The program of the meeting of
the County Industrial Club, at
Gettysburg, came off as announced
last week. and was we'll attended.
The violin solo, by Miss Wilma
Combellick, was excellent, giving
evidence of a high ordec of musi-
cal talent. WIN. Walters told
about the Huron State Boys Camp,
at the last State Fair, to which he
was a delegate, and Miss Breene's
paper on ''Food Values" was illus
trated with a score or so of the
most common articles of food.
Prof. w. M. Mair, superintend-
ent of the State Boys and Girls In
dustrial Clubs, Judged the boys
corn and kaoliang and awarded the
following prizes:
First prize in kaoliang, to Mel
vim Thompson of South Riverside
township; second, to Harold Bris-
coe of Artichoke-twp.
The prizes for the highest yield
from the acre and half acre of
corn could not be awarded. as the
reports from which the yield was
to be estimated were sent to Mr..
Mair at Brookings and in making
his preparations to come to Get
tysburg he overlooked them, but
will check upon them Mt once:
when he will send the result to
the County Superintendent. The
boy who has the highest yield
from an acre will become our del
egate to the Boys Camp at the
State Fair in 1916.
For the best ten ears of corn,
Russell Lyman of So. Riverside
twp received first prize, and Har-
old Briscoe of Artichoke- twp the
second.
For the best ear only one prize
was offered and that was won by
Russell Lyman of So. Riverside,
who also won the silver Glowing
cnp" offered by the Dakota Pure
Seed Company of Mitchell to the
boy raising the best ten ears of
corn. This cup must be won three
times to entitle the holder to COM
plete ownership.
Miss Breene, Miss Williams and

Worlds Are Created
Through Sacrifice

Every religion has taught the law OF
sacrifice; Christianity especially puts FOR
ward the lesson of self-sacrifice as its
central theme. the great teaching and
practice of its Founder and Exemplar.
All sacrificial rites or acts whatsoever
are copies, in but lesser or larger meas
ure. OF that one great sacrifice of God
by which the worlds were created and
by which they are maintained-that vol
untary giving of His life. that voluntary
limiting of Himself in matter in order to
produce and sustain many separate lives
This was the theme, Of the lecture by
Miss Isabel HolbroolK at Theosophical
hall Bee building, Sunday evening.
Sacrifice is the law of evolution, but
It is imposed upon the lower creatures
as compulsory and acts through strife
and continual combats since the sign OF
matter is not i'm giving but in RE
ceiving."
When man ideitifies himself with the
life instead of the form, then and then
only can the element o. pain in sacrifice
be gotten rid Of That was the lesson of
the Christ.
