MINNEAPOLIS TO HEAR
FAMOUS cHoRISTERS
Students Catholic Association Sc
cures Two Musical Treats for
Thanksgiving Day.

Through the efforts of the Students
Catholic Association, music lovers of
the Twin Cities will be treated to a
musical festival of extraordinary merit
by the Paulist Choristers of Chicago
who, under the direction of Rev. Will
liam J. Finn, c. S. p, their conduc-
tor, will appear at the Minneapolis
Auditorium afternoon and evening,
Thanksgiving Day.
This organization won first honors
in Paris in competition with singing
societies representing all nations, and
after the war, it will make tour
through Europe. Its appearance here
was secured only after hard and earn
est effort on the part of the commit
tee which arranged the musical event.
The choristers consist of $50 voices
lilo boys and 40 men. Two distinct
programs will be given, with thirteen
numbers in the afternoon, and four
teen in the evening.
The soloist, Master Leroy Kurtze-
born, is regarded by critics as one
of the most remarkable colorature
singers in the country. His singing
of the Bell song from "Lakme," "Lo,
Hear the Gentle Lark" and other col
orature arias, has caused sensation
wherever he has appeared.
A New York critic says: Master
Leroy Kurtzeborn, boy soloist, was
received with great deal Of enthu-
siasm. The audience was captivated
to a remarkable degree by this boys
rare voice. operate and oratorio
arias of the kind usually associated
with stars like Tetrazanni and Teyte,
were given with ease and artistry, the
tone being round, full, and beauteous."
This boy has been trained by Father
Finn, and is said to be the finest ex-
ample of what correct training &C.
complishes.
Tickets now are on sale at the Ca
BILE Piano Company and Voegeli's
drug store at the West hotel, in Min
neapolis, and at E. M. Lehman Com
pany's book store and w. J. Dyer
Bros, in st. Paul.
The following letter is addressed
to the Hibernians Of this city by
County President F. D. Feeney:
To the Officers and Members of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians of
Hennepin County.
Gentlemen and Brothers:
My attention has been called to the
fact that the Paulist Choir is coming
to Minneapolis for two concerts on
Thanksgiving Day-in the afternoon
and evening at the Auditorium. The
choir consists of more than seventy
members and has sung with the great
est credit to itself in most of the large
cities in this country, and with signal
honor in many of the capitals of Eu-
rope. They are Catholic boys and
are coming here to help the Catholic
Club of the State University pay off
it's Indebtedness on some property
purchased for future club house.
The object then is most laudable,
but, of course, the expense incurred
will be considerable.
If, then, you and your friends want
real treat on Thanksgiving Day,
patronize one of these concerts and
you will be amply repaid.
Fraternally yours,
F. D. FEENEY,
..... County President.

Talks on Thrift
Your Business Character

In all business operations involv-
ing credit, certain requisites are es-
sential if the risk is to prove satlsfac-
tory TO the one who extends credit.
These requisites are best expressed in
what has well been termed the "Three
Big C's of Credit" namely, Character,
Capacity and Capital. This talk will
cover the first.
In order to possess business char
acter, man need not have what is
ordinarily known as business honesty,
for business honesty is not as big
thing as business integrity. Neither
need a man say long prayers, and
pass the plate, however admirable
these traits may be. He must have
more than a religion of the Ten
Commandments, the Sermon on the
Mount and the Golden Rule into his
business life. He must do no tricky
thing;-he must be on the level. He
must give a square deal. His word
must be better than his bond. He
must mark goods fairly, advertise
honestly, rectify any error, correct
any misunderstanding, and never for
get that his best advertisement is a
satisfied customer, and satisfied GUS
toners are made only by business
capacity.
The underlying reason why some
men have become great merchants is
to be found in the spirit of the
house." There are great stores in
every large city whose greatness is
due to the single fact that they have
back of them business character.
Their good will, worth millions, is a
good will of integrity. 1t has taken
years to build it up.
The buying public soon finds out
/ the spirit of the house. You can
catch a sucker but once. 1t doesn't
pay to try the second time. You do
we'll TO inquire how this element of
/ integrity enters into your business
/ life, for if the banker does not be-
/ lieve in you, you can get no loans
from him. You can lose this price
less asset by single lapse from bust
ness virtue, and once il is lost it is
hard Shedding to regain it.
A certain bank made a large sized
loan to builder for a specific opera
ton, with the understanding that the
funds were to be used to purchase
material and pay labor for that one
job. IL soon developed that in spite
of the fact that the contractor claim
ed to be progressing well with work
nothing had been done-he had used
the money elsewhere. 1t was a
\ breach Of trust. The banker hac
checked him up, as bankers general
ly do. He has lost his character In
that bank, and his word no longer
goes.
Another concern was buying auto.
mobiles with the banks money, Civ.
ing the bank trust receipt whereby
cars could not be delivered without
obtaining release from the bank anc
paying on the loans. The banker be

