War. Ever since he suffered that
hardship connected with the life Of a
soldier he has had some trouble with
one of his ears. For that reason he
consulted specialists at the Veteran
Hospital at Helena. He has spent
most of the winter at the hospital. He
has improved some by his stay and
treatment received there and we hope
that he will continue to improve. We
are glad to see him with us again.
The people Of Westby, too, were
saddened to learn of the accident and
sudden death that befell DR.. Harry
j. Robb of Plentywood on Saturday,
the 9th. DR.. Robb had his friends
here also who extend sympathy to
the bereaved family.
The Oratorical and Declamatory
contest held in the City Orpheum
on Wednesday evening, the 18th, was
largely attended and very much en-
joyed.
Some of our young ladies and high
school students proved to be endowed
with considerable oratorical ability
and talent. Miss Minnie Simonson of
Daneville won the honor of receiving
the first prize in the oratorical group
and Miss Helen Larsen in the decla-
matory group. Miss Helen Hultgren
won second. The other contestants
were Linda Ness, Clarice Thon, Alpha
Anhalt, Mildred Morrison, Clarice
Rice and Alta Johnson. They all did
real well. The special entertainment
given by Mildred Spoklie, Marjorie
Enges and Hulda Haugan took we'll
with the audience and was a good
mixture in the entertainment.
The judges were: Miss Ethel Sing
Teton of Plentywood, our county su-
perintendent and Prof. Henry A.
Raaen of Comertown, the school
principal there. The judges were
fair in their decision and won the APP
proval of many in the audience.
Miss Alice Grover deserves consid-
cradle credit and appreciation for the
success attained.
Misses Minnie Simonson and Helen
larson will represent the Westby
High School in the district contest
some time in the nea future. We
hope that they will return to West
by with the silver cup.
Where are the orators among the
boys and young men of u school?
We failed to see them appear on the
program and we missed them. Come
on boys and show your colors.
Prof. Friesleben went to Ambrose
on Sunday forenoon the 10th and re-
turned home again on Friday morn

was receiving special care and medi-

a carbuncle on his nose. The trouble
is over and the Professor is as active
as ever with his school work. 1t is
hard for him to be idle as he is a
very active and ambitious man.
