CHAPEL EXERCISES
ARE SUMMARIZED

In Tuesday mornings chapel exer-
cises, DR.. G. E. Allen again reminded
US of the help we can render this in
stitution by getting word, directly
or Indirectly, to the legislators now
in session at Bismarck. Our great
need of gymnasium is very evident,
and it is for the interest of every
member of the school that we receive
an appropriation enabling US to have
one.
Miss Amidon announced that Clar-
ence Eddy, acknowledged to be
among the greatest Of artists on the
pipe organ, would play for us on
Tuesday evening at the Congregation
al Church. Her brief resume of the
development Of the wonderful pipe
organ Of today from the crude "Pipes
O. Pan" was very interesting and
proved to be an incentive to many to
hear this great artist perform.
President Allen made few remarks
concerning the game played against
the Moorhead Normal last Monday
evening. He said that the reason the
v. c. N. team did not play SO well in
the first half as in the second was that
they were like generator and worked
best when warmed up" Captain
Gunderson said, thirteen seems to be
the unlucky number for Moorhead but
not for u.s.

ENJOYED ARTIST
AND FOLK DANCING

At the beginning of the chapel per-
led Thursday President Allen read the
following letter written by Lincoln.
It has been cast in bronze and placed
on one of the inner halls of a great
university in England as an example
Of purest English diction.
Letter to Mrs. Bixby
Washington, November FL, 1864.
Dear Madam: l have been shown
in the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant- General
of Massachusetts, that you are the
mother of five sons. who have died
gloriously on the field of battle. l feel
how weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should attempt
Ito beguile you from the grief of a
loss SO overwhelming. But cannot
refrain from rendering to you the con-
ISOLATION that may be found in the
thanks of the Republic they died to
save. I pray that our Heavenly Faith
er may assuage the anguish Of your
bereavement and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours to have laid so costly a sac
rifce upon the altar Of freedom.
We were next entertained by two ex-
cellent violin selections played by
Dean Froysaa. The selections which
he played with his usual power of
Interpretation were "Legende" by
Wieniawski and "Polonaise" by Vieux-
temps. ... !
Miss Noll and Lillian Ford, dressed
in costume, gave Dutch Dance.
These two numbers were very much
enjoyed and greatly appreciated by
everyone. .-..-.-.
Mr.. Spalding reminded us Of the
Wahpeton Science School game Satur-
day night and said that we could ex-
pect a good game of basketball.

WANT DUTY
FREE Lumber

State organization petitions Y. >
Farm Bureau to act on tariff. That
as an aid to building, no duty shoulc
be imposed on lumber is the belief OF
the members of the executive commit
tee of the North Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation, who have adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has been called to the
attention of the North Dakota Farm
Bureau through testimony given be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
of the National House of Representa-.
tives that lumber can be manufactured
cheaper in the United States than in
Canada; and
Whereas, the housing situation in
the cities of this country is becoming
acute; and
Whereas, Farm building is far be:
hind and farmers are going to need
immense quantities of lumber during
the next three or four years; and
Whereas, The tremendous amount
of lumber needed for all purposes in
the next few years will make a serious
drain on our forest reservations and
endangere the conservation of future
material; and
Whereas, A tariff duty will simply
increase the cost of these necessary
improvements and delay the construc-
ton:
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
North Farm Bureau that they petition
the American Farm Bureau to use its
good offices through it's representatives
at Washington, D. c., to present the
matter contained in these resolutions
to the Ways and Means Committees
of the House and Senate of our Ma
tional Congress and that we urge said
representatives to use every effort to
prevent our National Congress from
imposing duty on lumber.
