0RATORICAL MEET
Declamatory and Oratorical Con
test. Were Best of Kind
< Held Here

The District Dec1amatory and Ora:
torical contests which were held at
the Willmar Junior Auditorium were
thoroly enjoyed last Tuesday even
ing with a program of High School
speakers of no mean ability. The de-
clamatory contest was entered by
young lady declaimers. These were:
the Misses Margaret DAILY of ,Renville,
Irene Meyer of Alexandria, Hazel
Kohr of Montevideo and Fern Swan
son of st. Cloud. The girls displayed
unusual interpretative power and all
possessed good expression. A slight
stiffness on the part of two of the
speakers marred their impression.
Miss Meyer was awarded first place
by Judges Josephine Jenness, Harry
Wahlstrand Of the Wi!lmar High
School and p E. Miller of Morris in
their decision presented to the chair
man, Supt. Nesrud of Ortonville. She
delivered the "Arena Scene from Quo
Fadis" in very eloquent and effective
manner. She possessed great ease
and self control on the stage and her
enunciation and impersonation were
indicative Of good training. Fern
Swanson was given second place with
her Gentlemen, the King" presented
with appropriate force and a voice
which suited the dramatic scene there
in depicted. Madame x was the dec
lamation given by the two remaining
speakers with Miss DAILY being given
the honors in best presenting this
tragedy picture.
The oratorical contest included the
following participants: Eugene Scott
of St. Cloud, George Buffers of Rem
vile, Francis Hughes of Glenwood
and Lucian Kaercher of Ortonville
Francis Hughes spoke first on "Vis-
ions Of War and gave it in a pleasing
manner altho his appearance was not
relaxed and informal and his speech
somewhat artificial. A more natural
expression would have greatly accel-
Grated his standing He received
third standing.
George Buffers delivered the ora
ton "Americanism" in an earnest
and logical form. He appealed for the
removal Of the hyphen. His appear
ance was not of the polished oratori-
cal type but his personal interest in
his theme made his appearance and
impression in delivery and voice very
effective. Buffers received second
place.
'"The New South" was delivered by
Eugene Scott and Lucian Kaercher
with the latter outclassing his COM
petitor on the same Grafton and clear
ly demonstrating himself as the best
orator of the evening. Eugene Scott
has fine speaking voice but falls
short in the modulation of the voice
and in delivery. Kaercher convincing
ly showed that in presentation of an
Grafton he possesses both the express
sion and appearance which are the
requisites the Judging officials require
AS trained and we'll bred orator
Kaercher has bright future ahead.
Scott was awarded fourth place.
Before the declamatory contest
Walter Rykken rendered a vocal solo
and the Girls Glee Club sang several
songs. Between the two contests the
Boys Glee Club sang "Rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep" Before the de-
cision of the judges was presented the
combined singing clubs sang several
songs.

our son and brother, Christian, and

Just two years ago they left us,
Lonely are our hearts today.

Why God took them thus away. ~.

Friends may think our wound ishealed
But they little know the sorrow,
Lies within DUR hearts concealed.

CURB TRADING
EXTREMELYLICH
Majority of Few Transactions
Made at Materially
Lower Figures.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Business
on the Broad street curb was the
smallest in volume has been noted
in a long time and most OF the
few transactions that were made
were at materially lower prices,
the market generally being heavy
and with an absence of speculative
demand that made it hard to sell
stocks even at material conces-
sions. The declines, however. were
not extensive chiefly because the
only forced liquidation that could
be expected was that of securities
carried in stock exchange accounts
which were influenced by the de-
clines in issues on the board. The
motor group was one of the weak
est features. Goodyear Tire COM
mon selling at to 4 and Cleveland
Auto was traded in during the fore
noon at 80. Intercontinentar Rub
Der was heavy selling at 8a but
these sales did not indicate the de-
gree of weakness, as many stocks
were offered at material conces-
sions and no sales were made be-
cause of an absence of bids. South
ern Coal and Iron, which had held
firm during the long period of mar
ket disturbances, also became
heavy, declining to 81. Sweet
was steady, selling at ,2A.
A small amount of business was
transacted in Aetna Explosive GER
tificates at IL.
Special interest was attached to
the trading in Anglo-American be-
cause of the heavy selling of that
stock yesterday, when it declined
from lax on the announcement OF
the issue of new stock. Today it
started at lax and moved UP to
Is Z, but was under pressure again
and yielded in the afternoon. Stand
ard Oil of Indiana sold during the
forenoon at IS u to 671z. Skelly Oil
yielded to the new low record of
3fs. Other low priced oil stocks
showed fractional losses.

HEAVY TRADING
In BOND MARKET
Increased Activity in Liberty
Issues Responsible; 3las
React Slightly.

NEW YORK, June THE bond
market recorded another heavy
volume of sales today. The total
was not as large as on last Thurs
day when the Liberty 34s declined
to $500 in a market that produced
more than S20.000,000 of sales. but
it was far in excess of the average
daily turnover thus far this month.
As usual the increased activity was
due to heavy trading in the Liberty
issues. The 314s. having recovered
to SS.9S last saturday and having
closed at SS.22 on Monday, reacted
to S7.70 this afternoon. While SELL
ing predominated in this issue, the
Victory AZ were advancing Il cents
to 1924, the third 4hs about so cents
and the AIS of the fourth loan were
making a gain commonsurate with
their large outstanding volume.
Foreign government issues were
less active by comparison with
the Libertys and also by COM
parison with yesterdays totals, and
prices moved fractionally downward.
French IS were a half point under
the Monday closing, Denmark IS the
same amount, and United Kingdom
5 hs sold mostly at a half point con-
cession. Industrial and railroad is
sues took on some of the weakness
displayed in the market for stocks,
declining fractionally. Trading in
these groups was somewhat more
active, but the increase was by no
means in proportion to that in the
government issues Goodyear tire and
rubber IS reacted almost half point
to 99A.
