MORE DORMITORIES NERD
ED AT SCHOOL,

The large attendance this year
at the Bolivar Comfy Agricultural

the very best euvilement possible
and thus help them to make these

The Mississippi River Is causing
onr peo pie some uneasiness just
now and will probably keep them
guessing for somssimeto come. With
the water as high Is it is, as early as
it is and still raining here and else
where, it is certain that there will
he a high water fight again this
spring and the battle will soon be
on. The levees have been built
larger and stronger and hope they
will hold the food.

Loses Her Beauty

In reading about Cleopatra, the
great queen who was so fascinating
that she about broke up the Roman
empire two thousand years ago,
didn't you always think OF her as
most beautiful? We know that she
was very proud and vain, and
dressed very beautifully. and that
she never would allow any picture
OF herself to be made to be stamp
ed upon the coins unless she ap-
proved of it. So at a convention in
Philadelphia they have displayed
the coins stamped with her portrait,
and what picture! Long nose,
little eyes. big ears, and bony
shoulders-such is the likeness of
the matchless Cleopatra, queen of
Egypt and the Serpent of the Nile"

Quadruplets

How many of you ever have wish
ed you had twin? Well then how
would you like to have three twins?
That is the happy lot of four little
girls out in Oklahoma, because
they are bankruptcies.
Now they are old enough to begin
trying to walk around, and they
surely do make things lively, for
they all are as well and healthy
as they can be. and when you know
how much trouble one little young
ster can make after he is q year old,
Just think how it would be with
four, all the same age and just as
active. Their name Is Keyes, and
they are all four girls, SO remember
them. for they are the only double
twin girls In the whole United Sta
tes that we know of.

The Old King

One time there lived bad king
which made the people pay very
high taxes and if they did not pay
their taxes he would have them put
their heads and hands through
things, and the boys would throw
snow balls at them, and rocks, and
If they got loose they would be put
in prison. So one day the people
baked cake with poison in it and
gave 1t to him, and the king ate it
and died in few minutes. And
the new king was good to the peo-
pie and the people lived happy ever
after.

THE RED
ARROW
BY Elmer
Russell
McGreeor

At daylight the camp was the
scene of bustling activity. The
squaws took down and packed the
lodges; the boys brought in the
horses. the warriors rode about
shouting instructions, and the old
women abused everybody who inter-
fered with their attempts to cook
the morning meal. Soon after sun
rise. however. the various tasks
were completed and the entire tribe
started upon the trail.
The cavalcade was an interesting
one. First went picked company
of scouts. Then followed Two
Moons and the messenger from Vel
low Cloud. After them rode the
main company Of warriors. A short
distance. behind the fighting men
came the pack horses, carrying the
camp equipment, the old people.
and most of the women and child
rem. Another company of war
riors followed far in the rear; and
on either flank rode small parties
of young lads, watching eagerly
for any sort of game that might
show itself.
Little Raven rode just behind the
warriors, in company with Straight
Feather and a number of young
Pawnees. His mount was an aged
buckskin which plainly showed the
evidences of long and continuous
abuse. 1t was wind-broken and
lame, and the young Sioux realized
that with such a steed beneath him
all chance Of escape was gone.
why does the great chief Two
Moons give his son a horse which
should carry an old man." he asked
banteringly, as Straight Feather
rode beside him.
"That pony has carried my IA
Their in many battles. have heard
him tell about it. My horse has
never been in battle. Only war
riors ride the war-ponies. 1t is
good; Two Moons has a good heart
for his son Little Raven. He has
given him this great war pony

tournament held at the Fairgrounds
last summer, were out of the fund
formerly earned. There is a little
of the fund still left in the treasury.

Just help Mr.. Nohr and work hard

Speaks 2 Languages

Little Magdelene Adams is only
two years old, but she speaks both
German and English as well as
anyone. She lives in Wabash and
is the only little girl in the city
who can talk in either language
equally well. Her mother used to
be a German teacher, so when lit
tie Magdelene began to learn to
talk, her mother taught her the two
words. German and English, for
everything. Magdalene's father is
a Republican candidate for report
er Of the Supreme court. and since
she goes with him on campaign
trips, people have grown to like
him, Just for her sake.

