GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
One of the paramount needs at

as secure a material improvement OF
road conditions by designating a given
time in which we may in our reSpec-
tive communities actively participate
in the Better Roads movement by do
mating one days labor or more upon
the roads.
'Inasmuch as it is possible thae,
every one interested connot meet on
any given day for the purpose Of de-
ing such work and desiring to promote
greater interest in roads as we'll az
to improve their efficiency.
Nov, therefore, |, l.. B. HANNA
governor, do hereby proclaim the week
of June 10 to "a inclusive as Good
Roads Week in the state of North De-
kota for the year 1916, and during that

the roads.
Il further recommend that county
and township road officials, farmers
unions, commercial clubs, automobile
associations and all other organize
tons having for their object the pro
motion of the welfare of their eommu-
mites, take leading part in Carrying

Sunday Was Fargo College
Day at Valley City Church

Sunday was Fargo college day in the
Congregational church. A large con-
gregation greeted the speaker of the
occasion, Mayor Fl. F. Emery, of Far
go. He apologized for speaking as q
layman, but those who had the plea.
sure of listening to him thought that
no apology was necessary. Rarely
does one listen to a clerical speaker
with greater flow Of genuine elo.
quence. His subject was THE Build.
ing of Nation" and from the open
ing words Mayor Emery held his audi
ence in rapt attention. The scripture
was read by Dean r. P. Robinson, of
Fargo college, and prayer was offered
by the Rev. C. F. Sewrey, field secre-
tary for the college. Prof. Franz
JOsep Sucher, head of the voice de.
partment of the Fargo conservatory
sang a solo. His rich baritone com.
pletely filled the church and delighted
all who heard him.
In the evening Dean Robinson, of
Fargo college, spoke on "The Need OF
Christian College," The dean ably
represented the intellectual and spirit
ual power of the college life. Prof
Sucher sang again in his usual pleas
ing manner.
This Fargo college team is visiting
the towns adjacent to Fargo in the in
terests of the college. In each town
they are holding a Fargo college Sun
day with speakers. Monday morning
George Perley, of Moorhead, and Presi
dent John W. Hansel came out to in
terview some Of the business men Of
the city.

Mrs. Spur Returns From
Biennial Meeting Of Clubs

Mrs. B. S. Spur returned to the city
on Thursday morning from New York,
where she went to attend the biennial
of the General Federation Of Women
clubs, which opened in New York on
Tuesday, May 70. 1t was the larges,
convention ever held in the world, a..
there were over 10000 women present.
A great many men also attended the
meetings, which were held in the Ar.
mory, which covers a whole block of
ground An interesting fact was thai,
the decorations of the Armory alone
cost $4,000. Among the noted women
of the country who were at the conven
ton were Lady Aberdeen of England,
Mrs. w. J. Bryan, Miss Margaret Will
son, Mrs. Burdette Coutts of Califor-
MO, Mrs. Ernest Thompson-Seton, and
hundreds of other women.
The convention opened with recep.
ton at the home of Thomas Edison
and that evening the ladies of New
York entertained the visitors with a
dramatic entertainment in the Hotel
Astor. The meetings continued until
June 8. On May "a a breakfast for the
North Dakota delegates was given in
the yacht room" of the Hotel Astor,
our state being represented by q dele.
gates. Mrs. Spur was a delegate to
the biennial from the Sorosis club of
this city, and Mrs. Anna Sternberg
went as a representative from the
Tuesday club. Mrs. Sternberg has not
returned to the city, but will remain in
the east for some time yet. Mrs. Spur
reports splendid convention and
says that the ladies of New York did
all in their power to make it pleasant
for the visiting ladies.

Cetchen Prairie Thespians
Stage Back to the Farm

That fascinating play, Back to the
Farm" was presented by the Getchell
Prairie people in their church Friday
evening. The date had been set for
earlier in the week and had been post
poned on account of rain, but the post
ponement seemed to add to the draw
in power of the production rather than
to detract. When the hour for the per-
Torrance arrived there was hardly
standing room. The entire neighbor-
hood was we'll represented.
A good feature of the attendance
was that several automobile loads of
Valley City people took advantage of
the occasion and the fine evening and
went out to meet the Getcheu Prairie
people and enjoy the event.
The play itself, a mighty interesting
one, was we'll presented and reflects
credit upon the entire cast of charac-
ters. Perhaps one or two might be
said to have done little better than
others, if person wanted to be criti-
cal, but to us it looked like good team
work, and team work is what brings
success.
Usually the burden of rehearsals and
looking after details falls upon the
school teachers, and we understand
that this instance was no exception.
Usually, too, these teachers are from
the city and are leaders in showing the
people on the farms that they can have
social centers and plays and entertain
ments in the country as we'll as in the
cities. When the farm people can plan
and accomplish these things, and when
the city people take interest enough to
attend them whenever possible, it will
show that the ideal community life is
being developed.
Since the proceeds of such entertain
ments are always used to augment a
library fund or some worthy purpose,
they should be encouraged and sup
ported. The Getchell Prairie enter
tainment was a success because the
whole neighborhood gave their best in
putting it through. We hope other Sec
tons Of the county will profit from the
lesson it teaches.

Some New Years Customs,
Both Ancient and Modern

New Years in Rome was a day of
rejoicing and gladness. The people
celebrated it by feasting with each
other and by giving presents to their
friends. They were very careful about
their behavior on this day, as they be-
ueved they would act throughout the
year as they did on New Years. On
this holiday there was always a cele-
brat1on in the temple they had built
to Janus, and great preparations were
made for it.
The Chinese people make a great
fuss over New Years, but their dates
are not the same as ours, and their
new year begins a little later than
ours. For this festival day they dec
crate their houses and churches with
funny lanterns and gay ornaments. In
the churches incense is burned to the
gods.
I'm Persia the people exchange eggs
on this day. This means that the
events Of the coming year are as IN
certain as the kind of chicken which
will hatch from each egg.
The Japanese have customs Of the
New Year much like those Of the Chi
nese, except that they have the same
calendar as we have, and so their new
year begins when ours does.
In ancient times the druids gave
pieces Of their holy plant, the mistle-
toe, to all people on the first of the
year as a wish that the receiver of
these might be blessed all year.
The pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiv-
ing, but not New Years. Their rea-
son for this was because the month
was named after heather god. The
Quakers also follow this rule, and in
stead of January they call this month
the first month.

Worth Knowing

When dampening clothes that have
become too dry for ironing use warm
water. 1t penetrates more quickly
than cold and less of it is required, so
that the ironing may be begun sooner.
When ironing handkerchiefs begin
ironing in the middle. Ironing the
edges first causes the middle to swell
out and makes it very difficult to iron
and fold them properly. Test the iron
on piece of rag or paper to prevent
any accident by scorching.
Mother-of-pearl should never be
washed with soap, for it discolors and
destroys the brilliancy Of the shell.
The right method of cleaning is with
whiting and cold water.
To clean marble take two parts of
soda, one Of pum1ce and ono of salt
(all In POWDER and mix to a paste
with water. Rub this vigorously on
the marble and wash off with salt wa
ter. Finish with clean cold water and
q soft cloth.
Corn breads are always heavy when
sweet milk is substituted for sour and
the soda is not changed to baking pow
der.
