Possibly the most important excuse
for a revival and modernzation Of the
polka is that it is easy to learn and
enjoyable to dance. In the polka you
hop rather than slide which is exactly
opposite to the usual steps in our other
present day dances. This hop. II not
exaggerated, is most graceful.

ABERDEEN JOINS THE
"....a .:.a ANTI-SALoON CITIES

Aberdeen, S. D., April 21.-Fifteen
towns in this state were gained for
the dry forces and only one was lost,
Salem going from dry to wet by a ma
jority of 10 votes. .@'
Among the towns voted dry are:
Mitchell, Milbank, Madison, Rapid
City, Platte, Farmer and Custer.
The eyes Of South Dakota people in
general have been turned to this city,
where, for the first time In history, a
real fight was put up by the anti-sa-
loon forces.
The vote was declared tie, the
vets and the drys each polling 1885
votes out of total Of 2,74S cast. Sew
enty-eight ballots were either blank,
enormously marked or thrown out be-
cause of failure of judges to stamp
ballots coming in by registered spe-
cial delivery mail.

pected from this source, the judges in

ing, which was kept up until late
hour. During the evening DR.. Hunt
sang two delightful numbers, which
were greatly enjoyed by all. The So
cial concluded with the serving Of a
buffet lunch about midnight.
There was splendid meeting of the
Parent-Teachers on Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in the eighth grade room
Of the Richie school building. The at.
tendance was good, and Miss Peterson
gave fine talk on "The Relative
Value of Music in the School Corricu-
lum." A double quartet from the High
school furnished the music for the
meeting. Mrs. Frank Bailey was elect
ed as delegate, and Mrs. E. A Pray as
substitute, to the state conference of
the national Congress of Mothers to
be held at Bismarck next Wednesday
and Thursday, May 9Th and 18th.
The next meeting of the Parent
Teachers will be held in two weeks,
and will be an evening session, held
in the assembly room of the High
school, and at that meeting it is ex-
pected that DR.. E. A. Pray will give a
talk before the Parent-Teachers.

and SO on city commissioner. In the
Fourth ward, IS wet votes were
thrown out for the same reason, J. NJ.
Lawson, a Judge of election, refusing
to stamp the ballots when they came
in on the ground that the city auditor
should have stamped them.
Every effort has been put forth by
the dry forces to win the fight in Alb
erdeen, and on the other hand, it is
said that the wet forces did all they
possibly could to save the town for
the liquor interests. The business
men of the city organized into dry
league, there were dry rallies and the
support of the Aberdeen News was
given to the dry forces. Charges that
"foaters" had been brought into the
city to vote for the saloons have been
made and the matter will be fought
to the end by both vets and drys.

courier-News Approves NormaIonians
Fargo, April 2S.-Steadily warming
to their work until in the end they
had quite captured their audience, the
Normalonians made fine showing in
Fargo last evening. Although care
fully directed by Dean Goodsell
throughout the program they were
spontaneous and almost independent
in their best numbers.
The biggest hit Of the evening was
the Symphony No. 1 (Haydn) by ALL
Star Ladies' orchestra. The instru-
ments included everything from a fife
in the clever hands of Miss Dorothy
Mcfarland, to baby's rattle, police
whistle, triangle, Dover egg beaten and
drums. The result was both amazing
and highly entertaining. Another
catchy feature of lively program
was the whistling solo by Miss Dor
othy Mcfarland, who was called back
for an encore.
Miss Ruth Andreason in the solo AT
Dawning,'' by Cadman, displayed a
sweet voice, and Miss Cecilia Coughlin
in her solos sang with both sweetness
and power. Ben Goodsell in his solo
numbers was repeatedly encored, his
work and tone being rather remark
able for so young violinist.
The chorus work was for the most
part very good, rising to climax in
1.-THE Normalonian Medley" which
was given with dash and vivacity. The
negro melodies and the rhythmic might
of JOY" were others very we'll sung.
This is the first appearance of the
Valley City Normal club in Fargo
during the three years they have made
trips, but other years they will un-
doubleday be welcomed by much
larger audience than was present last
evening.

Especial to the Times Record.)

Especial to the Times Record.)
Fargo, April 2S.-A fair sized but
very appreciative audience Tuesday
night greeted the Normalonians in
concert at the First Baptist church,
Fargo, where the organization was
hailed as the best-known and most
travelled glee club in North Dakota.
Gradually from the opening number
on the program until the close, inter-
est increased until selections were
doubly encored. While the audience
showed keen appreciation of the fine
choruses in the Normalonian's pro-
gram, of especial interest were the
Joy symphony, by the "All-Star La
dies Orchestra" and the "Normalonian
Medley" which is big Improvement
over last years medley.
Ben Goodsell in de Beriot, Mosz-
kowski and Wieniawski violin num-
bers captured the interest of the audi
ence, as did Dorothy McFarland's
whistling solo, LA CinQuantaine,' by
Gabriel Marie.
Miss. Coughlin sang Lohr's Little
Grey Home in the West" with as great
effectiveness, as did the Normalonion
Quartet, Legends" by Mohring.
The spirit of the audience and the
program as well as that of the visit
ing Normalonians was most pleasant
and enjoyable. Already arrangements
have been suggested for concert un-
der the same auspices next season.
The young ladies left at 500 We'd
nesday morning for Grand Forks,
where they were breakfast guests at
the state university, where the Nor
malonians appear in concert Wednes-

The only economic neutralizer, or

within the reach Of the farmer is
lime. Ordinarily one thinks of lime
as that material used in the making
of plaster and mortar. Throughout
the agricultural world today, however,
the word Time" has taken on a very
general meaning. It not only includes
burnt lime, or Quicklime, but also air
and water-slacked lime, ground lime
stone, mari, pulverized shells, and
marble dust. These different mate
rails, with the exception of burnt lime
and water-slacked lime, are common
ly spoken of as Carbonate of lime"
or ''lime carbonate" because they con-
sist Of ordinary quicklime combined
with carbon dioxide gas of the air.
