School Field Day
Splendid Success

Yesterdays public school field day
was a success and Coach Mclean is
well pleased with the showing made
by the students of the different
schools. The day was ideal for the
sports and the gaines were attended
by 1000 people, mostly students.
Every school contesting in the games
was supported by r%ooters, each school
having a yell master and their own
songs and yells. A committee COM
posed of Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Tighe and
Mr.. Hoisington awarded the school

The southern captive, dying in the
prison, did not recognize the lawyer

He was surprised that Lincoln had
not read the speech in the paper and
insisted that h listen while the small

When he had finished, Lincoln real

ISLAND PARK ICE Kinks WILL
AGAIN BE FLOODED FOR WIN

YOUNG PEOPLE THIS YEAR,

Fargo's young people will again
have the advantage of the Island park
ice skating rink this year without cost

sion this morning voted to flood the
Kinks with water free of cost to thee
park board.
The park commission was recently
served notice hat it would be charged
for the turning in of the water in the
Island park ice Kinks this year. The
members o. the board did not feel
they could afford this and also felt
that it was as much the city's duty to-
help provide a place for this healthy
winter sport for Fargo's young people
as it was theirs.
The park board is already under a.
heavy expense maintaining a warming
house by the Kinks, a caretakor there

feels is its full quota for this provi-l
sion.

sioners this morning in behalf of the
park board We're Sen. w. p, Porter
held, DresiGent of the board, and J. p.
Hardy. Senator Porterield presented
the claim Of theN park commissioners
and urged the contribution Of the wat
tr from the city free of cost, other,
wise he felt the board would not be,
able to provide the young people and
the children of the city this pleasure
this year.
The senator stated the park board
was doing all it could to give the citi-
zens of Fargo every comfort and en-
Joyment so far as pleasures were, con-
cerned and that it was felt the city
and even the board OF education
should contribute their share in pro-
viding for this children's pleasures.
The ice Kinks, ne said, had been en-
loyed in Island park for a period OF
ton years and he thought it would be
a deplorable thing to deprive the chill
dren Of this sport now. Mr.. Hardy
also a member OF the park board. sup
plemented Senator Porterfield's re-
marks with a number Of timely sug-
gestions on the subject.
On motion of Commissioner Stern,
the city commissioners voted to food
the Island park Kinks with water free
of cost to the park board, which will
insure winter skating again this year

CLOSE GAME AT
NOORHEAD HIGH

The juniors and freshmen Of the
Moorhead High school defeated the
seniors and s~ophomores by a 8 to 0
score in a hard fought game on the
normal grounds yesterday afternoon.
Neither side was able to score until
the last five minutes of play, when d
drop kick by Melvin Hearl gave the
junior-freshman team the only score
Of the game. Hearl also made a
spectacular fifty yard run when he
intercepted a forward pass, out he was
tackled before he could cross the goal
line.
The senior-sophomore team is said
to have a number of we'll drilled Sec
ond team men in it, while the junior
freshman team had only one practice,
n for that reason the Juniors and
freshmen feel much elated over their
victory, even though the margin of
victory was so very narrow.

made today by h forestry committee
at the fifth National Conservation
congress.
Forests must be protected, the COM
mittee adds, not so much in localities
which already suffer from lack of
moisture al in regions which lie in the
path Of prevailing winds and are still
abundantly supplied both with ground
water and precipitation. In the At
lantic plain, therefore, and in the
southern ~Appalachians, the gateways
for the prevailing winds from the Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic ocean, for
ests must be especially conserved If
the humidity of the great central bas-
in Of the country, the granary of the
continent, is to be maintained.
Where the clearing of the forest In
the Atlantic and gulf states is a me-
cessity, it should be done only under
the condition that the cleared land Is
to be devoted to intense cultiVationd
as, after forests. crops contribute most
to the moisture of the air. Forests

these southeastern forests act as a,
moisture reservoir for the water
which falls Upon them and is in turn
taken up and passed on again.
BY safeguarding the humidity in

further inland ought to get more rain.

