To this amount the Dakota Playmakers add $25.00 in the form of royalty for a performance by them or under their auspices, ‘ The prize was first awarded in 1923 and won by Dr. Carl Voss of Hettinger with a comedy entitled, “The Butter Scotch.” Last year an Indian play, “The Cry ,of Lone Eagle,” by Mrs. F. B. Fiske of Fort Yates was the winning contribution. The plays submitted for the Vold contest may be on any subject but in case of a close decision the jud- ges favor the play representing some phase of life in North Dakota oy the Northwest. Any resident of the state with the exception of those directly concerned with awarding the prize, is eligible to compete, Three prizes of $15, 10 and $5 are offered annually by J. A. Poppler of Grand Forks for the best dramatic sketches written by students in North Dakota high schools.

DEMAND FOR DIAMONDS IS INSATIABLE London, March 17.—There is no likelihood of diamonds becoming as cheap as colored beads, despite the recent prolific discoveries in South Africa, Gordon Nathan, a prominent diamond dealer, said recently to a re- porter of the Daily Graphic. “There never will be enough na- tional diamonds to satisfy the de- mands,” the speaker added. “Even if that mysterious syndicate 6f which we hear so much fulfilled its threat ‘and flooded the market today with $100,000,000 worth of diamonds, no lasting harm would be done. They would bé bought up in ten minutes; the trade would suffer a temporary} depression and the demand in a short{ time would be as keen as ever.” Judge Moonshine Maker, Is Charge Seattle, Wash. Mar. 17.—While Justice of Peace Robert Hunt of Issaquah, Washington, was not per- forming his duties on the bench, he was making moonshine with his son on their ranch, according to a com- plaint filed here by Deputy Sheriff Joe Harrahan and Robert Gibson, The deputies declared in the com- plaint they found the judge and his son making the illicit liquor and Mrs. Hant poured the contents of one jug of moonshine over Harrahan during the raid.

D., March 17.—All of} Fargo’s learned are not in the schools or professions. Patty, ori- ginally named Patricia, and culled “Pat”, for, short, a Boston Terri belonging to Prof. and Mrs. G Miller, of Fargo, is achieving a name about town, ss the “mathematics dog.” Pat can add, divide, multiply and! perform other feats that would make a mere office adding machine blush! for shame. i Mrs. Miller whose husband is a professor at the state agricultural college here, has taught the dog its business arithmetic, and now con- templates giving Pat a smattering of algebra or higher mathematics that may assist the young phenome- non to enter some office as a canine calculating machine. The dog, upon being asked how many feet she has, barks four times. When the eight-year-old Patty is| asked how many ears she has, sie barks twice, Then, af a tease, Mrs. Millers inquires: “Patty how many tails have you?” Such insults to her intelligence are not appreciated, and Pat shows] this decided lack of appreciation with | a sharp, peremptory bark—“Yipe!” | Any two simple numbers suggested | to Patty for a sum, will bring the correct number of barks. Likewise, she will subtract any two numbers.| At the end of each of these calcula-! tions Patricia gets a tiny piece of meat. According to Mrs, Miller, Patty must concehtrate for a few minutes before the arithmetic lessons begin, sitting in a chair, and looking direct- ly into her mistresses eyes for about thirty seconds. Following this period of hypnotism, or concentration, Patty has been known to add several bits of change that Mrs, Miller has had in her poc- ket book, upon being advised of their denominations. Outside of her bookkeeping affairs, Patty has had but little time to de- vote to social interests but she has managed to work in a bit of music, and now graciously accepts the invi tation to sit before the piano to ren- der a few impromptu selections. These of course, are not always the most tuneful pieces ever heard, but Mrs. Miller believes that if Pat can enlarge her “hand” to spread the oc- tave she will soon be pounding out jazz. Aged Mother Asks Aid in Search For Missing Son ‘An aged mother, whose health is rapidly failing, has appealed to Ro- bert Byrne, secretary of state, to aid her in the search for her son who she believes resides in North Dakota.
