By defeating the Langdon high
school debating team at Langdon, the
Park River team won the right to ap-

supposed to meet before last Friday
but the date vas postponed. The de-
cision vas unanimously for the Park

was Resolved. that North Dakota

vators in Wisconsin and Minnesota
The winning team had the negative
side, while Langdon supported the af-
firnlative.
The winning team was composed Of
Thurman Thompson, Clarence Bate
man and Russell Pharr. Their p
nents were Misses Hortense Monroe,
Gertrude Wienecke and John Rob-

FOR SANDWICHES

In spite OF what philosophers tell
o TO the contrary. there really is
something new under the sun. it ie
a sandwich holder &c sterling silver
that fits upon the rim of the saucer
that holds the cup OF afternoon tea.
This boon to tea drinkers was de.
signed by a woman who for years has
sat helplessly by and watched her
guests struggle awkwardly witt, their
sandwiches, for which there is never
adequate oom on the saucer. The
new convenience is an ornament as
we'll as a necessity. In sha pc and size
it represents a grape leaf, slightly
upturned at the outer edges. The
graceful veining in the natural leaf
is initiated by delicate tracings on the
silver surface, n attached to it is a
stem and tendrils that are ~cleverly
twisted into tiny loops that fit over
the brim Of the saucer.
h woman who invented this new
est addition to afternoon tea comfort
is a person Of wealth and social posi-
ton. She sketched the idea and gave
it to a silversmith to work out, The
distinction Of being the originator
and the pleasure OF owning the first
set ever made seems to have been
compensation enough to this woman,

diture may now possess them,

WHAT THE RIVERS CARRY.

FROM every square mile drained by
the Mississippi Sc tons of salts are de-
posted annually in the Gulf of Mex
leo. The average outflow of the riv-
or is placed at $4,000 cubic feet per
second. and from the analysis of this
water the amount of material In solu-
ton transported by the Mississippi
has been calculated. 1t reaches the
enormous quantity Of 10S,432. 900 tons
per Year.
The amount Of sediment carried by
the Mississippi in addition to these
salts is enormous. The quantity de.
iivered annually to the Gulf of Mex
Sl2,0O0,000,00 pounds, or about 40S,-
O0O, 900 tons.
These figures are the result Of an
investigation Of the quality Of west
ern stream waters made by the U. 8,
Geological survey, to determine their
fitness for irrigation.
The average discharge of silt and
mud per year by the Colorado river
amounts to $4,000, 900 tons. In addi-
ton to the suspended solid matters
carried by this river, there are also
enormous quantities of dissolved sub
stances transported into the sea.
These dissolved salts are 4,550,OOO
tons Of common salt. %3.74O,0OO tons of
Glauber's salts, 1000, 900 tons Of lime,
100000 tons of gypsum and 4.SOO.-
600 tons OF magnesium sulphate or
EPSON salts, making a total of 49,
100000 tons Of dissolved matter an
nuallE carried into the Gulf of Cali
fornia by this river. In spits of this
enormous amount Of dissolved matter,
the Colorado river is not considered to
be q stream of high naturalization
for the western section Of this coun-
try. This was due to the fact that the
mou of water is go enormous in
proportion to the dissolved salts, that
they are only u very small proportion
Of the total discharge.
The concentration of the salts in
the Elm Fork of the Red River, in
Oklahoma, is by far more than that
III the Colorado. This particular river
annually discharges 1900. 900 tons OF
common salt. which is equal to 1850
tons per square mile OF area drained,
while the discharge of salt from the
colorado" is 60 tons per square mile.
The total amount OF salt annually car
ried away by the Elm Fork river is
2,3S9,00 n
1t must be borne in mind. however.
that these quantities. vast as they are.
represent only 81 fraction OF the total
matter transported. The mud, sand.
salt and products Of rock decomposi-
ton arc deposited along the entire
course Of the river. and what propor-
ZION of the whole at last finds its way
INTO the ocean nc one can say, but the
fraction cannot be large.

runs ON THE BANK
Psychology of Ignorant Dcp">itor Re
mMins an I~ncxplicable Problem.

The psychology of the ignorant
bank depositor will remain as n Of
tho inexplicabtc and cnigmatical prob
lens in the mental makeup of human
beings. That q. run should start upon
the oldest savings institution in New
Ynrk city. founded in 1919. is worthy
Of comment chiefly because it prives
that NJ 1duciary institution is beyond
the reach OF the runnor monger. But
i'm this case the officials OF the bank
seem powrrleSs to discover eve what
the runiurs were. The ~deEcsitors who
Withdrew their savings appeared to be
"dazed' and actually at a loss to en-
plain their actions. IT. is this blind inn
pulse. not unlike the spirit of the mob.
which is nnaccountablc. Yet the fact
remains that the Bank OF Savings,
with assets amounting to nearly S10S.-
100000 found itself confronted with a
run. small, Of course. but none the less
a. run.
It's president and vice president were
able to hear but three rilmors each OF
which served to establish in an ANA
ing fashion the psychology of the de-
positors who were doing al act where
by they knew they would q their
interest. y news report gave these gu
morS in the words of the officials
themselves:
According TO President Trimble
Vice President Stevens, no clue to the
origin of the run,ors that caused the
run has been discovered. Ono deposi'
tor said Mr.. Stevens. asserted hat he
had heard that our treasurer hat
~absconded. We have no treasurer
Another deDositor had heard that one
of the trustees was a defaulter. Our
trustees have nothing to do with hand

bic, said she had heard I had told
my wife that intended to withdraw
