HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WIN
AND BOYS LOSE.

Warren high school made a divis-
ion of honors with the players from.
Thief River Falls in the basket ball
games Saturday afternoon. The girls
started the movement by defeating
the girls from Thief River. Our
girls held up the larger end Of a IA
to 8 8~score. Superior speed and team
work on the part of the Warren
team kept the ball in their possession
most of the time. Hazel Edwardth
proved her ability as star basket
shot both from the floor and foul
line. The work of the guards was
all that could be wished. A large
number of fouls figured in the final
score. r&E.
The boys met a different fate. The
Thief River team gave evidence Of
very careful training and experience.
Their offensive work was superior to
that Of the Warren boys. It was,
however, evident that Warren has
material for winning team. The
game ended with a score Of 48 to 26
with Thief River sitting on the larg-
er end. The Warren team hopes to
make different story out of the re-
turn game to be played at Thief
River January IL. -.

tation rooms, one assembly room 50x
60, one auditorium and gymnasium,
50x70, two cloak rooms, two toilets
and lavatories, two agricultural
rooms, one mechanical drawing room,
one lumber room, one office for sup
erintendent, one room for board of
education, one teachers room, one Of
fee for manual training instructor,
cne room for reference books. All
The rooms are large, wei! lighted ard
ventilated, and finely furnished.
There are also engine and boiler
rooms, a fan room, and four locker
rooms and shower bath rooms for
boys and girls.
The old building contains one
chemical laboratory room, one
physics room, one science recitation
room, a library room, a sewing room,
a cooking room, a pantry, an eighth
grade room, a 3rd and 4th grade
room and a first grade room. Both
the old and new parts Of the build
ing have fine wide corridors on both
floors. The auditorium is furnished
with fine new, seats and beautiful
stage curtains presented by last
years graduating class.
In addition to - the High School
building the city has also an eight
room ward building, the Washington
School. North Star College, young
and trifty educational institution, is
also located in our city in a large
and up-to-date building of it's own
Alt this makes Warren an educational
center Of considerable Importance.
| : At the head Of the Warren public
schools is Supt. E. M. Mitchell, who
by his good and efficient work has
proved himself to be one of the fore
most educators in the state.
The Warren Board of Education is
made up as follows: L. Lamberson
President; Aug. A. Johnson, Secre-
tary; q. Il. Lundqulst, Treasurer; D.
Farrell, Aug. :Lq1n2dfgren, y A. A: Har-
ris. ,.;..- ..rg. :
The cost Of the new building is
approximately 100000.
Some things might be said about
the exterior appearance Of the build.
ing, which could have been better
had the architect: had any eye fo1
beauty or any ability to harmonic
the architectural lines of the old anc
new buildings. But this defect does
not detract any from the utility anc
serviceability Of the building as &
whole. Some time, though, the peo.
pie of this city will want to make
certain changes that will add to the
appearance Of the building.

Grim Reaper Calls Little Bow.

son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius ]. Olson.
died at ten o'clock this forenoon.
The little fellow has been an invalid
for some time. All the loving and
tender care that mother and father
could bestow, was freely given in the
hope that the boys life might be
spared, and at one time it looked as
if the efforts Of the fond parents
had succeeded. But Providence had
decreed otherwise. A change for the
worse set in a few days ago and an
erstwhile happy home in this city is
plunged into deep sorrow. The little
boys life was brief but it was long
enough to set in vibration heart
string in tune with the Infinite and
which call forth the best and noblest
qualities Of the human soul. julius
Johan has not lived in vain. The
people of this city and friends every
where extend sympathy to the be-
.reayed family.
The funeral will be held from the
home at two o'clock on Friday after
