THRILLS, GIRLS AND COMEDY
Triangle Night at Caughren Will Pre-
sent a Varied Program-Helen
Ware Headliner.

The Triangle program at the
Caughren Friday evening promises tt
be as interesting and attractive as in
the past. Helen Ware in across Cur.
rents" will be the headliner. The
story of the feature follows:
Elizabeth Crane became engaged tt
marry Paul Beele. She had foster.
sister Flavia, who was about to re-
turn to America whom she decided
not to tell of her engagement. Because
of her girlish charm and beauty Fla
via won the hearts of all, including
Paul. Finally Elizabeth released Paul
and he and Flavia were married.
A yachting trip was arranged to
which Flavia, Elizabeth and Paul were
invited. A storm at sea wrecked the
vessel, and Paul and Elizabeth were
cast upon desert island. There they
lived for many months and the old
love returned.
In the meantime Flavia was mirac-
ulously saved. A baby has been born
to her, and she has a vision that her
husband was saved. The climax is
truly tragic and artistic.
Weber and Fields will be seen in
their side-splitting farce, "The Worst
of Friends" Of course with Weber
and Fields one associates pretty girls.
They will be there in droves in Friday
evenings comedy. One show only at
8:15; admission 20 cents.

COMMISSION is ORGANIZED

At meeting of the newly appoint
ed charter commission held at the
Commercial Club rooms Monday even
ing of this week organization was
perfected by naming John McGibbon
as chairman, and electing M. D. Ay-
garn as secretary. On reading over
the statute providing for the appoint
ment of charter commissions it was
found that the qualifications were a
freeholder and resident of the mu-
nicipality for at least five years. This
provision of the law made Frank
Dodge and V. G. Wedge ineligible. The
names of S. P. Hansen and A. G. Sal
mond have been recommended to the
District court to succeed Messrs.
Dodge and Wedge. The commission
will work informally until their num-
Der is complete. The secretary was.
instructed to get in touch with the
Minnesota Municipal League and have
the organization furnish what mater
ial they can to assist the local body
in perfecting a suitable charter for

oisms of the world are at an end; that
the loftiest deeds are all accomplish
ed. There are other men who have
never seriously charged themselves
with solemn responsibility for the pro-
gress of the world. Their interests
in the collective life of mankind is
limpid and languid. They assume in
a vague way that the world governs
itself; that such progress as they see
about them is a causeless automatic
movement, and that the individual has
little to do with it. There are others
who are deliberately hostile to the
progressive spirit. They have what
they want, and are content. What
others want and need is no concern to
them. I do not know how far we de-
serve to be enrolled in these categor-
les, but / do know that the spirit of
Joshua finds no congenial place in any
such enrolment, nor has there ever
been a great man willing to be found
among such.
"There is another, and perhaps a
larger class who are equally incap-
able of attempting the tolls of pro-
gress, but for different reason. 1t
is not that they are not interested in
progress, not that they are not SEN
sitive to its spirit, not even that they
are not anxious to share it's triumphs.
Their error lies in the fact that they
have never discovered that there is a
definite and strenuous preparation of
life-a preparation which is mainly of
the heart and character needed before
man is capable of heroic action. The
only rational definition of success is,
the union of ability and opportunity.
"Joshua's rise to the captaincy Of
Israel was not an accident-it was a
sequence. 1t was not an arbitrary Sc
lection, but necessary one. He had
toiled all his life for this day, not con-
sciously, perhaps, not ambitiously, but
with the divine foresight which pre-
pares the man for Gods occasions.
BE We also ready was the Masters
word. When men fail in heroism and
leadership it is usually because they
have not enough faith in God and
themselves for the hour and the call.

upon our lips than The Battle of Life

most at the beginning of his discourse
to note the absence of the Stars and
Stripes in the hall decorations and
commented that no school function
was complete without Old Glory in
evidence.
He pointed out that one-fifth of the
population of the United States were
in the public schools, being moulded
into loyal American citizens by an ar
my of teachers, and that it was the
greatest preparedness which this
country might hope for. He cited that
in these schools were children of every
nationality on earth, the blend of all
nations, all being good Americans. He
said that in all his travels he found
few people who were not glad that
they lived in the United States and
urged those who were not satisfied to
buy ticket and go to Mexico or Tur-
key, that being the worst he could
wish them.
To the class he made three recon-
mendations, to believe in themselves,
to believe in their country and to be-
lieve in God. He did not mean that
the class should become conceited, ex-
pressing his belief that they perhaps
had enough conceit now. but without
certain amount Of self-assurance eff
fciency and success in life work was
impossible. He pronounced as fall
lacy that the world owed any man a
living, that the world does not owe
any man a cent, and that the proper
living is always to give and give of
your best.
Speaking of belief in country he
said he has yet to find the town in the
United States where the hyphen tran
sends Americanism and that talk OF
race menace is bombast of politicians
He expressed belief that if the bell
sounded the alarm of war, all Amer
leans would stand shoulder to Shout
der, no matter of what heritage
against the flags of all nations. Poly
glot nation as it is, he expressed faith
in it and again urged all who did not
to migrate to other lands.
Speaking of belief in God he said
no nation has ever become great that
neglected it's affairs Of Jehovah. He
contended that America, in all its
greatness, if it believed in everything
but God, it would soon be marking
time to the tune of past empires. In
the fallen nations reverence leaked
out and self pride came in with de.
structiveness.

we may entertain concerning man,
than that he is born to combat, and
there is nothing that does so much to
develop the heroic fibre in men as the
deliberate conviction that struggle is
the normal condition, and appointed
discipline Of all life. 1t is this COM
bative energy which should be the
pride of youth. Yet, of how many
young men is it true today, that they
have never grasped this vital fact
that life is combat. They are inten-
sely Interested in their pleasures, but
not in their duties. Great causes arise
great programs are in the air, but
their hearts receive no thrill, there is
not thirst for heroic action.
"The question now is, when will men
learn-when will they understand that
there is but one right thing in all the
world, and that their only safety, their
only success, is in doing that? When
will they learn that Jesus spoke the
exact truth when he described man
kind as sheep and goats, as good and
evil, as for him or against him, and al
lowed no other description of the hui
man race as possible, no other position
as tenable to any man?
"Moses is dead, and the people
mourn a great leader; but in Joshua
they have hopeful successor. Hear
his, BE thou strong and of good cour-
age; be not afraid, neither be thou
dismayed; only be strong and of good
courage Such is the proclamation as
he stands over the grave of Moses. 1t
does US good to hear that note, even
from the distant past. We need to
hear that note oftener than we do in
these days. The fight, my young
friends, for God and truth, for reform
and liberty, does not grow Stacker
There is but one source to which we
can look in the day of struggle; not
to the weak; not to the man of double
mind; not to the men of two conscien-
ces; but to the men of definite con-
vlctlons and intense action. We have
right to look to the young, you who
are being prepared in these days in
the school and the church; this is
your prerogative, this is your glory
your crown. 1t will be to your eternal
shame if you disobey the summons to
go forward into your inheritance" &
