Harden Will Have
Annual Julefest
Wednesday Night
Local Lodgs of Sons of Norway Order
Is Planning Big Celebration on First
Duty of 1919—L. J. Siljan and ST.
Johnson to be Speakers.
Plans for the eighteenth annual
"Julefest" of the Varden lodge. Sons
of Norway order, are now practically
complete, according to an announce
ment made by the committee today.
The "Julefest" is a celebration of
Christmas as well as of New Year's,
and the true spirit of the holidays has
always been known to hold sway at
these annual Varden occasions.
A banquet will be served at the
lodge rooms, Knights of Pythias hall,
in the evening of New Year's day. and
A. G. Sorlie, president of the lodge,
will act as toastmaster. Principal
speakers will be L. J. Siljan, editor
of the Normanden, and Attorney
Sveinbjoern Johnson.
A musical program will be carried
out, and much of the time will be giv
en over to the traditional exchange
of old-time "Skroener," that favorite
exercise of raconteurs of which many
of the Varden members are experts.
Asocial hop will wind up the gath
ering which, according to the com
mittee, promises to be a huge success.
It was good news to the committee
that the ban on dancing' was removed
Saturday night, it was said today.
The committee in charge of the
"Julefest" program consists of Gunder
Running, Olaf Vaksvik, O. G. Glase
rud, J. Tangen and Louis Kleven.
FOREIGN MAILTS"
STILL SUBJECT TO
WAR CENSORSHIP
Local residents who find it neces
sary to maintain correspondence, busi
ness and private, with Norway, Swe
den and' Denmark, recently made at
tempts to find out exactly what is the
status of foreign mail in transit be
tween thei United States and Scan
dinavia. It was thought that the sign
ing of the armistice would result in
practically immediate lifting of the
censorship ban, but such hopes were
dispelled by a reply received from
the United States censorship bureau
it reads in part as follows:
"Mails originating in the United
States, with Norway, Denmark and
Sweden as their destination, are dis
patched via Great Britain and are
subject to British censorship."
The notice implies that the United
States mail censorship has been abol
ished, although official announcement
to that effect has not been made.
Mails from Scandinavian cities to
Grand Forks come through only a lit
tle faster than during the actual war
period this is explained by the fact
that all letters and newspapers have
to be opened and inspected in Eng
land. No parcel post connection be
tween the United States and Scan
dinavia has been reopened.

REGISTRATION

Enrollmeht First Morning
is Comparatively
Light.
Enrollment in the various colleges
of the university this morning was
comparatively light, the total number
of students registering up to noon to
day being thirty-four. University of
ficials look for an increased number
of registrations tomorrow, the second
day of registration, and it is probable
that there will be a number of stu
dents who will wait until after New
Year's to return to school.
The large number of girls making
application by mail for rooms in uni
versity residence halls and cottages
has made it necessary for university
officials to open the Rysgard cottage
as a dormitory cottage. The original
plan of the authorities was to reserve
the Rysgard cottage for hospital pur
poses, should it be needed but an
other house has been secured for this
purpose.
Professor David R. Jenkins, who
was recently appointed professor of
electrical engineering, arrived in the
city last night. Members of the

Are Generous With
Christmas Boxes
Director of Junior Membership Bu

Praise to School Children in County
For Their Activities.
A letter received from Helen Har
rison. director of the junior member
ship bureau of the northern Red Cross
division, at the office of county super
intendent of schools, expressed the
appreciation of the bureau, for the
work accomplished by the boys and
girls of the county schools.
In spite of the fact that so many of
the schools in this county have been
closed during the past term, a re
markable amount of work has been
done by the children, both for the
soldiers and the fire sufferers in
northern Minnesota. The allotment in
cluded scrap books for the soldiers,
refugee garments, knitted socks, for
the soldiers, work mittens to bo sent
overseas, and the boxes of Christmas
cheer for the sufferers in Minnesota.
In speaking of the work, M. Beat
rice Johnstone said that the children
have done just splendidly, and in al
most every instance have overfilled
their quota of supplies. Only thirty
boxes were asked for, and the number
turned in was sixty. It was requested
that each box contain a dollar's worth
of supplies, and, in many cases over
Ave dollars' worth of supplies were
contained in the boxes, so that more
than one box could be made up to
form one if it was so desired. Miss
Harrison speajts particularly qt the
last bit of service rendered by the
chapter school committee.s, in furnish
ing these Christmas boxes.

The plan is that three days before
the man is discharged, a card will be

from which the man comes. The
card is received by the local bureau
for returning soldiers, if one has been
established. If no bureau has been
established the card will be received
by the nearest United States employ
ment service office or community
labor board.
Home service workers may see the
cards at these offices and it is be
lieved that there will be many oc
casions when home service sections
will wish to avail themselves of this
information. This city will form a
bureau for returning soldiers which
will co-operate with the United States
employment bureau and thereby be
able to get better results. As yet no
definite plans have been made.
WILL EXHIBIT
N. D. POTTERY
IN BISMARCK
Dean Babcock In Capitol City to Ar
range Display of State Coal and
Clay In Museum—Pottery Shown at
Panama Exposition.
Dean E. J. Babcock, of the state
university school of mines, left last
week for Bismarck, to make arrange
ments for the display of pottery, made
in the ceramics department of the
university. The exhibit which will be
permanent at the state capitol, was
shown at the Panama Canal exposi
tion held in San Francisco in 1914.
The exhibit includes specimens of
the various coal compositions from
North Dakota beds, and the raw clay,
besides hundreds of pieces of clay
craft, in the line of pots, tiles and
stoneware that have been constructed
at the university in the ceramics de
partment. A great part of the exhibit
of pottery is the work of the univer
sity students, and the preparation of
the clay as well as the glaze com
pounds are the result of experimenta
tion in the department. The display
of the pottery at the exposition
aroused no little interest in the work
being done at the university.
The art of pottery draft is carried
on in only modest proportions now in
the ceramics department, but pieces
of genuine art hav„e been produced
under the direction of Miss Margaret
Cable, ceramics instructor. Besides
the display shown sk the exhibit,
Dean Babcock took with him a num
ber of pieces recently .produced. The
entire display contains specimens of
clay and clay work, coal and various
by-products.
Some folks have no time to think
because they talk too much.
