to his taste as the frSc lance column
OF Ginger Snaps" which he has been
permitted to serve to his readers over
his own initials; and for which the
management of the paper has not
held itself responsible.
The chief satisfaction OF the special
column lay in the field il has so often
afforded him to point the moral of an
economic theory which the writer
believes to be fundamental to the ad-
justment of the quarrel between La
Dor and Capital: fundamental to the
destruction of the monopolistic pow
or OF corporate and concentrated
wealth; fundamental to the abolish.
ment of that distinction termed priv
ileged classes: fundamental to the
abatement OF the unhappy diversity
between excessive wealth and grind

the remedy; and that in doing so il
proposes no conhscation of property
rights. nor requires any social millcn-
ium for its application.
Now truth is always more readily
absorbed in small doses, and the rec

A SELECT ENTERTAINMENT

The people Of Worthington will he
treated to a select entertainment on
Friday evening, May lst, by the
Mohr-McMillan company, controlled
by the Minneapolis Journal. The en-
tertainment will be given under the
auspices of the Ladies' Guild of St.

The company is composed of first

Their reportoir includes vocal and in
strumental selections, recitations, I'M
presentations and a number of short
comedies, etc.
This splendid company has been
touring Minnesota the past season
under the management of the Mime
apolis Journal and scored hit wher
ever it has appeared, and has received
most fattering press notices, of which
the following is fair sample:
Anoka Free Press, Jan. %: The
Mohr- Mcmillan Concerts given at
the hall Wednesday evening, contain
ed enough variety to please the most
fastidious. It contained songs,
dances, elocu ton, impersonation.
comedy and motion pictures, and
every number was enthusiastically
received by large audience. The
character studies of Florence Jerome
Mohr has seldom, if ever, been sur
passed in Anoka by travelling artists,
and her very appearance before the
footlie hts created favorable impress
sion. Pauline Weir's work was good
especially her exhibition of Indian
club swinging, which was away above
the ordinary. Little Corinne Flem'
ing and Joe Colling (the man with
many voices) each scored hit.
