! WHAT'S A KISS?

What is a kiss? When offensive
and when .inoffensive2
Here are the answers laid down
by the supreme court of the German
empire: w. -
"a kiss is a reaction upon the per-
son of another.
"a kiss always requires the permis-
sion of the person kissed.
Without such permission one may
kiss onlyiif one is sure of the others
stacit consent, as in the cases of par
ents,. children and lovers
IF the hssee is not only coy but
gravely objects, it is to be assumed
that the kiss is considered an illegal
with his or her personal
freedom and a violation of his or her
honor.
s'Any one who inficts kiss in SUCH
circumstances is guilty of assault and
battery
Striped and plain Innings are as
popular as Powered Innings.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HUMBLE

Dictator Huerta may have a per-
fectly new definition of his own for
the expression, Eat humble pie" but
the one tradition handed down from
the Middle Ages is this: In Eliza
bethean days in England, a venison
pastry was considered rare good
dish-altogether too good for ''com-
mon folks" So the master of the
house reserved for himself the best
portions of the meat and left the en-
trails or, as the peasant folk called
them, the tumble pie" served to hire
lings. gradually changed to humble
pie" Deer became so scarce that
Renison pasty and pie made of UNI
bles were unknown luxuries, but the
expression, Humble. pie" chung to
its place in Englishmen's vocabulary
and finally took on the meaning it has
today to humiliate oneself, to apollo
gize for some mistake. 49,

COULD SECURE
RIVER BRIDGE
WILLISTON HAS OPPORTUNITY
TO SECURE LARGE BRIDGE
FOR RIVER

DR.. Van Dyke has been in COM
munication recently with repre:sen-
tative of Garrick & Garrick, bridge
contractors, and they have stated
that they had large bridge which
they could sell to WiIliston on Teason :
ably terms. The bridge is one they
had to take out of the Oregon Short
Line to make room for larger one.
They state they could sell the bridge
70 us for the price of old iron. The
bridge weighs about 800 tons and
the iron would therefore cost about
10000. The principal cost Of course
would be the building of the large
piers and the erecting of the bridge;
One of their men stated he believed
it could be put in for about $125,0oo
which would be great deal cheaper
than putting in new one. This
bridge is laron enou"h TO cross the
river right opposite Williston. The
benefits to be derived from such a
bridge would be great and Williston
and Williams county could afford to
make special effort to get it.

BARGES SANK BY
- GIANT VATERLAND
GREAT LINER LEAVES HUDSON
UNDER OWN POWER-TWO
COAL BOATS LOST

New York, May 26.-The great
liner Vaterland, which took nearly
four hours to dock when she came
to this port on her maiden voyage
recently, sank two coal barges as she
steamed out. Backing out OF her
berth under her own steam, her mo-
mentum carried her across the Hud-
son. She slipped in between two pleds
where coal barges, carrying 500 tons
of coal each, were tied. ....
Both barges went down almost at
once, but no lives were lost.
The Vaterland cut her way into the
slip almost to the shore. In backing
away, the water churned by her
screws snapped the lines which held
two Morgan liners. These vessels
crashed against the side Of the pier,
damaging their rails and woodwork

