THE POUND

A new feature has been added to
our school. We have a pound. Are
you acquainted with the animal?
No? Well, it is a, place so Prof.
tells us where lost, strayed, or "of
side" articles are placed until claim
ed by the owner. But here is the
rub. It costs person something
to get things out of the pound. The
first offense costs five cents. The
second costs ten cents. We must ad-
NIT we are getting careless about
leaving our books, raps, and other
belongings lying about where they
do not belong, so probably now that
this is going otstrike at our pocket
books we shall improve. It seems
to be working at any rate for after
the first gigantic haul to the "pound"
one does not see hardly anything ly-
ing about. Oh we'll. it is for good
cause. The 'pound" money is being
put into the athletic fund, so it will
be doing some good at any rate.

DAY CELEBRATION

In view of the fact that no local
public demonstration 8 had been
planned for Armistice day it was de-
cided to have school as usual but to
devote a part of the day to fitting
celebration of the great day. Each
room celebrated as it saw fit. The
high school shortened its afternoon
periods sufficiently to provide a short
period which was devoted to read
ings and patriotic singing suitable
to the occasion. Supt. Schwalje
translated several newspaper clip
pings taken from French newspapers
which gave the feelings of the peo-
pie on the other side, and then Miss
White read several selections giving
the American peoples feelings over
the great event. The singing of a
few appropriate songs ended the
meeting.

ATHLETIC NEWS

The whole school seems busy at
work at basket ball. Even the little
toddlers Of the lower grades want
to learn how to Shoot. But they
must wait awhile until they are bit
older ere they may be initiated into
the great art. Games have been
written for. We hope to list the fol-
lowing among our opponents this
year. All have been formally chal-
lenged: Fargo, Wahpeton, Finley,
Sharon, Neville, Aneta, Devils Lake,
Lakota, Breckenridge, Hillsboro and
several others. We hope to be able
to get games with most of them for
now we have the gym in which to
give all comers a battle royal. The
girls are hustling too and plan on a
strong team. Probably the first
game will be played on Thanksgiv-
ing day against the alumni. Let us

orchestra made its debut with sew
eral ably rendered numbers. The

The next number was a trio sung
by eighth and seventh grade girls
accompanied on the piano by Adele
Greenwood. This was followed by
piano solo by Miss Christiansou
and reading by Lillian Savoie. The
orchestra closed the program after
splendid talk by Mr.. Shippy on
laws which are Of special interest
to women. The program throughout
was one of great merit and interest

future sessions of the society will
always find something of interest

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
THE AMERICAN FLAG

June 14th was the birthday of the
flag. The year was 1875. Congress
on that day decided to adopt flag
of thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white with thirteen stars in the field
to represent the number of states.
The first flag was made by Betsy Ross
who kept an upholsterers shop in
Philadelphia.
The Stars and Stripes was first
used in actual military service at
Fort Stanwix, renamed Fort Schuy-
Ter, now called Rome, New York, os
August 3, 1877.
The flag was first recognized by a
foreign power on February IA, 1878,
when the French fired salute to
the Ranger and the independence of
Captain John Paul Jones' feet.
Thirteen stripes have been kept as
standard. The number of stars has
been increased as the number of
states in the Union increased. There
are now 48 stars, one for each state,
and thirteen stripes typifying the
original states.
The flag was first called "Old Glo-
ry" by Captain Steven Driver of Sa-
lem, Mass, in the year 1881.
The American Flag is older than
the present British Union Jack, the
French Tri-color, the Flag spaoin,
and the Flags of Germany and Italy.
Flags used by the United States
navy are made in the Brooklyn navy
yard from bunting made in Massa-
chusets. The bunting is made to
undergo rigorous tests ere it is con-
sidered fit for the country's service.
1t is stepped in salt water six hours
and then exposed to the sun for an
other six hours as part of the pro-
cess.
The Presidents flag consists of a
blue background, with the seal of
the United States in the center.
Do you know that the stripes that
go to make up the French Tri-color
are not of equal width? The blue
stripe is thirty percent of the flag,
the white stripe is thirty three per
cent and the red stripe is thirty sew
en- per cent.

WHO?

I thank you for the flowers, she said,
and then she blushed and dropped
her head.
Forgive me for the words I spoke
last night
The flowers have sweetly proved that
you are right.
Then 1 forgave her-took her hand
in mine,
Sealed her forgiveness with the old,
old sign
And as we wandered through the
dim lit bowers
I wondered who had really sent the
flowers.

Editorials
THE TERCENTENARY

How wonderful has been the pro-
gress of man in the relatively short
space of three hundred years. For
this month we celebrate the great
event in our history, truly the great
event. for upon it much of our sub
sequent development entails. Three
hundred years ago, when the Pill
grims landed at Plymouth, this coun-
try was wilderness. For nearly
two hundred years most of those
who came to live in this new land
remained near the Atlantic seaboard.
The great interior and western part
of our country awaited exploration.
Following the American revolution
migration through and beyond the
Appalachian Highlands beacme more
extensive. More and more people
pushed wstward through the valley
Of the Mohawk and into the region
Of the great lakes. Others followed
valley routes through Pennsylvania
to the headwaters of the Ohio. 9th
ers went southwark and then west
ward through the Cumberland Gap
into the. blue grass regions of Ken
tucky. The great central plains be-
came settled and then with the dis
covery of gold in California a new
impetus was given which led to the
rapid development of the Pacific
slope.
: The mineral resources led to the
establishment of mining centers, and
this was followed by growth of agri-
cultural communities to supply food
to the rapidly increasing population.
The perfection of the steam locomo-
tive and the construction of railroads
came, fortunately. at the time of this
rapid expansion and development of
our national deamin. And today.
our system of transportation is su-
perir to any other in the world. Our
inland commerce has led not only to
an exchange of goods but also to an
exchange of ideas. This latter has
been made the more possible through
the perfection of the telephone. the
telegraph. wireless and aircraft.
The product4oassof manufactured
goods became so great that foreign
markets were sought. Newer indus
tries were developed such as rubber
and native silk industries, until our
growth became so great that we were
no longer self-sufficient, but had to
call more and more upon our for
eign neighbors. Today we import
large quantities of wool. cotton,
hides and skins and many other pro-
ducts, among which tin is no small
item. But all of this is leading US
into larger life and broader Wis
ion Of our possibilities. All hail the
wonderman and woman of our glor-
ious past. May we come to under
stand ourselves and our neighbors
across the seas more and more clear
ly. May the memory of their heroic
strength be with us ever to guide us
:. onward in the path which they bla-
ged with sinews of steel and hearts
of faith.
