BOY TAKES
THE HONOR
JAMES Nj. SHIK ANY AWARDED
FIRST PRIZE IN NORTHWEST
DECLAMATION MEET,
TO ENTER STATE CONTEST
SENIOR CLASS TO SEND WILL
LISTON SPEAKER TO REPRE-
SENT SCHOOLS OF CITY

James M. Shikany, representing the
Williston High School at the North
western North Dakota Defamation
contest, carried away first. honors of
the evening in the boys division with
a masterful presentation of Victor
Hugo's "The Guillotine."
The contest was held at the Minot
State Normal school Saturday night
and there was lively competition in
both the girls and boys division Of
the contest. Following is a report of
the contest from the Minot Daily
News: a
"Miss Irma Hendrick of Minot took
first place in the girls defamation
contest of the Northwestern district
which was held at the Minot Normal
school last night. James M. Shikany
of Williston took first place in the
boys contest. Harold Shaft Of Mi
not won second place in the boys con-
test and Miss Dorothy Whitson Of
Berthold took second place in the
girls contest.
"There were four contestants in
each of the divisions and the work Of
the young people was such that those
who failed to win the prizes gave the
winners some decidedly cold shivers
before the decision of the judges was
made. It was crowd Of young peo--
pie who had put the best that was in
them into the preparation of their
work and while there were some fail
ures so far as places we're concerned,
there was not number on the pro-
gram that was not worthy of the
highest commentator.
"Mr. Shikany, who captured first
place in the contest of. the young men,
was fortunate in his selection of a
composition that suited him in every
particular. His number was Victor
Hugo's great masterpiece, "The Gullo-
tine" and his voice and presence and
personality fitted into the authors
conception of the great trial which
he was depicting and these added to
the powerful thoughts gave him an
opportunity for the display of the
talents which he evidently possesses
to high degree, and to bring into
play all the grasp of thought and
tragedy which marks the work. His
gestures were free and vigorous, his
voice strong and his presence COM
manding." ........
AS a result of the win at Minot the
senior class is making an effort to
have Mr.. Shikany represent Willis
ton at the state contest at Grand
Forks late in May. Plans are now
being worked out and it is believed
that the Williston boy can bring
honor to the schools here by an ap-
pearance at the state contest.

At meeting of business men of
the city Monday it was decided that
an all day program, featured by
many Loyalty Day numbers during
the course of the day, should be COM
pleted at night with a display of fire.
works that will surpass anything in
this line that has ever been done west

main features promised:

this vicinity with feature game by
the Williston team and the All Ma

$500 purse for the winner and half
that for second money. There will
be other races each day with suitable
purses and large number of stock
cars from the territory will be enter
ed. The track will be put in the best
possible shape within few days.
Details of the uptown. program
of the morning and afternoon are
now in process of being worked out
and there is every indication that
there will be something doing every
minute. There are a number of
strong patriotic features planned and
these will be big feature of the oc-

CITY COMMISSION OFFERS
TO BUY us. WAR BONDS
tribute toward the whole bond issue
is being given to the chairmen.
Hanna In Charge

Former Gov. l.. B. Hanna who is in
actual charge of the work in the
state made splendid address yester-
day, and Tracy r. Bangs of Grand
Forks brought out the point that the
country which did not want war a
few weeks ago has surprised the
wor'l by the manner in which it has
taks hold of the "business of war;"
The selling of the bonds in this Sec
tion Of the country is one Of the ways
in which the Northwest has added VOL
ume to this surprise package.
The banks of the district are talk
ing at once all the required bonds to
hold up the quota. A campaign will
be started to get the bonds to the
people and denominations as low as
$50 will be issued so that everyone
may "do his bit" in this manner.
Mr.. Davidson represented Williams
county at the meeting yesterday and
he reports that every bank in the dis
trict is doing everything possible to
take it's share of the loan and helping
to get it to the people.

