THE FARM BOY

The opportunity that comes to the
farm boy for learning early in life
what work is and how to do it con-
stitutes one Of the real advantages
of country boys over their city cous-
ms. The eight-year-old country boy
can do much to help his father in
the regular run of farm work. He
sees his parents and his older broth
ers and sisters rising early and doing,
each one of them, a certain amount of
physical work, no matter how pros
porous the farm may be. It is only
natural that he should copy them,
that he should want to learn how to
take care of stock, and how to
operate farm machinery-in fact, I'M
less he is a dullard, by ten years of
age, the sound principles of work are
50. grounded in him that no matter
what his calling in life may be,
whether he farms, teaches, breaches,
sells or manufactures, he will remain
a worker until the end of his days.
On the other hand, the city boy
whose father is a plumber, a lawyer,
a doctor, has little u no chance to
learn the work of his father. Some
of the household drudgery he learns,
perhaps; but he cannot associate with
his father end brothers in the
family business as the country boy
does. Small wonder if he dislikes
work. He has only been allowed to
do that which his elders scorn-mow
the lawn or tend the furnace. But
his country cousin has had o taste Of
the real thing. When you stop to
think about it, there is good reason
why the farm boy should be proud Of
the fact that he is just a farm boy"

The groom is engaged in the lum-
Der business at Badger. He is a

PLOW | r BREAKS

The season for prairie fires is rap
idly approaching. In fact, m or two
fires have already been reported and
the extremely heavy growth of grass
this season will make fire danger
greater than ever before. The month
of August is the proper time for
blowing fire breaks, according to pio-
neer farmers who have lived near
Grand Forks for many years and
know the nature of prairie fires.
All land owners should mark out
their lands by at least three burrows
which should be placed two rods in
from the section lines and the space

Every citizen of Dickinson, and for
that matter of the entire Missouri
Slope, owes Hon. Leslie A. Simpson
Of this city a debt of gratitude for his
splendid stand in the interests of a
state normal school for this section
of the state. Largely through his
efforts a plank, endorsing a Slope
normal school, was incorporated in
the republican platform. A similar
resolution a also adopted by the
Democratic State Central Committee,
and again Mr.. Simpson helped, to-
gether with Ed. J. Hughes, democrat
ic committeeman. Verify, the city of
Dickinson is proud of these live
wires. Committeeman from other
Slope districts also came forward
nobly in united action.

COMPANY K BENEFIT
GREAT SUCCESS

The Company K benefit last Friday
night at the opera house was a credit
to all concerned. Aside from the
"Yama Yama" girls and several
others, nearly sixty little tots took
part. Everything went off fine, each
little amateur showing a great deal
Of drill and practice. The audience
was spared the long in-between-cur-
tain intervals, so usual with home
talent affairs, as Miss Frances
Soules, under whose direction the
benefit was given, had everything
we'll arranged and ready.
The costumes worn were particu-
larly good. The sixteen little girls
in the flower dance looked "too dear
for anything" in their white flowing
dresses, and the ten little Cinnamon,
with their braided pigtails, brought
down the house. The little fan fairies
and star admirers in dainty pink and
yellow gowns, were the youngest Of
the lot but went through their parts
most excellently. The eight "Yama
Yama" girls, gowned in black and
yellow, took with the audience i'm
mediately and were called back again
and again.
The Maypole drill was much adj
mired, as also was the chorus "The
Star Spangled Banner" in which little
Betty Heaton figured as the Goddess
of Liberty and her brother, Richard,
as Uncle Sam. Both were cleverly
dressed to represent their parts and
bowed very gracefully to the audience
during the song.
The vocal solos rendered by Misses
Ruth Butler, Mildred Perkins, Blanche
and Kathleen Flanagan were very
much enjoyed and together with Miss
Dorothy Stickney, who reads excep-
tionally we'll, they encored their num-
bers to the delight of all.
Miss Soules is an adept at putting
on clever and original children's pro-
grams. Besides practicing with the
children, she made most of their
costumes. It representa- a great deal
of work and took up nearly all her
time for several weeks. Miss Soules,
assisted by Misses Myrtle Parker and
Rose Waddell, claimed the success of
the play as their only reward, as the
proceeds, amounting to $4,000, were
sent to Company K as coming from
the Dickinson Young Women's Asso-
citation.

This season there are more of the
wild vetches and plants belonging to
the clover and alfalfa family than
eve before. These plants are valu-
able for feeding purposes and for en-
riching the soil. No pains should be
spared to protect them from the
prairie fires.
Of course this is a busy season but
it is worth while for every land owner
and farmer to give careful attention
to this matter of blowing out and
burning fire guards around his farm.

THE supreme Sacrifice affords
Robert Warwick a magnificent oppor-
tuniy to display his brilliant gifts OF
dramatic power and characterization.
The story concerns itself with the
heroic sacrifice of David Aldrich, a
young author. played by MIR War
wick. who sacrifices himself and
dures a bitter term or years in prison
to save the hallowcr memory of his
dearest friend, an East side clergy
man. who in a moment of desperation
has embezzled the charity funds
placed in his care to satisfy the eX-
tortionate demands OF 4 woman with
whom he had become entangled years
before
Davids heroic deed of self-abne-
CATION makes of him a social Pariah.
But through the years of his dark
trials the faithful love of noble
hearted woman endures and sweetens
his cup of bitterness.
Up to the long, dreary road that
eventually leads to success and hap
piness for David he tolls hrayely and
with mans heart

questionably one % the most note

sally popular Robert Warwick has ap-
peared.