Dear Aunt Molly:
I wish you were coming up here
every day and you would tell us
about the camp fire girls and what
they do.
I can hardly wait till our meet
mgs begin and we get our suits
and have some fun. think it is
very interesting to be a camp fire
girl and l think it is ten times bet.
ter than the boy scouts and our
suits are twice as nice as theirs.
1t will be fun to make the beds
and wash the dishes now. because
you know you are going to get an
honor bead for it. 1t must be fun
to get letters from everybody and
read what they are doing.
am always glad when the Junior

things that it has in it.
We are going with Miss Jessie

going to have fine time.

Baltimore Oriole
Is Pretty Bird

The Baltimore Oriole received
his name from George Calvert. This
man came to this country and found
the woods full of birds. He thought
their color so bright and beautiful
that he took them for his own. Then
he went back to his own state Of
Virginia. When he arrived there,
the king called him Lord Balti-
more, because he had discovered
a new colony.
This brilliant bird is little small
Ter than the robin. He has beau
tiful and flaming colors. Our friend
has very sharp eyes because he cat
ches insects. He has long and
brown legs. He has sharp toes to
hold onto the tree when he sings.
He sings sweet songs and is
very good songster.
We look for him in May or June
when it begins to get warm. He
leaves in September. He comes
from Central America and goes to
North America.
II you want to see his nest you
will have to look high up in a
maple tree, or any high tree. He
builds his nest on slender branch
SO that no cat or dog can get to
his babies. He uses strings, horse
hairs and grass. The size of it is
little at the top and big at the bot
tom. 1t is shaped like stocking.
The father brings the material and
the mother makes it,
The Baltimore Oriole destroys
many insects. He is a great help
to farmers and us too. He gets
cocoons and tears them open, and
eats the little eggs inside.

IRISH CHILDREN

Many people have the idea that
Irish children wear green clothes
and queer hats Just like the way
people dress up to initiate Irish
IN fancy dress affairs. But one
of the teachers who came home Just
before the war said that the Irish
children she saw over In Dublin
were dressed much as our own
city children. only most of them
were SO dirty and ragged you could
not see the natural color of the
cloth.
The most unusual part, was the
number Of funny little two wheeled
carts drawn either by horses or
donkeys which were everywhere.

The Prize OratoricaI Contest,

The first annual anniversary of the
opening of Union Hall, which was held
at Union Hall last Monday night, did
not attract the crowd that the occa-
sion warranted, though there was a
fair sized audience present. The prize
oratorical contest which was staged
proved to be one of the best things
that ever happened in st. Paul, and
those who did not hear it missed a
very delightful treat. The contestants
were Miss Edith .Gillard, Mrs. Pearl
Bellesen, Mrs. Ethel ard-Maxwell,
of st. Paul, and Miss Eva B. Walker
Of Minneapolis. The titles of the
orations were: "The Negro Americans
Original Contribution to Music," Miss
Gillard; "The Women and the Future
of Our Race" Mrs. Bellesen; "Get
the Habit" Mrs: Maxwell; Launched
to Anchor Where?" Miss Walker.
The orations were delivered in the
order named, and each was worthy
OF prize but as only two prizes were
offered only two could win. Prior to
their delivery the orations were sub
| mitted to DR.. j.: M. Henderson, pastor
of st. James A. NJ E. church, who
read them and marked their percen-
tages as to composition The judges
selected were Mrs. Lillian Turner, of
the University of Minnesota; Miss
Florence Curtis, of the University of
Illinois; Mr.. William Smith, chief OF
night division, Minneapolis Postoffice,
who passed upon delivery and gave
the percentages as follows: Miss Gil.

prizes were: $40 to Miss Walker, SIS
! to Mrs. Maxwell. Miss Mayme Coins
had walk-away in the ticket-selling
contest as her opponent scarcely made
showing. Miss Coins brought in $50
and was awarded suit worth $500.
