Jude to the final "Good-Night." This
charming eve-song presented remark
able expressive melody and erotic
beauty. The quartet has established
a splendid reputation in Carbury and
the school and community are genuine
ly glad and grateful to them because
they were with US. We commend the
Bottineau Quartet as an organization
from which any community nay pro-
cure a musical program of excellent
standard and an entertainment of real
joy and satisfaction. They did excel
lent work, appealing both to children
and to adults; the effect of their pro-
gram is admirable; their entertain
ment is superb. The quartet is wor-
thy of every commentator and should
have the earnest support Of every
community in Bottineau county. We
affirm that they are deserving of all
the praise and encouragement which
those who RI privileged to hear them
will accord.

A Successful Entertainment.

In spite of the unfavorable road
conditions, the musical concert given
by the Bottineau Quartet last Mon
day evening, was we'll attended. The
patrons, friends and children who
gathered in the assembly oom of our
schools to listen to this musical en-
tertainment-all pronounced it a de-
cided success. The entertainers sue
c~essfully fulfilled every advertised
statement and aroused the interest Of
the audience from the start to the fin
ish. Although the assembly room was
not crowded, we do not hesitate to
make the assertion that had the roads
been in a fair condition at least, the
capacity of our assembly room would
have been absolutely too small to &C
commodate the crowd. The enthusi-
astic, demonstrative response from
those who were present, gave ample
evidence to the entertainers that their
efforts were truly appreciated. The
program was effectively arranged; it's
variety and piquancy furnishing an
impressive and pleasing effect. The
joyous motif Of the Introductory sac
red selections yer admirably beau
tiful and the presentation Of these Sc
lections were representative of good
Interpretation. Following this, Mr..
| Chandler favored the audience with
a piano solo. In this number a dom
inant figure was announced after the
opening chord and this required rem
i~niscently throughout the entire move
ment. The. enthusiastic applause
which followed this number prompted
an encore, which he played in an ar
tistic manner Of keen interest was
the solo "Lucky Jim" which was sung
by Mr. Bjerkness. The solo was sup
ported by the other members of the
quartet, who wove an ornate web
against the leading voice. The poig-
nant ache Of this little sketch was
felt throughout; it being thoroughly
stepped in a pensive mood and sub
jected at last to a ludicrous phase.
The following numbers presented &C.
casions featuring incidental solos
by Mr.. Falkenstein and Mr.. Scott,
both of whom exemplified their artis-
tic abilities by rendering their parts
in a truly professional manner. Yet,
one who contributed much towards
the success of the program, was the
interpretative reader Rev. Meyers. He
accompanied the quartet as their
reader, giving two readings which
were very successful in gaining a
hearty response and recognition. The

WILL NOT FIX PRICE OF
SOUTHERN COTTON SEED

tor in Washington, by J. J. Brown.
commissioner OF agriculture of Geor-
gia. and Lem B. Jackson, director of
she market bureau of the state de-
partment Of agriculture, the price of
cotton seed will not be fixed by the
Food Administration, and the farm
ers OF the state and, other southern
states haye no reason to worry on
this score.
What the Food Administration will
do on November will be to place a
license on manufacturers and indie
pendent buyers of cotton seed, the
purpose being to prevent specula-
ton in cotton seed and cotton seed
products that would burden the con-
sumers of these products. This will
leave the situation perfectly free so
far as the farmers are concerned,
and they will continue to sell their
seed at the price fixed by supply and
demand in the open market.
