!. Grand Forks, N. D., Nov.25--
The program of the mid-winter
fair at Grand Forks in February
will be the best that has ever been
given in the state at a similar meet
ing. Secretary Moore is now in
correspondence with some top
nochers@ with. a view. to securing
their attendance at the fair, and
among these are men who are re,
ognized all over the world as an-
thorities on the topics they will
discuss. The gathering is educa
tional in every sense, and stuck
to the plan of having the programs
so arranged that every person
present can get something which
is worth while.
The fair and convention are
maintained by the management
without general appeals for aid
and it has been possible i'm the
past to handle the financial en- :
on this basis, and at.:the same
', time offer a list of. premiums
which are sufficient value to in
duce sharp competition. 1t is the
determination of the management
that fthe meeting shall not be
! made a burden to the people ot

OF them. The attendance last
year was greater than ever be-
fore, and so we'll pleased were

a number of new store buildings
and many fine dwellings.
1t is true this city is growing,
not with any boom, nor as fast as

KEROSENE TO Be USED FOR
POWER IN AUTOMOBILES

An automobile with a special
carburetor for using kersoene has
just been driven from Indianapo-
lis TO San Francisco at total cost
of $26. This amounts to about
81 per passenger or less than the
cost of shoes should one under
take to cover the distance on foot
The statement of the maker of the
device that the engine sang as
sweetly all through the $500
miles as those using gasoline may
be taken as interesting testimony

the use of kerosene is now per-
fectly feasible and that it is des-

West is the coach not only, for
the boys but for the girls also.
We purchased a new basket ball
this week as the old one is get

poets for two splendid teams are
excellent and accordingly we may
say that the outlook for many
interesting games is promising.
Fortunately Thanksgiving is
here and for that reason it has
been decreed that the students
should enjoy another vacation.
Accordingly there is no school on
Thursday and Friday Of this week.
Would that the Pilgrims had set
aside more days of Thanksgiving
throughout the year.
The Seniors had their final clas
meeting on the matter of class
emblems on Monday night. Mr..
Jacobs from Chicago was pres
ent with 500 samples Of pins and
q large assortment of rings. If I
am not mistaken this is the first
time in the history Of the Senior
class that this matter has been
conducted ON such q large scale.
Rings have practically been de-
:eiaeds npea- In fact sixteen have
been ordered. A few may get the
pins. Both pins and rings are Of
the same design. We expect to
be wearing either the pins or the
rings by Christmas vacation.

THREE CUTS PLENTY.

We printed In these columns the
|other day problem submitted to the
Observation-Disclosures by Prof. Cal
vim H. Woodward, former dean OF
Washington University. The problem
was as follows.
A miner asks for room and board
at hotel for fifty days. He Is told
that the price is 81 a day. He has
no money. but he has heavy gold
chain with fifty links, each worth a
dollar. He agrees with the landlord
to cut the chain and pay one link
each day. AT the end of fifty days
the miner will redeem the chain and
have it soldered together.
The miner does not wish to cut the
chain any more than is necessary.
How many, links will 1t be absolutely
necessary for him to cuts
The question of making change
with the links enters into the prob
lem very strongly. The answer is
| the smallest number of links that
will be necessary for him to sever.
The problem was published origin.
