held tonight in the auditorium of the

dancing commencing at 8 o'clock. The

MlDDIES TO ENTER REGATTA.
Formally AnnOunced That Crews Win
be Sent to the American Henley
at Philadelphia.

Formal announcement that the
midshipmen oarsmen will be permit
ted to participate in the American
He nley regatta at Philadelphia on
May 81, furnished decided impetus
to rowing at the Naval Academy.
1t was practically settled last fall
that the middies would be allowed to
enter this classy event on the Schuyl-
kill this year, but definite announce
ment has just been made, aud .enta-
tive plans already are being laid for
the trip to the Quaker City. Under
present arrangements it is proposed
to enter first. second and frashmen
eights, and tour-oared crew.
Since the Academy authorities
recently limited the distance of all
races to be rowed on the Severn to
$50 yards, it was feared that the
schedule this year would be rather
weak. That is the same distance over
which the Henley races are rowed,
and by their early spring training tbs
middies should be able to get into
good trim for the regatta.
Tn only local race so far arranged
is that between Varsity and Fresh
men crews of the University of Penn
sylvsnia and the Navy varsity and
fourth class eight, t. take place on
the Severn on May "a.
The management of rowing at the
Academy has been notified by the
stewards of the American Rowing
Association that a special cup !.

A MOTHERS MISTAKE.

Spartanburg Herald: Vincent Astor's
mother has come back from Europe to
persuade her son to quit amusing HIM
SELF With farm experiments on his
inherited estate. 1t seems that he has
been spending money and a good deal
Of his time on the farm and says that
1t is his hope to be Of assistance to
other farmers who have less time and
money for experiments by trying, out
various things and letting the results
be known. This Is what his mother
evidently considers a waste of time
and money or an occupation beneath
an Astor's notice or something of that
sort. Anyway, she is going after him
to make him quit.
Well, she Is making a mistake In
the first place though of course she
could not be expected to comprehend
this, it is most delightful occupation
to spend ample means upon agricul-
tural experiments. It takes no end of
money, but the point is that the doing
of that sort of thing is fascinating.
1t Is also perfectly innocent, whole
some, more or less useful activity.
Young Vincent Astor might easily be
spending himself and his money on
any one Of score of worse occupa-
tions. If the mother draws him away
from the farm she may find ere long
that he left a safer for a worse course
in life.
AS it is now vincent Astor probably
knows what it is to sleep well. have a
good appetite and feel useful to his
fellow men. Not all millionaires by a
long shot enjoy these basic blessings
of mortal life. II young Astor knows
himself and the deeper secrets Of life
he will decline to quit even ar the
solicitation of his mother.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE;
in HIGH SCHOOL
MooRHEAD SOPHOMORE GIRLS
WILL HAVE ELECTIVE COURSE.
IN PRACTICAL COOKING AS
WELL AS SEWING. THIS
YEAR.

In chat with Superintendent Ed
wards this morning he said that upon
the very urgent request of the inspec-
tor Of high schools, the board of edu-
cation Of Moorhead has provided for
a department in domestic science.
Last year the school offered a years
course in sewing to the freshmen girls
and this year the school will be eq1ip :.
ped to offer practical course in cook
ing to the sophomore girls,
Plans are also being perfected for
the beginning of a practical CONNER
cial course in the high school. This
work may be begun this year and 1t is
expected that the department will de-
velop with the demands. Thus, every
effort is being made to offer the young
people a practical high school train
ing. The high school has more than
doubled during the past four years ana
1T has kept the board busy fitting up
additional room and providing for the
increase. The school will receive $3.50
more from the. state next year and
with the addition Of two more depart
ments, our income from the state
might be increased by an additional
$4,000 to $4,000. The state Is making
very liberal provision for the schools
that are progressive and Moorhead
must have a school as good as the
best &sS $ss E4ft3 3ssF

v ORKMAN NOT FINED
Prominent Automobile Dealer Arrest
ed by Mistake Because of No
Number on Demonstrating Car.

w. II. Workman, the we'll known N.
P. avenue automobile dealer, was ar
rested by a local patrolman for driving
without a license on his automobile
He was brought before Judge Miller in
police court and explained that the car
was demonstration. Judge Miller did
not hold him nor impose any fine.
A new city ordinance was ordered
drafted several weeks ago on motion
of Commissioner Stern. proposing that
special license tags be issued the auto
mobile dealers of the city for demon
strating cars, which would bear the
letter ID" with a serial number. This
license tag is to be made interchange
able so that it can be transferred from
one demonstration to another. The or
dinance has not yet been reported back
to the commission
Until its passage there can be no
way to hold Mr.. Workman nor any
other dealer under the state law while
driving a demonstrator without a IL
cense tag.

Evening Grain Letter.

lt s
Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Wheat: Wheat
has gained 3s cent for the day on q
distinctly stronger foreign situation,
further good export sales and better
foreign inquiry. Outside interest is at
a very low ebb. but the trade in gen.
eral more interested In coarse grains
than anything else at the present
time. Farmers throughout the belt
are not making any new sales and all
this wheat arriving Is on old sale ac-
count. After these marketings are
over the situation will tighten ma
terially. Weather in the sprlny wheat
country on both sides of the border
distinctly unfavorabIe and warm
weather is imperativeIy needed. We
favor purchases at the closing levels.
Corn: Trade in corn has been
largely professional and the news to
a certain extent against the price.
Market closes tonight with a net gain
Of as@kc largely on heavy buying
by the leading long interest. Cash
markets reflected the advance in
futures only. There were further
rains shown on this mornings map in
all the principal surplus producing
states and more indicated by the
weather bureau. This y condition at
least will be of great benefit to
pastures.
Oats: Show a net loss for the day
Of about "a cent, due largely to the
weak cash situation and as expected
increase in new oat movement. There
was considerable selling Of September
by the cash interests who found cash
demand poor. Local stocks of over
100000 bushels are discouraging the
bulls.
