PATRIOTIC MEETING

A very popular patriotic program
was given at Gust Erickson's farm
Tuesday by the children of School
No. /, Dist. IS, under the direction of
Mrs. Charlotte Greb. w. c. Lyons,
Miss Lydia Nelson Miss Clara Larson,
Mrs. Geo. Drake and Rev. J. L. F..
Bohnhoff, of this city took a promin-
ent part. Much credit must be given
to Miss Minnie Nelson, for it was
she who took the speakers out there
Mr.. Lyons gave an interesting talk
along patriotic lines, Miss Nelson led
the community singing, Miss Larson
gave interesting hints on Food Con-
servation, Mrs. Drake, county chair
man of the Third Liberty Loan drive
for women pointed out the need and
value Of bonds to the: government,
and Rev. Bohnhoff emphasized the
great need of Y. M. C. A. and Red
Cross work for the boys in France.
After the program had been dispos-
ed of the children's parents of the
school served lunch for which a
small fee was charged. Mr.. Thomas
Gassman was drafted to be the COL
lector and every one responded beau
tifully as the children realized $50
from their lunch. This sum it is un-
derstood is to 60 to the Red Cross
fund.
Without doubt this was one of the
most successful meetings held this
spring. Some $50 people were pres
ent and all reported that the meeting
was not only interesting and pleas
mo but instructive as we'll

ANNUAL CONTEST
!. FRIDAY EVENING

The annual preliminary contest of
the students in the High school in de-
clamation will be held in the High
school auditorium on Friday evening
at 8 o'clock. There are so many con-
testants that a prior contest will be
held on Thursday afternoon to choose
the smaller group who will contest in
the evening on Friday. This year
there are more contestants than ever
in the history of the school. This is
probably due to the fact that Valley
City won the state championship last
year at Grand Forks. The boy and
girl winning on Friday evening will
represent the school at Grand Forks
on May II and 10 in the state con-
test. Some very excellent material in
this work is present in the school this
year and the contest promises to be
the best ever held. A small admis-
sion fee of 25 cents to adults and Is
cents to students will be charged. It
is to be hoped that large audience
from outside of the school will be
present to encourage this work which
is as important as any of the school
activities.
