Ninety pound exhibits outweig.`—ed their owners quite

of many a 411 clubber. Animal

nounced the "winnah"s of
three divisions, beef, sheep,
and hogs. Silent expressions
expanded the chests of some
and dropped the heads of
others.
The personal element grew
until the crowded bleacherites
were almost unaware of the
quality and bloom manifested
in the largest stock show in the his- tory of state institutes here. Onlookers saw the boy and the girl—
future farmers and farmers wives
of North Dakota—and perhaps potential students of NDSC. The
manicure and hairdress of the 79
exhibi's was only secondary to the
showmanship and confidence shown
on the faces of owners and interested members and chaperones. The
blue, red, and green ribbons were
placed on the backs of the animals
but immediately found their place
in the pockets of proud winners.
Girl Sheep Winner
Helen Sorenson of Kathryn, with
a purebred Southdown lamb, won
the grand championship in that class,
the fourth time in 11 years that
members of the Sorenson family
have shown the champion in contests here. Frank and Roy Sorenscri, former winners, are senior and
sophomore students, respectively, at
the college. Other grand championship winners were: beef cattle,
Arvin Willert, of Page, Cass county,
with a purebred Angus; and hogs,
Myron Manthei of Leonard, Cass
county, with a crossbred Hamphirespotted Poland China.
Judges of the show were E. J.
Thompson, Victor Sander, Albert
Severson and J. D. Gannaway of the
college animal husbandry department. Supervisor of the show was
George J. Baker, extension animal
husbandman of the college.
Mathson First
Other first and second place winners in the livestock show by breeds

`Most Representative' Of 4H
Groups End Campus Visit
North Dakota Agricultural college today bids goodby to a group of people who exemplify the highest type
of young womanhood and manhood. The 4H club
achievement institute held here annually at this time
and concluding its 27th yearly meeting today, is composed of groups of serious boys and girls who are gaining experience in their vocation and having fun doing it.
From the ranks of these 4Hers, NDAC, North Dakota's own vocational school, annually draws many and
some of its best students. To delegates to this year's
meeting, which has earned the title, "most representative," because of the selective method used in choosing
them, the school again offers them an invitation to
enroll here when time comes for them to begin college.
Delegates to the 4H institute, local students have
enjoyed having you here and we hope you have enjoyed
your visit.

Win Fourth Time
In Sheep Division
Winning of the grand championship in the sheep division by Helen
Sorenson of Kathryn, Barnes county,
marks the fourth time the Sorenson
family has won this championshp in
the 11 years the 4-H shows have
been held at the college in connection with Achievement Institute.
Frank Sorenson, who is now a
senior at the NDAC, took the grand
championship placing cn sheep in
both 1928 and 1929, the second winning thereby disqualifying him for
further competition in sheep. In
1930, Roy Sorenson, who is now a
freshman at the NDAC, exhibited
the grand championship lamb.
Helen is 17 years old and is a
senior in high school. She is a member cf the Hastings Livestock club,
of which there are 16 members. Four
members of the Sorenson family are
active in this club, and three of
them are girls.
Sheep production is a family affair with the Sorensons, the flock of

the various members of the family.

state's outstanding 4-H club
members and leaders after
their 27th institute. The curtain will fall on a week of activity on the campus in which
the best have met the best
and the worst has been remedied.
Broadening experiences of
winning and losing, recognition for the highest caliber of
work, five days packed with
competitive excitement, that
is the greatest achievement.
While inspired young people return to every corner of the state,
every corner of the campus will
await their return, either as better
club members next year or, perhaps,
students of North Dakota State.

THIS SOUNDS OMINOUS AND
is probably dangerous to write about when so many
campus personalities have frayed nerves, but it re-
flects the psychological reaction of students after a
quarter of study and intensive campus activity,
brought to a climax with a week of examinationgiving saddled on the student body by instructors who
attach too much importance in themselves. Bitterness thus engendered becomes so mountainous that,
I say, "Thank God, for vacation!"

