delegates participated. Mr.. King char

the water power at Great Falls as i'm
practicable from an economic stand
point. He stated that the low flow of
water in the river at certain periods of
the year would necessitate the building
of large auxiliary steam plant. and
that the undertaking would involve an
expense not commensurate with econ

North Dakotan Brings to
Washington Message Which
Has Gone All Over World.
RURAL COMMUNITIES
FURNISHED AMUSEMENT
Alfred G. Alvord Speaks Before
Drama League Section at the
Friends School.

\ man from North Dakota brought
a message to Washington last night
which seems to have been going to
places all over the world which are
not at war, and which may result
eventually in making rich the lives
of those in small communities near
the capital who are poor in opportun-
ity.- 1t is the message of The Little
Country Theater, which shows how
fundamental things may easily be done
to furnish amusement and recrea-
ton in rural districts. and it was
brought to Washington by the man
who founded that institution two years
aye-Alfred C. Arvold of the Agri-
cultural College of North Dakota, who
is making a lecture tour of the United
States under the auspices of the Drama
League of America, while describing
the success with which the little thea
ter scheme has met, and the Package
Library System, of which he is in
charge in North Dakota, which keeps
the little theater going. Mr.. Arvold
spoke last night at the Friends School,

After going into details of why peo-
pie in small country districts are hun

,sons. such as distance from cities. why
they are at times unable to obtain it,
Mr.. ArVoid, who was introduced by
Mrs. Thomas w. Sidwell to group of
persons interested in the study and
criticism of the drama. told how he had
been led by his work to coin the
phrase. The Little Country Theater.

community who produce plays with the

of THE Little Country Theater" scheme
unfolded itself. Mr.. Alvord commented
upon the fact that the public generally
thinks of North Dakota in terms OF
weather tsuch as bliZzards) and went
.on to say that that state is not all
climate and that the aspirations of its
people toward ideals such as the drama
affords are perhaps as great II not
greater than those of the people OF any
other state in the Union. He said that
az per cent of the population of the
state is foreign born and that the
knowledge of the 5000 Icelanders and
the $4,000 to 10000 Norwegians there

cheeks of many Americans with lit

that tie committee had got the right

Complaints Of General Funston and

The Mexican experience has served 20
emphasize. In the opinion of many War
Department officials, the need which
would exist in this country in event OF
a great war. for a vigorous Government

The bill provides that when In his
