convention will be held at Drayton,
June 1920. The provisional program
has been made out and will contain
many practical and special features.
Every department of the Sunday school
work has grown during the year. The

fail to create an inspiration among the
Sunday school workers that is profitable
to the Christian work of the Sunday
school. 1t will be good investment
for school to pay the way Of it's dele
gate and then ask and get a report.
There is no doubt but that this conven.
tion will reach high tide in our history.

ATHLETICS.
Last Saturday at Grand Forks. the
University held the state High School
field meet in which nineteen schools
and over one hundred boys contested.
Our boys did very we'll and won Is points
getting 4th place and being but two
points behind Grand Forks. Our hand
leap gives US 48.75 points which will
place us very close to 1st place if; not
lst. In case it gives us 1st our boys
have won another banner. At this
writing however the matter has rot been
decided SO we do not know for sure who
will get the handicap banner.
We think we have the best high school
track team in the state and if numbers
are considered we are very sure of it as
three of our boys are very good in all
events. At the state meet Douglass
Mckay broke the state record in the
high jump going SIT. lin. and winning 8
gold medal. He also won 4th place in
the broad jump. Bart Conmy won Enc
in the shot put, and 3rd in both the dis
Gus throw and high hurdles. FREQ
Wardwell won third place in the haE

CRITICISM.

Beyond question. that agency knowl

withal in our heart to commend ma
licious gossip. Malicious gossip is
perhaps more destructive of good

described as wholesome, and con-
and which man should
be subjected to in case OF violation

GET ACQUAINTED
WITH YOUR WIFE.

THE law does not permit man
to leave his wife just because she
hags him. Justice Marean, of New
York, decides. He meant, OF course,
the law of his State. In Kentucky,
Missouri and other States, "ungov-
crnable temper and "indignities"
are cause not only for separation,
but for absolute divorce, and nag
ging may certainly be carried to the
point of indignity; while in Oregon
one may obtain a divorce IN the part
her OF ones joys, and especially Of
ones sorrows, makes life burden
some" And what can be more bur-
densOme than nagging!
However, there ought not to be
divorce, nor even separation, for no
court of justice can ever be sure that
the nagging is not justified, or at
least provoked. Some women for
instance, are born naggers; some
achieve nagging: and considerable
number of others have nagging
thrust upon them by course of con-
duct which may be Outwardly cOur-
teOus, but which in its essence is in
suppOrtably irritating.
If the nagged party has not pro-
vcked the nagging-if it is congen-
ial, or an essential part of the ma
tIre OF the nagger-then it devOlved
upon the aggrieved party to find that

tie wedding march. The world i,
full of wives and husbands who mar
ried people they did not know. Il
they suffer as the result, whose faul'
is it?
The moral of Justice Marean'
decision is, Get acquainted Will
