When he saw that Gilmartin had al
ready had an opportunity to state his
side of the case he fairly boiled over.
He thereupon surrendered the
mans parole and said that he would
see to it that the man went down
again to Joliet. There was nothing
for the indignant police sergeant to
do but lock Gilmartin in a cell.
But several people had overheard
the argument. They sympathized
with the convict. They were enraged
at Baldwin's action. Even the police,
who are naturally skeptical about an
ex-convict, believed that here was
one that deserved chance.
Rev. Elmer Williams was called on
the telephone. He launched into
beautiful description of the Chris
tian-Iike work done by his friend,
Lucky.
Then Williams was told about Gil
martin. He was of the opinion that
there must be some real reason for
it. Then he was Informed that a
newspaper story might be written.
All! that put a different complexion
on the case. Williams is very sensi-

fairly bathed in it for awhile. He
promised to talk to Baldwin.
When sufficient time had elapsed
for Williams to talk to Baldwin, the

UNIONS
FOR SUFFRAGE
CALGARY TRADES COUNCIL HAS
ALLIED ITSELF WITH WoMAN's
SUFFRAGE LEAGUE AND WILL.
HELP WITH PASSAGE OF
MEASURE.

Calgary, Alberta, June 21.-The Cali
gary Trades hi Labor council has
allied itself with the Calgary Woman's
Suffrage league and will use its. in
ftuence and power to secure for the
women of this city the complete fran
chise, which at the present time APP
pears to be within the latter's grasp.
Not long ago the city council went on
record as favoring votes for women
and even went so far as to practically
guarantee them equal privileges with
men as quickly as the necessary
legal forms which must be passed
through, could be completed. In the
meantime, however, the city solicit
tor, brought in an opinion on the mat.
ter stating that in order to give the
women the franchise, it was first ne
cessary to amend the city charter,
which cannot be done without the
consent of the provincial legislature.
Fearing that their cause, which
seemed SO nearly won, might languisfl
during the charter controversy, the
Women's Suffrage league redoubIed
its efforts with the immediate result
that the Trades and Labor council
was won over to their side and gained
as a powerful and willing ally.
Working hand in hand the two Or
CARNATIONS have mapped out a pro-
gramme calculated to keep the matter
fresh in the minds of the city council
that they ma not forget their promise
to grant them the franchise. At4the
present time there is every indica-
tion that the of this city will
go to the polling booths on election.

commencement recital.

The commencement recital, by grad
yates from h Fargo conservatory,
was held In the Congregational church,
thursday evening. In Importance and
dignity 1t approximated a professional
concert. A goodly audience was pres
ent and that it was pleased is beyond
question:. Considering all the engage
ments incident to the
OF Fargo college of which the conserv-
atory is a department the number pres
ent was very encouraging.
Ihere were seven numbers on the
programme, we of them by the Fargo
college orchestra, the opening and
closing number. The college is very
proud of that organization n it may
Well be. Impressive numbers on the
programme presented by Director Orr
and the faculty were the foul piano

IN the general u of commencement
concerts, lent a varied tone-color to a
programme which would have been
rather monotonous had only a second
piano been used to accompany the solo
parts. All concerned did so well, and
reflected so much credit to the institu-

Der which stood out alone, a group of
two compositions, played on the great
organ of the church by Miss Clara A.
Pollock, Bach's Prelude and Fugue in
G minor, and an intermezzo by Rogers.
Miss Pollock gave beautiful interpre-

Dairy Farm in Massachusetts.
St. Louis Republic: David T.
Houston, secretary of agriculture,
will spend his holidays this summer
on a model Massachusetts dairy farm
in actual contact with many phases
of the agricultural situation of to-
day.
The Houston's are soon to occupy
the bungalow at Seven Gates farm,
Martha's Vineyard. The farm itself
is one. of the most, delightful parts of
the vineyard, famed for its inter-
minglings of the sea shore and the
hills.
Here Wil1oughby Webb, a. Washing
ton lawyer, is directing an interesting
experiment in scientific dairying. Mr.
Webb has continued to add to his pos
sessions until now the farm covers
approximately 1000 acres.
He has hundreds of acres of meadow
and pasture land. The dairy is con-
structed of concrete. 1T is small but
perfectly equipped. Extensive COW
barns lie just across the road. The
houses of the farm hands are connect
ed by telephone and the system has
even been extended to the hen houses.
Originally Mr.. Webb planned to pro-
duce milk as a medicine rather than
as a beverage, but the of the
farm are now turned almost wholly to
butter making. Seven Gates supplies
butter for n of the most famous
clubs in the countryside Chevy Chase
