Armory Opened on
FridayNith Big Ball
Ninty Couples Participate in First So
cial Event to Be Held in Company
LIS Fine Home

Terpsichorean gaiety reached the
limit at the opening event at the new
armory on Friday evening.
Ninty couples defed the icy weather
and went forth to raptures of the ball
room.
1t was sure some event, chilly but
cheerful Illiteration can go no far
Their.
And it was no common drill room
into which the guests were ushered-
Naturally armory suggests rifles, can
mons, uniforms, and ammunitions of
trouble. Nothing doing.
The soon-to-be dancers found them
selves in room splendidly decorated
with the national guard design upon
which appeared in gold letters IN. N.
G." and serving as background to
gay colored streamers. Flags were
used in profusion so that the hall was
transformed into splendid military
ball room. The decorations were i'm
charge of John Klaus, whose reputa-
ton as decorator was emphasized
by his artistic work upon that occa-
sion.
The music was furnished by the
Metropolitan orchestra and was re-
peatedly applauded by the dancers.

Minister Arrested
On Arson Charge
Rev. E. Ekland. of Lac Qui Parle
County Confesses to Burning of
House and Automobile

Rev. E. Ekland of Lake Shore town,
Lac qui Parle county, according to
deputy fire marshals, confessed We'd
nesday that he fired his own house
and barn on the morning of January
20, and that he burned his automobile
last June. He is now in Jail.
Tells Weird Story
According to the story told by
Ekeland on the day of the fire he was
awakened at 6 o'clock in the morning
by smoke and found his house on fire;
that he tried to get out of the front
door, but could not; that he then ran
to the back door and, while trying to
get out, was hit on the head twice by
an unseen assailant and stunned, but
recovered in time to get out of the
house, when he found the barn burn
ing. He said he rescued his live stock,
but was unable to get any of his
household goods out. He also told of
receiving anonymous letters threaten
ing him unless he quit the country.
Martin and Heimbach were sent
from st. Paul to investigate the fire.
After working on the case they dis
covered that most of the household
goods had been removed from the resi-
dence. Then they called in the county
attorney and the arrest followed.
Confession is Complete
Ekeland then confessed, according
to the fire marshals, to setting the

bull and blind-folded ponies and he
saw what the bull did to those ponies.
That's as far as he got, barring the
fact that he got outside and relieved
his mind. Also he got away with it
without being pinched, he says. In
cidentally he hadn't long to wait on
the outside until the entire eighteen
Americans joined him.
An American may revcl in a little
game of draw poker but bull fighting
is distinctly not in his line. Mr..
Clement says the ponies had no chance
for their money and the bull had still
less Glenn sticks for fairer game,
something for instance like selling
Texas land and if you want to know
all about Texas land just drop in and
talk things over with Mr.. Clement.

fire, and also to the burning of his
automobile last June. He also ac-
knowledged, the officials say, that he
wrote the threatening anonymous let
tiers to himself.
The accused man has been the pas
tor of two churches in the county,
coming there two years ago after
graduating at a theological seminary
at ST. Anthony Park. His family is
on a visit in the old country.

Tomorrow fishers
in 40 Days Fasting
Ash Wednesday Comes Early This
Year and Easter Sunday is Twen-
ty-third Day of March

Lent begins tomorrow with the SER
vices of Ash Wednesday.
This brings Easter Sunday March
%, the earliest date for that event in
good many years.
The date for Easter is established
with considerable indifference to pre-
cedence by the moon. To the un-
thinking it might appear that the
moon sets Easter any old time it feels
an Easter would come in handy.
But the unthinking would be some
distance from the truth.
The rule, in spite of moonish vagar-
les, is rigorous. 1t is: Easter Sum-
day is the first Sunday following the
fourteenth day of the calendar moon
after March p. Hence and therefore
Easter this year comes just about as
early as any old moon can bring it and
likewise around about April % is as
late as any Easter Sunday can call
out new bonnets.
There you have it.
Incidentally it is supposed that an
early Easter brings an early spring
and right there is where some one has
his wires crossed. Ground hog comes
out February 2, sees his shadow and
takes to the delving ways of the old
fashioned politicians on the assump-
ton that spring is far, far away. But
Easter stands up and declares an early
spring is certain. You pays your
money and you takes YOUR choice.

YOU HAVE TO

You have to hold your head up;
You have to lift your chest;
You simply have to set your
teeth
And live your splendid best.
No matter if you're growing old
Or if you're growing fat,
No matter if you're weak and
poor
The most of US are that.
No matter if long years behind
Show failure deep and dead,
You have to live your splendid
best
In the short years ahead.

And thereby hangs tale,

RATIONAL TARIFF REVISION

Notwithstanding all the confusion wrought by
agitation over other progressive issues, ranging
from moderate to extreme radical proposals. and
the unwonted and undemocrstic devotion to the
personal claims Of candidates the question OF tar
If revision became an influential factor in the
last election. writes Amos K. Fiske. in the Febru
airy number Of The North American Review. The
question was more nearly ripe for a rational de-
csion than at any time in so years All parties
were ready to acknowledge the abuses that have
grown up under the tariff during that period and
the need OF remedy.
The problem is one Of today and rot OF gen
Grafton ago or generation to come. and its solu-
ton must have due regard to existing conditions
The contest is along the line OF the old division
between fundamental policy of tariff for revenue
only and tariff with protection OF American in
dustries against foreign competition as primary
object
The question is what should and can be done
in a sensible and practical way in the revision OF
the tariff There will be wide difference OF
that there is advantage to the people Of the
try in maintaining industries on basis OF artifi-
cia cost and high prices, by shielding their pro-
ducts Of the same kind in the home market and
those who believe this policy to be disadvantage.
With the former, so far as they have personal
interest to serve, it will be difficult to undo the
teaching OF two three generations. So far as
they have such interest and are honestly convinc-
ed that what benefits them is a general benefit,
they cannot be persuaded. For the people as a
whole il would be a substantial advantage to adjust
the tariff upon a basis which would yield the need
ed revenue at the least cost 70 reelection with the
least interference with the natural course OF indus
try and trade in the country and with the smalles,
restriction upon commerce with other nations.

EASY SAILING
NOW FOR The
NEW TARIFF BILL
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, April 17,-Incip-
lent Democratic rebellion in the
House against the Administrations
tariff program having been crushed
by party caucus votes on free sugar
and wool, early conclusion of the
House caucus was predicted when the
Democratic tariff "pow-wow" was
continued this afternoon. Smooth
sailing for the Wilson Underwood
bill in the future was assured. Over
whelming votes OF the caucus to sus-
tain the President on the free sugar
and wool items in the Underwood
bill caused Democratic opposition to
melt away.
Schedule X. the wool section, was
considered today. following the deci-
sive vote late last night OF 100 to 2
sustaining the Presidents free wool
policy. The first vote was 179 70 AZ.
Afterward eleven more Democrats
climbed on the band-wagon" to
sustain the President and the Ways
and Means Committee.
Efforts to increase duties on man
ufactured wool products continued
today. but the Democrats opposing
tariff cuts provided in the new bill
will have lost hope OF prevailing
over the oommltts.
