Peace Celebration
Senior Class Of Warren High School
Banqueted by Juniors Friday
Evening.

The Annual Junior-Senior BANQUET
was held at the High School building
last Friday evening, under the auspices
of the Junior class. They chose to
make this event a Peace celebration in
contrast to that OF last year, when War
note was struck. The gymnasium was
beautifully decorated in white, while
the American eagle stood guard over
the flag beneath which hung German
helmets, fittingly hung with crepe.
VIM. Dixon welcomed the guests in a
happy manner after which Miss Bowen
sang song which was greatly appre-
+ ciated. A four course banquet was
then served by the Sophomore girls in
the sewing room of the Home Training
department, which had been festooned
with streamers Of purple and gold, the
Senior class colors. The flowers Of the
evening were white carnations. Walter
LindQuist made a very clever toast
master and the following toasts were
offered: @
''The Seniors, Mrs. Cassidy.
Response, Gladys Grindeland.
''The Juniors, Mr.. Peel
Response, Clara Halvorson.
An impromptu speech regarding
''Toast and Toasts", was cleverly given
by Mr.. Miller.
Dahlof's orchestra played during the
banquet.
Later in the evening a jolly farce,
"A Case Of Suspension, was given by
members of the Junior class. The cast
of characters was as follows:
Dorothy Agnes Lundgren.

With the result Of their efforts.

Hi1lebOe Plats New
:. Addition to CITY

J. S. 'Hilleboe has plated a new adj
dition to the city of Warren, consisting
Of several blocks of residence lots.
This addition joins the city on the
southwest and lies close to North Star
College. Being close to the business
section Of the city, also, these lots
should prove very desirable In a very
short time there will, no doubt, be a
number of fine homes built there. The
demand for residences and building lots
in the city has been very brisk this
spring and the opening Of this new adj
dition gives the city additional room in
which to expand and grow. ~

community LAY
PROGRAMS PLEASE
DR.. F. Osten-Sacken Urges Organiza,
ton of Community Club in Lecture
" Saturday Evening.

The third of the series of Community
Entertainments given under the auspi-
ces of the Commercial Club, was given
Friday and Saturday in connection
with the moving picture show at the
Strand Theatre. The entertainment
under this arrangement proved little
long, but nevertheless, 1t was one that
held the interest of the audience from
start to finish of the varied program of
lectures, music and movies.
The lectures given by F. Osten-Sack-
zen in the interests of community devel-
opment were delivered in very earnest
and expressive manner. Mr.. Osten-
Sacken was no stranger to Warren
audience, having spoken here last year
during the summer meeting Of the Red
River Valley Development association
At each Of the lectures he gave goodly
portion Of his life's history, which to us
did not seem to have any connection
with community advancement. His
talk on patriotism was to the point and
heartily applauded. On Saturday even
ing he urged the organization of a
vance the interests Of the community.
He said that as rule the Commercial
Clubs had been failures and as far as
community life was concerned had out
lived their usefulness. The Community
Club should own building where all
might gather and meet in a social way.
It should be equipped with reading
rooms, rest room, gymnasium, etc., and
should be open at all times and free to
everybody. A community's greatest
asset is the young people and build
ing of this kind will be great help in
keeping them from drifting to the large
cities. He stated from 40 to so towns
in North Dakota are at the present time
constructing community buildings,
many of them being erected as memoir
ial buildings in honor of the boys who
served in the great world war.
DR.. Osten-Sacken also gave a lecture
on Sunday afternoon and spoke on ad-
vertising and church work. as COM
munity essential. He gave several
good points on advertising and said he
usually could tell live town by the
amount of advertising the local news
papers had and how the merchants
use their space for displaying their
goods. He said that by uniting great
many of the churches a more smooth
running community would be obtained
and also in this way give the minister
a larger salary.
The music for these entertainments
was given by the Community Quartette
and was greatly appreciated.

Arthur Welin Writes to his Niece, Miss
Myrtle Sk0glund, the Following
Letter From France.
April 20, 1919.

