year will take place at the Normal
Auditorium. For the first time in
eight years the State Oratorical
contest will be held at River Falls.

dent delegations are expected from
Platteville, Oshkosh, Superior and
Eau Claire.
Mr.. Laurence Thompson of River
Falls will represent the local Normal
school in the contest. Mr. Thomp-
son represented the school last year
also. Hopes are running high among
the student body that his experience
and ability may secure high place
for River Falls.
Though River Falls has secured
second place in the state contest sew
eral times of late years, no repre-
sentative of the school has taken
first since Paul Spencer won the
contest in 1912. The contest has not
been held in River Falls since 1909.
when Earl Whitcomb represented
River Falls.
It is expected that holding the
contest here will stimulate interest
in Oratory among the students of
River Falls. The winner of the State
contest will represent Wisconsin in
the Interstate contest to be held in
Emporia, Kansas.

the JOY OF having boy with lungs like

hour. We've got just such frolic,
when ellis Nibs" gets the collie which
happens bout two o. the morn.-with
-squirm and kick, and a yell sharp and
quick, you know some more trouble is
born; then you jump in hurry, there's
no time to worry, tho there's some-
thing you'd sure like to throttle. Out
in the cold with dash fierce and bold,
you grab at the brown-colored bottle.

heartess loon; can't you see it's with
pain that he criesm Then you dose

enough of just what the doctor'd ad-.

make an excursion to the grate where
the embers are dying; there you pick
and you poke, and you swear it's no
joke to be cold and the baby a-crying.
With twist of your head you glance
at the bed, where your loYe Of pillow
awaits. Then Ma starts song bout
ten yards long of love and the cruel
old fates. Finally, there's a quiet and
you turn off the iight-holding your
breath as you stand-then voice soft
