Gold Medal Contest,

The second Biblical Orator.
cal Gold Medal contest will be
held on Tuesday, November %,
at eight o'clock p. m. at the
Lutheran church, where seats
will be provided for all.
Aside from the contest work
a good musical program will be
provided, and not only is every
one welcome, but is urged to
come.
In these times when there
are so many things to take up
the attention of our school
children the Bible is often the
last book to be consulted or
else is neglected altogether,
and therefore it is gratifying to
note the interest shown bv our
townspeople in these contests,
while the goodwill and har-
mony prevailing in the offer
ent schools taking part in the
work is encouraging to the
general committee.
Surely if ever the nations re.
quired a chart of guidance it is
at this time when Christian is
arrayed against Christian in
bitterest hatred, and the Cry
of Rachel mourning for her
children and will not be COM
forted because they are not" is
heard throughout the world.
We hang our heads in shame
when we think of what the
heather lands must say of our
Wanted civilization.
Encourage the children now
to study the words of the Gen.
tie Nazarine and the world
will soon see peace.

Confirmation Services,

Sunday, Nov. IA, Rev. H. N.
Bake confirmed a class of
seven young people in Salems
church. The day was ideal 80
that the sweet, musical tones of
the new "Blymyer" bell. just
being tried out that dav, reach
ed far and wide and sort of
made it more festive all around.
The church was crowded to the
doors with friends and relatives
of the confirmants. Following
are the names of those confirm
ed: Karl Silverstson. Selma
Larson, Eddie Johnson, Edith
Johnson, Aria Olson, Emelia
Nelson, Alta Bjornseth.

nIaN SCHOOL NOTES

A beginners orchestra is now
being organized.
Class meetings have been
frequent. A tinge of mystery
prevails all. Even the Fresh
men have followed suit.
It is rumored that the Fresh
men will entertain the Juniors
Friday evening. No doubt
it will be a great success
In looping the loop this year
for basketball, the trip will in
clude Kenmare and Minot with
return games. Minot h a 9
never played here and assures
us a very exciting time.
The Juniors suddenly had a
great desire to make known
their class colors. As a conse-
quence orange and black are
very prominent.
By means of the state aid
fund the high school is able to
secure two of the greatest en-
cyclopedias, the new eleventh
edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica" and Nelson's
Perpetual Loose Leaf Encyclo-
pedia."
The Elson Art exhibit held
at the high school Nov. 10, II
and IL was a great success. An
interesting program was rem
dered each evening and all at
tending seemed we'll pleased.
The proceeds will allow at least
one picture to be placed in each
room of the public schools.
The busy week was brought
to a close by the seniors enter
tanning the sophomores and
faculty at the high school on
Saturday evening. Games
were played in the gym after
which light refreshment were
served. Many that reminds
me- and inpromptu speeches
were given. The party broke
up at a late hour with three
cheers for the seniors.
The first basketball game of
the season was played Friday
when the senior boys
challenged the rest of the
school with a result of 80 to 10
respectively. A challenge al
ways has the desired effect or
else the other classes would
have trembled in fear as they
stood before those mighty
seniors. Class spirit was evil
dent and had good roofing been
any benefit the other classes
would certainly have made a
better showing.

The Presbyterians at Mandan
will erect a $25, 600 house of
worship the coming year.

Farmers on the Des Laos
river near Burlington are up in
arms because the beavers are
cutting down the trees along
the shores and dammine up
the stream. The little workers
have gone back as far as 20
rods from the river and cut
down large trees, transporting
them back to the dam. Just
how they manage to do this is
a mystery to the neighbors, be-
cause the beavers never work
in the daytime when they can
be observed. As the beavers
are protected there is no legal
way in which to stop their de-
predations.

LET MUSIC SWELL THE BREEZE

From Maine to California, music is
beginning to be heard in nearly every
home in our Nation. Orchestras, big
and small, bands of all classes are
tuning up, men with souls in their
faces are presiding at great organs
and sending out strains that seem to
be the f%orerunner of the heaven that
most of us desire. Men and women
are singing JOY into the hearts Of
thousands. The evenings in more
homes and one can count there is
music to please and inspire and drive
away care and subdue worry. Let US
hear all the real music we can. 1t is
divine.
If you believe your Bible, and most
of US do, the world that is to come
is to be blessed with rich music Of
harps and thousands of wonderful in
struments that we do not know Of.
And it will be heaven because of the
music.
Hear all the good music you can for
good harmony produced a bad
impulse nor impelled an unworthy
one.
Have you v e me a person who
literally had no music in his soul? It
is not always because nature failed to
endow the person with love Of tho
beautiful. 1t is because the advant-
ages of music were denied them. IF
the piano is a valuable addition to the
home, it should find a place there ar
ly enough to influence the children at
their most susceptible age. 1t will
pay for itself a thousand times over,
in the home entertainment, and in
keeping the family circle intact. It
encourages singing and finds the
hearts and the homes with happiness.
So don't put off buying the piano.
Don't wait until you can "afford it."
You can afford it right now, today.
Investigate and you will learn how
our from factory to home plan of SELL
ing enables you to purchase a piano
OF real musical merit and recognized
durability at a price and terms which
you can easily afford.
Don't put it off. Examine the adj
vantages that are now in your pos
session. 1t is your golden opportun-
ity.
You are invited to call at my home
in Bottineau and inspect sample in
struments or a postal request will
bring catalog and information gladly
sent. Why not call or write today?
