TO CONSOLIDATE
INTO ONE DISTRICT
County Supt. Hecht Attends
Meeting at Powers Lake
10 Discuss Proposition

County Superintendent c. H.
Hecht returned, Saturday after
noon from Powers Lake where
he went to meet with the citizens
Of the southwestern portion of
Burke county and northwestern
portion Of Mountrail county,
which meeting was held for the
purpose of devising a means by
which two townships in Burke
county and two townships in
Mountrail county could be unit
ed into a single school district
which district would erect a
large high school building during
the coming summer. About 325
people were present, Mr.. Hecht
tells The Tribune, and several
addresses were delivered on the
subject by the promoters of the
scheme. All thought it a good
plan in every way with the ex-
ception that it would prove un-
handy for pupils living in the
territory on the farther edges of
proposed district. Although
many expressed their views in
regard to the matter, nothing
definite was done, and another
meeting will probably be called
for a later date, at which timeit
is expected that the law will be
looked up more carefully, and
things arranged so as to be ready
to place the proposition before
the voters. Mr.. Hecht highly
compliments the citizens of
Powers Lake in, tAeir treatment J:
of him during his stay there.
They were all very friendly to :
him and seemed to vie with each
other in the entertainment of
him and the looking after of all
his wants.

Amundson was. arraigned in
district court this morning before
Leighton and entered a plea of
not guilty to the charge of rape
in the second degree preferred
against him. Previous to enter
ing his plea, Judge Palda for
the defense, entered a demurrer
to the complaint on grounds that
the information did not contain
sufficient facts to constitute a
public offense. This was over
ruled. Mr.. Palda then filed an
affidavit Of prejudice against the
county asking for a change. of
venue to some other county and
Judge Leighton issued an order
transferring the case to Will
Jams county district court at
Williston. >...
This was objected to by the
defense, Mr.. Palda claiming
that a fair and impartial trail
could not be secured there and
he was given until this after
noon to made showing in the
matter at which time Judge
Leighton agreed to reconsider
the order. This afternoon Judge
Palda stated to the court that
he was interested in a number
Of damage suits against the
Williams county sheriff and he
was convinced that they could
not secure a fair trail there.
Judge Leighton ordered the
case transferred to Divide coun-
ty which is IN this district. Con-
sequently the case will be tried
before Judge Leighton some
time in June at Crosby. -.

Much Sympathy Is Wasted On Girls
 Who Pine To Act
What Wilson Melrose, the Poli Leading Man, Has
 to Say About It.

This is what Wilson Melrose, Poli's leading man has to say about stage struck girls:
 Much sympathy is wasted in the general effort to dissuade young wo- men from entering upon a stage ca~ reer because when they set out ;n that direction, neither lamentation nor objurgation, pleading nor com mand, love nor logic, is permitted successfully to oppose their course. They learn, however, that the career is far from being the land of enchant- ment that their eager imagination first perceives; that the glittering tri- umphs of which they dream are re- served for the few; and that even or- dinarily remunerattve employment on the stage often is obtained at a cruel price. Just to show you the average experience of the young women in quest of employment in the theatre look at this extract from a letter written by one of them, to an ac- quaintance who had exhausted every resource in the way of argument against her seeking a career when, in the first flush of her hope for glory, she appealed to me for guidance:
 It is degrading to ones self re- spect,' she writes, to visit day after day a manager who has made several specific appointments with you, and to sit in his ante-rocm two hours at a stretch, only to be informed at the end of your weary waiting that he went out and left word that he would see you tomorrow. When to-mor- row comes it is likely to be the same story over without perceptible varia- ton; but one is obliged to submit, for there is a chance of inpressing the manager when you finally do get to the long-sought personal interview. :,
 Then you must make a daily call at all the dramatic agencies" she con- tinued, which are run much as are the employment bureaus for dom estic servants. You may call at one of them in the morning and be inform ed that a certain manager has inti- mated a wish to meet you at three you kill time as you may, or can. Promptly at the appointed moment you appear. You wait two hours. No manager presents himself. Later you learn that he passed the after noon at the races, and conclude that he did not give your appointment thought It is the way of a major ity of his. guild; Day follows day, and in wind, and rain, and sun, the treadmill round is kept up.. At last you are forced to accept. some worth less part, which you play an entire year of opportunity to learn something of the art of which you still are hon estly enamored. In the meantime you are growing older; and by and by before you have accomplished any thing worth while, or played one part to be rememberer. with any other emotion than disgust, you shall step into the Old Woman groove. That is the end. Farewail, then, to fame and hope. Now the sole aim in life is bread-and- butter"
 "So you see that the path to fame is not strewn with roses" said Mir Melrose.

