THE AUTO ON THE A R

The automobile has done much for
the farmer and his family. It has
been the of keeping thousands
of boys on the farm who would
otherwise have drifted to the. cities.
It has made the boys more contented
with farm life, because after the days.
work was done he had a new pleasure
to occupy his mind-the automobile
would take him through the country,
to town, or where he wished to go.
It would take him home in time for
a good nights rest, something his
driving horse would never do.
On the other hand, the motor car
has wiped away border lines; it has
brought the farm nearer the city; it
has increased the value of farm land.
The farmer has learned that the gas
engine will do almost any kind of
chores he has to do, and when some
thing breaks he can crank his auto
and run into town for a new part with
the loss of practically no time. For
the farmer who raises vegetables the
motor has brought better prices. 1t
has gotten his products to the market
earlier and when they are fresh. The
farmer does not have to start at 3
o'clock in the morning as does the
man who depends on the horse and
cart to carry his products.

The farmers, you know, pay rs per

seem quite fair for the farmers to

get less than rs per cent of the

states there are laws that compel
the graduates of the normal school

one year in the rural school, that is,
one of the two years. I don't know
as that would be quite just or fair
but still there should be something
Of that kind done. Mr.. Mcdonald
stands for good schools in the
country; equal chances for the farm

and girls, and 1 don't see any reason
why we should not have equal

need more normal teachers and more

Mcdonald stands for is educational

THE WESTERN NORMAL

The people of the southwestern
part Of the state are anxious for the
establishment of a normal school at
Dickinson. Both political parties are
committed to this in their state plat
forms. So far as we have been in
formed there was no opposition in
either party committee to a d%cclara-
ton favoring the location Of such an
institution west of the Missouri.
While u population is relatively
small, our territory is very large,
and this fact must be taken into ac-
count. 1t is to be hoped that we
have passed the "pork" period Of our
existence, and that there will here
after be no disposition to spend money
in one section because money has
been spent in another, and without re-
gard to the necessities of the case.
But on the basis of the actual neces-
sites of the case there are facts re-
lating to the Dickinson normal propo-
sition which must in Justice be given
consideration.
West of the Missouri there is a vast
territory, many sections of which are
already populous and thrifty, where
old cattle ranges have been broken
up into small and productive farms,
where dairying and diversified farm
ing generally are carried on in a
manner not excelled anywhere in the
state, a section dotted with progress
sive cities and villages, whose people
r contributing proportionately as
much to the development of the
state and to the support of it's gov
eminent and institutions as are the
people of any other section. And in
all that territory, many thousands of
square miles in extent, there is not
a single institution for the training
of those teachers upon whose eff
cheney the wellbeing of the state de-
ponds in such large measure. That
is the actual condition which exists.
The young nan or young woman who
The Dickinson press., 1916-10-07

desires to become fitted for the work
of teaching, if a resident Of that dis
trict, must travel several hundred
miles to receive that training.
It is upon this actual need that
the people of the western territory
base their demand for better normal
facilities, and it is in recognition of
the real need that exists that both
republican and democratic state COM
mittees have declared themselves IN
~equivocally in favor of the normal
west of the Missouri.

only save time and money, but or
Sunday or in the evening his family
can be whirled through the country to
visit distant friends. It will take the
family to church and many other
places that could not be reached

George Beban, Morosco- Paramount
Star.

