It is not essential that the various
subdivisions should be arranged as
herein suggested, or that the depart.

officer in charge should be known as q
commissioner These are only means OF
designation and other terms can be used
as conveniently and effectively, but the
classification herein suggested is only
one of the many that might be ar
ranged, and one that would seem to
be the most logical. The working Out

One-fifteenth of Minnesota's surface

The Red River of the North has fall

great water powers exist on the st.

100000 horsepower, of which consld-

RUTH BATES PLEAsEs CROWD.
*. S. A. @. Girl With Stage Yearning,
Said to Have Talent.

Manhattan, Kan, May "A few
experienced theater goers who saw a
play of army life presented a few
nights ago in the auditorium at the
Kansas State Agricultural college, are
talking about the work of Ruth Halter
Bates of Manhattan. This leading
"woman"-who is only 19-neVer had
a speaking part before. All her stage
work in the past, and there isn't much
of it, had been confined to thinking
She had been peasants and vii
layers" but never had turned deliber-
ately to the audience and taken it into
her confidence. Yet in the army play
she showed presence" she knew how
to talk and what to do with her hands
and feet and she could get on and off
the stage without knocking anything
over.
Miss Bates played Colonel Someone's
daughter. in the army play, and did it
excellently. There were several love
scenes, and the part was hard for an
inexperienced young woman but she
proved competent throughout. Man
haitian, and particularly the students
in college, would like to have her sue
coed in her chief ambition. Miss Bates
is popular, pretty and talented in sew
eral ways. She is studying domestic
science in the agricultural college. Her
father is coal merchant, which
means, of course, that she has every
thing she desires and, may, eventually,
have her own way about the stage.
But the parents, her friends, say, are
"Set'' against it.

remarked to the conductor that he

When Another Mans Letters Are
round Husband Is Justified.

G. Leavenworth, Kan, May 9.-Judge
stewart Brewster in police court
demonstrated conclusiveIy that mar
rled women who receive love letters
from men other than their husbands
need expect no sympathy frcm him.
NOR was that all. He likewise made il
apparent that it is his intention to deal
leniently with husbands who find such
communications where they had mad
Vertently been left. -.
Mrs. Hemphill, tall, slender and a.
d1stinct blonde type, exhibited lump
on her chin which she declared had
been caused through a collision with
her husbands fists.
You have heard this woman's testi-
mony," said City Attorney B. F.
Endres to the defendant. what have
you to say for yourself?"
HemphilI said: Here was the way
of it. I admit that I had been drink
ing considerably, but that had moth
ing to do with striking my wife. When
got home 1 found two letters from a
strange man, and after reading them
must have forgotten myself. T.
When the letters were turned over
to the city attorney and court, Judge
Brewster only glanced at the first of
many pages. then, as he replaced them
in their envelope, said in no unmean-
ing tone: ''Mr. Hemphill, I would
advise you to seek a divorce. The
charge of assault and battery against
you is dismissed"