Evils of Park Hogs

Persons who tear up their envel-
opes, letters, and such papers and
carelessly throw the scraps on the
streets don't measure up to the
standard of tip-top citizenship. There
must be some of the swine in folks
that strew the litter of their lunches
on park lawns and in picnic grounds.
We should ever make it q point to
leave each Of natures beauty spots
that we visit just as beautiful as we
found it. Remember the men that
are to follow us. Many beautiful
resort park of wood and brook is
Nellnigh robbed of its exquisite
beauty by the self-centered, human
hogs that scatter pie-plates, olive and
other bottles, paper napkins, orange
and banana Feelings, and such like
refuse along the delightful walks or
in the cosy hooks of grounds care
fully prepared for public pleasure.
Not content with this evidence of
their lack of good breeding and
thoughtfulness, some of these van
dals pluck the flowers, tear off the
attractive coating of moss from old
logs along the streams, break down
the foliage of bending bush or tree,
and leave a dirty desolation in place
of the attractive nature picture that
they found. oh no, gentle reader,
these goths are not country boobs,"
but get-rich-quick Goldfish aristo-
Gratis, or professional resorters,
"sassiety" cultures, whose on y
thought is of self and "our set" II
is just this sort of lawbreaking, joy
riding, snobbish insolence that brings
disrepute upon wealth. True, it may
come from thoughtlessness, and lack
of proper training. Just the same,
it calls for condemnation. Let us
begin by training our youth to help
! keep school rooms and grounds,
town and country roads, city streets
and parks clean and tidy. Let US all
teach this wholesome lesson by pre-,
cept and by example.

business and win out. You cannot
deceive your banker for long. He
has a knack of finding out. Gossip
gets TO him fast. He has a second
sense that smells danger. He is a
detective.
Therefore, build your business
structure with character as the first
of three supporting piers. Be as ac-
tive in the church as you like; be as
good as you pretend to be, but re-
member always, that in business it
is not what you seem to be but what
you are that counts, and your true
nature will soon become manifest to
those who are in position to find
things out and can help you if they
trust you. but cannot if they don't

FAKE STORY STARTS
BOARDING Of N|CKELS
People All Over Country Fooled by
Report Coin Is Worth
Six Cents.

Officials of the mint bureau of the
Treasury today laughed at a story go
ing the rounds that the nickel in n five
cent piece of Uncle Sam is now actually
worth cents because of the abnormal
rise of nickel, due to the great demand
for the metal for the manufacture of
weapons of warfare. Germany is so
hard up for nickel she is paying fancy
prices for the metal and large guam
tity of it is to be taken back to that
country by the submarine Deutschland.
II is stated that as a result Of the
story now on the rounds many people
are beginning to accumulate nickels in
the belief that they will reap O. rich
profit for their efforts.
1t is pointed out by the mint bureau
that if the story were true American
fve-cent pieces would really disappear
from circulation and the government
would be compelled to stop mintage
because of the loss il would sustain. AS
a matter of fact Uncle Sam, at the pres
ent prices of nickel and copper, both of
which have gone up in the last two
years, makes an enormous profit in his
coinage of fve-cent pieces.

Plenty of Profit to U. S.

The five-cent piece is from an alloy

ee-fourths copper. SO that the nickel

nance of that metal in the coin gives
the name it usually goes by. one pound
of nickel. costing IS cents a pound at
present prices, and three pounds of
copper. costing 81 cents at the rate Of
% cents a pound, will make 354 five
cent pieces. passing throughout the
United States at a total valuation of
$500. The metal in all this money
actually costs the government about
S129. Added to this must be the cost
of mintage and transportation, which
is not large.
One pound of mixed metal, consisting
of four ounces of nickel and twelve
ounces of copper, makes ninety-one
five-cent pieces.
The profit of Uncle Sam on the coin
age of these pieces has decreased in
recent years, owing to the advance in
copper and nickel. as has the cost of
the one-cent pieces, owing to the ad-
vance in copper, but Uncle Sam is no
hog, and Will not cut down the amount
of metal in his coins because he is
having to pay more for the stuff he
uses 1t is simply case of the high
cost of living with him as il is with
other plain citizens.
