Fashion show De Luxe

"Andreas DIPPED, the producer of the
Lilac Domino which plays a two-day
engagement at the Jefferson today and
tomorrow, has discovered great Sc
cret" said Brown Parks. He states the
best persuader for pretty, talented, worth
while chorus girls to leave New York and
go on tour is stunning costumes. Salary
has nothing to do with 1t. The average
chorus girl is satisfied with the standard
wage as long as she remains in the cho-
rus. According to Mr.. Dippel, chorus
girl will follow q number of pretty cos
tunes made especially for her all over
the country.
This brings on more talk about the
feminine weakness for clothes. The cho-
rus and principals of the Lilac Domino
are so well costumed that it has be-
come known as the fashion show de
luxe The girls themselves are satisfied
to call themselves the 'Paquin Girls
after the famous Partisan modiste,
who designed some of the costumes
that will be seen on the stage

late for him IT, do anything to coun-
teract the Effect of DR.. Burchard's
ill-considered ALTERATION. up to that
moment he wss as good as elected, but
within "a hours many of his Irish fol-
lowing left him. They felt outraged
that one of Blaine's ministerial friends
had spoken with opprobrium of their
religion.
The Sunday papers bristled with
communications of protest. AS it
turned out, Cleveland barely carried
New York. Had it not been for
Burchard, Blaine's plurality would
have been overwhelming.
The defeated candidate was an ex-
tremely sensitive man, and his defeat
was all the harder to bear in view of
the circumstances. If he did not ex-
claim, Deliver me from my friends"
he doubtless felt it.
Hapgood's idle remark, referred to
by the writer in the Sun as "Wilson
boomerang" was not in the nature of
a boomerang at all. 1t was scarcely
worth second thought.

None Can Tell

II am getting tired reading the pre-
dictions of people in regard to the
presidential race" said George Low
man. ITO tell the truth, l do not be-
lieve there is man in the United
States that can dope out the true sit
uation. 1 only hope Wilson will win
in a walk. If he does not / hope the
country will continue in the same man
ner with little more prosperity for
the south.
"In the meanwhile / am figuring out
how things will be when this war in
Europe is over AS for the Mexican
situation, 1 have long since decided
that they were going to fight until
half the race was exterminated. This
Villa is knotty problem and has
used up more good white paper in the
news items than any other living des-
perado on the face of the globe. 1t
seems to me the country will be just
as prosperous at the conclusion OF the
war as it is at present, If not more so.
Those fighting nations have done lot
of damage and no doubt the suffer-
ing has been intense. The work of re-
Mobilization will mean American-made
products and this will keep us busy
for sometime"

rouriuts FLOCK TO South

THE little cold wave that swept
over the north resulted in big in
crease in travel southwark from CHI
cago and the middle west" D. T. Blake,
city ticket agent for the Illinois Cen
trail, said yesterday. "The conductor
on the Seminole limited reported that
there were 1857 passengers bound for
Florida on the train Wednesday.
This is unusually heavy traffic for
October, but I believe that it will keep
UP. The people in the north seem to
have a large store of funds, due to
the prevailing prosperity there, and
are going to come southwark in big
numbers this season. There can be no
travel to Europe, hence more OF
big money will be DETECTED south
ward.
ITO give you an indication of how
extensive the increase is for the first
time in 10 months, there was not a
single lower berth forwarded for book

FOOTBALL PLAYERS
TO BE NUMBERED

There is every Likelihood that in
future years players on the various
football aggregations throughout this
country will be numbered. At a re-
cent meeting Of the Football Advisory
Committee it was unanimously decid'
ed that members of the Yale college
eleven would be thus ornamented and
it is thought by those in a position
to know that other colleges will fol-
low suit. High school and other teams
will undoubtedly follow the plan map
ped out by the older gridiron stars
and the result will be pleasing to
everyone who attends any such con.
tests. ~
The numbers will be worn on the
backs of the players and will in no
way interfere with their playing.
There are many phases to this rul'
ing that will be appreciated by those
in attendance at the various games.
Take, for example, a total stranger
witnessing a game between two teams
about which the only thing he knows
is the names of the contesting elev-
ems. Should No. 9 make spectacular
run, tackle or touchdown, the stran-
ger would merely have to refer to mis-
program to determine just who this
player is. In many instances the play
is across the field from the spectator
and even if he should be familiar
with the names and faces Of the play.
ers it would be impossible for him to
distinguish just who it was from that
distance. A fiaring number can be
seen for many hundred years and Sc
the result will be greatly beneficial
to those in attendance.

FILINGS ON
LAND TODAY
Those Who Drew Lucky Mum
bers Last Fall, Make elec-
tions at Minot.