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER

One can hardly expect children to willingly accede to opposition on the part of their parents if there is a lack between them of confidence and res Filial friendships should be as strong as those others with friends outside of the home circle.
 It is most gratifying to mother to feel that she is included in the correspondence carried on between her boys and girls and their friends.
 The message, Remember me to your dear mother is like a cordial in her veins
 It so clearly and simply demon out. that it's appealing force is stronger than the polite note ac- knowledging her hospitality after a recent visit.
 The happiest mothers are those who grow with their children, keeping up in intellectual attainments, dress, and LID to date thought and arrangement in household and social matters.
 To such mother a child proudly refers as the last authority, and will be quite willing to bring before her even the supreme matter of selection of husband or wife.
 Of course there are cases where the children will not listen,, but the great majority who have learned to ap- preciate their mothers sanction of in- tinacies under her eye in the home will not be as likely to Stubbornly make fatal errors, because or Irleno- ships made "on the sly,' or at least in circles where their mother never moves.

 He caught his breath quickly as a loud shout and the wailing yelp of a hurt dog rose for an instant above all other sounds. Only one thing was wanting to complete another picture in his brain-a scene which had burned itself into his life forever and which he strove to fight back as he stood staring from the doorway. He half expected it to come-the shrill scream of a boyish voice. an instant's suilen quiet, then the low throated thunder of impending vengeance and the fight.
 With marvellous quickness his exeit- ed mind reconstructed the scene be- fore him into the scene that had been. He heard the scream again, which had been his voice. saw as if in dream the frenzied rush of men and the flash of knives, and then from where he lay, trampled and bleeding in the snow. the long. lean team of swift huskies that had carried in mad flight the one whose life those knives sought
 Williams had been, there: he had seen the fght-his knife had flashed with the others in its demand for life. And yet he-Jan Thoreau-h had not been recognized by the factor out there beside the caribou roast.
 He hurried toward the fire. Half way across the open he stopped. From out of the forest opposite Cummins' cabin there trailed slowly team of dogs. In the shadows of the spruce, hidden from the revelers, the team halted Jan heard the low voices of men, and figure detached itself from the gloom. walking slowly and in the manner of one near to exhaustion in the direction of the carnival.

PoLI's

Next Monday afternoon at Pohs will mark the presentation of play new to Bridgeport and one which on account of the excessive royalty is not played very often in stock. "A Gentleman of Leisure This play had a continuous run at three of the Met ropolitan theatres. The play was or ginally produced by Douglas Fair banks and is a melodramAtic comedy full of heart interest. The leading part is that of young man about town who in spirit of joviality per- vading at a dinner party makes a bet with those present that he could bur- glarize and loot house without being caught at it. Just before starting out on his mission he is attacked by a burglar in his own house and beats him. He convinces the burglar that he is one of the most notorious of the profession and real king pin of them all and induces him to go along with him. This is the theme of the play around which the story is written and which leads him into difficulties which require four acts of mirth to extricatef him. Of course there is a girl in the story to whom he has never spoken but with whom, nevertheless, he is desperately in love. The authors, John Stapletons and P. c. Wodehouse, have handled some obvious situations with a new touch and have turned out new comedy which offers an evening of undoubted entertainment and some delicious bits of ironic hu- nor and penetrating satire. MT. Mel rose will have a most congen1aI role as "The Gentleman of Leisure" and the rest of the company will have sup porting parts that rival him in i'm portance.
 ."The Girl of the Golden Vest with it's western atmosphere, its beautlTu heart interest and mammoth scenic production is still packing them in this week. Next Monday night a1l- other of those beautiful $500 Stultz Bros pianos will be given away to some lucky lady.

 One charming coat noticed recently was of oyster white pongee, with bits of French blue corded silk in collar, cuffs and narrow belt.

A rose enamel button, lovely in color, finish es the double breasted front.
 On the dressy wash coats puffings are used as the very newest mode of trimming.

PARAGRAPH POINTS ON
 PADS AND FASHIONS.

Coat sets are having a revival, so are collar and cuff sets.
 Perfectly simple tailored jackets with pleated skirts are seen.
 Chiffon blouses to match the tail ored suit are still in fashion.
 The newest coat sleeve is a raglan in front and one piece in the back.
 Many Paris. couturiers- are showing tfree-piece suits-skirts. and coat of broadcloth, with satin bodice exactly matching.
 The fashionable figure remains the same-with straight youthful lines. The idea is to give the effect of sup pIeness as far as possible.
 Whenever Directoire coat styles are in favor buttons become important. Carved crystal. amber and rhinestones are just now used on them.
