NEW BOOKS FOR

Interesting Volumes Re-
Gently Received-What
They're About

A visit to the library discloses the
fact that quite number of new and
interesting books have been recently
received. ellis Friend Miss McFar-
lane" by Nate Lee bosher, is the
story of boy greatly abused in the
home of his mother by his step-fath-
err, and decides to get into reforma-
tory for the sake of securing an ed
ucation and to fit himself for some
thing in life Miss McFarlane has
charge of this institution, and he i'm
medIately enlists her sympathy and
love by his personal characteristics
which are very admirable. She
proves of untold benefit to him, and
the story is woven around the school
and ITS pupils. There is a thread
of sentiment running through it and
connected with Miss McFarlane, and
will prove interesting to those who
have been reading in the dailies about
the neglect attendant upon these in
stitutions for the orphaned and
abused.
bluegrass and Broadway" by
that popular writer, Maria Thomp-
son Daviess, will be readable by those
wishing something light and without
much plot. A very young and unso-
phisticated authoress from Kentucky
decides to 90 to New York to assist
the producing manager in her play.
He accepts it only because it is pal
pably bad that he wants to bestc1
it upon his star who has provoked
his wrath. The manager falls in love
with the Bluegrass girl, and the story
goes lifting on. 1t is rather senti-
mental, but will while away a tedious
hour.

scene is laid out west, and a Young
English girl comes unchaperoned to
visit her brother, who is a military
attache. 1t nearly ostracizes her in
the military society, but she saves
herself by a lovele25 marriage, and
discovers too late that she might have
been happy win a captain The
story ends happily, but is highly i'm
probable.
"The Charm, School," by Alice
Duer Miller, is slight, merry little
comedy of an altogether too charm
ing young man, who inherits a
school for girls. 1t is his unique idea
to make his students very charming
and succeeds so well that he natural
ly falls victim to his own system
Very light, but readable.
Children will enjoy the new boo,

called Rainbow Valley" and is the
story of the motherless children of
the new Presbyterian minister Of
Four Winds Harbor and their play
mates, the six Blythe children. This
is along the lines of "Anne of Green
Cables" and the young folks will be
delighted with the book
Edward Phillips Opperheim has
written so many clever stories of the
great war, and they are so readable
always, that his latest be ok, "The
Box With the Broken Seals" is not a
disappointment to his readers. 1t is
the story of a German spy and an
English secret service man, and the
plot leads up to a double interna-
tional romance. This is thrilling and
clever, as are all Opperheim's stories
and books.

under the direction of the Gillespie

North Dakota has 81 cooperative
stores, operating as an auxiliary of
the Non-Partisan League, but distinct

boycotted by jobbers. They found a
wholesaler in Duluth who would sell
to them because they could give him
more business than all his other Gus

The American cooperative move

Staid business in North Dakota and
in other places has denounced CO.

SURPRISE SHOWER
FOR BRIDE-T0-BE

/ A very delightful evening was
spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
! t. j. Martin Wednesday, May 10Th,
the occasion being a surprise in the
nature of a shower given in honor
of Miss Ruth Kittleson by her most
intimate friends. Those present
were:
Gladys Myers, Winifred Murphy,
Edna and Lillian Anderson, Mary
Moore, Evelyn Aune, Alice Stuart,
Grace Behner, Wanda Hyatt, Doro-
thy Bjorgen, Lydia Anderson, Myr-
tie CLAYTON, Stella Kittleson, Myrtle

Credit must be given "Andy'' for
entertaining Miss Kittleson at the
Sherman until about time for the
second show, at which time certain
young men were to call at the Mar
tin home for them. Upon approach
ing and seeing no light, of course "a
watt was predicted, so Ruth rushed
in to turn on the light. The readers
can we'll imagine the surprised look
upon her face when she looked
around to recognize the room full of
familiar faces.
In short time all were busy at
hemming and placing their initial on
dish towel for the "bride-to-be," )"
after which she opened and displayed
her many beautiful and useful gifts.
After partaking of a most delici-
Gus two-course lunch, which was
daintily served by the Misses Stella
Kittleson and Gwendolyn Culver, the
guests departed, and their only re-
gret of the evening was that there
were neither lights nor walks on the

Mr.. Blount says that the Indians are

BUILDING ACTIVITY
MEANS IMPROVEMENT

Considerable construction work IS
going on over the town, numerous

and engagements are being made.
Others are being planned to be start
ed later in the season.
Contractor Miller expected to fin

Company this week, but is delayed
by the non-arrival of the copper

POLICE GATHERING in
THE LOOSE STOCK

Residents of the South part of
town and perhaps of other parts are
being annoyed by loose stock, prin-
cipally horses, some hobbled and
some entirely free, which people turn
loose to Craze.
This morning Chief of Police
Kearney gathered in four of them
and put them in pound. This is the
proper course to pursue, as there is
strict ordinance prohibiting loose
stock within the corporate limits. 1t
is discouraging to people who try to
improve yards and gardens to have
them trampled and damaged by ami
mails that have no right on private
premises.

stage was dimly lighted, and one

a limerick or other rhyme purport-
ing to represent characteristics of
certain faculty members. Following
this faculty take-off, the school band
played a march, the Federal Guards.
In his valedictory Judson Quack-
enbush expressed the appreciation of
the class for all that the four years
of high school had meant to them
both the work and the pleasures. He
spoke of their regret at leaving the
school and their intention to go out
into the world and, by making the
most of the opportunities afforded
them, to show that the time and eff
fort spent in making possible their
education, had not been in vain. Af-
ter the valedictory, Rev. S. McIvor
pronounced the benediction.