Dear Niece: * .-....-,. -.
You have probably begun to think
that have completely forgotten you,
as have not answered your letter be-
fore this. For this long delay I must
ask your forgiveness as there really has
been no excuse for letting you wait so
long. But there is usually so little to
write about over here except to say
"hello" and then "goodby", that have
been putting off writing time after an
other. J.
was lucky enough to secure two
weeks furlough short time ago, so in
not having anything more interesting to
write about, will tell you little about
the trip took during my furlough.
At the time, we were located at
place called Souhisme lie Grand, which
is about ten miles south of Verdun.
Verdun is, as you may have heard or
read about, one of the best fortified
cities in France and the German armies
have tried to capture it several times
during the past war. And you may be
sure that the city and surrounding
country show the effect Of the terrible
artillery fire which the Germans sent
over at different times. In the city it.
self don't believe there is building
that has not been hit and the greater
number of them are nothing but ruins.
BY the way, I started out to tell you
about my furlough and instead I am
wasting both paper and ink (such as it
isl telling you about something entire
" different. Well, anyhow you know
where started from on my trip, so we
will now go on board the train which is
due to leave at 3 80 p. M, but is usual
" late and was especially so this time.
In the meantime, we hang around out
side the station and try to keep warm
some way or another which is little
hard as there are no waiting rooms in
most French railway stations similar to-
ours at home, and besides it happened
to be showing, which was probably our
good fortune because If it isn't showing
it is quite sure to be raining in that
part of France. At last we are on the
train and we feel quite happy, (there
we're only about 125 men in this bunch,
so standing room in the train was well
taken up), as we begin to plan on the
various good times we expect to have.
Everything is fine until we reach Bar
LIE Due, where we are to change trains.
We arrive at about seven in the even
ing and try our hardest to get some
thing to eat and place to sleep, both

n. r. Stanchfield, writes the editor of
the Sheaf a letter dated May 5, 1919,
from which is culled the following ex-
tracts:
"Just line to let you know that I
expect to land at Newport News, Va;
May 9th, so you can send the Sheaf to
my Minneapolis address.
Il received good many copies of the
Sheaf while in France and they were
always interesting to me. Was sorry
to learn Of the sorrow in your family,
but such is life.
II met Victor Holmgren and Arthur
Wittensten at st. Nazaire, France, and
they sailed from that port for U. S. on
the U. s. S. "Liberat0r" about April
25th. Also met Chauncey Easton there
and think he will sail some time in
April. All three boys are looking fine
and are with the 2Sth Division Of
Pennsylvania, called the keystone Di-
vision.
"Some of the boys met Arthur Lee
gault (Frenchy) lately, so he is not
among the missing, as was expected.
Yours sincerely,

Before entering the service, Mr..
Stanchfield was with the Spaulding Ele-
vator Company in this city. His many

SOLDIERS CIVIL RIGHTS.

The soldier in the United States SER
vice has certain rights which he and
his family should know. When you get
back from the army, If you find that
the court has rendered a judgment
against you, do not worry about it.
You still have chance to be heard if
you apply to the court in person or
through an attorney, within ninety days
after your discharge. The court may
stay any judgment rendered against
you or your property. If payments on
a mortgage have been overdue, the
property cannot be foreclosed until
three months after you have been dis
charged. Your taxes or assessments
may have become overdue. If your
family filed statement of the case, the
property would not be sold for unpaid
taxes. Even if such sale was made you
can redeem the property by paying six
per cent interest. This must be done
within six months after the Presidents
proclamation that the war is over. The
Red Cross Home Service will be glad
to advise you on these matters. Debts
contracted before you went into the
army are still due, with interest, and
you will, Of course, pay them as soon
as you are able to do SO. All our gov
eminent guarantees is that your alb
sence on military service will not count
against you in court. II you are prov
ing up on homestead, your time in
the army counts as time spent on the
homestead.
