The Board of Administration held a regular meeting at the Normal School on Wednesday of last week. They considered the budget for next year, received the president's report for the year just closing and considered 9ther matters of routine business. The Senior Classes have decided that their Memorial for this year will take the form of a piece of statuary for the building. The matter of se lection is being left in the hands of a committee. The fund for the Me morial included the proceeds of the class play and individual contribu tions from the members of the classes. Mr. and Mrs. L. O. McAfee are en tertaining the former's sister in their home for a two weeks visit. Miss Emma Lee McAfee is a teacher of Spanish in the High School at Tulsa, Okla. Miss Shirley D. Almy and the mem bers of the Fifth and Sixth Grades entertained themselves and the cadet teachers at a party in their room on Friday last. Roses and other wild flowers furnished the decorations.

The musical program for Friday evening of the Chautauqua at Velva was given by the music department under the direction of Mrs. Amy M. Simpson. It included the following numbers: At Dawning Cadman Mammy Loo Smith Girls' Octette Pianologue.-Why Don't You Ask Me The Lilac Tree Dorothy Whitson Over the Ocean Blue Petrie The Question Robinson Boys' Glee Club The Bright Rosy Morning-Old English Spring Gunberis Mixed Chorus For one of the closing Assemblies of the Normal School, the Home Eco nomics Department held a Fashion Show to display some of the work of the class in Sewing. Miss Eleanor C. Bryson, head of the department, in a brief talk explained the aims and conditions of the course offered in dressmaking during the spring term of twelve weeks. The aims were in general three in number, to acquire skill in the handling of equipment to learn how to dress appropriately to give opportunity for self expression in selection and modification of styles so that they might be adapted to each girl's individuality. The sewing room is equipped for 24 students, but 45 registered for the work, so the instructor gave every vacant period to the work that all might be accomodated. The course included the making of the following articles: 1. A try-out article, such as an apron or piece of lingerie. 2. A set of ten demonstration pieces to show fundamental processes, such as buton-holes, hemming, etc. 3. A gingham dress. 4. A dress of organdy or voile. 6. A hat. The average cost for materials to each girl in the class was $10.00. Most of the girls sewed for them selves but there were a number of garments made for others than those in the class. Several made dresses for their mothers, others for sisters. A number made their own graduating dresses for the Commencement sea son now at hand. All of the dresses are serviceable and beautiful and are being worn as occasions arise ap propriate to their use. Gingham dresses ranged in cost from $.94 to $1.50, the voiles and organdies from $4.50 to $5.00. Hats were made of organdy or of horse hair braid. The former cost on the average $1.50 and the latter $3.50. The largest individ ual budget.was $22.50, which included the following finished garments: 2 pieces of lingerie, 1 gingham dress, 1 voile and organdy dress 1 child's organdy dress 1 silk dress and 1 hat. The members of the class came on the stage in groups wearing dresses of different types. There were dis played: 1, gingham dresses 2, voile and organdy combination dresses 3, Dresses of linene or pongee 4, crisp organdies 5, combinations of organdy and ginghams 6, hats. The dresses and hats were all much admired and gave evidence of taste and skill in the sewing art. Not the least value of such a course is the fact that it enables a girl to dress tastefully and appropriately at a very moderate cost. The Misses Mary G. and Clara Rud entertained a group of faculty women and a few other friends at six o'clock dinner on Sunday evening at the Chocolate Shop. Table decorations were red roses. Covers were laid for twelve. The Misses Rud are leaving for their home in Fergus Falls this week where they will spend the sum mer. They will return in the fall to resume their duties in the Public School and Normal respectively. Mrs. L. H. Beeler and daughter Elizabeth returned to their home on Sunday, June 11th. Mrs. Beeler went east about three weeks ago to attend the Commencement of her daughter, who graduated from Western Col lege, Oxford, 0. She has also -visited a son and been a guest of friends in Chicago. This is Commencement Week at the Normal School. The various exercis es of the week have included, Senior Sermon, Class Play, President's Re ception, Class Day, Model School Pro motion Exercises and Normal School Commencement. School exercises will close for the term on Thursday noon.

Did you ever stop to think that the grain farmer has littler or nothing to say about the conditions of fanning which surround him From the wet, cold ground in the spring to the drouth and heat of summer, the hail, the hot winds, the bugs and the l'rost, he is at the mercy of the sea sons, the prey of the elements, the victim of chance. Sometimes he wins. More often he loses. But he never is in control of the conditions which surround him and his business. Success with him is a gamble, and we have been finding out of late years that the gambler's chance is a small one. The dairy farmer, however, as he gete his farm onto a dairy basis, lifts his business out of the realm of chance. He gradually comes to have the power to control, at least in some degree, the conditions which surround him and his business. lie is better able to capitalize his ability, his knowledge, his industry, and (o profit personally through their exercise. Success in dairying depends upon two things, both of which the farmer can control with much more certainty than he can control anything connected with the grain business. Those two things are (1) grading up the herd for better production, and (2) raising feed. There is little of the element of chance or luck in grading up herd. The farmer has it within his power to plan ahead and then to make his plans come true. It is a matter of study, intelligent effort and persistence. But note this:—If every one of these were to present in abundance they could not prevent a grain farmer losing everything in a hail storm, a drouth, a week of hot winds or a chinz bug raid. Raising feed has more of the element of chance than the work of grading up the herd, but the element of Extra Sizes 44 to 50 11 Stores istration Day for the Spring Term.

Corn for silage is a reason ably certain crop when there has bpen intelligent seed selection for early maturity and when the cultivation has been adequate. Clover and all'alla are crops in which not much chance is taken. They respond to proper eflnrt. The combination of corn, silage and alfalfa or clover make up the feed ration. The dairy farmer can grade up his cows and provide his season's feed, and laugh at the seasons and elements because through study and planning and ell'ort lie can beat them. Ilence the good business proposition of getting into dairying. Our community cannot get onto a dairy basis in month or a year. It is something we have to grow into, but we can grow into it fast when once we shirt and the ell'ort will pay nice dividends as we go along. There is no guesswork about this. There are hun dreds of dairy communities in Minnesota and Wiscon sin and everyone can testify to the truth of the busi ness certainty of the industry. Every such communi ty started from just as small beginnings as are those with which our community will start, and every one of them started from an original condition of grain farming. These dairy communities know nothing about crop failures and care less. The farmers there have long since ceased to worry about them. Tlicy have mas tered the conditions which surround their business and while the grain farmers, are accumulating mort gages, the farmors of dairy communities are building up deposits in the banks. Let's consider this matter of getting the farming of our community on a basis where the farmer, instead of being at the mercy of the elements, can exercise some measure of control over them.
