TEN CENTS FOR NECK.
SHAVE IS THE
PLAN
North Dakota BARRIERS Asso
citation Will Hold Meeting
in Fargo

Ten cents for neck shave will be
the order IL the efforts Of the North
Dakota Barbers' association are sue
cessful. The annual convention will
be held at Fargo Tuesday. and one Of
the main objects is to get the Fargo
BARRIERS In line for this raise. At
present Fargo makes no extra charge
for neck shaving, Grand Forks has q
charge Of five cents while Devils Lake
and Minot have boosted the price to
ten cents.
It 10 understood that there was
some complaint in those cities at first
and an effort will be made to get the
other cities Of the state in line for q
uniform price. The proposition will
be Of considerable interest to men all
over the state for if the move is sue
cessful It means an extra nickel or
dime every time the masculine por-
ton Of the human race tries to dress
up.
The BARRIERS claim that this in
crease is necessary. The cost Of their
supplies has gone up thirty-three per
cent in the past few years. The profit
In shaving they claim has never been
large, the BARRIERS relying upon other
feaures Of the trade. 1t is also said
that the increase will do away with
the tipping system by which some
customers were given better service
than others. With the increase, all
Will receive the same service and
pay the same price.
While the proposition Of Increasing
the price OF q neck shave is the one
which Is Of greatest interest to the
public, this is not the only proposi.
ton to be considered by the conven-
tion. A movement is on foot to op-
crate central supply store to en-
able the BARRIERS to get their supplies
cheaper and keep their money in the
state. Other matters Of interest will
also be discussed.
The association has been organized
q little over two years. The organ.
izer was A. N. Ecker Of Minot, presi-
dent OF the State Board of Barber
examiners. Mr.. Ecker has been in
Grand Forks for the past few days
attending meeting of the board and
arousing interest among the local
BARRIERS. ees
Ihe last meeting Of the association
was held in Devils Lake last Fehrm-
ary and the Fargo meeting is an ad-
Journed session of the Devils Lake
convention.
a unique feature Of the association
is that both the bosses and the inur-
neymen are included. The 1ourney-
men Of Grand Forks and Fargo are
members Of the international union
The association does not aim to de-
stroy the union but seeks to bring
the employers and employees closer
together for their mutual benefit.
The Fargo meeting will be presided
over by b M. Sitter Of Minot. first
VICE president, in the absence Of 3.

sition OF president prior to his re-
moval west Ed. Richardson Of Devils

POLL

Manager Poll is going to put across
another stellar aggregation OF Vaude-
villeS brightest stars next week ana
the known reputation of the several
acts engaged is a surety that an ex-
cellent afternoon or evenings enjoy
ment is on the cards all next week for
the big Poll clientele. Heading the list
is an act we'll known to Bridgeport
but which comes back this time with
new trimmings and preceded by glow
ing reports of it's added success this
season. The act is that of Sam Cur
tbs and company in the original Cur
tbs idea of "A Session at School,.
Perhaps the best compliment that
could be paid to his production Of Mr..
Curtis is to remind readers that while
he was the originator and while
scores of school acts''S have sprung
up since the Curtis act remains the
standard and the best of them all.
Curtis has a wonderful tenor voice and
has popularized more songs than any
other singing comedian and his bevy
of girls are all there with cultured
voices. The special feature of the bill
will be Agnes Scott and Henry Keane
in Miss SCOTS new sketch Drifting"
Miss Scott will be remembered for the
great success she scored with her
sketch THE Wall Between and the
new offering is even better and dam
tier. Drifting is just a breath of
human nature. figuratively scented
with the smell of blossoms is great
profusion on the stage with which the
scene is set. The scene is an orchard
with the trees ali in bloom, several
trees loking real in the background.
The girl is in the orchard Sketching
and the man comes over the fence.
They meet for the first time, talk and
gradually get acquainted and at the
end he really finds out she is the girl
there
the plot but its dainty and pretty in
development and it has been a glorious
success everywhere it has played. The
added feature is Marshall Montgom-
cry, wonderful as ventriloquist and
inasmuch as Manager Poll has played
a number of ventriloquiStS here this
season he has a real surprise in Mont
gOmery for he goes the others Just
one better in that he whistles,
marvellous performance. Still another
great act and featured one is that

good one and seats for the entire

BOATS IN CHANNEL DELAY
APPROACH OF BIG STEAMER.

The big freighter Fall River, which
runs between Bridgeport, New Haven
and New York, was delayed three
hours on coming into the local harbor
last night through the fact that a
number of vessels had unwittingly
anchored in the channel
Conditions in the anchorage basin
now fully justify the prediction of
Harbor Master Morris in the famous
'harbor fight The anchorage basin
is overcrowded nightly, and as a re-
suit the vessels encroach upon the
channel. Harbor Master Morris
Strengthened out the trouble last night
but it took considerable time to move
the offending boats and the big steam
er lost three hours in consequence.
