DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL NOTES
A. H. BRUNELLE, Principal
The "Tom Thumb Wedding ' and
"Fairies of Today" were cry pleas
ingly presented last Wednesday ly
the pupils it the lust and second
grades. The J ist production was n
clever parody on the 'real thing.'
The high contracting parties, to bo
"joined in the bonds "' padlock"
were Tom Thumb and I emtio Jones,
played by Fred Foley and Frances
Mahon. The ushers, attired in excit
ing dress, gravely ushered in tho
guests. The ushers were Eldon Mor
ris and Charles Mahon; other parts
included three bridesmaids i Mar gar
ot Bargman, Ruth Graham and Lou
ise Lowe), flower girls (louiso J'elr
and Grace Hannah), tho maid f hon
or (Molina Circo) tho father and
mother (Paul Cllnkonbenrd and Dor
othy Learner) and tho minister.- The
last part was played by Prank For
test, who was drafted front another
room to add dignity to tho 'performance.
"Fairies of Today" represented tho
fairies first at school, then nt their
graduation when tho commencement
address and diplomas woro given by
Dr. Knowitalt (Dorothy Learner), nnd
finally a scene showing the f.tinos at
work. Here, in the depths of the
forest, tho fairies by their kind of
fces re-united a prlncesj (Frances
Mahon)" and her lover princo (Fred
Foley). Tho Teacher ol the fairies
was played by Florence liederlck;
the parts of the fairies wore taken
by Louiso Lowe, Margaret Glesc,
Ruth Grahatn.Jlolen Maney, Crotchcn
West, Vivian Hannah, Margaret
Bargman, Dorothy r'ueston, Louise
-m'eir and Helen O&tmcyor. These
Uttle girls m.tdo , winsome appear
ance in their d.iinty white Dsttinies
end with their eracoful pantomime.
Only one Who h.-.s e icrienced tt,
can appreciate the o rt necessary
to put on till sort of u performance
with such young pupils to work with.
Miss Bierman here, as in her regular
school work, showed herself n master
hand in dealing with children of the,
primary grades.
Playing South Sioux City in an ck-tra-schedule
ganio last Wednesday,
the Dakota City baxeball tcoii again
triumphed over then' rivals. While
the first game played was aslugfest,
this ono was in marked contrast, be
ing a tight pitchers battle between
Frederick of Dakota City and Thnck
er of South Sioux City. Dakota
City's runs were well-scattered, com
ing in the first, seventh nnd ninth
innings. South Sioax City was hold
scoreless until the ninth, when things
started to happen. Metz, hrst up
for iiouth bioux City, got n hit;
Thacker then got his second hit for
tho game, advancing Metz; Miller
sacrificed, scoring IhacKcr, Mat?, hud
already crossed tho hamo plate, mid
things began to look Imd when Clair
and Krogh, next ui, drew passes.
Brown came up, managed to got to
first, and thus fi'Icd the bases with
only one out. Yoder knocked an
easy My to Frederick, who doubled to
first and caught Brown napping, and
saved the game. Frede ick showed
great form in all but tho final in
ning, striking out twelve men to
Thacker's eleven. .Both pitchers
fiolded their positions well.

Lutheran Chinch Notes
By Rov C. It. Lowe.
Thero was a chango in tho regular
program last Sunday which was very
welcome. Thero was no rain and
thero was preaching service. Wo
wero suro if wo kept tit) tho watch
ing thero would bo a day when wo
could got out. That io tho way it
is with the Christian life all tho time.
"Somo days must bo dark and drea
ry," but thero will bo sunshine. If
thero is a falluro tho first attempt
or tho hundredth, do not glvo up.
Tho farmers are not completely dis
pairing yet ns to tho crop, they ar.o
waiting ns putiently as they can for
their getting into tho field, and when
they can, boliovo mo there will be
no getting them out. What a won
derful thing it would bo if a man
run his religion that way. Trials nnd
tribulations, yes, worry through them
with faith in -God, rolying on his
graco and 'strength, and when tho
storms are past, got down to tho
business of righteousness as though
your Hfo doponded on it, and it does.
lhon there would bo less stumbling
in tho Way. It would make you
strong nnd thero would Jjo more
peace to you in tho efibrt. All that
would mako you successful in tho re
ligious life.
It will bo Children's Day tho .sec
ond Sunday in June, nnd that will
bo hero before you know It. It will
be, well for us to look ahead for that
time and got tho program undor
headway, il wo are to havo any.
We havo some new music 'or tho
choir, and when tho roads get so we
can hpend the night out at that sort
of work wo .vill get at it.
It will not bo but a short time till
wo will lie after Iho catechism class,
ana it will bo a good thing if tho
parents will look to this for their
children, for If the parents aro in
terusted,, it Is very likoly the young
folks will bo too.
