OUR NIGHT TO HOWL

We have been good so long that we
were beginning to get scairt of our
self. When we donned our vestments
we scanned them carefully to see if
holes had not been cut in the shoul-
ders of our garments so wings could
sprout. We had even begun to look
around for some one to give US les
sons on the harp. We haven't Wiped
a discordant zip for so long a time
that we had begun to fear the power
to grumble and glover had become a
lost art with us. We have grown old,
fat and respectable and have become
too indolent to sling language in the
way it ought to be slung. We haven't
vocabbed our vocabulary so long that
we had come to the conclusion that
we could no longer explete explosives.
When, however, as has lately occur
red, SNUG speakers and sychophantic
papers began to liken Uncle Sans
officialdom, both elective and appoint
i've, to huge elemosynary institution,
a sort of alms-giving refuge of in
competents and people too feeble or
too lazy to properly perform their du-
ties we suddenly remembered that we
were a lone wolf from Bitter creek
and it was our night to howl.
We weep tears of regretful regret
that we are not master of more
tongues than were babed at Babel so
that we could cuss in manner meet and
proper those orchid individuals, who,
In order to curry favor with the I'M
thinking, dare to insinuate that Uncle
Sans hired men and women, both CIV
IL and military, are not the bravest,
truest, honestest, faithfulest, compe-
tentest, capablest, bulliest lot of en-
ployes in the whole blooming universe.
We want to grab our snickersnee
and snick the everlasting lights and
livers out of the slanderous snobs who
subtly stulify the sp'Aldid men and
women who have given the best yeas
of their lives to public service and
who snakily intimate that these same
men and women are not giving value
received for their rccompense.
We forget that there is frost on
our temples; that our joints are rusty;
that our breath comes in wheezes;
that kids call US "Grand-dad;" once
more the red blood of youth chases
through our veins with the crazy

Hughes and Wilson We'd with each
other in pronouncing funeral oratlons
over departed Progressivism with the
President hair-breadth ahead. Fun
nv, isn't it, that neither Mr.. Hughes
or Mr.. Wilson never discovered what
a great party the Progress'ves were
until after they were dead.
Of unbroken platform pledges, such
as the one-term plank and others, the
President says nothing; he IS wise
enough to know when there is nothing
to say, to say nothing.
He cannily refrains from replying
directly to the violent criticisms OF
i.is administration made by his oppon-
ents, thus compelling them to
specify and directly point out the
disastrous results, if any there be.
The speech is full of glittering gen
eralties and abstruse automatic prop
ositions cunningly set forth.
He is strongly for the things every
body is for and overwhelmingly
against those that everybody IS
against.
1t is strangely lacking in affirma-
ton and definite pledge, but this is
modern politics.

and avoidance; great speech for the
defense.

Following the recent hearing at orion

mittee Of the Tri-State Flood Control
Association was held, when the following
business was transacted.
Executive Committee Meets
The secretary reported that the cities
of New Ulm, Ortonville and Fargo had
subscribed each 500 to the expense fund

committee their subscriptions for like
amounts would be forthcoming.
It was decided to print and circulate
1000 copies of the proceedings Of the

the members of the legislature of the
three states interested in the present
movement, and the Congressional dele
cations of these states.
Drafts of bills are TO be drawn and sub

The duty OF getting the bills to be
submitted to the various legislatures is
to be left to the following gentlemen: S..
p. Oscarson, for South Dakota; Mr..
Rustad for Minnesota, and H. F. Emery
for North Dakota.
The legislative committee was instruct

