Those taking part in the contest
we're Miss Lenora Stebbins of Han
cock, Miss Imogene Ridgeway Of
Chokio, Miss Louise Erstad of Dom
nelly, Miss Alma Maanum of Alberta
and Miss Edna Beimel of Morris.
Mrs. Margaret Baker of st. Paul was

WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL
WILL ERECT MEMORIAL
Suitable Recognition Will Be Made
For Boys Who Served in Recent
War

A movement is now on foot to
raise money among all former stud
ents of the West Central School of
Agriculture for the purpose of erect
ing suitable memorial to the BOYS
of the school who served in the war.
Each student will be asked for
$1.OO and not more than S1.OO will
be accepted from any one person.
This is done in order that all will
feel on equal interest in the mem
or1al erected. Each person who
sends a dollar will also be entitled
to cast vote as to the sort of men,
orial. There are now three plans un-
der consideration and which ever
receives the largest number Of votes
will be carried out. The first is to
erect magnificent 100 foot f1ag-pole
on the campus with a tablet contain
ing the names of all men. The Sec
ond is a bronze tablet to be placed
in the library with the names Of all
men who were in the service in
scribed thereon. The third PROPOSE
tion is a large handkerchief mem
orial picture with appropriate de-
signs and an honor roll.
Which ever one of the three is de-
cided on it is hoped to have the mem
orial erected by the 18th Of July so
that 1t can be dedicated when the
students have their annual reunion.

SOLDIERS CONSIDER
FORMATION OF LEGION
Temporary Post of American Legion
Formed in Morris Last
Friday

About rs returned soldiers met at
the armory in Morris Memorial Day
to organize and form a post of the
American Legion. Posts are being
organized in every town in the coun-
try and all soldiers of the late war
will be asked to join so that they can
be kept track of in the future.
Not much could be done at this
meeting but it was decided to or
ganize temporary organization and
send for a charter and all informa-
tion and then form a permanent post
at a later date. The matter will be
taken up again on the 4th of July,
when all soldiers in the county will
be in Morris to take part in the big
celebration.
Every one at the meeting Of last
Friday was intensely interested in
the American Legion and without a
doubt the next few weeks will find
a number of Posts organized in diff
erent parts Of the county.
George Welcher is pushing the
matter here and any soldiers desiring
information can secure it from him.
Mr.. Welcher is also working with
Mrs. Hancock in getting complete
records Of the Stevens county boys
who were in the service and both he
and Mr.. Hancock will be glad to give
out any knowledge which they have
regarding army papers, clothing, etc.

PARENTS ADVISED TO
BECOME MOVIE FANS
Practical Way of Solving the Movie
Problem Advocated at Parents
Teachers Meeting

That the best way to solve the
movie problem is for parents to be-
come movie fans in order to encour-
age the selection of the right kind
of films was the practical advice Civ
en- by Mrs. F. A. Stever on the movie
problem at the meeting of the Par
ents' and Teachers Association on
Monday evening. Mrs. Stever point
ed out how the various kinds Of CEN
sOrship had failed. and that since the
managers of the local movies are
more than pleased to send for films
that are requested and recommended
by local people therefore the best way
for parents to get films which they
approve is to inform themselves Of
the best films and request that they
be shown.
At the close OF the valuable and in
structive presentation of the sub
ject by Mrs. Stever, the president
was authorized to appoint commit
tee to make suggestions as to films
desired to be shown in the local the
atres and Mrs. Stever, Mr.. Ringness
AS the meeting of the Parents and
Teachers Association held in the
auditorium of the High School build
ing last Monday evening was the last
meeting of the parents and teach
ers during the present school year,
brief words of farewell and well
wishes were spoken by Mrs. J. W.
Harris on behalf of the parents and
responded to by Miss Woodman on
behalf of the teachers.
The present officers were continued
for next year in view of the very re-
cent organization of the association.
Supt. Utne reported that he has re-
Gently been receiving committees and
delegations from the various grades
in the schools asking that the hour
morning be changed from the pres
ent o'clock hour to o'clock in the
morning to continue in constant ses-
sion until 1910 p. m. thereby re-
leasing the pupils from the cOnine-
ment of the school room during the
hot hours of the afternoons, which
are to be expected for the remainder
of the school year.
After discussions and remarks by
various parents and teachers it was
unanimously voted to make the sug-
gested change Wednesday morning,
June 4th, this week. The only serf-
Gus question in this connection was
whether the proposed change to so
early an hour in beginning will re-
suit in much increase in tardiness Of
the pupils at the morning sessions.
During the regular program the
audience was highly entertained by
a reading given by Mrs. c. G. Jen-
nings, a piano solo by Mrs. Betters,
and a solo by Mrs. J. G. Morrison.
After Mrs Stever's address and the
regular program, the meeting ad-
journed to partake together of de-
lightful refreshments and social con-
verse.
