High School Literary Program.

Z q The first Literary program of the
High School year as given by the
members of the ITALIAN and Athenian
Societies last week was good one
altho there will be improvements
without doubt as the year goes on.
Not many visitors we're present. the
judges, Mrs. Helm and Mrs. Engel
being the only outsiders present with
the exception of number OF the
Senior Class of last year. 49, ...
The new High School Symphony
Orchestra under the direction of Mr..
Ledine made its first public sp-
pearance. The members of the or
chestra are: Leo Seifert and Clarence
Gieseke, first violins, Clarence Hess
and Hilton Durbahn, second violins,
Armin Pfaender, flute, Anton
Gruenenfelder, clarinet, John Scheide-
rich and Alphonse Gruenenfelder,
ccrnets, George Crone, trombone,
Harold Reineke, cello, and Henrietta
Hauenstein, accompanist. They rem
dered two selections very acceptably,
the first being especially we'll done.
Erwin Haenze presided. The first
number on the contest program was q
recitation by Alice Iergang of the
Athena Society. 1t was entitled
"What William Henry Did" and was
will given, being awarded the vote OF
the judges over the Italians repre-
sentative, Lillian Behnke, who gave
"Jud Brown on Rubinstein's Piano
Playing Miss Behnke's recitation
was rendered in an especially pleasing
manner but her memory failed her
toward the end of the selection and
undid her previous good work. The
second number on the program was an
original story by Stella Gag, IA
Dream and Its Consequences" The
third number was an essay on "The
Need of Public Library" by Bertha
Esser which appears elsewhere 10 this
Issue.
The Debate on the question of the
Open vereus the Closed Shop followed.
Dougher led the Affirmative
argument for the Closed Shop and
Bestts Krook led the Negative. The
speakers we're Harry Journ
and Harold Reineke. Some very good
points we're made on both sides. The
Alternatives we're awarded the de-
cision, making three points for the
ITALIAN Society.
The other two numbers on the pro-
gram, IN original story by Erns
"Johu's Trip to the
and an essay by Herths
Mueller on General Booth and the
Army" we're each awarded
the point, making the day . S to l
victory for the Italians. The pro-
gram of the afternoon which had been
illustrated by Miss Wanda Gag was
awarded to Elizabeth Dougher IS
leader oh the winning side in the
debate. These programs will be given
thruout the year. They
deserve better attendance on the part
of patrons of the schools than they
have had in the past.

"WHO KEEPS THE -.-.
HOTEL THERE. NOW?''

= HOTEL THERE, NOW?''
/. The following story told by Editor
Frank Harris, of the Chisholm Trib-
une-Herald, who is issuing one of the
best weeklies on the range will be
of interest to the: many Virgtnians
who travel on the Great Northern
and who are acquainted, with the
principal figure of the tale:
;. A travelling man from Chicago was
made to look like 10 cents worth of
dog meat Saturday of last week
while on a Great Northern train run
ming between Grand Rapids and
Virginia.. The aforesaid gent from
Chicago was very anxious to let ev-
cry one on the train know from
whence he hailed and made the pas
sengers mighty tired of his eulogies
on Chicago. After listening to the
travelling mans talk for quite awhile
Mike Nurick, newsie on the train,
who by the way is a keen student
of human nature, asked the fellow
with the most innocent air, "Who
keeps the hotel there now" who
keeps the hotel there" replied the
city man, Don't you know there is
more than one hotel in Chicago?"
"Oh, is there?" came back Mike as
he moved of with face as stolid as
a heather. Chinese.

Many virginians who had expect

brother Of the famou1:humorist. Bill
Nye, speak in this city following his
| Bull Moose" talk ats =Hibbing last
evening in behalf Of Colonel Roose-
welt and the progressive ticket in
this state. will apparently be dis

taking little interest In the progress
sive candidates for state honors and
have done no work for p. v. Collins.
the Bull Moose candidate for
gubernatorial honors. or for the
lesser lights on the T. R. ticket in
Minnesota. Some shouting has been
done for the ex-president. and he no
doubt will get some votes In this
city.
As q result of the local Bull
Moosers" taking it'd f interest in
their state ticket no effort has been
made to secure many speakers. al
though the Bull .Moosers'' are
wearing the emblems and pins Of
their party with much pride.
In his first speech Of the campaign
at Osakis, MIMI. Senator Knute Mel
son predicted that James Manahan,
the fiery republican nominee for con-
gressman-at-large, would succeed
him six years hence. .t.Mr. Manahan,
who rejoined the republican special
at Alexandria has inaorsed George

the state railroad and warehouse
commission, who recently spoke in

short journey over the Milwaukee
road to Moorhead andback again.
