Many ski Entries Expected
From Winnipeg and
Other Cities.

|. Grand Forks sport lovers are await
ing with interest the skill tournament,
which Is scheduled to be. held here at
the Lincoln park slide Sunday, Feb
ruary 2. For the past several years,
ski contests have beer attended by a
great deal of enthusiasm and present
indications are that this enthusiasm
will now be increased.
Many of the boys who have taken
part in this sport annually, are eth
er across the water or in camps. This
may interfere slightly with the plans,
but an effort Is being made to secure
the best o~btainable skiiers and to give
the people Of this city an opportunity
to see an unusually interesting match.
A number of returns are being re-
ceived from prospective contestants,
and inquiries from all parts Of the
state reveal the fact that the event is
causing M little interest.
During the past month a large
and in this short time great progress
has been evidenced. Remarkable
jumps of 60 and 70 feet are being
made by amateurs, and this record is
expected to be bettered before the
final contest.
Among the local sportsmen, who
are planning to try out for the final
contest and who are noted for their
ability along this line. are Roy An
derson, Henry Holt. Oscar, Knutson,
Oscar Johnson, A. M. Shot, Thelmar
Evanson and a large, number of 9TH
ers who may be seen practicing con-
tinually.
Noted skiiers are expected here
from Winnipeg, Fergus Falls. Mino,
and many other cities where this
sport enjoys wide popularity.

The first session Of the Grand Forks

c. A.. is acting as devotional leader.
DR.. K. r. Stolz gave the first Of his
series of twelve informal lectures on
the Teacher and the Bible, discussing
the original languages of h Bible.
He called attention to the character
istics of the Hebrew in which most Of
the Old Testament was originally
written, and showed that this was
life Of the Jews by the Aramaic. DR..
Stolz pointed out that the New Tesla
ment books were written in Greek, in
which the language of Homer and
Plato become u~niversalized and pop
ularized. Recent excavations in the
Orient have thrown much light upon
the meaning Of the Bible languages.
Professor H. E. Willis gave a lee
ture introducing his course in the
referred to the social nature Of Jesus
statements and insisted that the re-
construction Of the world must be
based upon the principles. Of the
Kingdom of God if society is to be-
come truly democratic. "Paganism is
selfishness, Christianity is unselfish-
ness" he said. Resolution and pray
er are the e Jesus preached for

own book, THE Law Of Social JUS
tice," as the text for his course.

STORY HOUR
NOT TO Be
RESUMED
Non-residents May Secure
Library Cards For
One Dollar.

At a meeting Of the library board Of
the city public library, held last eve
ming, it was decided not to resume the
story hour for children this year, and
that the present system Of supplying
the children with reading will be con-
tinued until spring. After detailed
discussion regarding the changing of
the present regulation regarding loan
ing books to readers outside Of the
ent order would continue to hold, and
that readers other than local people
would be required to pay a small fee.
It was considered advisable by the
directors of the library, not to resume
the children's story hour, IN account
Of the present health conditions. OF
necessity, a great number of children
are gathered together during the
story hour, and it was considered wise
to postpone the sessions until spring.
The hour will be taken up again as
Don as the session can be held out
of-doors. Attention Is again called to
the fact hat the story room for chill
dren closes at 6 o'clock p. m. every
day.
Reduction of -.
After considerable discussion con
corning the loaning of books free to
pOOPAC outoAOC I14V ClSys AL Il1O Guilty
n East Grand Forks, it was decided
to continue with the present policy of
charging a fee for the use Of library
books. The card rate, however, was
lowered from three dollars yearly. to
n dollar yearly. It was decided that
it would be unfair to taxpayers in the
city to allow the books to be loaned
without pay. The directors, during
the discussion, referred to the propo-
sition of allowing the free use Of
books to county residents as soon as
the county commissioners would take
up the matter and appropriate a sum
proportional to that the taxpayers
in the city contribute to the upkeep
of the library. The same rights would
also be conceded to the city of East
Grand Forks, whenever the city coun-
Gil Of that city should deem it adj
visable to appropriate a proportional
sum to the library.
May Get More Fiction.
The former policy Of limiting the
number Of books of fiction that a be
drawn out at one time on one card
was somewhat modified. In the adult
department only the change was
made, which now admits one person
to draw five fiction books at one time.
No limit was placed on the number
of non-fiction books that can be
drawn at one time. o.

our most optimistic dreams are now
being realized, in a statewide pros

state nave played a most important
factor in the change.
Nov, a in 1905, my actions are
prompted by a sense of duty. The

progressive. The opportunities for

bank, and all we ever received from
the state for buildings was 10000.
