IMPRESSIONS OF A HINDU
learned Eastern Visitor Frankly Con
tesses That He Is Unable to
Understand Americans.

Not seldom feel among Americans
as the Egyptian is said to have felt
among the Greeks that am moving
In a world Of precooious and ineXpe-
rienoed children, bearing on my own
shoulders the weight of the centuries.
Yet IL is not exactly that Americans
strike one as young in spirit: rather
they strike one as undeveloped II is
as though they had never faced life
and asked themselves what IL is; as
though they We're so occupied In run
ming that II has never occurred to
them TO inquire where they started
and whittier they are going. They
seem to be always doing and never ex-
periencing. A dimension of life. one
would say, is lacking, and they live
fin plane instead OF In solid. That
missing dimension | shall call religion.
Not that Americans do not. for aught
| know. believe" as much as or more
than Europeans; but they appear
neither TO believe nor to dishelieve
religiously. But even In Europe
and far more in Indla-there has al.
ways been. and still is a minority who
open windows TO the stars. and
through these windows in passing, the
plain man sometimes looks.-Rabin-
dfanath Tagore.

LET
FOR PLANT

The Edmore Light & Power Com
pany met Monday evening to open the
bids for the complete construction of
the new plant. Three companies bid
on the project: Mcclure Electric Co.,
of Grand Forks; a Mr.. Hyland, repre-
sentative of a Fargo company; and
Fairbanks, Morse Engine Co., which
last bid was On engine, dynamo and
machinery, without the pole line.
On opening the bids it was found
tina There was not a big difference be-
tween any Of the bids as rewards the
machinery and the price, the Mcclure
Company, however, slightly underbid
the other concerns and were awarded
the contract to build and complete the
plant and line for service for $3493.0 90,
without the building.
The plant is a high class one, guar
anteed to be exactly as specified and to
give satisfaction. The work of wiring
the houses will commence at once and
work on the pole line as soon as the
poles arrive, they being on the road
already.-Edmore Herald.

is YOUR BOY
YOUR PAL?

If your boy, in youthful exhubera-
ton and lack of foresight, should do
something that afterward he was
really ashamed of, would he come to
you, OWL up to it like a little man and
say he'd made a chump Of himself,
that he realized it and would never
do it again in just that way?? If not,
then there's something wrong with
you or with the boy. There's no better
way to raise a boy than to make apal
out of him. The mother should pal
with him ad the father should pal
with him. You should enter into that
wonderful brain your boy has and be-
come a part of his life. You should
get his view point-look at things as
he looks at them. Don't hold him
down and make a mollycoddle of him.
He is vibrant with the joys Of living.
He wants to know what life Is and is
perfectly willing, usually, to. live it as
it should be lived if you will show him
the way. Remember he has his rights
as you have. Remember that young
passions are powerful passions. They
need to be directed So that they will
become virtues. No boy that is worth
his salt wants to view life from the
inside of a wall. He wants to live
and he has the right to live. Don't
surround him with prohibitive laws
that make his. life miserable. Grown
people, even, won't stand that. Teach
him that, commands are to be obeyed,
but make those commands reasonable
and with atproper regard to the boys
liberty. Teach him proper personal.
conduct and after all, teach him to let
other people live.

When George Fawcett in the new Bosworth picture, ''The Majesty of the Law holds his transhxing eye upon his son who is refusing to explain the stolen jewels found in his coat pocket it seems a familiar moment; a "typi- cal George Fawcett moment,'' as one reviewer put it. The strange ability to maintain a burly, apparently pitiless outward demeanor and at the same time give a hint of the hidden agony in his heart has brought George Faw- cett to the pinnacle of dramatic s1c- cess not only in this country but in London as well. George Fawcett's s work Judge Randolph Kent of Vir- ginia is masterpiece of the old school gentleman with brusque manner, up- right deals and uncompromising honor.
 It will be especially enjoyed by in habitants or past-inhabitants of a county seat a representative type of a modern American town.
 The way life revoIves around ses- sions of the circuit court, such quaint, old fashioned touches as the family surrey with the fringed top, and a background of a. summer Chautauqua season and youths and maids in rub- ber-tired buggies-an this once seen can never be forgot.
 Life in such a town provides the charm of 'sThe Majesty of the Law,'' in which George Fawcett. the cele- brated American actor, is being starred for the first time in motion pictures which will be shown at Kee-

The story deals with an adventures who, being caught in the act of robbing her hus- band in order that she may, have money enough to elope with lover, shoots her husband and lays the blame upon the lover, who because of her crime, is in the act of leaving her for ever. As fate would have it a burglar witnesses the tragedy, but he is too in terested in profits through blackmail- in the real murderer to affect the re- lease of the lover. The lover is ac- cused of the crime, found guilty, but makes his escape from prison, during an uprising. How he vindicates him. self and brings home the crime to the guilty parties is one of the most in- teresting and fascinating parts of the story.

DEMANDS NOT GRANTED BY
 BALKAN NATIONS

Rome. Sept. 3-Revision of the treaty of Bucharest has been agreed on explicitly fby Serbia, Roumania and Greece, according to reports received here, but it is said these countries are not willing to satisfy entirely Bull garia's claims to territorial conpensa- tion for participation in the war.
 /The treaty of Bucharest which end- ed. the Balkan conflict following the victory over Turkey was signed Aug. 10, 1913. Bulgaria on the one hand and Roumania, Greece and Montene gro on the other.
 By the treaty the Romano-Bulgar- ian frontier starts from the Danu be above Turtukai and ends on the Black Sea, south of Eckran. The Serbo- Bulgarian frontier starts from the Partarika mountain and continues along the old Turko-BuIgarian iron tier the watershed between the Varda and Sturma and ends at the Mountain of Be1asshictza. The Greco-BuIgar- ian front starts on the crest of the Belashictza range.

At the perform tacle won great favor and numerous encores were sought by the pleased audiences.' The ensemble number at the conclusion of the act alone was a tremendous hit, while the individual offerings were everything that could be desired.
 Robert Conness, who used to be a stock player here, was welcomed in a screen drama ''The Stoning," This is @ powerful drama and gives to MT.

Mae Francis, the musical comedy sgirl,'' assisted by Piano Jones, were immense, critics agreed. Miss Francis is a very dainty come dienne of many talents and is ably as- sisted by MT.
