chestra and soloists are offering
Grand Forks a genuine treat; a fes.
tival of music that for excellence has
never been presented here before

That Grand Forks appreciates this

Orval McHafie's Ora,ion.

The Present Crisis in Our Demo-
crazy" was the comprehensive sub
ject of Orval McHafie's grafton.
Among other things he said:
In the heart of every true Ameri-
can citizen there is a love Of freedom
and a desire for prosperity and hap
piness. which he inherits from those
ancestors whose mission was the pur-
suit of life. liberty and prosperity.
Born With such rudiments Of demo-
cracy. the individual has learned to
respect the American flag and has as
sumed that America stands for liberty
and equality. But does he know the
real. practical value of those privileges
OF liberty; does he fully know and
realize in his every day life that
America has adopted a constitution
which stands for liberty and equality;
and does he know what he is entitled
to when he becomes a citizen under
such a constitution? Has he lived up
TO that constitution. n has he done
his duty in maintaining the principles
OF democracy ono won for him? In
answering these questions let us ION.
slider the activities of the American
people Of today and see whether we
are really living in a democracy.
There never was q richer, more
period than ours. The peaceful evolu-
ton of the American people in COM
parative liberty in the United States.
has shown the most tremendous ad-
vancement ever known to the human
race. During the last half century the
American people have developed the

Of the greatest industrial and

has sprung the modern printing press
and u educational institutions
through. which the average intelli-
fence Of the people of the United
States has been raised above that of
the people of any previous period of
the worlds history.
Thus. on the n hand. industrially
and educationally. we have made tre-
mendous progress. But. on the other
hand. there have been simultaneously
and insidiously developed conditions
in America which have so undermined
the principles Of liberty and equality.
upon which u constitution is based,
that those principles are now becom-

long as those conditions last. We
find these conditions in our govern

Your Fall
Vacation

II you are one of those who prefer
an autumn vacation and are wonder
ing where you will go this year,
come in and let me tell you Of the
pleasures and benefits Of camping
trip In the Rockies. For genuine
enjoyment, there is scarcely anything
that can compare with trip OF this
kind.
Those who have camped out once
in the Rockies need no invitation to
come again, and those who want an
outing different from the ordinary
can do nothing better. The climate
is very dependable, railroad facilities
are excellent and good roads and
trails lead of into the mountains in
all directions-these, combined with
good fishing, scenic attractions and
tonic atmosphere, make camp life
positively ideal
Outfits may be rented or pur-
chased outright at reasonable prices
at any Of the larger towns. The
question Of just where to go may
easily be decided upon after reaching
Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake
or whatever may be your stopping
point, or beforehand by a perusal Of
our Colorado and Utah tllder. Your
copy is waiting for you. j n. Robin
