Auditorium, March 10th, practically
every other state in the middle west
will either have followed the sugges-
ton given in Governor Eberhart's
or will have made
to do so. .-..~
Minnesota has done the pioneer
work in state conservation, just as
in many other matters vital to the
welfare of the nation, and while the
State Conservation Commission
admits that initiation is the sincere
est form of fattery, it also calls
attention to the fact that unless
Minnesota makes her conservation
congress a permanent gathering the
state will have lost much of the
prestige to which it is entitled.
Other middle western states are
seeking to prevent the centering of
interest on Minnesota by holding
similar and simultaneous meetings.
Iowa has had its good roads con-
gress. Wisconsin has come forth
with the announcement of con-
gress, the objects of which are al
most identical with those of the
Minnesota gathering. Illinois is
laying plans for calling together of
its people to discuss better methods
of husbandry, transportation and
marketing, and Nebraska, labor
ing under the handicap of a
relative poor corn crop and
facing the danger of bad seeding,
which will cost the state this fall
millions of dollars, is calling its
clans together to consider ways and
means of improving such resources
as it has. -...-

New York, March 11-(Special to
Pioneer. Prof. Arvis Evans, the
aleinist of Harry Thaw fame, when
interviewed today and asked to
define givamania, said:
A good many people think giva-
mania is something new, but in fact
it is one of the oldest mental all
ments known to the medical world.
1t is just the reverse of kleptomania.
A person afflicted with kleptomania
wants to take something, possibly a
trihe value or of a great value, that
may or may not be of any particular
use to him. One affected with
Givamania gives away many things
of value to others free of any CON-
pensation from the recipient of the
gift, other probably than a slight
service, or gi IS it to them simply
from some W b or fancy on the
giver's part.
Among those most prominently
affected in this manner, and one
whose mania interests the whole
country at large, is John D. Rock
Teller. He has given to various
institutions and organi ii o n S
throughout the country during the
past ten years many millions of
dollars, the University of Chicago
alone receiving $2O,OOO,OO0, his last
gift Of this amount, S5,O0O,OO0, hav.
ing been given to them in the past
few weeks.
Other prominent men and women
of financial, political and social
circles in the country are known to
be similarly affected with the same
mania. Mrs. 0. P. Belmont is a
suffragette, and has given many
hundred thousands of dollars to
its cause. Associated with her in
this has been Miss Anna Morgan,
daughter of ]. Pierpont Morgan, a
millionariess in her own right, who
has given both her financial and
moral support, renting halls, hold
ing meetings, paying the expenses of
campaign speakers and donating ole

To this congress came delegations
from forty counties in the Ozark

others in special trains. The agri-
cultural exhibits represented coun-
ties in every corner of the state.

that the pupils might come to the
congress in a body. One village

its delegation. that the crowds might

with the remarkable strength of
the program we have to offer" says
D. M. Neill, president of the Mime
sofa Federation of Commercial Clubs,
with the richness of our own
resources, the we'll populated region
surrounding the Twin Cities, and
the multitude of talking points upon
which emphasis can be placed-all
these, coupled with the immense
seating capacity of the St. Paul
Auditorium, should result in a con-
servation congress which will not
only establish the reputation of the
state for doing things and not
doing them right, but should also
make any and all other congresses
pale into insignifcance by CON-
parison."

Mr.. RYAN and COMPANY
SCORED A DECIDED HIT
1.-The Fox Was Strong Play, Wildly
Portrayed.-'Dr. JeykII and
e.
Mr.. Hyde" Tonight.

A real treat was given the thea tire
goers of Bemidji, last night at the
Armory when MI. Daniel Ryan and
his most excellent company gave
The Fox" play written by Mr..
Ryan, and in which the star dis
plays great talent.
As Joe Laplante," a French
Canadian, Mr.. Ryan gave a fine
character portrayal, his accent and
general demenor winning him
unstinted applause. The character
is difficult one to assume, but Mr..
Ryan was the French Canadian to
the manner born.
Mr.. Ryan was very ably supported
by Selma VonMoltke, as ''Virginie,"
Thomas L. Bower, as Napoleon
Dore" and Herbert Frank, as
Alexander Devanne, ST., and Alex.
Devanne, Jr.
The play was we'll staged, the CON-
~pany carrying its own scenery,
which was true to the surrounding
where the plot of the play was
laid.
Professor Harry Masten's full
orchestra furnished music for the
entertainment; and the boys were
never in better tune. Several new
selections were given among them
being a very unique piece called
Musical Episode-A hunt in the
Black Forest" in which the traps
played very plominent part, bring
ing into service the flash light,
anvil, bells, horse hoofs, rooster crow,
bird call, revolver, etc., which
made a decided hit. ....
Tonight, Mr.. Ryan will put on his
very best play, DR.. Jeykll and Mr..
HYDE" in which he has scored
many successes. Mr.. Ryan was a
member of Richard Mansfeld's COM
pany, and often took the leading
part in this play while with MI.
Mansfield.
This play is one of the greatest
dramas before the American public;
and the Ryan company excels in
this production.
Professor Masten's orchestra will
play, and as the show is for the
benefit of Co. K, there should be a
large attendance.

tests, etc. ~.
The tournament will be held in

tourney.
The tournament committee of the

The Philadelphia milk dealers who
recently raised the price Of their;
product to nine cents quart and then
lowered 1t again to eight appear toi
have been the subjects of great deal
OF unjust censure. They announced
at the time of the raise that milk
could not be sold at eight oents with

would not pay the new price. however,
they are continuing to sell OF the Old