Chinning myself on the icy gutter I pulled my
dishevelled person to a sitting posture, then
draped myself around a friendly fire-plug. Finally, with my brains still deployed in higgledypiggledy formation I staggered for Sloppy Joe's.
Reaching the bar I ordered a Scotch whiskey and
a soda with fumes. I ordered it because I like
Scotch whiskey, especially with fumes. Immediately, my foot, the one with St. Vitus dance, became sentimentally attached to the brass rail. I
began to have more good, clean realistic fun than
a barrel of earthworms on a slumming party.
Liquor was still a novelty in Fargo and so
many healths had been drunk that folks were
nauseatingly flipping coins to decide whether they
should pass unobtrusively down the drain out to
the new sewage disposal plant or order a rugged
bowl of chili and head for the beautiful evergreen shore. Headaches were as prevalent as
false teeth at a Townsend rally.
A bootlegger stealthily crawled in the rear
entrance and slipped a bottle of coca cola to Dan
the Dope on the slide. He was a devilish, snakylooking fellow—sort of a combination of Ward
Redmond, Albert Hinkle and Bill Murphy; plus a
dash of Mayo. The old Nick was right in him. In
fact, comparatively speaking, The Devil Was a
Sissy . . . . Get the picture?
A man two pretzel bowls down from me was
three sheets, two comforters, one sleeping bag
and a patchwork quilt to the wind. Evidently he
had recently been bitten by a snake. I gleaned
as much, for he was rinsing his esophagus with
successive straight whiskies.
VACATION-TIME DIVERSION,
whether it be visiting at home or taking trips, should
effect a cure for these nervous temperaments. Instructors will start their work with more tolerant
attitude because they have a whole term ahead for
work and students will be rested and enthusiastic
about studies, we hope.

THEME OF THE MONTH
By THE BOYS
(Ed. Note: This conglomerate collaboration of sev-
eral of the Staff's ego-maniacs is undoubtedly the
theme of the month, Ruth Piper's kerning at the
mouth notwithstanding. The authors have basked in
the intellectual sunshine of the sharpest English minds
on the campus. Our editorial staff even considered
the opus good material for the Pulitzer prize for putridity. This gravy spot on the necktie of literature
has everything: characters, suspense, pathos, tragedy,
comedy, plot development, description and stuff. it
is a theme to end themes of the week, to end sewer
system of journalism.)

Twas the night before Christmas, and all
through the penthouse atop the Old Black building, not a creature was stirring—a fine howdoyoudo!
With my one good eye I squinted down on the
streets of Fargo, also known as Harlem, N. D. An
occasional galvanized Negro slogged by in his
four-buckles. The town was snoring, as usuaL
Languidly I turned back from the window,
dipping my glass into the punch bowl. The goldfish got in the way. It was disgustipating, I thot.
Fished again!
Cursing five unprintable names I snapped off
Lam Huskins, who was blatting over a national
hiccup, slammed my way through the door,
thumbed the elevator and stumbled down eight
flights of stairs just for spite. I was as restless as
a flag-pole sitter in Bombay during an Eagles
convention.
Down to Sloppy Joe's night club I ran, ippertylipperty-lip, as fast as my ossified bunion would
carry me. While lipperty-ing across the Street
Without a Number which runs past the Store
Without a Name I almost did a double back jackknife trying to avoid Alice Daffy, who was brusquely worming her way down to the cheek-tocheekers at the Avulung Ballroom. But too late;
everything went black, like a Lennox avenue
jam session—and I don't mean blackberry.
Like in the celluloids, true to form, my whole
insipid life unfolded before me.

A. little street oichin sidled up the bar and tried to
buttonhole me. I winced. Said he, "Father, come
home now; mother lies dead under the table and sister
is crying in her bier." I gave him a curse dismissal
for I knew the little tike had made a mistake. My
name is not Max Baer, and besides, my mathematical
calculations are always par excellence.
The drama unfolded like two old maids in a collapsible couch. Two steins and a peanut machine

As I grabbed four free lunches and lurched for the

I finally circulated through the door, quicker than
a tongue-tied Hill Billy can say Leopold Stokowski.
I reached my penthouse just as the clock was kicking
the gong around 12. It was midnight—Santa Claus
time. Whoops, my dears.
Turning off all lights except the itsy-bitsy red ones
on the Christmas tree, I secreted myself near the false
fireplace behind a shock of mistle-toe, waiting for the
big cloak-and-suit man from the North.