Minot, n. D.. May 1.--JHdge John
McPhaul of Washington. superintend-
ent of Indian reservation openings,
arrived in the city this morning, to
have supervisory charge of the filings
on the Fort Berthold reservation lands
which were opened for filing last fall.
The filing started at 8 o'clock this
morning at the local Land Office, on
the third floor Of the pOstofiice build
ing in this city, and ample accommo-
dations have been arranged for the
convenience Of those who are entitled
to make the filings, according to the
numbers drawn last fall.
In an interview this morning Judge
McPhaul was emphatic in his declara-
lions that the government would not
tolerate any attempt at grating or
Overcharging on the part of locaters
who may be employed by flers. These
locators, he said, are on the govern
ment land by sufferance, and at the
least hint of overcharging or of at
tempting to get more than their SER
vices are worth will result in the gov
eminent withdrawing all means of To-
cation from them. 1t is the intention
of the federal land department to pro-
test fully the people who are making
homestead entries.
The qualifications of those who may
make filing is matter Of some in
quiry. Native born citizens of the
United States must be 81 years of
age, or else the head of a family. If
the actual and bona fide head Of a
family they need not be 81 years old
in order to file. This applies to either
men or women. Foreign born citizens
must have their first naturalization
papers at least: If they have taken
out their final papers these must be
produced. In no case must the appli-
cant own more than 100 acres of land
in the United States.
Fifty names were called Monday,
and the same number will be called
on Tuesday. After that time 100

City Youths Have Decided Adj.
vantage in the Athletic
World,

Is the city bred or the country bred
boy the best athlete? Each has his
advantages and disadvantages. Prob
ably the best way to answer is to go
right down TO the bottom of the sub
ject and consider details.
Many athletes are made. Many are
born. The athlete born with ability
and instinct is superior. 1t takes
years for the made athlete to acquire
what the born athlete starts with.
How many fathers of country boys
have had experience in athletics and
encouraged their sons to follow
sport? They are few and far be-
tween. Country parents are likely to
lean toward development of the mind
Notwithstanding so the body. 1t is
true the country boy gets plenty Of
exercise in helping with the work
around his home, but the wrong set
of muscles for athletics is developed
in this work. He may be able to
walk farther. pitch hay longer. or cut
more wood than his city rival, but
when It comes to the final test on the
athletic field he will find himself lack
ing in finesse.
City Encourages Athletics.
In the city from early childhood
the boys mind and body are develop.
ed at the same time. He is encourag-
ed to follow athletics. Physical cul-
ture exercises, which are compulsory
in the grammar, high, and prepara-
tory schools and colleges, are the best
example Of this.
In the country at the little red
school house there are scarcely
enough students to compose a base
ball nine or football team. AS a gen.
eral rule they take little interest in
track athletics They play one old
cat, scrub, or some game which does
not require eighteen players. YIny
know little of the fine points of any
game, and their competitive work
would be crude if compared with that
Of boys of their own age from e city
school who have enjoyed coaching.
Another advantage in favor of the
city boy is that he has opportunities
to see the big teams play and gather
pointers from their work. Chose
boys have some player whom they
consider a star in the branch OF ath-
letics they are intending to fellow
and they set him up as a model and
endeavor to follow and copy his ac-
tions as closely as possible. They
read books which give them helpful
advice, and in many cases they know
some college graduate who gives
them instructions in their chosen line
Country Boy Must Be Taught.
These are ADVANTAGES which the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-05-02
BOYS OF THE CITIES
BETTER AT SPORTS
THAN COUNTRY BRED

country boy does not have. He has
no early instruction. When he is
sent away to college and goes on the
athletic field he finds out for himself
how sadly lacking in athletic ability
and knowledge he is. He will have
to learn all the points which the city
bred boys had been taught in high
school. In many cases they do not
master anything until the close Of
their second year, and as a result
have lost one year Of competition. In
natural strength and health the coun-
try boy is likely to prove superior.
Many a youngster is trained and
developed when still mere child by
an athletically inclined father. The
father takes pride in this work and
notes the gradual advancement of his
youngster and helps him at every
turn. He buys him all the parapher-
MALTA needed he takes him to the
large athletic events and attends all
the games his boy takes part in. The
son, seeing this interest in his well
fare, will take more interest in the
sport himself and gradually will
reach a high point Of proficiency.
Tournaments Held in Cities.
In cities tournaments are held for
The members of the various play
grounds. lnterpark contests are con-
Quoted and the rivalry which exists
between some of them has spurred
the athletes to greater efforts. Every
thing possible is done by the direct
nrs to improve the performances Of
their respective members.
Considering these points and ad-
vantages which the city bred boy
has over the country boy, it must be
said that the city athlete should ex-
eel in the various lines of athletic
endeavor. OF course there have been
exceptions, but in the majority of cas-
es the most finished athletes are bred
in the city.

Pfth of the sunfIoN.er stsIIx.

The sundower is cultivated to con siderable extent in central Russia, where every part of the plant is put to certain economic uses. The discovery of the extreme lightness of che pfth of the stalks essentially increased the commercial value of the plant. This light cellular substance is Inow care fully removed from the stalk and ap- piled to a good many important uses. One of it's chief uses is the making of life saving appliances. Cork with a bueyancy of one to five and reindeers hair with one to ten has been used. The pith of the sundower has a buoy aney of one to thirty-fve. The latter can be used advantageously in the construction of boats and life preserv- CTS.