WINNERS IN
FIRST GAME
GRENORA BOYS SHOW PLAY IN
SPOTS BUT WERE NOT STRONG
ENOUGH FOR LOCALS
IN FINE TRIM
LOCALS PLAY AT SIDNEY LAT
TER PART OF THIS WEEK AND
SIGNEY HERE NEXT

Williston baseball fans opened the
1917 season as we'll as the fine new
ball park Sunday afternoon when
about 1000 turned out to see Mar
shall and his Opportunes trim Gre
nora by a score Of II to 4.
The game was fast in spots altho
the wind kept thin mist of sand
flying over the new field and this
made fine play impossible about half
the time. With a couple Of good
rains this feature will be eliminated
and the field will be one of the finest
in the state.
Browning, who worked in several
games last year was on the mound
for the Opportunes at the start. The
Grenora bunch gathered just hits
off his delivery in five innings and
nine of them pushed the atmosphere
in the same length of time. Brown
ing looked good all the way. Fisher
tried out the next four paragraphs
and tho he held the visitors to one
hit the Grenora lads seemed to like
him better because he did not use so
much steam. Anderson who worked
for Grenora seemed to be off color all
afternoon and the fans hope to see
him in action some warm day this
summer when he is right.
Williston fans are certain that
Manager Marshall has a bunch of
good material to draw from this year
and there are few fellows on the
way that will round out the ball team
here and make a real class. Stovern,
a new catcher showed we'll and hit
couple of good ones when they were
needed the most. INNINGS worked
in old time style and Shorty Harper
was there as usual. Following is the

WAR BRIDES BY
SENIOR CLASS

One of the big success in the mo-
tion picture world is being presented
by the Williston High School Seniors
at the Orpheum theatre Friday and
Saturday. "War Brides" has been a
hit and a feature and is praised wher-
ever presented.
Devotees Of all that is finest in the
art of the theatre recognize in Ma
zimova one of the most distinguished
actresses of the day. It was dis
tinct surprise to the old, established
motion picture producing firms to
learn, few weeks ago, that she had
signed a contract to appear in photo
dramas for Herbert Brenon and Selz-
nick-Pictures. Many offers have been
made to Nazimova, but she had re-
iected them all, and the secret of her
final capitulation to the newest Of the
producing concerns was that she was
present at a private view of Mr..
Brenon' latest masterpiece, "A
Daughter of the Gods" and was SO
impressed with it's imaginative quali-
ties that she no longer hesitated to
embark in the new art.
Ever since Nazimova came to the
English speaking stage her career
has been an unbroken record of sue
cesses. 1bsen's plays were formerly
regarded as drug on the market,
and yet in one after another of those
history making classics, she scored
tremendously. In "A Dolls House"
"Helda Gabler" and "Little Eyolf."
she won the highest laurels. She
turned to comedy and in "The Countess
Coquette" she was equally successful.
She is the only player who has been
able to introduce successfully to the
American stage full length drama
by the great Arthur Schnitzler, and
in "The Fairy Tale" she scored again.
Departing from this European roper
toire, she starred in "Bella Donna"
playing to crowded houses in all the
cities in the United States. Turning
to vaudeville, she reached the zenith
of her popularity in the only war
play, based upon the present strug-
gle, which is conceded to be Of per-
manent value. In "War Brides" she
is no longer the patrician, but hum
BILE village girl who revolts against
militarism, and with the same subtlety
as in her "Hedda" and bella Dom
ma" brings new meaning to the por-
trait of the oppressed women of q
great empire.

Officers Of Company E stated that
the muster order received by state
guard officers merely means that the
local company will be part Of train
ing camp in the south. 1t is expect
ed that the camp will be opened up
sometime in September and that the
boys will train all winter. This plan
Of course may be altered at any time

Wiliston's City Commission. thru w.

the district meeting at Minot yester-
day which may result in many cities
of the state taking a block of the
Liberty Bonds" which are being of
fered by the government to raise i'm
mediate funds for war.
Mr.. Davidson suggested that if the
committee in charge of the work in
North Dakota deemed it wise, the city
of Williston stood ready to take
block of the bonds, the funds to come
from the sinking fund of the COM
mission. This would not hinder any
department and would be putting the
sinking fund to the best possible use.
The suggestion made by Mr.. David
son was we'll received and other cities
are already taking up the matter to
see what can be done.
