D. 0. R. Plan for
Big Bazaar at
Lutheran Church
To Be Held December 3
Every girl that is a member in the
organization of the Daughters of the
Reformation is now giving much of
her time and initiative toward mak-ing
the bazaar which is to be given
December 3 in the Lutheran church,
a success. The D.O.R. bazaar is an
annual affair of the organization and
the greater part of the proceeds us-ually
amounting to about $250 is used
in the interest of furthering some
missionary or church activity. It will
be remembered that last year a
"Thanksgiving bazaar" was portrayed
and carried out as much as possible.
Many features have been planned and
capable girls have been given the
responsibility of making each one a
success.
The supper is an aspiring enter-prise
for the D.O.R. girls. It has
been said that "civilized man cannot ,
live without cooks," and what person
is there that does not enjoy, a deli-cious
and appetizing meal? The menu
committee with Myrtle Torberson as
chairman has made out- -a menu- for a
bountiful supper. Come and enjoy it.
Probably the thing that requires
the most preserverence to Put over
successfully will he the sale of hand-made
articles. In this undertaking
every member of the D.O.R. can do a
great deal if she does her own part.
It is well known that the D.O.R. girls
have turned out beautiful work before
and it is certain that this year, too,
there will be an attractive and a var-ied
line in the hand-made;. *articles.
This will be a time when everyone
will be looking for Christmas gifts.
Here you will find .every : article;,an
appropriate gift. 'Show your appre-ciation
for the work being done by the
girls and patronize them.
Many girls have been engaged to
paint Christmas cards for the booth
at the bazaar. A very good selection
has been made of these cards and it is
hoped that many will take advantage
of this opportunity to make- many
hearts happy during the.- Christmas

The Carnival
To Raise Money for A. A. Annual
After deciding to put out an annual,
the big problem that confronts the
staff is to raise enough funds to make
it a success and to accomplish this we
need the whole-hartted support • of
every student, alumni and the whole
community.
On December 10, the Academy is
going to stage a Carnival which will
be one of the best ever put on in Can-ton.
We are arranging some of the
best attractions you ever saw. If
you miss the one-act farce and the
minstrel show you are missing two
of the biggest features that the city
of Canton has had or will have the
opportunity of seeing for a long time.
Now don't get the idea that these
are the only attractions for it is far
from that. Every room in the main
building will be a scene of some very
cleverly worked out stunt which you
can't afford to miss.
Miss Muus and Miss Dahl were
shoppers at Sioux Falls on Monday.
Students Take Exams.
Second Terni Opens Monday, Nov. 29
With the first quarter of the school
year drawing to a close, students of
Augustana Academy will begin pre-paring
for final examinations to be
given the first part of Thanksgiving
week. The first quarter will end on
Wednesday noon, Nov. 24, when the
school will close for Thanksgiving va-cation.
Registration for the short
course, which is given annually, and
the second term will take place on
Monday, Nov. 29.
Through the short course, the Aca-demy
makes it possible for many stu-dents
who are unable to attend school
throughout the entire year to spend
at least twelve weeks in study. Among
the ourses offered are those of music,
agriculture, normal, commercial, and
domestic science.
The end ,of the first quarter will
also witness the end of the football
season. Hereafter the attention of
the sport enthusiasts will be' direct-
-ed ,toward basketball. It is hoped
that a'''number of games will be sched-uled
to be played on the home floor.
Within the next few days the de-bate
question of the N. L. C. A. Aca-demy
-Conference, of which the school
is a -member, will be announced.

book were begun at once. The staff

book of about ninety-six pages. Cno-siderable
correspondence has been
carried on with the Buckbee-Mears
Company of St. Paul, and the Will
Beach Printing Company of Sioux
Falls, and the greater part of the
printing and engraving will probably
be done by one of these companies.
The aim of those in charge of the
publishing of this annual is not to
print an extensive book, but to have

A strong school spirit for their
Alma Mater was shown by a number
of the Faculty on Friday, November
5, when they were preparing to leave
for Northfield, Minn., to attend Home-coming
• at St. Olaf College. There
were a few interesting incidents such
as losing the battery, discovering the
failure of the brakes to function, and
to find that at Inwood the engine con-tained
a so-called "brass band"; all of
which made the spirit grow stronger
and more tense. The trip on the
whole was very successful with the
exception of tire trouble out on the
open fields of Southern Minnesota,
where the wind was so cold that the
faculty were almost frozen in their
tracks. They all reported a very well
spent week-end and returned Monday
evening full of vigor to begin work
on Tuesday.
Miss Bertha Rorstad, History, Miss
Edith Hanson, and Miss Edna Johns-gaard,
both of the Music department,
Prof. Herbert Emmons, Athletic
Coach, Prof. Abner Haugen, Dean of
Men, and Mr. George Anderson, a
banker of Inwood, la., comprised the
party.

League Program Sunday evening at
the Lutheran church. Hilma •Hoken-stad

Earth." She discussed peace on
earth in three ways mentioned in the
Bible, peace in the harts of nian,
peace in the family, community and
neighborhood, and peace among na-tions.
Miss Elizabeth Muus of the aca-demy
faculty gave an inspiring talk
on th prsonal traits of St. Paul. The
first trait discussed was his courage.
He preached to everyone, everywhere',
and though he met with rebuke -he
never gave up.
Sympathy, another trait mentioned,
is shown in the words, "Rejoice with
them that rejoice- and weep with them
who weep." .
Among other traits mentioned were
humility, sincerity, tenderness, cour-tesy,
hopefulness, thankfulness and
finally praise, one of his loveliest
traits.
EXCHANGES
The state of peoples minds deter-mine
the way they will act under con-ditions.
Minds should not be filled
with fear, dread, or distaste for cer-tain
necessary duties, but should be
filled with eagerness and confidence.
An examination written when the
mind is in a state of fear or distaste
will shop ill effects of-those thoughts
Examinations should be written
with eagerness and confidence' so as
to bring out, without hindrance, the

School last Friday evening. Enter-tainment
was furnished by the Lar
Lchei' Duo. Miss Lacher gave some
beautiful musical selections on the
piano, clarinet, drum, bells, and sev-eral
other unusual musical instru-ments.

company accompanied Miss Larcher
at the piano and also played -several
selections on his Italian accordia:n.
A variety of entertainment was fur-nished
