Miss Stedman
Wonderful Singer

Miss Myrtle Stedman, the charming
Paramount star, who is appearing in
person at the Oregon theater drew ca
pacity houses all day yesterday. Credit
where credit is due must be given the
management of this popular theater in
securing Miss Stedman as a special at
traction. This clever lady was the one
important feature Of the program and
the audience who so often has witnessed
the Paramount star on the screen, were
of course anxious to see her in person
and also to her her beautiful voice.
Miss Stedman was heralded as being
beautiful as well as an accomplished
actresses and possessing beautiful
voice, in this the star carried every
thing out to the letter. Firstly as a
singer she proved far above any prima
donna appearing in the larger musical
comedies, her voice being thoroughly
cultivated for operatic stage, her high
notes being true as bell and her range
from the higher notes to the lower notes
being remarkable. Her wardrobe was
beautiful in design and elaborate in fin
ish. Miss Stedman will remain tonight
and will make a complete change in
her wardrobe and singing an entire diff
ferent repatoire of song.
Miss Stedman is making tour Of
10 weeks to New York, where she will
head her own company and Mr.. Laflar
has already arranged with her mana
ger to secure the first run Of Miss Sted
mn new features.

 And even at that the Stroller had an advantage In his campaign that you do not have. In those halcyon days the women could not vote and only where they can vote is the candidate expected to kiss the ba- bles. Here in Alaska the women can vote and it will depend largely on your each and separate ability as baby kisser which one of you will occupy a seat in the legislative hall. No matter lf the baby is as speckled as a mountain trout tell the mother that it will have her lovely complexion when it gets older. Say it even though the mothers face is as streaked and picded as break fast bacon. Be careful to not use your handkerchiefs too soon after kissing the baby. Mothers notice such things.
 Another thing; Unless you have been accustomed Co attending the Wednesday night prayer meeting, don't start now. There was a time when candidates could pull such stuff and get away with it, but it can't be put across here in Alaska where. the Stroller is sorry to say, people are only too ready Co use hammers on recent converts
 There is lots more advice the Stroll Ter could impart but why should the common herd be put wise Co that which only candidates should know? To make public such information would only swell the list Of candi- dates in future campaigns and store up trouble for the honest voters. Either Of you can arrange for a pri- vatc sitting with tho Stroller for any time between now and election day at the office of his great family journal subscription price only $3 per year.

For information concerning men, go to a woman. For information con- corning women, go to a woman. For information of an kinds, go Co woman. Long years of experience and observation have convinced the Stroller of the infallibility Of a wo- man as source of information. Therefore, when the latter, in con- nection with his moral uplift work desired information one day recently regarding the moral decadencc Of the sisters done in bronz, he made a visit Co our famous Beach settle ment He went at night and in dis Euise. being dressed in a loose cal- leo wrapper. @ shawl over his head and pappoose, borrowed for tho occasion. strapped Co his back.
 Arriving at the Beach he made straight for the wigwam of a time stained and moth-eaten remnant of a previous generation. a sQuaw who was a grandmother when old Glory supplanted the Russian flag in Alas ka fifty years ago. She was known % years ago as Twinkling Star, but Aunt Twink is an she has heard for SO long that she has almost forgot ten her former name. When the Stroller arrived the old woman was busy worming dried fish but desisted in answer to his question:. What Is your opinion regarding the future of the females of your race2"
 (While the old woman replied in her native tongue, in English it was as follows. for fortunately the Stroll Ter understands and speaks fluently all the languages employed by n- dians from Mary Island Co Point BarrowD
 'I am proud Of my ancestry but. like Bin Yves mule. mourn for the future of my race. When was a girl we were a proud and defiant people. Now kanker worms gnaw our heels and we are rusty both inside and out. Before the coming of the pale face the women of my tribe ministercd to the bucks. We pro- vided them with food and raiment by our prowess at fishing and hunt ing and every squaw was content Go bask in the shade of her own fig tree But when white men came with their hootch. a great change was wrought Conditions have since been going from bad to worse Look at them as they are today! Not one squaw in forty knows how to spear salmon or even make moccasins. But many of them can strike a thumb mark on bottle. They delight in openwork hosiery and the majority of them will any day trade their chances of a blessed immortality be- yond the grave for a pair of garters with tin buckles. It gives your Aunt Twink a pain to note the deterior- ation Of her race and sex. And the bucks are no better. have buried six and would like to plant a dozen more just to get them out of sight. But say, have you forgotten what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina? He said It's a long time between drinks
 And with that last sentence the Stroller realized that even Aunt Twink had fallen for the tribal weakness and reasoning that all flesh is grass. he slowly wended hi, way back to his humble home whcr, he lay awake much of the night worrying about having given Aunt Twink drink from his private bot tle and wondering what would hap pen if shafer or Frank Bach nabbc, him and hauled him before Magis trate Erie or Judge Henson.

most encouraging and enthusiastic re.
ports indicate that the patriotic citi-
zens OF the state are aroused to the
necessity of making the second Lib
erty Loan campaign a success in South
Dakota. 1t Is considered significant
that no especial appeal was made to
farmers at the time OF the first Liberty
Loan. Secretary McAdoo in his speech
at Aberdeen recently called attention
to the unusual prosperity OF the FARM
ers of the state as evidenced by the
huge sums on deposit in South Dako.

urged them to take advantage of the
sound investment offered in Liberty
Bonds. He also appealed to the patri-
otto and to the necessity Of backing up
their boys fighting for the continuance
OF liberty and the worlds democracy
The quota for this federal reserve dis
trict Is $125, 900, 900. and South Dako-
ta's apportionment is $12. 900. 600.
which means that South Dakota sales
must exceed 100000 per day.

Activity Of Russian Women.

As Russia vas the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, 1t Is not strange that women
have taken such an active part In the
military campaigns. In all the reyolu-
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been made dangerous per-
haps, to the government, than the
men. It Is believed that the majority
Of the women amazons are evolution
lists and that their military experience
was sought for the opportunity 1t gave
them to spread their doctrine.

will commence within the coming
year. according to the opinions Of rail-

taken out and the new one will be
built on a site near it. A suspension
bridge has been needed over the Mis-.
souri, because of the changing course
Of the river. During the spring fresh

Dakota Grain Men Accused.

P~ierre.-Deputy Simcnson OF the
state market commission, has returned
from the southern part of the state.

discrimination by elevator men in the
purchasing Of grain. He found tina.
many grain handlers were taking an
excess weight for oats and barley. TAX
ing as high as SO pounds to the BUSH
Ell for barley and rs high as 81 pounds
to the bushel for oats, while both the
federal and state laws fix 48 pounds as
the legal weight Of a bushel OF barley,
and 80 pounds as the legal weight Of q
bushel Of oats. After the investiga-
ton, which not only revealed the over
weight and further that dockage is be-
ing made by pounds instead Of per-
centage, az required by both state and
federal laws, Deputy Commissioner
Simonson called the attention of coun-
ty attorneys to the facts in the cases.
He has already received several re-
plies from these officials in which they
say they have notified the elevator
men that prosecutions will follow any
continuance OF the custom. The at
tention OF the railway department hav-
ing been called to the situation 1t has
notified the scale inspectors under its
department to continue the investiga-
tons as to weights and dockage and
report the same to that department
wherever they find determinations.
There is also some complaint as to the
prices paid locally for wheat, but gen.
orally the price is fairly steady on
