NORMAL ELEMENTARY

The elementary school Of the Moor
head normal school will present Queen
of the May, a spring festival Of songs
and dances, at the normal school audi
torium at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday aft

ed.
According to custom, the children
have met to plan their May day cele-
bration. They select a beautiful wood
land spot for the festivities and agree
upon Lois, a girl beautiful in character
and fair Of form and face for their
queen. Lois, however not being pres
ent has no knowledge of her coming
honor. The planning completed, the
boys and girls withdraw to their homes
to await the coming of May day.
Meanwhile, a band of tricky elves
and sprites, indignant that mortals
should dare to desecrate their favorite
haunts, endeavor to thwart the chill
drens plans by retarding the coming
Of spring. so that there shall be a lack
of flowers for the festivities. However,
on the eve Of May day, Titania, queen
Of the fairies. calls her good and loyal
subjects together that they may coun-
teract the work of the wicked elves.
Under the influence of love, the magic
spell they exert. flowers spring up
everywhere. May day dawns bright
and clear and the children gleefully
return to crown Lois, Queen of the May,
and to celebrate the day according to
their original plans

AVIATORS WILL
PLAY Big PART
IN WOLRD War
8
Former Moorhead Man, In
Letter, Depicts Plans
Made by Government

That aviation will play a major part
in the war and that the struggle will
last three years are opinions expressed
by Prof. Arthur w. Johnson in a let
ter to Charles S. Marden.
Prof Johnson resigned from the fac
uIty of the Moorhead normal school as
soon as war was declared and enlisted
in the aviation corps of the United
States army. He is now member OF
Co. c, second detachment at San An
tonic, Tex
In his letter to Senator Marden. dat
ed May "a, he says, in part:
Il have now passed the recruiting
stage and am beginning to feel like a
regular. ! feel fine and enjoy the
daily drill and other routine work. OF
course, the inconvenience of camp life
chafed on me a little at first.
I'VE have received very little work
in aviation as yet The Aviation de-
partment is, am sure, being whipped
into shape as fast as possible at
Washington.
Aviation is destined to play a
major part in this war. / am sure.
Yesterday 200 men from our detach-
ment, all experienced carpenters. LEFT
for France. We don't know why they
were ordered across unless it is to
build barracks for the rest Of us.
Extensive work is being done here
in building UP a permanent aviation
school and post. helped unload
aeroplanes from freight cars yesterday.
There is a splendid class of men in
the aviation department. Most Of
them are college bred men or expert
nachinists. There is an abundance OF
surplus energy in a group Of $500
healthy young men that must find ex-
preston in some kind OF activity
Bands. baseball teams, glee clubs and
other organizations are springing up
in every company. While military dis
cipline is strict we are allowed consid-
erable liberty. We may go to San An
tonic any evening but must be in camp
before midnight or get ten days IA
tigue duty or something worse.
II am glad to hear that the men and
women Of Moorhead are taking the
war seriously. We have a tremendous
struggle before US and the sooner we
realize that fact the sooner the end
will come. l expect to serve out the
three year period of my enlistment IN
actual warfare. 1t seems to me moth
ing short of a miracle can end the war
before that time.

BOY. PAGE MIR. ANDERSON.

"Mr. Anderson may call at the
Moorhead police station, prove proper
ty, pay the freight and recover two
large packing boxes supposed to con-
tain bottled alcohol. This shipper did
not play a favorite but divided his
business equally between the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern. Each of
the boxes weighs considerably over 100
pounds and there is no mark or label
to indicate the nature of the contents.
Chief Malvey also seized one cask of
whisky, estimated to contain 120 pints.
1t is not so easy now to pick out the
booze shipments as they are now pack
ing 1t in boxes more like those used for
shipping dry goods.

TOO EARLY TO NAME THE War.
The Opposing Sides Not Likely {,
Agree a. to the Name.

/ PN9tGS 50 10 @ttS lNdItfSs 1N
From the narrow standpoint at the
pension bureau the conflict in which
the United States has at last become
a participant may be the war of 1917
and may receive that Official designa9
ton. To other people than the bureaus
beneficiaries, however-and perhaps to
them also, though they will not say so
that title will be condemned as
absurdly small as well as obviously
| inaccurate. v
What name this war will bear in
history is still to be determined, and
there is little likelihood that the
determining will be done oflcially or
through the taking by anybody Of
definite thought on the subject. At.
present there is visible abroad a lean
| ing toward "the great war as the
proper designation, but that name
| ignores the possibility, denied only by
| dreaming optimists. of a still greater
war to come some day after this one.
World war has its advocates, or at
any rate its users, but 1t is something
OF an exaggeration, as there are still a
few neutral countries and more than g.
few million people, perhaps to whom,
news of the war is still to come Over
in Europe. for the most part, they say
and write simply "the war" and let
it go at that as sufficiently definite for
immediate purposes.
To ind for this war name on which
everybody will agree as accurate and
adequate will probably be as dificult
as 1t has been for us to agree on
name for the fight between north and
south that began in 1851. Both
rebellion" and Civil war are still
criticized, and even resented, below
Mason and Dixon's line, while above
that imaginary frontier "the war be-
tween the states" while not offensive
is held to be variousIy unsatisfactory.
Germany and Austria are sure to
give the war a.name entirely different
from the one that suits Great Britain
France, and Italy, while Russia can be
trusted to differ from her enemies and
friends alike in describing what to her
has been revolution as well as a
war.