Who's Winning
The Arms Race?
Americans may well be staggered
by the amounts of the people's
money that other governments are
spending — not for better schools,
safer streets, houses for the poor,
food for the famished, though they
do, of course, spend something on
all these. But sums that stagger the
American imagination are those other
countries spend for murderous machines whose only purpose can be to
destroy, or threaten destruction to,
other peoples' home sand lives and
happiness.
Of course, having looked at these
sums a time or two, the average
thoughtful American realizes that
his emotional responses to the figures vary. One inspires alarm, another irritation or sympathy. It depends on the country. Here's the
way reactions might run:
Germany — Understandable after
Versailles, but . .
France—Jitters.
Italy—Oh, that Mussolini! Shocking!
Great Britain—Regrettable.
Japan—A menace!
All right, all right, as Major Bowes
of the radio amateur hour would
soothingly say. But in that case the
United States must be awarded two
"buts." It should be credited with
more jitters than France. Shocking? double Mussolini. Regrets?
one and a half times those for Britain. And Americans are two and
a half menaces!
No. Nobody's calling anybody
anything. That's just the way cold
figures read when one looks at all
of them—including those for the
United States—and manages to be
momentarily impartial in his sentimental reactions.
The United States in the last six
years has spent more than any other
country for arms — $3,973,000,000.
And in 1935 when Europe's arms
race was hitting a new stride, American expenditures on arms still
were well in excess of those cf any
other nation. The ratios of that excess are indicated above.
The statistics come from a report
issued by the unquestionably patriotic and undoubtedly accurate New
York Trust Company. — Christian
Science Monitor.
If the mere delay of hope deferred
makes the heart sick, what will the
death of hope—its final and total
disappointment—despair, do to it?—

Alpha Gamma Delta.—The Misses
Alvira Smith and Christine Finlayson entertained the chapter Monday
evening to a Christmas buffet supper. Mrs. Weiser was the guest
dered. What has happened to Old Saint Nick, I
asked myself. No one answered. Everything
seemed jumbled to me. What makes Santa Claus
go, I contemplated. Well, WHAT MAKES FARGO GO? There was a thought. Lorne Wilde at
the Fargo Forum would know.
I called 1000. I called for Wilde. Finally, the
Call of the Wild came humming over the wires,
clear and strong like a bowl of split pea soup,
"Hello, stranger."
"Hello, Wilde," I said, "I have some problems.
What makes Fargo go? What makes Santa Claus
go? He hasn't shown up yet."
"Well," said Wilde, "the green lights make
Fargo go. Didn't you know? And about Santa,
you've probably too many red lights on your tree.
Santa is driving a new Lincoln-Zephyr (ad). He
never goes through on a red light."
So that was it, huh? What an awful letdown.
Sorry we had to fizzle out like this, but that's the
way Christmas generally ends. It's just a pain in
the neck. Merry Christmas, folks!

