BOSTON AUTO SHOW
WILL OPEN TONIGHT
Show Of Hub City Is Largest and Most
Comprehensive Of All imiIar
Exhibitions.

BOSTON, March 6.-Ending the au-
tomobile exhibition circuit for this sea-
son. the Boston show opens tonight
and will continue through all of next
week. The last of the displays were
installed in the Mechanics building
today and all is in readiness for the
evenings program.
The decorative plans for this years
show are unique and in keeping with
the reform made by the past Boston
shows
Eoston has been the leader in the
matter of automobile show settings
from the very beginning. When the
New York shows were hodge podge
of vari-colored and designed decora-
tions, every manufacturer being per-
mitted to follow his own inclinations,
the scheme of uniform decorations and
signs was employed here. 1t was in
use two years before New York fell
in lime. At the very first Boston show
some seven years ago in Symphony
hall it was insisted upon that the
signs and decorations should be in
harmony with the interior of the hall.
New York and other cities have not
infrequently borrowed automobile
show decorative ideas from Boston.
The Boston show is not only the
most comprehensive and the largest,
but it is recognized as the best retail
show in the country. This is partly
accountable to the density of popula-
ton in Massachusetts, and New Eng
land, which assures a large attend
ance, and also to the fact that the Gave
of the show is just before the opening
of the spring riding season. when pur
chasers realize that if they are not to
miss month or more of riding they
must place their orders Immediately.

Not since Sappho, the sweet singer
of Lebos, charmed the Greeks with the
magic of her music, has a greater
woman poet appeared on the worlds
Stage than Elizabeth Barrett Brown
ing, the centennial of whose birth is
being celebrated today throughout the
English speaking world.
Born on March 6, 1909. Mrs. Brown
ing began a career that was a con-
slant battle against weakness and
disease. So slight, so physically frail,
was she that her relatives and friends
constantly despared of her life, but
her spirit was stronger than the flesh
and it was not until 1861 that Death
which had so long looked upon her
with envious eyes, claimed the tender
and loving spirit as it's own.
Her genius was evident from her
the unwearied tenderness of her de-
voted father. She began to write at
eight years of age, finding inspiration
in the Greeks, for even at that age she
read Homer in the original. At ten
years of age her father printed for her
her eric poem, 1.-The Battle of Mara
thon." At II she wrote a learned essay
on Mind" at 26 and q her poems
were already mature in thought and
in art. Her maiden life was uneventful,
and she said of herself: MY story
amounts to the knife grinders: with
nothing at all for a catastrophe bird
in a cage would have as good story
Most of my events and nearly all my
intense pleasures have passed in my
thoughts"
A luxurious home and an affectionate
home circle nurtured her genius, and
only her own intense love of study
gave her an education. She read many
languages and was deeply learned, es-
pecially in the works of the poets. To

Most Popular of All the

For refined expression in the manu-

So freely and successfully initiated.
Americas architects and men Of the
furniture and Cabinet-maklng lndus-
tries draw heavily upon the mar
kets of the world in the struggle
to supply an ever increasing demand
for genuine mahogany. Hundreds OF
tons of logs annually are imported into
this country and worked into beautiful
forms to grace fine homes or dignity
the interior of public buildings, large
hotels or railway cars.
A few years ago mahogany was re-
garded as a very precious wood, ana
was employed only in the interior OF
ure of the most expensive furniture.
During the past few years, however,
there has been a wonderful develop
ment in mahogany importation and
use
The total quantity of mahogany i'm
ported last year was nearly forty-two
million board feet. Of this large
amount North America supplied 65.6
per cent and Europe IS per cent.
Though Europe supplied only a little
more than one-fourth as much ma
hogany as there was imported from
North America its average value per
thousand feet was more than twice as
much due to finer quality. The remain
der of the imports came from Africa
South America, and Asia.
Mexico furnished 46.2 per cent of
the mahogany coming from North
America, Nicaragua followed with 1872
per cent, British Honduras with 1875
per cent. Cuba with per cent, and
Honduras with IA per cent. Other
Central American countries furnished
the small remaining percentage.
Immediately following the war with
Spain, lumbermen of the United States
exploited the largest and most access

he received word that freight cor had
been derailed near Eddy so he went

A change is soon to be made in the
teachers Of the Dickinson schools: Miss
Edith McDuffy, who, has been instructor
in the fifth grade in the high school
building, has resigned her position and
will teach in the schools Of Hettinger.
She expects to leave Dickinson the last
Of next week. Miss McDuffy has friends
there and has been anxious to get a
school in that town 30 on the resigna-
tion of the regular teacher. Miss Blanche
Mehegan, the position. was available
and was offered her, with the result
that she asked and was relieved at
Dickinson. Il s5
if Owing to the fact that the school year
is 90 far advanced, the school directors
hesitated in securing new teacher to
take Miss McDuffv's school, and other
plans have been made. Miss Vieva
Walster. who has been teaching the first
and second grades on the South Side.
will take up the fifth grade work. and
her old school will be; divided between
the other two teachers across the track,
Mrs. B. E. Noark and Miss Anna
Cuskelly. It will make considerable
additional work but they have consented,
and will be given extra pay Tor the N
Imainder Of this term. Il 4is.sss

