Prizes Awarded for
School Garden Work

The school gardens which were
grown on the school farm this year
while not large in number, were well
tended and showed the results of some
hard work. The rewards have been
given out and the following boys re
ceived prizes:
First prize, IS, George DuVall.
Second prize, SO, Sidney Burgeson
Third prize, 81, Arthur Olsen.
Parents should encourage their
boys to start a garden in the spring
because it is a project worthy of your
support.
The purposes of the school gardens
are to furnish employment for the
boy during his leisure hours, to cause
him to become acquainted with the
method used in gardening, to instill
into him love for the outdoors and
of growing plants. 1t may also be a
source of income during the summer
for many of the boys are making their
spending money by this method. 1t is
hoped that the parents will take an
interest in this project the coming
year and will cooperate to make it a
success. ..~r.,s. a.. a@

when business will tax its capacity.
The heating plant is very small
one for such structure, but not much
heat is required outside the office.
The machinery is also here for the
large electric elevator which handles
ton loads with ease and facility.
On the first floor the shipping clerk
has an office near the center on the
north side. This is so arranged that
the outgoing consignments come into
view and can be checked with accur-
acy and dispatch. On the south side
are two large doors through which
the carloads are handled, the floor
being on a level with the floor of the
cars, and two cars can be worked at
once. The medium heavy merchan-
disc and original packages are piled
on this floor and are easily accessible
to ship either by carload or in small
consignments. 1t is noticeable that
a carload makes very poor showing
when filling this story is considered.

Get 1917 W.C.T.U.

When the North Dakota w. C. T. U.
meets in annual state convention at
Grafton Oct. 20, for session of three
days, the two unions of Valley City

to the convention to meet here in

Their prominence attained by the First
Congregational church Of this city in
having made the greatest gain in
membership of the churches of that

complete enough for publication, is be.
ing arranged for the meeting. The
chief speakers at the convention this
year will be Mrs. Ella Boole, of Brook
Ign, N. Y, who is vice presidential
large of the national w. C. T. U. and

eral other places than Grafton. She
has just returned from a trip to Alas.
ka, where she spent some time work
ing in the interests of the prohibition
campaign now in progress in that
country of wonderful opportunities.
Mrs. Boole is reported to be one of

of the day, being given especially fine
press notices everywhere she has ap-
peared, and her presence at the Graf
