PLAN REUNION
OF NORSEMEN

Milton. n. D, Jan. 12.-One Of he
greatest propositions ever attempted
in Cavalier county is now under way
in the launching of a grand annual
ball and entertainment for the Scan
.dinavians of Cavalier, Walsh and
Pembina counties, to be held in Mil
ton each year. Plans are already un-
der way for the first big event Of this
kind, which will be held in Milton on
Lincoln's birthday, Feb. II.
Plans of entertainment have as yet
not been perfected, but nothing has
been overlooked that may add to the
big features of the day will be the
grand ball, at which Scandinavian
dances will be danced to Scandinavian
music. In addition a programme of
Scandinavian music. song folk
dances and polkas is being planned
in fact a regular carnival of enter
tainment. Another. big feature will
be the big supper at which Swedish,
Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic
dishes will be served by maids in ma
tional costumes of their country, if
possible.
Ample accommodations for any
size crowd IS being provided for. AL
ready three large halls have been en-
gagged, and more room will be added
as required. The entertainment will
not be operated for profit only a
charge sufficient to cover expenses
will be charged. and people of every
nationality are invited to attend, even
If they do not belong to the Scandi-
navian race.
The purpose of the association is to
provide an opportunity for the Morse
men of the northeastern part of
North Dakota to get together once
each year and talk owe old times and
to again listen to and enjoy real old
time entertainment and supper.

WAS
MISLEADING
COUPLE WHO GAVE CHILD INTO
CARE OF MRS. MABEL TREAT
OF MINNEAPOLIS, GAVE THEIR
ADDRESS AS ROUTE 5 FARGO r.
r. DINO SUCH ROUTE.

That the address, and probably the
names, of the couple who placed a
baby in the care of Mrs. Mabel Treat
of Minneapolis, a short time ago, were
fictitious, seems evident from the
fact that there is no route 8 on the
rural routes out of Fargo.
Mrs. Treat vas arrested a short
time ago In Minneapolis for abandon
ing the baby on Lake of the Isle boule-
ward, and said in her confession that
she got the baby through an adyer-
tisement.
She met the couple at n OF the
hotels. They were registered as Mr..
and Mrs. John Olsen Of Fargo, n. ID.
The young mai said that the girl was
really his sister.
The couple asked her to take the
baby and to care for 1t, n agreed to
pay her $40 a month to board the
| child. They paid her nothing at the
time. saying that they had no money,
but would send her a payment shortly,
She got no money, and, after a con
| siderable time, wrote to n address
but without avail. She then arranged
to give the baby to a VINO
wished to adopt a child. Later. the
woman returned the child. saying il
was not healthy. Mrs. Treat said thai
she was almost penniless and a tvs
other babies boarding with her at the
time. and that she could see no othel
way out of the dilemma except te
leave the baby on the doorstep OF
some well-to-do family.
She and John krusik, who lived witt
her. state that they put this plan int
execution, and left the baby on a door,
step on Lake of the Isles boulevard
The child was found later in the snow
and the couple were traced and ar.
rested. They will be arraigned for sen
tence today.

The Ideal Newspaper in Switzerland.

Westminster Gazette: The delegates
to the association of the Swiss Press,
assembled at Soleure, have embodied
their conception of the ideal newspa-
per in a series of detailed resolutions
which they have carried unanimously.
The newspaper being, in their view,
"the sole intellectual provender of the
masses" the news editor should care
fully exclude:
i. An court news. unless it is of
historical Importance.
2. All personal gossip.
3. All sensational news, such as re-
ports of suicides.
4. All improbable news.
5. All news circulated in the inter-
est OF a party.
A further resolution, consequential
to the above, ran as follows:
That the Swiss press, in order that
1t may conform to these requirements,
has the right to rely upon the support
of a clear sighted public, and. to ex-
pect the public to refuse to read all
Journals which violate these condi-
lions.
The ~corrollary certainly seems es-
sentiai to the successful execution OF
these counsels OF perfection,

COTTON CROP NOT IN 1T.
Value of Live Stock i'm Iowa Worth
More Than SOuth's Cotton.

The cotton crop of the south is its
most valuable asset and nearly all
the southern states grow cotton. The
value of the live stock of Iowa is
greater than all the cotton grown in
the south.
Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Ala
bama are the leading cotton pro-
ducing states OF the south. Their an
nual output runs into the thousands
of bales, yet the value of the horses
raised in Iowa is greater than the
value of the cotton grown in either
of these states.
This information comes from Das
Moines, where the comparisons were
made, and has been sent out to the
Commercial clubs of the state to show
that while the south is clamoring for
the rest of the nation to buy it's cot
ton to save it from bankruptcy,
Iowa is going along about its bust
ness and is not demanding of the rest
of the country that it buy its live
stock to prevent it from perishing.

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST.
Robert T.. Selnes, of Luther, VIII
Represent That College for
State Oratorical HonOrs.

The Luther College Oratorical
Contest was held Monday evening
Dec. IA at the College Auditorium.
This contest is held for a double pur-
pose; first to decide the winner OF
the prize awarded by the Luther Col
lege Club of Southern Wisconsin, sec
ondly to choose the college represen-
tative to the divisional state oratori-
cal contest. The speaker, Robert (.
Selnes, who received the best rank
in delivery, thought and composition,
will be the Luther College orator con-
testing for the state honors.
This contest surprised all previous
oratorical attempts in both quality
of Grafton and eloquence. The sub
jects were live questions of the day
which everybody is interested In.
They dealt mostly with social devel-
opment and national problems that
are discussed nation wide in this
critical time. The speakers stepped
forward and exrounded these ideas
with so great eloquence and such firm
convictions that all present admitted
this to be the best local contest ever
held in the college auditorium.
A greater incentive has been plac-
ed for oratory at Luther since it Join
ed the Iowa state Dratorical Associa-
ton so this accounts for the marked
advance in eloquence and modern
thought Hereafter oratory will have
a prominent place in the college work
of students AMI therefore public
speaking will be making rapid strides
forward.