v. H. Stickney. Emminent Commnder,
was held at Masonic hall on Monday
evening with an attendance of about IS
members. The inspecting officer was
Deputy Grand Commander Clarence A.
Hale of Grand Forks.
After the inspection the Black Cross
degree was conferred on Herman Leutz
of Taylor in splendid manner. Sir
Knight Hale reviewed the work and
expressed himself as exceptionally we'll
pleased with the manner in which the
Dickinson Knights exemplified the
degree. He paid the lodge a high COM
pliment when he said that no lodge in
the state which he had inspected equal
led Dickinson in the excellence of work
and only one Temple passed better
inspection in the drilling.
At about midnight a banquet was
served in the usual Masonic style of
thorouehness and superiority in every
detail, followed by social hour with
informal speeches by several of those
present.

That Event March 29-Work-
ing For High Showing
Changes in the Officers.

The annual inspection of Co. X, N.
D. N. G., will be held at the armory
on Monday. March 20. Adjutant General
A. P. Peake will probably be present
and the inspecting officer will be dele
gated from the regulars. Last year only
one company in the state succeeded in
reaching the highest standard. This
year Co. X hopes to be able to head the
other companies of the state in all
around excellence. Drills will be held
twice a week. Mondays and Thursdays,
from now until inspection. Co. X has
one advantage. 1t is made up very
largely of old men who are familiar
with the drills and manuals. There are
few new members. even though the
company is up to the old requirements
in number, so, as many as it has equip
ment for.
In addition Co. X is well supplied
with equipment. The new olive caps
were recently secured and the chambray
shirts have been ordered and are expect
ed before drill. Captain Osborn has a
fine bunch of fellows under his COM
mand, the men lack little in the way of
equipment and it is the ambition of all
to make splendid showing at inspec-
ti0n.
Some recent changes have been made
in the on-commissioned officers. Ser
geant Roy Dodd has been promoted to
First Sergeant, succeeding Donald Mars
who is made duty sergeant. Sergeant
James H. Wolford has been given
honorable discharge be use of

Corporal F.. J. Fleury becomes Ser
eeant. Private A. Ellian is promoted

into laws while in the senate only 147
measures out of the 345 succeeded in
getting by both branches of the legisla-
ture.
The closing hours of the legislature
were rather quiet. In the senate. ad-
dresses were made by Senators Simp-
son and Purcell and Senator Simpson was
presented with the senate gavel. Repre-
sentative Baker of Stark county was one
of those making speeches in the house.
Stark county representatives accom-
plished much that is beneficial to their
constituents and the voters can feel
that their interests were we'll looked after
in both branches.
Senator Simpson work in the senate
is meritorious. OF the bills he per-
sonally introduced, the following are
especially important:
S. B. go appropriating So, 500 for the
Dickinson experiment station.
S. B. 157 permitting the appropriation
and expenditure of from $40 to SIS every
year for each school of the district for a
school library, also permitting district
school boards to purchase any dictionary
other than Webster's International
S. B. 159, apprcpriating $5. 900 annu-
ally for the support and maintenance of
the Dickinson, Williston and Langdon

measure as it does away with all strife
and political pulling of the past and
makes specific appropriation each
year which can be depended upon.
S. B. 225, defining the boundaries Of
the Tenth judicial district and regulating
the sessions of court in each county
therein.

DOCTOR 4; SHOT
Chicago Dentist Accidentl>
Wounds Self in Right Hand On
Number 6 Wednesday Just
Before Reaching Dickinson.

D.. w. J. Mahffy, a dentist from Chi
caeo. who has been spending several
days in this vicinity looking for a place
to locate. met with a painful accident
while coming from Glendive Wednes-
day. 1t was case of an accidental
dischar9ing of revolver in his own
hands.
Df.Mahffy left Glendive early Wednes-
day morning on No. and about an
hour before the arriving time in Dickin-
son he took the opportunity to shave
and Ax up q little. After shaving, he
replaced his toilet articles back in his
grip and was about to close it when he
picked up his revolver to examine it as
to cleanliness The day before he
practiced with the gun and was sure that
he had extracted all of the bullets and
so in a careless manner he pulled the
trigger with the result that 81 calibre
bullet entered the back of his right hand
in elancine course to one of the bones
and then out again, lodging in the car
door. s
That the dentist was surprised is put
ting it rather mildly. but he was not
greatly alarmed when the smoke cleared
and he found that the bullet had not
gone through the hand. The injured
member looks as if some one had tried
to pin sheet of paper to the back Of
the hand with heavy spike, there
being two good sized holes about ~
inches apart. s a
Dr.. Mahffy is being cared for by q
local physician and will remain in
the city until his hand is some better.
He expects to take trip across country
to the Milwaukee in a few days.