ANOTHER BIG PICTURE

THE Crisis, a powerful American
photo-war-drama, based on Winston
Churchil's novel of the same name. will
be shown for the first time at the LvYic
Theatre, Minneapolis, the Sunday after
noon before Christmas The engage
ment will continue throughout the
Christmas and Newly ears holiday seq
son, with two performances daily. at
2:15 and Sis p. m.
The Crisis, which is owned bv the.
Sherman-Elliott Company of Mime
apolis, who sprang into national prorni-
hence thru their expert handling of s'The
Birth OF a Nation, was made for them
by William N. Selig, recognized as true
wizard OF the screen. Mr.. Selig followed
closely the story of the struggle of the
North and South, as told in Churchill's
world-famous novel, and, for the first
time IN the history of photoplay con-.
structlon, staged the scenes in the exact
localities in which they occurred. +.
Inc drama reaches a powerful climax.
IN the battle of Vicksburg, fought by
Land and water forces around the historic
city OF the Mississippi, Mr.. Selig re-
quilt the, crude river battle-boats of the
period, and reconstructed the sand-bag
1ortltlcatlons. Veterans of both North
ana South, who participated in the
battle, and who have seen the film at
private showings, pronounce the repro
duct1on perfect in every detail.
Another striking feature of s.The.
orlsls IS remarkably human Lincoln
played by Sam D. Drano. Lincoln is a
vital character in the plot of Mr.. Church
IFS story, and Mr.. Selig spent more time.
and patience finding an actor for this
difficult role than in casting all of the.
rest OF the play put together. The result.
is a Lincoln who has startled persons
that knew the Martyred President in
life. The St. Louis slave market and
the fall Of Fl. Sumpter are other sen.
satlonal triumphs of the play. A special
musical score, based on popular patriotic.
and romantic themes, has been prepare,
and will be rendered by a symphof,
orchestra of forty. At night, the prie
will range from Is cents to one doll. =

SEALS ARE
SELLING VERY RAPIDLY

Health Commissioner O. J. Seifert re-
ports the sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals has been much more general than
had been anticipated. He expects the
sale will go very much higher during the
last few days before Christmas.
Z DR.. !. ]. Murphy Of St. Paul, in charge
Of the campaign, says the sales in, tie
state are now estimated to reach $780,
600 by the time the campaign closes on
Christmas Eve.
"Their sale will exceed all previous
records" he declares. This means
that fund Of approximately $4,000
will be raised for the state wide war
against tuberculosis
One-half Of the money collected in
each town or community is left in that
place for use by the local authorities in
the employment of visiting nurses or for
such use as may seem best for the work
for which the money is intended.
DR.. Murphy declares that the expense
of conducting the campaign and collect
ing the $4,000. will be about 10 per cent,
which is said to be much less than the
amount used by similar organizations in
this and other states.

CATHOLIC PEOPLE TO
BUILD A NEW CHURCH

St. Marys Catholic church, which
was organized some three years ago, will
build handsome new edifce on South
Minnesota street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, as soon as the weather will
permit early next spring. This was
decided on at meeting held at Holy
Trinity Church Sunday afternoon, which
was largely attended.
The meeting, which was partially in
formal, was presided over by Rev. Robert
Schlinkert, and the plans for the new
church pretty thoroly discussed. Father
Schlinkert displayed the photograph of
a Minneapolis church, which he thought
would just about fill the needs of the
St. Mary's congregation, and it was de-
cided to follow the plans of the Mime
apolis building as nearly as circumstances
would permit. Il
The building will contain four school
rooms on the first floor with beautiful
auditorium on the second. The building
completed, will cost between $4,000
and $4,000. The Minneapolis edifce
cost the former sum, which was con-
structed several years ago.. With the
Increased cost Of Building and some lateI
improvements, it is expected the New
Ulm structure will cost several thousand
dollars more to build at this time.
The necessity of a new building is being
more and more realized Attendance
at Holy Trinity church has far out
grown the capacity of the building, and
it is deemed better to construct branch
church on the other side of the city than
to attempt to enlarge the present edifice.
The new building will be more con-
venient for the school children and
church attendants alike
THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT is
A SET OF FURS, The practicability
OF giving furs is most appealing. It is
more practical, because around a gift OF
furs, there is, more or less, halo Of
sentiment. What can better breathe
the Christmas spirit than furs? There
fore, we suggest a set of furs. or a muff
or a fur collar and no matter how modest
your requirements we have something
will quite completely meet them.

T or Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to
consider the method employed by
the English to combat this insidious
disease. Everyone knows how damp
the English climate is and how
dampness affects those suffering
from catarrhal deafness and head
noises as a constitutional disease and
use an internal remedy for it that is
really very efficacious
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
a watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English
treatment to such an extent that the
tick of a watch was plainly audible
seven and eight inches away from
either ear.
Therefore. if YOU know someone
who is troubled with catarrh ca
tarrhal deafness or head noises, cut
out this formula and hand ii to them
and you will have been the means
az saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. The prescrip-
ton can be easily prepared at home
for about 75c and is made as fol-
lows:
