The Young Peoples Society met at
the assembly hall in Carbury last Fri
day evening. The following program
"a rendered: Piano Solo, Nina Bak-
kom; Reading, Simon Sperre; Read
ing, Mrs. G. C. Gorder; Speech, Rev.
j. L.. Redahl. Following the program
the election of officers took place. N.
B. Arveson vas elected president, Rev.
J. L. Redahl, vice president, Haydee
l.. Jacobs, secretary and Carl Erick-
son, treasurer. From now on the
meetings will be held alternately in
Carbury and the Turtle Mountain
church. At the meetings in Carbury
the programs will be mainly literary
while at the church they will be car
ried out as a Luther League. With
the live set of officers now at the
head of the society and the general
interest taken by all members we can
look forward to a number of fine
meetings during the spring and sum-
mer months.
Of late there has been a rumor
floating around to the effect that the
Carbury News would be discontinued
in the Bottineau Courant. We wish
to take this opportunity to state that
the Carbury News will be continued in
the Courant as before and that this
rumor has no foundation whatsoever.
We are of the opinion that the Car
bury News is appreciated by a great
number of readers, although we
must admit that u page is not al
ways as interesting as it might be.
While we are on this subject we would
like to say that we appreciate to have
our readers send us news items when
opportunity is given. Our time is
very much taken up with other work
and a little help in this way would be
most gratefully accepted.

who is a natural born pessimist and

age at that time and with such a dis
play Of "slackerism" before us it is
beyond u power to see any reason
whereby this individual has a right to
accuse anyone of being a Stacker. In
cidently this individual tho not of

as yet he has shown no inclination to
