SERVICES SUNDAY

The Inter-Church World Movement
Union service was held last evening
in the Congregational church, and was
largelf attended. President Kroeze
of Jamestown College based his elo-
quent remarks on "The paralytic let
down through the roof into the pres
ence of Christ" and drew from that
bible narrative a present day applica-
ton to the Inter-church detectives.
Reverend Elfring spoke largely on the
financial aspects of the movement and
demonstrated beyond question by sta
tistics and world survey that the
Christian church has been playing at
world wide evangelism, and the giving
of Christian people has fallen pitt
fully below the standard set by an Old
Testament Jew, much less that of the
Man of Galilee. The vocal solo by
Mr.. Meyer and the violin solo by Prof:
Froysaa were rendered in their usual
pleasing and able manner. The ser
vice gives the people a better under
standing of this great movement in
the Christian world today, 1t was EN-

PEAR IN POLITICS

Washington, April ia dramatic
eleventh hour temperance Of Presi-
dent Wilson in the political arena is
being planned, according to PERSISTENT
reports in circulation among Wash

The plan is said to be to have the
president suddenly plungs into the
campaign, probably late next month.
One Of his first acts would be to send
message to congress asking it to
remain in Washington throughout the
summer and pass legislation which
he would urge. Should such pro
gram be carried out. it is expected the
message would be followed by the pub
Tic temperance of the President and
speeches by him.
The plan, according to these reports

the honor guests at a very fine and
well served banquet prepared by the
ladies Of the Guild. The Commercial
Club wanted to show it's appreciation
Of the splendid work done in an ath-
letic way by the home boys and took
this banquet and following dance as a
means to that end. There was not the
large crowd present that should have
been there on such an occasion, but
there was so much going on that per-
haps accounted for the lack in num-
bers. However, we want to say that
this banquet was real feed in every
sense of the word, the ladies dishing
up very literally, the nicely prepared
viands that formed the menu. Fol-

SUPERVISORS HAD 4.

Miss Amidon attended music sup
ervlsor's meeting held in Philadel-
phia the latter part of March. She
said the penalty for attending any
meeting away from home was to de-
liver chapel talk after returning but
she was willing to sacrifice for so en-
joyable and inspiring an absence,
The first day, after reaching Phil
adelphia, was devoted to visiting
schools. Miss Amidon visited Girard
College. This is school for orphan
boys. 1t was founded by Mr.. Girard-
who donated large sum of money for
educational purposes. Boys are taken
at an early age and continue till thew
have gone through college. Miss Ami
don spoke very favorably of the music
that was given in this school and espe-
claiiy OF the chorus work that was con-
Quoted. go -
Another feature Of this meeting was
free concert given by the great VIC
linist, Mr.. Kriesler.
The Wanamaker building was turned
over to the supervisors to use for
their purpose. In this building is,
placed the finest organ in the world.
1t was exhibited at the St. Louis ex-
position. An expert organist is hired
for large sum Of money just to play
this organ. He gives two concerts.
each year.
Mr.. Damrosch, who is head Of must.
cal art in New York City, also a.
former teacher of Miss Amidon, gave
lecture on the Musical and Mental
Preparation of Supervisor. His main
thought was that teachers of music
must have broad views. They must
not only know music but they must
know history, literature, and other
important subjects as well.
The new trend Of teaching piano
lessons in the public school was the
topic of another lecture. This con-
sists of classes of about twenty pu-
pills. These lessons continue until the
pupils reach the fourth grade Of mu-
sic. Not one private lesson is given
during this time. It has been tried
out and proved a success.
Several Of the supervisors were call
ed upon to deliver message. Among
those asked were Miss Amidon who
spoke on the development Of music in
the northwest.
One of the last programs given was;
musical entertainment by the super
visors. The preparation for this con-
sisted Of only three rehearsals. It was
considered to be one of the most sue
cessful musical programs given there.

The state of North Dakota has a
state insurance fund, for fire, tornado,

state, such as school houses, court
houses, ETC., must be insured in that

To show what great big farce~t is
all YOU have to do is to get copy Of
the statement recently sent out by the
commissioner of insurance, S. A. OILS
ness. We note that something over
eleven million dollars worth of insur-
ance has been taken on these public
buildings. Then we notice that the
fund for all purposes Of insurance has
the magnificent amount of sal 1862 40
in which to pay whatever losses might
happen. Just take moments notice
to think this over. If the Valley City
high school or court house should burn
to the ground today there would not
be money enough in the state insur-
ance fund to pay one-half of the loss
of either one of these buildings alone.
Don't you think this is one of the
greatest farces of all time. The state
will not allow public officials to in

Finally, they persuaded the senior to

~, she applied the crimson puff and

the studio for the final pose.
Half an hour later she was on the

pened to glance at the woman across
the aisle. That woman's complexion,
she thought was past forgiveness.
How could some people bear to use