ANNUAL FIELD
MEET FRIDAY
THE ANNUAL FIELD MEET OF
THE SCHOOLS WAS HELD FRI.
DAY AT BRUEGGER PARK

The junior high school and upper
grades held their annual field meet
at Bruegger's park last Friday after
noon. School was dismissed from re-
cess on and a great crowd of young
people and their friends gathered
along the old race track to be thrill
ed by the various running, jumping
and throwing contests Of the day.
There were separate contests for the
girls and also for the fifth and sixth
grade boys, but the larger share Of
the trials were for the junior high
school boys who will soon be strug-
Cling for honors in the high school
proper and hoping for places in the
annual meet at the state university.
The hundred yards dash was the
first event of the afternoon and was
run in three preliminaries and final,
the winners being: first, Willis Fer
ries; second, Henry Vohs; third, Nat
Boyd.
In the fifty yards dash for fifth and
sixth grade boys, the winners were
Hubert Jaynes, Norman Falkanger,
and Nash Brainerd.
In the 22O yards dash Henry Vohs
led the string, with Robert Heffer-
nan second and Dewey Hinman third.
The half-mile relay was an exciting
one, eighth grade Annex team win
ming out over eighth grade Webster,
with seventh grade Annex third.
Hilda Monson won the basket ball
throw, Ethel Snyder being second and
Gladys Brown third.
In the girls pass ball game eighth
Annex was first and seventh Annex
second.
Theresa Ames, Mabel Merrill and
Mabel Bjerke won in that order in the
girls so yard dash.
In the boys weight and jumping
events some very good records were
made, some of them very near to
high school boys records in similar
meets.
In the broad jump for Juniors first
prize went to Willis FAIRIES, second
to John Falkanger, third to Nat
Boyd.
In the same event for fifth and
sixth graders, Hubert Jaynes carried
off the blue ribbon, Norman Falkan-
ger the red, and Stanley Bradley the
white.
The high jump was long hard con-
test finally won by Willis FAIRIES,
Henry Vohs and John Falkanger in
the order named. First prize in this
event was on at feet, inches.
Willis FAIRIES won the shot put
also, Ellis Elater being second and
Henry Vohs third.
The meet was won by the Annex
with IS points to their credit; Web
ster school earned "a points, being
handicapped by the absence through
sickness of one of their best athletes.
Altogether those in charge think
that much has been accomplished by
these contests to make boys and girls
think more of their body and it's care
and Development; such and such boy
might have won a certain event or
finished among the leaders, if his
lung power was greater,-and he
learns that he can make it greater
by proper exercises. Another failed
in the shot-put because of undevelop-
ed biceps or fore arm. The schools
try to teach that the ideal is the
"sound mind in the sound body"

RIM OVER BY AUTO

Bismarck, N. D., May 25.-How IL
was possible for seven-year-old boy
to be run over by an automobile and
escape injury was demonstrated on
the streets of Bismarck when Harlow
Griffin. son of I. w. Griffin, was
struck by Ford car owned by W. a..
Breen. a we'll known farmer. The lit.
tie fellow was riding a velocipede an&
had started across the street when he
was run over. The frame work Of his
velocopede covered him as the car
passed over him, and he only sustain-
ed a scratched elbow. The little fell
low was more concerned about hi8
velocipede than the accident that
MIGHT have caused his death.

AFTER THE ANTELOPE

We failed to mention in our little
article last week about Fergus buy
ING the Muddy Valley, or part Of it
from H. v. Smith, that he contem-
plated having herd Of antelope. He
instructed the boys to fence in forty
acres for them and said he would
bring a herd down. AS he did not
get back last Friday as promised, we
presume he is having some difficulty
in rounding up his antelope.

RECKER FOUND
GUILTY AGAIN
NEW EVIDENCE WILL BE USED
If APPEAL is GRANTED

.,ew York, May 23.-The only con-
ference for Becker, convicted yester-
day for the second time f17' the r'',r-
der of Herman Rosenthal was with
his counsel, Martin Manton and Mrs.
Becker. The basis for an appeal from
the verdict was the subject under DIS
cussion at the conference.
Becker spent. quiet night, ate
hearty breakfast and then read all the
newspaper accounts of his conviction.
The district attorney, Whitman re-
ceived the following letter from May
or Mitchell: "I have just heard OF
-,ltsc-..,.,a of the Becker case. The
whole community is under obligation
to you. Your work has been splen-
Id"
District Attorney Whitman, it was
learned, will submit to handwriting
cxrerts number Of letters which he
believes were written by Becker to
the condemned gunner, during their
stay in the Sing Sin" death house.
Letters turned over to the prosecutor
by the wife of "Lefty I.ouie" Rosen-
berg after her husbands death.
They passed from Becker to the
grrnmen, it is believed, between. the
leaves of books from the prison IL
brary which were permitted to cir
culate among the prisoners condemn
ed to death.
Although writer in a disguised
handwriting, the district attorney be-
lieves they came from Becker. Whit
man is holding them in reserve for an
opportunity to use them as evidence
against Becker in the latter's efforts
to obtain reversal of judgment from
the court of appeals.
