Triangle Picture At
The Orpheum Soon
Manager McGuiness Secures Much
Sought After Contract For
Biz Stuff

Shortly after D. w. Griffith's "Birtf
OF A Nation" opened in New York
City, Mr.. Atkin, former President OF
the Mutual Film Corporation, togeth,
er with Mr.. Griffith, conceived the
idea of forming company of three of
the worlds greatest motion picture
producers to release pictures, the
quality of which would warrant their
presentations in theatres at advanced
admission prices, ranging from Is
cents up. The outcome of this idea
was that Mr.. Griffith, together with
Thomas Ince and Mack Sennett form
ed a ten million dollar corporation,
which is known as the Triangle Film
Corporation.
The Triangle people release two
programs each week, each program
consisting of a five or more reel dra-
matte production, directed by either
Mr.. Griffith or Mr.. 1nce, and a two or
more reel comedy from the Keystone
studios, of which Mack Sennett is
Manager and director. The program
has been success and now the lead
ing theatres, in all the larger and
more important cities, exhibit the
Triangle program.
The first Triangle program will be
presented at the Orpheum theatre on
Thursday, February 17th., the second
program on Saturday, February 10Th,
to be followed by new Triangle pro-
gram on Thursday and Saturday Of
each week.

City Schools Open
Savings Bank Dept.
System Worked Out To Encourage
Habits of Saving In the Children
BERN nth

After series of delays, supplies
are now at hand for the starting Of
the School Savings Bank.
The establishment of the Savings
Bank in the city schools is in keeping
with general movement throughout
the country, which has the full en-
dorsement Of educators and Bankers
Associations. In this state, Fargo
and Grand Forks have operated saw
ings banks in the schools for some
years, while Bismarck and few 9TH
er cities and towns have established
them more recently.
1t is to be understood that the
school is in no ways depository. The
money is not kept at school at all.
Arrangements have been made with
the First National Bank to keep the
savings, and the accounts are kept
in the same manner as under any
savings bank system.
The part of the school is this:-
The teachers keep an accurate record
of all money brought by the children,
giving each child a record card. A
duplicate is kept with the principal
and further record is made at the
bank.
School Can Encourage
On Friday, February II, the first
opportunity will be given for the plac-
ing of children's money in the School
Savings Bank; every succeeding Fri
day will be Savings Bank Day. Every
child is expected to bring as much
money as he can to start his account.
Coins in any amount are taken for
registration, whether 1c, SC, or any
number of dollars.
While it is recognized that many
parents are encouraging their chill
dren to save by means Of banks at
home or even savings accounts, the
school is particularly adapted TO the
encouraging of savings, because of
the regularity of deposit and, particu-
larly, because of the stimulation that
comes from seeing other children do,
ing the same thing. II would be an
excellent plan if children who have
money of their own in little banks or
kept other ways to deposit this in the
School Savings Bank.

DEEP INTEREST
MARKS SESSIONS
THIRD AGRICULTURAL CONVEN-
TION NOW IN FULL SWING
LARGE ATTENDANCE
$50 MEN AND WOMEN
FROM MANY SECTIONS
First Days Filled BY Live Discussions
On Important Topics of Home
And Farm

II am deeply impressed by the at
tendance and the interest at these
meetings. When this number of men
and women come here from all sorts
of distances, under present weather
conditions, it is proof of something
back of it-yOu are interested, in
earnest in your work." A. E. Nelson,
county agent of Steel county.
That is the way the first two days
Of the Third Annual Williams County
Agricultural Convention have i'm
pressed every one present-speakers,
visitors, the farmers themselves.
There is genuine interest and the,
conviction that these winter con-
ferences will yield something of value
something that can be carried away
and will sooner or later prove useful.
The weather, while it might be-.
worse, is certainly not acting in a
manner calculated to boost the at
tendance. The roads are made heavy
by the constantly falling snow. With
many, home duties make it necessary
to 60 and return each day if they
come at all. With fair weather and
good roads there would have been at
least 800 farm people at these ses--
sions. As it is the total attendance.
will equal or exceed $50. Many stay
for the whole convention but others;
are obliged to confine themselves to.
the sessions in which they are most:
interested.
Ten Come Is Miles
Many farm clubs send few dele
gates to attend the full time and re-,
port on the work. Probably the larg-
est number from one club, certainly
the largest number from such dis
tance, is the ten representing the Out
look Club whose community is Is,
miles north Of. Williston.
A fair representation of ladies are
attending and it is probable that more
will be attracted today and tomorrow
by the home economics talks of Miss
Mcdonald who gives lecture on food
exclusively to women at
two o'clock this afternoon.
Favored BY Humor
A fine spirit of attentiveness, men,
tai alertness and good humor has
been very evident. The speakers
without exception have kept away
from the stiff, formal, didactic style,
of speaking. Mr.. Johnson, Mr.. Nel--
son, Mr.. Hall, Miss Mcdonald and Mr..
Wenz all got close to their audience
and talked to them and with them in.
an informal and verv refreshing
humor and good stories that made an
instant hit wit htheir hearers. Mr..
Nelson, who was raised in Kentucky,
in particular, is a humorist and a.
mimic of no mean ability.

