BORN FOLKS
ARE To BE: LEARNED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a
Greatly increased facilities are to be
provided this fall Off the instruction
Of foreign-born residents of the United
States and especially for alien candi-
dates for citizenship. During the last
scholastic year the public school au-
thorities or approximately $50 cities
ard towns in A states of the Union
were cooperating with the Bureau of
Naturalization of the U. S. Department
of Labor in this branch of its educa-
tional activity. According to informa-
ton thus far received by the Bureau,
nearly 100 others have signified their
intention of joining in the movement
and all indications now point to a
most gratifying record for the 1916-17
school year.
1t is the desire of the Bureau of Nat
uralization that public school night
classes be installed wherever the need
exists for the education and American
! ization of foreigners. This field of
operation of the public schools is not
limited to those who have applied for
naturalization. 1t is intended to in
clude all foreign-born residents whose
instruction in English and civics
would be of signal advantage to the
city in which they reside and, logi-
cally, to the nation as we'll.
That the cost of the establishment
and maintenance of such schools is
relatively small as compared with the
great good accomplished, is convinc-
ingly shown by reports received from
the public school authorities who CO.
operate with the Bureau of Natural
i7ation last year. With this in view,
the Bureau is urging the superintend-
ents of schools all over the country to
insert in their municipal budget for
next year an item providing funds to
cover the expense of carrying on this
public night school work.

THE ALCAZAR

The spectacle of Mary Beresford, the
heroine of "The Stepping Stone," the
nef Triangle-Ince release starring
Frank keenan, and Mary Boland, aiding
her unappreciative husband in his up
ward climb to success, is going to
strike responsive note in the hearts
of many women, and perhaps, awaken
.consciences of some careless men.
Ever since marriage, Albert Beres-
ford had depended on his wife, Mary,
and always had he found her ready,
willing, able. In the beginning, when
it had been a hard struggle to make
ends meet, she uncomplainingly had
done the scrubbing and washing and
then had sat up half the night aiding
him in his law studies, nursing, baby
ing and encouraging him to good work
in spite of himself And, like most
husbands who take all and give moth
ing, he is ready to cast her off when
his beggarly goal has been reached.
Don't fail TO see this powerful drama
at the Alcazar Wednesday.

WH|SkEY FLOODING
ATL ANITA IS BELIEF

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. Whisky
in wholesale quantities is coming into
Atlanta under fictitious names and is
being delivered to purchasers shortly
after it arrives, according to evidence
unearthed by the local police auth
critics.
1t appears that some Atlanta men
are so keen to get their liquor, and the
limit of two quarts per month i'm
posed by the prohibition law is so en-
tirely inadequate, that they have fig
ured out scheme to secure almost
immediate deliveries through the aid
If certain agents who make business
Of taking their orders.
These agents, according to the evil
dence in the hands of the police, send
large number of daily orders to
liquor houses outside of the state, and
use fictitious names in directing how
! the shipments shall be forwarded. As
fast as the shipments arrive, the
agents send negroes the money to
pay express charges, and furnish each
negro with the name he shall use in
applying for his" shipment
In this way the agents are enabled
to keep on hand quite large supply
and to secure fresh shipment every
day. Purchasers pay the agents and
the agents deliver to the purchasers
within a short time after payment is
made.
The police got on to the scheme
through some negroes who turned
states evidence, and they are exerting
every effort to put the agents out of
business, in which event the members
of the Ancient and Honorable Order of
Burning Thirst will be compelled to
evolve from their fertile brains an
other scheme to circumvent the law.
Liuuor shipments to Atlanta have
increased to such an extent that the
Southern Express Company has been
forced to seek larger quarters for its
whiskey depot. Announcement has
been made that this depot will be
moved from West Hunter street to
Chapel and Mangum streets. The fell
low with a thirst will then have to
travel a half mile further than he did
before, but he will go just the same.

PLAY Fl. RIPLEY SUNDAY
LOCALS SCHEDULE GAME WITH
FT. RIPLEY FOR THIRD TIME
TO ROYALTON MAY 80

Next Sunday afternoon the local
baseball team is scheduled to clash
with Ft. Ripley at the fair grounds.
It is the hope of the locals that the
weather will be favorable this time.
Twice in succession the game with the
up-river boys has been called off on
account of rain.
Al. Dominick, the favorite of Little
Falls fans, has agreed to quit farming
for couple days and do the hurting
for the locals Sunday.
For Decoration Day, May 80. Man
ager Berkin has secured game with
Royalton, to be played at that place.
The village at first decided not have
a team this year but since that time
have changed their minds and will put
a fast nine in the field. The Decora.
ton Day game has always been
played at Royalton and has proven a
big crowd getter and should be like,
wise this year if the weather is at all
favorable. Gourd will very likely be
back from the west in time for the
Decoration Day game and will pitch
for the locals.

SCHOOL EXHIBITS WERE VERY
GOOD

A number of people visited the high
school and Central yesterday after
noon to see the exhibits of work done
during the past year in the schools.
The exhibits were certainly splendid
and credit to the students and to the
instructors. It would be hard to say
that any one exhibit was better than
the other but the results were proba-
bly, more plain in the domestic science
and the manual training departments.
The exhibit of sewing was very at
tractive. It contained everything
from a small specimen of patching to
the very finest party gown. The chro-
cheting was especially good. In the
manual training department. were ex-
hibits of library tables, cedar chests,
book racks, gymnasium paraphernalia,
various kinds of stands, etc. One
piano bench was an especially fine
piece Of work. The exhibits Of pen
manship and mechanical drawing were
also very good. AS a whole the exh: b.
its seemed to show marked improve
ment over the previous year and were
the source of much praise by the Wis.
itors.

Will GET BULL MOOSE
YOUNG ANIMAL WILL BE PRO-
CURED FROM NORTHERN
TRAPPER IN SHORT TIME

A young bull moose will be added to
the collection of animals at the Pine
Grove park within the next two
weeks, according to plans now under
way whereby one will be secured from
Warroad. Local parties have been cor
responding with trapper living at
Warroad for some time and he has
agreed to catch young bull moose
for them. He says that the animal
must be caught the first Of June so
the committee will take immediate
action in the matter.
Part of the cost of getting the
moose will be paid by the Moose
lodge, they having raised some money
by giving dances, etc., for that pur-
pose. The balance will be raised by
popular subscription. The trapper
Joe Crowett, wants $75 for capturing
the moose, and the cost Of transpor.
tation will probably bring the total
cost to about $100. The city council
will be asked at it's next meeting to
furnish feed for the moose. It will
also be necessary for the city to get a
permit from the state game warden to
keep the moose.
