The MANGER
TO The CROSS

The advance sale of tickets is now
on for, the show, From the Manger to
the Cross, a reverent moving-picture
life story of Jesus of Nazareth. This
feature picture will be shown at the
Bijou theatre Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. There are
5000 feet of films and the scenes are
taken in authentic locations in Pales-
tine and Egypt. This picture is the
Kalem Co.'S Biblical Masterpiece and
is the worlds greatest religious film
subject, and is unanimously endorsed,
by the clergy.
The tremendous undertaking enter
ed upon by the producers Of this great
film, containing about $4,000 photo-
graphs, has required eight months of
artistic industry, the employment of
specialists in authoritative research,
forty actors, hundreds of super
numeraries, drovesof sheep and a cara
van of camels-a kaleidoscope process
sion-no effort nor expenditure has
been spared to achieve the realization
Of a high ideal. The furniture used
in the various scenes was specially
made to resemble, as far as possible,
that used at the start of the Christian
era, while the apparel OF the various
actors was designed by and made
under the direction of a tailor at
Cairo, who is the greatest expert on

new SECRETARY
FOR Y. NJ. c. A.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Y. M. C.
A. WILL HAVE NEW SECRETARY
THIS YEAR TO SUCCEED A. L.
MILLER - STUDENTS RAISING
FUNDS FOR SALARY.

A new secretary will assume charge
Of the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege Y. M. G. A. this fall in the person
of Ray Sweetman of Indianapolis, Ind,
who will begin his duties here in the
early autumn.
MI. Sweetman will succeed A. l..
Miller, who resigned from that posi-
ton last September when he entered
Indiana university at Bloomington. No
was engaged to fill his place and
the services of a secretary were so
keenly felt this last year that the
students themselves decided to raise
sufficient funds to pay the salary of a
man to take charge.
The new secretary comes most high
ly recommended both by his predeses-
sor and others who have known him
well. The Forum is in receipt of a
letter today from DR.. Thomas C. Howe,
president of Butler college at Indinan-
polls, introducing Mr.. Sweetman, a
graduate of that institution.
After finishing his course at Butler,
Mr.. Sweetman attended the University
Of Wisconsin, graduating from Madi-
son this spring. He comes from one
Of the foremost families of Irvington,
one of the handsomest suburbs of
Indianapolis. President Howe's. re-
commentator speaks well for the
young man in the beginning Of his

SUMNER SCHOOL OPENS

Summer school opened at the Y. M.
C. A. this morning for the boys and
girls of the grade schools of Fargo
with the pupils enrolling in the as
ISOLATION auditorium.
Miss Ludwig, the principal, enrolled
the students in their various classes
and gave the assignments for the first
lesson. The school will be open for
enrollments for the remainder of this
week and any boy or girl who wishes
to get in may do SO.
The method of teaching is largely
individual instruction and it gives an
excellent opportunity for the pupils
to make UP on work that they are
weak in. In the period of five weeks
the review of the book gets the con-
tents well in the minds of the pupils
for the August examinations.
1t is urged though that all those in
tending to AXE the school enroll at
once so as to have the opportunity of
the longer time.

Mr.. Alfred's operation in st. Johns

NARROWLY ESCAPE
TRAGIC DEATHS
PARTY OF WOMEN In BUGGY
WAS STRUCK BY STREET CAR
ON EIGHTH STREET SOUTH
YESTERDAY NooN-EscAPE is
CONSIDERED MIRACULOUS.

A buggy containing a party OF wo-
men composed Of Mrs. Carl Buttles,
her sister, Mrs. Selner and baby, Of
Duluth, and Mrs. Buttles' young
daughter, was struck yesterday noon
by q west bound street car at the In
tersection of Eighth street and Ninth
avenue south, and the occupants of
the rig escaped death in a most mirac-
ulous mt
Neither the women in the vehicle
nor the motorman in the car saw the
other until 1t was too late to stop
either. The car crashed into the bug
BY, sending the women and children
high into the air and out quite a dis
lance on the pavement. That all es-
capped without injuries to say nothing
of their lives, is regarded as most
miraculous.
Mrs. Buttlss, wife of the caretaker
of Riverside cemetery, and Mrs. Sell
ner were returning from church. The
little girl was driving, the buggy when
the accident happened. They were all
thrown a distance of about twenty
feet from the car, which probably
saved their lives, for had they fallen
directly in front of the carrier where
their buggy stood when hit, they would
have been run over and mangled be-
meath the wheels. AS it was the Sell
ner baby had its left shoulder dislo-
Gated n the two women and the
little girl received a number Of
scratches.
The motorman was a new man on
that run and, it is said, is new in the
company's service. Those who have
investigated the accident are unable
to determine how any of the parties
involved could have escaped seeing
either Of the approaching vehicles.

