han gave group Of Moore's melodies
most pleasingly. Miss Fisher was ac-
companist, and also played a piano
solo to open the program Miss Fish
er is great favorite with Normal
School audiences.
Part II was farce-The Mouse
Trap, by w. D. Howells. Miss Eilizabe
Click and Mr.. Waldo Evenson took
the principal parts and interpreted
their lines splendidly. Misses Mullen,
Stiles, Paulson, Richardson and Sig
rudson took their parts most spirit
eddy turnout. The continuous laugh
ter of the audience, Nth bursts of ap-
plause gave zest to the performers.
The entertainment Melted twenty dol
lars, which will apply on the purchase
of service flag to be presented to
the Normal school in honor of the
students and faculty members who are
now i'm the service. The present plan
is to present it on April 9Th, the an
niversary Of the pre- lamation of war,
making the presentation the center of
a patriotic meeting in which one of
our local patriotic speakers will give
an address.
Miss Bryson, of the Domestic
Science department, arrived yester-
day from her home in Minnesota,
where she was called thru the illness
of her mother.
Miss DERRICK has also returned
from her home in Ohio where she has
been for the past three weeks. She
comes back feeling much better for
her short absence from duty.
: The school closes this week for the
winter term, taking up the spring
term work on Monday next, there be-
ing no intermission as has been usu-
ally the case at the close of the term.
4 Mr.. Lybarger spoke on Tuesday
evening to very small audience on
"War Finances" Altho eulogizing
the administration in it's handling Of
the situation in one breath, he SEEM
ed to criticise it in the next taking
issue very pronouncedly on the bond
ing system used to help finance the
war. AS the lecturer asked for COM
ment and question, the meeting closed
with a most spirited and patriotic
speech by Mr.. r. A. Nestos, who was
in the audience, and who differed with
the speaker on almost every point,
as did the majority Of the people pre-
sent. The feeling prevailed that dis
loyalty was implied if not plainly ex-
pressed. Loyal American citizens
resent anything which serves to
arouse class prejudice or create a
feeling Of unrest in time of war
when all must stand together if the
common foe is to be conquered.
The eighth grade of the Model
school have now enrolled in the Junior
Red Cross, and will take up the work
of that division under the direction OF
Miss Bryson.

rotary, Mr.. Goodman has come into
almost daily contact. He has accept.

Carroll Receives Autograph Letter
From President Wilson.
Dorr H. Carroll, member of the
state Council Of Defense, has receiv-
ed the following letter from Presi-
dent Wilson, signed by the President
himself:
The White House, Washington,
March 10, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Chairman:
Your state, in extending it's NATHAN
al defense organization by the crea-
ton of community councils, is in my
opinion making an advance Of vital
significance. It will, believe, result
when thoroughly carried out in weld
ing the nation together as no nation
of great size has ever been welded be-
fore. 1t will build up from the bot
tom an understanding and sympathy
and unity of purpose and effort which
will no doubt have an immediate and
decisive effect upon our great under
taking. You will find it, think, not
so much new task as unification
Of existing efforts, fusion Of ener-
gies now too much scattered and at
times somewhat confused into one
harmonious and effective power.
It is only by extending your organ
ization, namely, the spreading Of the
realization of the great truth that it
is each one Of us as an individual cit
izen upon whom rests the ultimate re-
sponsibility. Through this great new
organization we will express with
added emphasis our will to win and
our confidence in the utter righteous
ness Of our purpose.
Sincerely yours,
Mr.. Dorr H. Carroll, Chairman,
State Council of Defense,
Minot, North Dakota.

Although no official announcement
as to the result of the recent confer
ence on the barley situation between
State Food Administrator Ralph P.
Merritt and the gain buyers has yet
been received, the Imperial County
Farm Bureau has been offered 81. Is
for 10000 sacks of barley delivered
f. o. b. Ell Centre or CaleXico and at
other stations in proportion to freight
rate.
In view of the uncertainty of the
barley market, this price, it is thought
will be accepted by some Of the grow
ers in the absence of any official as
surance as to a possible price being
fixed for the grain by the government
Growers interested in the disposal of
their barley at this price are urged
to phone the Farm Bureau, 121, Ell
Centro at once, stating the amount
available.

The story begins IN the Imperial
Valley. The personae are Rev. E. L..
B. Mcclellan of Brawley, Professor
Griffin of Brawley, Bert Lemons of
FL Centre, and the writer, from a
number of places.
The time was Thursday morning

that the death rate of the denizens Of

any necessity for an explanation.
But, not satisfied with the evening

Perhaps it is just as well. there

to suffer little financial stress in
raising its quota for the Fourth

as large as its quota of the third

To raise the sum required by the
government would have been easy
here except for the failure Of the
barley crop. But in that event.
also, the community would have
deprived itself. of nothing. 1t is
