Time. PIaoe and olrI.

The Time, The Place and The Girl'
proved at the local theatre last night
that previous visits have in no way
diminished its popularity in this city,
large audience seeming to find the
time most appropriate and both place
and girl decidedly attractive. 1t is
probable that more brilliant compan-
les have appeared in this production,
but the present one is thoroughly cap
able and the principals are decidedly
above the average found In musical
comedy from vocal point of view,
while there are a number of really
good-looking and graceful girls in the
large chorus.
Miss Jessie Huston, In the part of
Margaret Simpson, is petite and
daintfly coquettish. She sings her
three numbers, 81 Don't Like Your
Family" TITS Lonesome Tonight" and
Don't You TELL" with a sweet, IL
somewhat thin, soprano voice in de-
lightful fashion and the last two in
particular were repeatedly encored.
Happy Johnny Hicks, gambler by
profession, and original slang singer
as a side line, was taken by Robert
Pitkin, who is hard worker and the
possessor of breezy, though some
what obvious style of humor. Mr.. PITT
kin rendered the famous Thursday is
My Jonah Day" with great success,
while in the last act he shared honors
with Miss Huston in the dainty Don't
You TeIl'' song.
c. NJ Giff1n is the Tom Cunningham
of the production. His comedy in the
second act was very natural and clever
and his only number, First and Only"
was well received.
An old favorite of local theatre goers
was discovered in the widow, Mrs.
Talcott played by Miss Mae Bouton
in her usual finished manner. Miss
Bouton is as charming as ever and it
was pleasure to listen to her render
ing Of "The Waning Honeymoon" /"
Uncle Sans Best Girl" and "Dixie I
Love YOU"
The part of Molly Kelly was taken
full advantage of by Miss Elizabeth
Thomas while j. S. Kinslow as Laurie
Farnham was responsible for an ex-
ceedingly popular number. BLOW the
Smoke Away"

CRADLE OF BLUE LAW.

In Connecticut they are repeating
blue laws which were enacted in 1922
The land Of steady habits does this
because in its larger cities there is an
outcrying popular demand fer harm
less Sunday pastimes--whlch are "for
the general welfare Of the community .
The playing OF baseball Is accepted
as such a diversion by the modern
spirit of the old nutmeg state.
Herein is a lesson for North Dakota,
which has still upon her statute books
many Of the enactments Of blue law
days

intolerancy can perceive the error OF

for some OF the rest OF the states to
emulate her fine modern instances.
There is no demand for the conver-
sion of the first day of the week into a
day Of hilarity and license withour
limit of restriction--but the more lib
eral minds Of the country have long
since ceased to regard Sunday baseball
as wicked practice.

DEATH ON soLEs.


Pedestrians who have noticed the
frequency with which they are forced
to visit the shoe dealers for new shoes,
and have wondered why 1t is that
shoes do not wear as long today as they
did some years ago--probably laying
the blame at the door Of the manufac-
turers-will find the cause OF the
trouble in the cement sidewalks which
have so largely replaced the wooden
walks throughout the city.
The cement walks-while in many
ways an Improvement over the old kind
are hard on shoe leather This is due
to the rough surface-which is made up
of tiny particles of gravel--that cut
small grooves in the sole of the shoe as
the pedestrian drags his feet along the
surface in the process of walking.
These grooves soon enlarge, until they
become holes--and the sole of the shoe
is worn out long before the uppers have
shown the least signs Of wear. The
old walks had a smoother surface,
which did not cut into the leather. The
cement sidewalk is very much like q
piece OF sandpaper. 1t soon grinds
away the best piece of leather than can
be found in the market.

ments as TO tariff matters who had any
personal interest in the tariff.
The situation in Washington here
to-day he declared. "is such that you
cannot get the truth out Of anybody. !
am very fond of liars. have studied
them by day and by night. but I never
in my life saw such an aggregation Of
them as are assembled in this Capitol.
and they can lie with equal facility
upon one side or the other of the SAINT
question"
Senator Rayner. of Maryland. said
he did not believe the Cuban iron ore
would go west Of the Alleghenies. but
II would be available for the steel COM
panies on the Atlantic coast. in Eastern
Pennsylvania. Delaware and Maryland.
The companies. he said. were competi-
tors of the United states Steel Corpor-
alton. from which il now buys its iron
ore.

WASHINGTON. May lt-"Prosperity
will come to us, just as soon as the ora
torical steam is shut of on capital hill"
said James J. Hill, the railroad magnate,
at the White House after a conference
with the President. "The tariff agitation
Is the only thing. that prevents the coun-
try from going back to It's business. A
large per centage Of the people have an
idea that the tariff will cure the tooth
ache. set a broken leg, or grow crops. AS
a consequence. whenever there is a move
TO change the tarin, these people sit down
and wait until the legislation is completed.
In the meantime tho farmer neglects his
work. the businessman and banker do not
attend to their business, and the whole
country suffers from the stagnation. I
think that, taken as a whole the crops this
year. will be very good Up in the north
west. we will have a very fair yield Of
wheat. but not as large as some years.
because the acreage is reduced. think
that prosperity will be with us perman-