ARM0R PLATE TRUST
DEFlES GOVT. PLAN
THREATEN $4,000 PER TON FOR
PLATE IF GOVT. FACTORY
BILL IS PASSED
BILL REPORTED FAVORABLY
BY SENATE COMMITTEE
Congress Will Not Be Deferred In
Plans To Equip Mare Island
Navy Yard

Washington, Feb. S.-Private arm
or plate manufacturers notified the
senate naval committee that they
would raise the price of armor plate
$500 per ton if congress decided to
erect or purchase armor plate fac
tories for the government.
For Government Plats
Committee nevertheless voted to
recommend government plants. After
brief consideration, the committee Or
dered favorably reported the bill au-
thorizing the expenditures of $5OO,00O
to equip the Mare Island Navy Yard
for battleship construction, 100000
to enlarge the facilities of the New
York navy yard, and the bill to add
three hundred midshipmen to the first
class at Annapolis next June.
These two bills passed the house
yesterday.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
republican, notified the committee of
the stand Of the armor plate manu-
facturers, those concerned chiefly be-
ing the Bethlehem and Midvale Steel
companies.
Committee voted nevertheless, nine
to three, to report favorably Senator
Tillman's bill to authorize the secre-
tary of nevy, to provide either by the
n1ne ~ ~ IN
factory or both, with a capacity of
not less than 10000 tons of armor
per year. The bill would appropriate
$11 100000. Senators Penrose, Lodge,
Smith of Michigan, republicans, voted
against reporting the bill. Chairman
Tillman and Senators Swanson, Bryan,
Johnson, Maine, Chiffon, Phelan, Pitt
man, democrats and Clapp and Poin-
dexter, republicans voted for it.
Will Not Affect Congress
"The threat of the armor plate
barons to hold up the government will
not affect congress-" said Senator Till
man.
eve are given to understand that
the armor plate manufacturers would
increase their prices because govern
ment manufacturers of armor plate
would force them to 60 out of that
business, and they would charge the
enormous increases in order to pro-
vide themselves with an amortization
fund. But guess we can find way
to stop the robbers. In time of trou-
BILE, we would seize their plants and
operate them by the right of eminent
domain"

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 5.-Canada's
magnificent parliament building
which cost more than $4,000, 900, lay
in ruins today, swept by fire at
tributed by some to be a bomb or in.
fernal machine. At least six lives
were lost and many persons injured
The known dead are: Nine. Bray

the roof fell upon them while they
were working with others in the
chamber below the speakers quarters.
Great Financial Loss
William S. Loggie, member of par
lament for Northumberland, N. B.,
is reported missing. 1t was stated
last night that Frederick F. Pardee,
the chief liberal whip in the house of
commons, also was missing, but it was
subsequently learned that he went to
Sarnia, Ont, yesterday morning and
that he could not have returned before
the fire.
The financial loss is difficult to es-
innate, but the contents of the build
ing were of great value. At an early
hour today it was evident that the
parliamentary library in a rear wing
had been saved. While the fire was
burning, soldiers carried out many of
it's 2sW,OO0 volumes.
The parliament building was rated
as one of the finest Gothic structures
on this continent. 1t covered four
acres on Parliament Hill.
Women Trapped
Several persons who were burned
or otherwise hurt in fleeing through
the windows are in hospitals today.
One of those most severely injured is
Martin Burrell, minister of agricul-
ture, who was burned about the head.
DR.. Michael Clark, member for Red
Deer, suffered burns about the hands.
Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian
premier, escaped without injury.
Nine. Bray and Nine. NORM were