George Beban, Morosco-Paramount
Star.
George Beban, the Morosco-Para-
mount star, is unquestionably the
greatest impersonator of Italian parts
in America.
He began his stage career at the
age Of eight as the boy baritone Of
California, touring the country in
concerts. Before he was out of his
teens he was the star madrigal singer
with a famous old minstrel troop. His
greatest popularity has been in screen
productions for the Paramount pre-
gram. His latest is "Pasquale."
AT the Lyric Thursday, October IL.
In the Lasky production Of "Sweet
Kitty Bcllairs," there is a sedan
chair used by Mae Murray, which is
an exact replica of the one designed
for the noted English beauty, Georgi-
anna, Duchess of Devonshire.
A strange coincidence is that the
book description of this event at
Bath remarks how "the Duchess Of
Devonshire bowed from her chair to
Miss Murray" The Miss Murray re-
ferred to in this ancient chronicle is
not the one who appears in the
Paramount picture.
At the Lyric Saturday, October IA.
Geraldine Farrar, the noted grand
opera prima donna and motion picture
star, will appear at the Lyric on
Tuesday, October 10th, in "Maria
Rosa" Wallace Reid appears in the
leading masculine role. It was dur
ing the making of this %photoplay that
! Miss Farrar met and fell in love with
Mr.. Lou ellegen, whom she recently
married. Three years ago when Mr..
Lou-Tellegen came to the United
States to make his debut on the
American stage as an English speak
ing actor, he chose, as his first play,
"Maria Rosa"
Anita Stewart, leading woman in
"The Suspect" was born in Brooklyn,
New York. She attended public
school and graduated as the youngest
member in her class. From there
she went to Erasmus High School,
and while there studied vocal music
and piano under the direction of Mrs.
Mary Cunning, mother and teacher of
Louis Cunning, the operate star.
In private life Miss Stewart is the
sister-in-law of MI. Ralph Ince, the
famous Vitagraph director and actor.
It was through him that she. secured
her first position with the Vitagraph
Company. For the first six months
she did, little other than extra work,
appearing in unimportant characters.
But she vas learning the rudiments
Of the picture game from the ground
up.
Her first part Of any Importance
was the lead in "The Wood Violet"
a sort Of primitive little lady who was
brought to New York as a rich mans
wife. She soon tires Of the veneer of
society and returns to her native
haunts, only to be followed later by
her husband, who truly loves her.

WOODEN FENCES ARE

So Says Baltimore Health Commission.
er In Advising Their Destruction.

Baltimore.-Get rid of the wooden
fences and you will get rid of rats
flies and mosquitoes. SO says Dr.. Joh1
d. Blake, health commissioner of this
city. DR.. Blake believes that much dis
ease and sickness is brought about by
the wooden fence.
The wooden fence prevents the prop
er circulation of air." the commissioner
said. Persons living in houses sur.
rounded by high wooden fences do not
get the real benefits Of pure, fresh air
This is detrimental to the health.
rats, flies and mosquitoes carry
germs and spread disease. To do away
with disease we must exterminate
these. The dilapidated wooden fence
attracts bugs of all descriptions. Rats
gnaw at the wood and dig holes under
and around it. These holes become
filled with water and in time are breed
ing places for flies and mosquitoes
'"The fact that the wooden fence
hides all this dirt and filth is a power
full argument why it should be done
away with. What woman would al
low dirt, garbage and other refuse mat
ter to collect in her back yard if she
thought her neighbors saw it?''

CAN'T KEEP BOY OUT OF WAR.
American Youth Resists All Efforts to
Send Him Home

London.-Norman Bruce Wallis, an
eighteen-year-old American from New
Orleans, enlisted as a private in the
British army some months ago. Three
attempts have been made by his fam
lily, through the American embassy, to
get him back to the United States, but
the lad is still in the army, fighting in
France with Scottish regiment.
When he was released from his regi-
ment the first time and arrangements
made for his passage to America he
missed the connection by enlisting in
another regiment. All the formalities
for his release were again gone
through, and an official Of his embassy
personally installed him in the home of
some friends to await the sailing date
of the boat in which his passage had
been taken.
Wallis, however, returned to his old
regiment, where, through misunder-
standing, he was arrested for deser-
ton. Punishment was ayerted by Off
cial explanations, and today Wallis
now known as Norman Macgregor
Bruce-is with his unit in France.

Deep BREATHING.

Declaring that the benefits of deep
breathing are overestimated, a medical
person says: "When person breathes
very 'eeply he exercises the muscles
of his chest, shoulders and abdomen,
and tlr-.t is good for him. He drives
some BLOOD from his trunk into his
feet and hands. If his feet and hands
are cold that increases his comfort.
These are real advantages of deep
breathing exercises once or twice q
day." Also, when an American citi-
zen is indulging in deep breathing he
cannot talk.
