James A. Clarity was locked in one
of the cells at the county Jail acct
dentally yesterday while holding a con-
ference with a client. However, Sher-

the tension and Attorney Sharp's Of

and fresh air. Mr.. Clarity admits
there is a wide difference between real
and accidental Imprisonment.

CONCERT WAS A
HUGE SUCCESS
AUDITORIUM PACKED LAST NIGHT
TO HEAR SPLENDID PROGRAM
ARRANGED FOR DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATION - FINEST ENTER
TAINMENT ON RECORD.

The auditorium of the state normal
school was never so closely packed
with humanity as 1t was last night, the
occasion of the splendid entertainment
arranged for the benefit of the Mime
sofa Red River Valley Development as
ISOLATION, the proceeds to be USED 10
defray the expenses of the great deYe-
lopment meeting to be held IN MOOT
head, June rs and 26.
The monster audience left the build
ing OVerwhelminlY impressed with de-
light after hearing the rich and rare
offerings which were presented on the
program, fourteen big numbers COM
mented upon as the best entertainment
of a public nature ever offered IN the
city. Every number contributed may
very properly be referred to as an ar
tistic gem and to Miss Maude Hayes,
the stage director, and really the crea-
tive spirit Of the formative lines of the
entertainment, is due congratulations
which should be ~hall-marked top, bot
tom, sides and edges. Every program
ed number worked as smoothly as
though governed by a master clock
not a hitch or a mar anywhere and
that is a great deal to say when there
were about 100 persons contributing,
but Miss Hayes had the fullest conffd-
enCe in the training of her aides and
so the features appeared promptly &C
cOrding to the program. The latter
was one of features from beginning to
end.
The reviewer has not the time or
space today to comment on all of the
individual numbers, but all of the rem
ditions were performed artistically n
If encOres had been allowed it would
have been day light before the pro-
gram reached it's finale, a rich offering
by the Norrona Male chorus. That
MoOrhead has a wonderful array of
talent was roven last night and it pro-
duced its best for the enterprise which
was the beneficiary. The most genuine
thanks are due everybody who assisted
and We bespeak the expression on be-
half Of the gentlemen comprising the
committee of seventeen.

When the district court opened this

Clerk of Court McCubrey has been in
formed by the government that federal
attorneys have ruled that the Mime
sofa primary election to be held on
June 16 is a general election, and that
under this ruling it has been necessary
to change the date set for the granting
or citizenship papers in Clay county.
The federal law provides that naturali-
zation papers must be granted at least
thirty days before a general election.
The date originally set for the exam
~ination of applicants for citizenship
and the granting of papers was Mon
day May IS. This was less than thirty
before the primary election, and
the ruling of the government attorneys
makes 1t necessary to postpone the
date. The citizenship examination has
therefore been set for Aug. 10, when
all petitions originally set for hearing
on May IS will be acted upon. The
special term Of district court opens
Auf. IL, and the preceding day has been
set aside for action upon naturalization
applications.

She Knew,

London Tit-Bits: 1t was young Mrs.
Robinson's first dinner party, and she
was suffering all the usual terrors Of
the inexperienced hostess.
However, the cook rose to the oc-
casion ~splendidly, n so far as the
dinner itself was concerned, Mrs. Rob-
inson was delighted.
The only fly in the ointment was
Jane. Jan was the new parlor maid;
she was slow, clumsy and her waiting
was bad. But. in addition to these
faults, she insisted on keeping her
mouth wide open.
This so got on Mrs. Robinson's nerves
that at last she exclaimed:
Jane, your mouth Is wide open!"
Jane withdrew her gaze from the
ceiling and said, looking down with a
CHEEKY smile:
II know it is, ma'am, I opened it
myself"

Reading Poetry Aloud.

How many lovers OF poetry find time
to read and hat quiet which permits
one to read in a low voice? Public
readings answer a need of our time;
they tend to set UP an opposition to
the surrounding turnult- Who knows
but that the poem, says M. Henri
Gheon, by its enforced ~seclusion, runs
the risk of losing little by little that
authentic life which it owes to human
speech, and which 1T will always find
therein so long, as speech is divorced
from poetry. We read too much with
our. eyes, in freeing poetry from the
book are we not restoring it to its true
destiny

Grain Opinions.


Bartlett Frazier & Co.: General
wheat conditions could not be improv-
ed upon. We would not buy corn.
King Farnum: We see no reason to
maintain present wheat values. Cur
rent prices Of corn and oats seem
largely to have discounted bearish fac
tors.
Ware & Leland: The elimination of
a large part Of the short interest n
splendid corr prospects make wheat
look lower. With the conclusion OF
short covering corn prices should re-
lax. Oats prices are likely to recede
from this level.
L,amson Bros: The brilliant wheat
prospect is offset by the low supplies,
the total IN Chicago being only, a lit.
tie over 1000, 900 bushels. about half OF
which is in public elevators. An IN
creased run of corn is expected atter
planting. but the interior demand IS
rry:ected to :ake Care of the bulk.

Cannot Ston Sale Of Reer.

Judge Roeser of St. Cloud, led a de-
clsion with the clerk of court of Otter
Tail county, Saturday, o~verruling the
contention of attorney for the city Of
Fergus Falls in the brewery case tried
there some time ago. The case is one
in which Mr.. Qualley bought beer at
the brewery in five gallon quantities
and gave some of it away before ieav-
ing the city. He was fined $50 for Civ
ing 1t away n the brewery was fined
SIS for selling it to him. The court
simply passes on the question of the
right of the brewery to sell here at
wholesale for outside consumption. and
holds that it has such a right.
In his decision and one of the closing
paragraphs the court says: Outside
of the city limits of Fergus Falls the
consumption of liquor is not prohibited
except in certain restricted districts
and all breweries of the state have the
right to sell their product in such open
territory: By upholding the contention
OF the city the Fergus Brewing COM
pany would be prohibited from doing
what all other breweries of the state
are permitted to do and thereby a great
injustice would be done to that parti.

the leader yesterday and many shorts
covered at the advanced prices. The
strength here was a little surprising
in view Of the excellent crop news,
but abroad it was due to less favor
able reports from northern France and