Il dt Of temper, as the climax of
a shing conversation, Seymore
Y -ington, a colored barber shop
ter, made a vicious assault with
a pocket knife on Mike O'Neil Satur-
day afternoon while both were at
work in the shop in the Calderwood
building on Main. O'Neil received
two long slashes across the left RIBS.
One cut, had it been a quarter of an
inch deeper, would have reached the
heart and been fatal.
The barber and the porter were car
rying on a joshing, kidding conversa-
ton as was their frequent habit, but
Saturday the porter had been imbib-
ing too freely, habit that is said to
often result in arousing an uncon-
trolable temper. Without warning the
negro hurled vile epithet and flew
at O'Neil who defended himself with
the head rest of his chair but the
blows had little effect on his assailant
who persisted in his murderous assault
and might have accomplished his pur-
pose had not several men in the shop
come to the BARRIERS aid.

Important State
Law Declared Valid
Constitutionality of State Bonding
Law Settled BY Supreme Court
Decision

The state bonding act, passed by
the last legislature, and which pro-
vides for the establishment Of q state
bonding department to protect the
state, municipalities, counties and
townships, was today declared consti-
tutional, the supreme court, in unan-
imous verdict, upholding the act.
In its decision, the supreme court
overrides the contention raised by the
relators, holding that the state has au-
thority to establish the bonding de-
partment to cover any shortages, nom
feasance or defalcations of public off,
GERS.
First Law Failed
The law attacked was the second
passed by the legislature, the first,
passed three years ago, being knocked
out in the courts. Senator Ellingson
of Steele county, who conducted the
legislative fight in favor Of the meas
ure, persisted in the last assembly,
and the present act is the outcome.
In making an attack on the law, the
relators insisted that the state had ex-
ceeded it's authority in attempting to
establish the bonding department,
claiming the state was going into pri-
vate business in competition with
citizens.
With the success of the state In
maintaining the validity of the bond
ing law, the organization Of the de-
partment can now proceed, State In

the organization,

Bandits Infect Country

New York. Feb. 8.-A party Of four
American mining engineers, who ar.
rived here from Vera Cruz aboard the
steamer Esperanza, reported that the
train on which they travelled from
Mexico City to Vera Cruz has been
under constant fire from bandits
throughout the entire journey.
The engineers said they left Vera
Cruz two weeks ago, and travelled in
an armored car which carried four g.
inch guns. According to their story,
the whole territory between Mexico
City and the sea coast is infested
with bandits.
Carranza's Power Waning
DR.. Jorn r. Davis, American physi-
clan in Mexico City, is quoted as say
ing that there are several thousand
cases of typhus fever in the capital
and that small pox is raging at Tam
pico. The engineers asserted that
Carranza's power is waning and that
General Obregon is the man of the
hour in Mexico City.

out a ration that would supply the
requirements and then al
waysfeed the same ration: In produc-
ing milk, profit must always be the pri-
mary consideration. Prices Of feeds
will vary. Some particular feed that
has been worked out as part OF the
ration might become temporarily very
high in price. This would greatly in
crease the cost of the ration and there
fore the cost of~the product. In view
of this variation in the values and
costs of feeds, the man who>is feeding
COWS to make the most profit must
constantly 7keepsin mind the matter OF
economy.
Here in Kansas alfalfa hay is prob
,ably, thesmost economical source Of pro-
tein. Dairymen all over the country
are willing to buy our alfalfa and ship
it long distances. If dairymen In dis
tant states can afford to do this, pay
ing the freight, it certainly should be
even more profitable to feed this hay
to COWS on the farms where produced.
In the interest of economy Kansas
dairymen should feed their cows all
the alfalfa they will consume. An
LOO or 1900 pound cow will eat twen-
ty-five or more pounds Of alfalfa hay
day If it is of good quality. There
is not enough protein in this amount
of hay for a daily production Of forty
pounds of milk, and heavy producing
COWS would have to have small guam
tity of some concentrate containing q
relatively large amount of digestible
protein.
A year ago cottonseed meal was very
reasonable in price, and this feed was
a very economical source of protein
1t is much higher in price at the pres
ena time and consequently no more
should be used than is absolutely nee
essary to supply the additional protein
needed. For the average milk cow all
the alfalfa hay she will eat and silage
or some other carhonaceous roughage
Of good quality will be the NEST profit
able combination to feed.