Essay Winners To
Get New York Trip
"Does New York Represent the
American Scenes?" is a question the
Panhellenic house association of New
York, of which Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn is president, asks in its third
annual essay contest for college
undergraduates, announcement of
which is being made currently in
1200 colleges and universities in this
country and Canada.
For the past two years, the first
prize of $100 and a two weeks' allexpense visit in New York city has
been won by students who had
never before seen New York.
Second and third prizes will include
cash awards of $25 and $15 respecltively, and an all-expense stay of
one week in New York. In additios, 15 honorable mention awards
will be published.
The Panhellenic house association,
according to Mrs. Hepburn, conducts
this essay contest among college
undergraduates who are interested
in literary achievement and a possible career in a large city.
A choice of one of three distinct
titles is offered in the contest this
year: "Does New York Represent
the American Scene?", "Is New York
a Vital Part of My Culture?", or "Is
New York a Place to Launch a
Career?" The essay must be limited to 1,000 words, and must be sent
to the Panhellenic association contest office, Beekman Tower Hotel, 3
Mitchell Place, New York City, before March 31, 1937.
An entry blank, obtained from the
contest office, must accompany each
essay. The first prize winner in the
second annual essay contest, in
which there were more than 700 entries from more than 300 colleges
add universities, was a Montana girl
from Intermountain Union college.
Princeton university's faculty
wrote 18 books, 113 reviews, and 326
articles during the academic year
1935-'36.
Editor's Note: — This theme
was written by Thad Fuller of
Fargo for E. L. Mayo's freshman
English section.
BILL
Bill is back in town. He's dressed
in a new, checked, gray and green
suit, the latest style. His shoes are
shined. He wears gray spats with
white buttons on them. His tie
matches the green hat cocked over
his ear. Bill lifts his new, shining
shoes in a proud, smart looking
rhythm as he struts down main
street. Bill has changed.
Bill always was a good baseball
player. He was the best second
baseman I or any other citizen of
Marsburo had ever seen. I guess he
liked to play 'cause he seemed more
at home kicking up dust on the diamond than any other place in town,
except maybe at the beer parlor.
Evert/one used to turn out to the
games just to watch Bill perform.
The pants he wore had been donated to him by Mayor Frederickson
four years ago. They hadn't been
washed since. He wore an orange
sweat shirt and a greasy-gray baseball cap. He would spit tobacco out
of one corner of his mouth and yell
out of the other. He'd adjust his
cap, pull up his pants, tighten his
belt, spit in his glove, and, plodding
through the dust, scoop up the ball
and fling it down to the first baseman. Bill was a good batter. That
was the reason he was clean-up
man on the team.
He would get up from the bench
and shove his feet, one ahead of the
other, up to the batter's box, leaving
a cloud of dust behind him. He
would take off his hat and brush
the dust off the home plate with it
so that the umpire could see to call
strikes. Then he'd put the hat back
cn his head, bury his right foot in
a hole near the plate, ease his left
foot forward and smash the ball
over the fence. With the same nonchalance he'd shuffle around the
bases forahome-run.
The fact that Bill was a good
baseball player either had something to do with his being a good
pheasant hunter, or vice versa.
Pheasant hunting is a pretty dusty
sport and so is baseball. Well, Bill
liked to get his feet, legs, neck, and
ears covered with dust. He never
tired of trudging across plowed
fields or traipsing through Russian
thistles chasing a winged pehasant.
He always wore the oldest clothes
he could find just the same as he
did in baseball.
It has been two years since he left
Marsburo to play in the major
leagues. Bill came out to the diamond yesterday to show the local
boys how big league baseball is
played. He had a new uniform and
clean hat. Bill didn't perform as he
used to. The folks were disappointed. Yes, sir, Bill's changed. He is
in the major leagues and is used to
playing on grass diamonds. The big
league players have a clean uniform
every game and Bill doesn't like
dust any more.

Freshmen Win In
Debate Contest
Two freshmen, Roger Toussaint
and George Sorlie, won the interclass debate tournament last Friday.
Opposing them was Donald Erickson, sophomore, and one freshman,
Richard Hoag.
Miss Vivian Luther, speech instructor, was judge, and personal
ratings were the basis for choosing
the winner rather than team averages.
Next event on the forensic program will be an intercollegiate debate with Concordia college and
Moorhead State Teachers college in
February, announced Miss Luther.

Senior staff will sponsor the dance

KLAUSS NAMED
The secret recipe again traditionally introduced a new member into
Edwin Booth dramatic club. Handed
down from Queen Victoria, this recipe has been used by Mrs. Jenny
Southern to prepare plum pudding
for Edwin Booth initiations for
years. Last Sunday in the Lincoln
log cabin, Fern Loberg was initiated
and honored at the traditional cold
turkey, plum pudding dinner. Fargo alumni of Edwin Booth were
guests.
Initiation ceremonies followed the
21st annual Christmas festival. Enhanced by' typical "Arvoldian"
touches, this year's festival was exceptional in its presentation of the
Joseph King doll collection. Mrs.
King remained in Fargo this week
and entertained many school children and visitors with her exhibition of imported and native dolls.
Included on last Sunday's program was Dickens's "Cricket on the
Hearth," the Mason's Marionette
theater, and the girls' glee club. A
social hour followed the program.

BAFFLING BAGGAGE
New York. — (ACP) — That local
college authorities are the proper
agencies to act in abolishing the
"Hell Week" of fraternity "horse
play and hazing" was decided in a
resolution adopted unanimously by
the National Interfraternity Conference at its 28th annual session.
Although the national fraternity
body now places the initiative in the
hands of college officials, it pledges
its cooperation in eliminating these
practices.
The resolution took cognizance of
an "evident trend" of students to
minimize hazing and to use "less
sophomore and more mature procedures" in the pre-initiatory "Hell
Week." It lauded colleges which
have already made efforts to do
away with hazing in fraternity circles.
The resolution recommended to
each conference member support of
measures to abolish "Hell Week"
taken by any college "to the end
that the fraternities may thereby be
dignified both in essence and in public estimation and may better play
their part of cooperation with the
colleges in furhering their common
purposes."
Students at Ohio State university
were charged 21 cents apiece to vote
by absentee ballot. The total cost
of voting by mail was $175.