NEARLY HAD THE LEPRECHAUN
Elusive Fairy Played Mean Trick on
Peasant Who Had Fairly Made
Him His Prisoner.

The story Of the boy who was ex-
hibited throughout Scotland as a gen.
uine Irish leprechaun leads one to ask
what exactly a leprechaun is, for, of
course, each variety of fairy has it's
special characteristics. The lepre-
chaun is peculiar to Ireland, and is
in the form of a little old man., by
profession a maker Of brogues. He
is only discovered by the sound of
the hammering of his brogues, and
any one capturing him can induce
him by threats to reveal where his
wealth Is hidden. But no one yet has
laid hands on that wealth, for if you
take your eye off of the leprechaun for
as much as a second he has the power
of vanishing, however tight you may
hold him. And his ingenuity in max
ing you glance away is always sue
cessful.
Only one did that ingenuity fail,
and even then the treasure escaped
unpillaged. A careful peasant, proof
against all temptations, kept his y
on the little brogue maker until the
money was revealed in a field of rag
wort. But he had no bag. So he tied
his garter round the particular plant
under which the money was hid, and
went to fetch one, only to find on his
return that every ragwort in the field
was adorned with a red garter.

UNLIMITED PLAYER IN GAME
Safe to Say Hawk Achieved No Pop
ularlty Through His Appear
ance on Golf Links.

After making a long shot from the
tee on the Hackensack golf links, H.
o. Yerkes watched the ball as it sped
through the air. 1t was one of those
drives which the average player
thinks that he ought to make all the
time.
Mr.. Yerkes had not bargained for IN
reference with the ball, and he was
amazed to see a big hawk follow the
white speck. When the ball fell to the
fair green the hawk was seen to alight
on 1t and carry 1t away. Mr.. Yerkes
was d~umfounded, as was also his op-
ponent, George w. Lyle. But even
they had not bargained on evil inten-
lions of the bird. Therefore, they
were still more surprised when the
hawk dropped the ball farther down
the fair green. but In a very bad spot
in a bunker. Mr.. Yerkes was disp1eas-
ed that such a fine drive had been
spoiled, and his friend was somewhat
gratified.
Mr.. Yerkes thought he ought to be
permitted to put the ball back where
it landed before the bird picked it up.
but Mr.. Lyle declared that he thought
his opponent ought to let the ball lie
where it was and count an extra shot.
However, 1t was determined that it
was a rub of the green, and Mr.. Yerkes
took more than one to get out of the
bunker.

Attractive Blouse of White Chinese
Crepe.

the seasons novelty in blouse acces-
series. Indeed, odd girdles and sashes
have played an important part this
year in the s~artorial world. 7
With all the absorbing interest there
is in novelty trimmings and elaborate
decorative designs, it is interesting to
note that many Of the prettiest blouse
models show the utmost simplicity.
Much of their effect is, of course, due
to beauty Of material which soft drap.
ings and graceful lines show up to
the best advantage, but something
also is to be accredited to the fact
that a contrast is always appreciated.
An effectively simple model is here
sketched. 1t is developed in ivory
white Chinese crepe, which washes
beautifully. The front sleeves and
back are attached by hemstitched
perling to a deep shoulder yoke that
has its corners caught together under
the arms. The sleeve is gathered into
a deep cuff that is finished with a
deep plated ruff1e Of self-material and
trimmed with a dull blue embroidered
button and loop on the upper edge.
The button and loop arrangement is
repeated on opposite sides of the
cross-over blouse fronts just over the
belt. A small yoke with an attached
low collar of shadow lace fills in the
V-shaped space at the neck.

What One Sparrow Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany,
according to Leslie's Magazine. A
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees Large fiocks of sparrows were
In the trees, and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble particu-
larly well aimed struck a sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver of the car. The bird struck him
full in the face, and in the next in
slant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the ditch, knocked down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to a plowed
field on the other side of the ditch
and went full force into a huge hay
stack. Despite this wild swerve no
n was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate it.
