EVERYBODY our
FOR BIG NOISE"
Whole City Takes Day Off for
Celebration of Great
Day.

Well, it all over, and today is the day
we 60 back To work. Certainly the city
enjoyed one tremendously big time yes
terday at the expense of th Hun. Every
body, except those held in their homes by
illness, was out cheering. marching or
Watching the parade. Everybody was
happy and good-humored and everybody
cnioved TO the full one of the greatest
,lavs in the history OF the nation.
Last Thursday it was a Bedam that
broke loose, but Yesterday IT was de-
hr.um The truth was known and The
memory of The hoax last week seemed
only Ia serve TO make the people more
ANXIOUS to show what real celebration
was.
Impromptu banners OF every possible
dcs ription appeared and many OF them,
of course. had TO do with the passing of
the KAISER. Most of the lettering on the
banners was crude, but that only served TO
prove the rapiditv with which the celc-
brants had preparation the great parade.
And how they did carry on on the most
good-naturcd way possible Tin horns
appeared = II by magic, and somebody
in ms big city must have done land office

government has been asking for months
to conserve i'm, where did all the tin for
the horns come from?

+, NOVEL FEATURE.
One Of the many odd features Of the
most unique parade ever pulled off
at long or short notice was an Italian
in a nondeScript sort Of wagon drawn
hy an aged white horse. There were
American and Italian flags floating around
him and he stood III front with the rciuS
of the horse held in his teeth. This en-
thusiastic Italian. no doubt thrilled with
the work of his folks IN the old country
led by Di,z made a pre-: cnSc Of trimming

architecture He did not remind one ot

The big noise" was iii the morning

more. but the afternoon demonstration
was more cf n vehIcular sort There

DIOCESE OF BISMARCK

Mandan: In the Church of St. Jo-
seph a new church bell was blessed
on Palm Sunday. 1t is the gift of
Mrs. VIM. Boehm, in memory of her
deceased husband. On April 81, the
Patron Feast of ST. Joseph, the Rt.
Rev. Vincent Wehrle, o. S. B., Bishop
of Bismarck, administered Confrma-
ton after Pontifical High Mass. A
class of 100 received Confirmation. In
the afternoon the school children, the
confirmation class and the societies
of the parish escorted the Rt. Rev.
Bishop and the clergy to the new
school, where the blessing took place.
The choir sang the liturgical psalms,
and then proceeded to the auditorium
in the basement of the new st. Jo-
seph's school, where they sang the
first number of the program. The hall
was soon filled, and speeches followed,
John F. Sullivan acted as chairman.
Hon. J. M. Devine, former governor
of North Dakota, gave an address and
the Bishop spoke. The program clos
ed with the national hymn, "The Star
Spangled Banner" which was sung by
the audience.
After the program the visitors were
given an opportunity to inspect the
new school. The building is located
on the northwest side of ST. Joseph
Church, on an elevation leading to a
terrace. The school measures 70x75
feet, and is built of Hebron brick. II
consists of full basement and two
stories; the basement comprises a
good-sized auditorium with stage and
furnishings, locker-rooms, kitchen and
other facilities. In the two stories
are eight class rooms, office, library
and sodality room.
Many clergymen and Sisters were
present at the ceremonies. The Ben
edictine Sisters, who constitute the
teaching faculty of st. Joseph's School
and their pupils enjoy the increased
advantages afforded by the new
school. 1t is hoped soon to erect 6
new Sisters Home in place of the
old one, for both the convent and the
church, used for school purposes, were
partly destroyed or damaged by fire
on October 20, 1917.