GREAT WEEK FOR
CROP GROWTH
SOUTHWESTERN PART OF STATE
lN UNUSUALLY EXCELLENT;
SHAPE THIS YEAR-RAIM AT
DICKINSON PROVED or I'M
MENsE BENEFIT.

Remarkable Improvement In The
outlook for a. successful growing year
has been the rule of the past week in
North Dakota, the crop situation
being very materially bettered By
heavy rains which have been unusually
general, covering almost every section
of the entire state.
A week ago the reports showed that
there was a general demand for rain,
and that the grain was beginning to
show the need Of moisture. Later
reports garnered from almost every
corner, show that whatever back
been largely overcome by the heavy
rains and warm weather that has fol-
lowed it.
Acreage Decrease Will Be Offset.
Decreases in the acreage this year
are about 10 per cent, while the wheat
acreage will also be reduced. The to-
tai reduction in the gross field, how
ever, may be lighter than the percent
age of acreage, as the farmers every
where are using better methods, and
greater yields per acre will be the
rule.
In the southwestern part of the state
the outlook this season is particularly
good. During the week ending today
there has been a total rainfall at Dick
inson Of 1913 inches, this being spread
over five rains in as many different
days. 1t has been cloudy most of the
week. and the moisture has been per-
mitted to sink deep into the soil.
Stark, Morton, Adams, Hettinger,
same condition.
New Counties Favored.
North Of that district, in the McKen-
zie, Dunn and Mercer county region,
where much of the grain is on new
land, the rain was badly needed, but it
has entirely revived the crops.
Northern North Dakota seems to
have been well favored. From the
Red River valley to the extreme west
ern boundary line of the state there
has been a very general rain, very few
communities being escaped. Pembina,
Cavalier and Walsh counties probably
received the lightest rains, but even
there the situation is reported salts
factory. Central Walsh needs more.
moisture, but is not suffering.
Trail county, except for the south
western district, Grand Forks, Nelson,
Ramsey, most of Cass, as well as the
southern counties. including the belt
east of the Missouri river to the Red
river, has been favored.
Growth in South More Advanced.
The growth in the southern section
of the state is much more advanced
than in the northern district. The
southwest portion did not have as
backward a spring, and with the same
general conditions prevailing from
now on, harvest will be reached there
about ten days earlier than in the
north.
There will be an exceptionally large
amount of land summer fallowed this
season as the result of the acreage
shrinkage.

Too Many Laws.

Litchfield Review: The fact that
Judge Johnson, holding court at Red
Wing, directed a grand jury to bring
indictments against any railway Of
fetal if they found a greater rate than
2 cents a mile charged for carrying
passengers, once more emphasizes the
fact that there is an over supply of
laws. 1t is evident there are so many
laws on u statute books, that law
yers not only overlook some of them,
but, in their search for what is in the
statutes, lose sight altogether of the
principles Of the common law.

GET YOUR FLAG
FOR The Fourth
THE FORUM HAS A LARGE SUP
PLY OF EXCELLENT FLAGS AND
EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD Dis
PLAY ONE FOR THE FOURTH
OF JULY.

Every loyal American citizen should
have a flag. This is the greatest IA
ton on the face of the globe. and its
citizens should be proud Of that fact,
and proud of the starry banner which
floats over this nation OF free men.
In the days of the glory of old Rome
b greatest honor that could be con-
ferred pon 3 ma was TO make him a
citizen of the Roman empire, but
Rome. ia her proudest day. although
she ruled all the known world, could
not compare, In wealth, In strength or
in greatness with the American repub-
lie Of today. BE proud of your citi-
zenship I'D this nation and teach your
boys and girls to take the same pride
In being an American.
The Forum believes In teaching pa-
triotisrn. For that reason 1t has secur-
ed al great supply of American lags
and ig distributing them at nominal
fee, merely covering the cost ana the
expense OF handling them.
Get n of these flags to display on
the Fourth OF July. 1T is d handsome
flag, large enough for display ait the
home, and no Fargo home will be in
plste without one.

Humorous Railroad President.

be a touch of humor wen in railroad
presidents. Here is the excellent
gentleman who is at the head Of the
Pennsylvania and he says his COM
pany stands ready to swap it's Balti-
more & Ohio stock for the Southern
Pacific stock held by the Union Paci-
fc because it desires to "dispossess
itself of stocks in roads which do not
form an integral part of it's SYSTEM

parallel line nor of the way the distant
Pacific line becomes integral.

No Secret About Woman's Beauty,

The flashing eye, the elastic step
and the brilliant complexion are new
er companions Of organic troubles;
but it is the distressed expression,
aches and pains, faintness, dizziness,
that bearing down feeling, and the
blues that are the tell-taIe symptoms.
If such women would only remember
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes such distress
ing symptoms womanly beauty would
be no longer a secret.
