening and shipped to his old home in
Illinois for interment. accompanied by
his brother. :.
Deceased was a widower, about 40
years of age. and has been in Dunn
county for over three years. No reason
for the rash deed is known other than
slight dependency. The mans revolver
was found beside him on the bed. The
bullet wound was in the left temple and
deceased being left handed seems to
justify the theory of suicide.
The officials of the county visited the
homestead and became satisfied that
the man died from the effects of shot
from his own hand.

FOR STARK COUNTY BOY

The farmer boy student at the North
Dakota Agricultural college is offered a
material inducement to complete the
three-year course in Farm Husbandry :;
the inducement is $50 cash scholar
ship offered by President Howard Elliott
of the Northern Pacific Railway, to one
boy in each of any ten counties in
North Dakota into which the Northern
Pacific railway runs.
Quite number of students attend the
college for but one or two years only,
either believing that in that time they
can learn all that is necessary. or for
other reasons dropping out before COM
pletion of the full course. President
Elliott's purpose in giving the scholar
ships is to encourage the finishing of
the course, because he believes that
every young man who graduates will
prove valuable asset to his district,
county and state. The more scientific
farmers there are the better for the
country and all lines of business.
The scholarship is awarded when the
student has attained sufficiently high
standing and is within one term OF
graduation.
Students who win scholarships are ex-
pected to agree to follow at least one
special line Of agriculture and to report
results of farm management to the
Agricultural College at Fargo for per-
iod of at least three years.
The class which will graduate this
spring numbers seventeen, five of whom
are from Northern Pacific counties and
have been furnished with the $50 cash
scholarships. The winners are: Allen

die, Emmons county; Frank Cannell,

co. K Defeats VALLEY CITY
IN End GAME BASKETBALL

A second game of basketball was
played with the supposed crack team of
Valley City at the armory on Wednes-
day evening, which was decided de-
feat for the visitors.
The Valley City quint played here
last week on their way west and put
up pretty good game. Their work on
Wednesday was not So good and it was
an easy matter for Company K to win
out against them. Their passing stunt
was pretty good but general team work
and basket-making was much inferior
to that of our boys.
The first half of the game ended with
scores of 22 to 4 in Dickinson's favor
and basketball spirit was rather lax
in the last half and our boys just made
scores ut their will. The final score
was 48 to 16.
Out Of the six games played this
season at home. Dickinson has lost
only to the Triple BIS. of Billings. and
this was not a decisive defeat either
The boys leave next Monday on their
eastern trip and ere their return expect
to prove their championship in the
state.
According to recent issue of the
Fargo Forum. Beach is claiming
championship honors IN the Western
hall of the state, but so far as our boys
know they have not heen defeated
by Beach vet.
