After the debate a vote of the
students was taken on- the proposi
tion itself which resulted in 14 for
and 18 against it.
It is being planned that several

remainder of the year;
the seniors are working on ora

mencement time.
Botany, physical geography, phy
siology and American latin were in

Regular basket ball practice- is be
ing conducted at noon and after
school. Itis necessary that the boys'
team practice until 4 p. m., after
which time the girls use the room
for a short time. Students who are
not required to go immediately h ome
after school are permitted to play
under the direction of myself. It
happens, however, that students
sometimes stay who are required by
parents to be home 'early and it is
not the intention of the school to
keep such pupils at all. Please let
me know if you do not wish your
boy or girl to play basket ball after
school and I shall cooperate with
you.
The girls have organized two
basket ball teams and expect to have
some really interesting games among
themselves.
Gerald Hall was elected captain of
the boys' first team. He proves
himself an efficient leader by throw
ing some good baskets. We are ex
pecting to do some creditable work
during the year. Several games are
being scheduled, the first at Emer
son this Saturday night. Games
will be played on our home floor as
often as away. The lineup for the
Emerson game will likely bo as fol
lows: center, Charlie Schmidt;
right forward, George Bierman;
left forward, Itaymond Ree.m; right
guard, Gerald Hall; left guard,
Dewey Heikes.

Lutheran Church Notes
PAKOTA CITY-SALKM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
Last Sunday was the worst Sunday
of the winter, perhaps the worst day
we have had so far, much snow and
lots of blow all the day. But then
there were eight people at Salem Sun
day school. Wonder who they were
who would go out in the storm?
Here they are: Mr. Culbertson and
Joe, Emery and Celia Bobier, John,
Emmet and Edith Bridenbaugh, and
the pastor. While we are not sur
prised that there were not more
present, all cannot but express specr
ial appreciation of thoelTortof those
who were present. It is to bo hoped
we will have no more such stormy
Sundays this winter. The few of us
had the study of tho Sunday school
lesson anyhow.
At Emmanuel, since almost all of
the Sunday school scholars are little
folks, wo did not try to have any
school, and the night brought forth
nothing but inclemency, so we did
not attempt to have any preaching
service.
We wish to announce to our Ho
mer friends that there will be the
celebration of the Holy Communion
at Homer the first Sunday in Febru
ary, the 4th. The benevolence en
velopes will be sent out to the mem
bership. It is desired that there be
a large attendance, since there was
no fall communion service.
Several of the ladies of Emmanuel
church are planning to give a musi
cal and serve a fifteen cent luncheon
at the parsonage next Saturday, Jan
uary 27, at 2:30 p. m. This is a
Ladies' Aid luncheon, and all friends
are cordially invited.
The Salem Ladif ..' society will
meet this week Thursday at the
home of Mrs Alice Sides at South
Sioux City. The entertainment
committee is Mrs. II. E. Brown,
Mrs. W. P. Wilson, Mrs. T. W. drib
ble, and Mrs. Alice Sides. If you
are looking for a good time, you
surely will have it here.
What a comfort is the Word of
God. The man who loves it can take
it up when he is perplexed and wor
ried with the things of this world
and as he reads it 'twill be as a
soothing balm to his troubled spirit.
He may not forget his difficulties
but his load will he materially light
ened. How much of life is care and
anxiety. Our life is like a troubled
sea casting up mire and dirt. And
in it how good it is to have a com
forting power to soothe our spirits.
And what this consolation is to the
grief stricken no one can tell who
hasnotexperiencedit. A fertile spot
in the desert is an hour spent in the
reading and study of God's word.
We know many do not find this de
light in it, but the reason is that
they do not give themselves to the
.reading only very occasionally. If a
man will indulge in some violent ex
ercise which he is not accustomed to
he will feel sore and stifF very short
ly, but if he accustoms his muscles
to it ho will enjoy a bit of that vio
lent exercise. So it is with the use
of the Word. Out of a newspaper
J diet into a bible diet is too great a
change to be fully appreciated. No
one takes feeders off of green alfal
fa and puts them on a purely corn
ration. We must grow into this ap
preciation. Many do not give them
selves a chance to grow.
The word is a comfort, too, to
many who are not christian people.
It is probably more difficult to ob
serve the finer degrees of this com
fort but it is manifest in its ex
tremes. When men are stricken with
grief they seek the comfort of the
gospel. It warms their heart, too,
and takes away the sting of their
sorrow.
Why should wo lose these good
tilings of life? Our life is measur
ed by the things we enjoy rather
than by the many we can make
and never enjoy. A poet says we
live in deeds not in figures on a dial.
And since the Word helps us live a
better life and to enjoy the living
better what a pity it is that so many
people ignore it. Patrick Henry was
a great man and busy to the end of
his life, and his last words had to do
with American Independence but
with regret that he had not taken
time to read the bible. Why have
the same regrets. You have a chance
to be different.
Farm Profits
Do favorable or unfavorable cli
matic conditions determine them?
Yes, but more often the proper ap
plication or misapplication of gener
ally recognized farming principles
evolved by successful farmers and
breeders and the government expe
riment stations: Farmer and Breed
er is a compendium ot tne nest meas
and successful methods employed by
successful farmers and breeders.
It is issued semi-monthly at Sioux
City, la., and deals with farming
conditions as they are here found.
Its subject matter is strong and ap
petls both to the farmer and stock
man. You want to farm profitably
every inteligent farmer does.
Farmer and Breeder will help you
to do this and more too.
Splendid Offer
Special arrangements have been
made which enable us to offer Farm
er and Breeder am Tho Herald both
for one year for only if 1.00. Save
money by letting us have your sub
