Clara Kimball Young in The
Easiest Way" a photodrama version
of what has been recognized as the
greatest American drama, Will be the
attraction at the Hippodrome theatre
today and tomorrow. This Selznlck-
Pictures production was directed by
Albert Capellani, who won the high
est laurels with his screen version OF
THE Common Law.
THE Easiest Way" is the story or
an actress who battles hard to win
recognition, but encounters every
where the sort of underground poll
tics and jea1ousies which battle so
many beginners in theatrical careers.
She accepts the influence of a
wealthy man as the only means of
overcoming the difficulties in her
path, and as matter of course is
virtually compelled to pay the tradl-
tiopal price Later she falls IN love
with a newspaper man, but he is too
poor to marry her, and sets out to
make his fortune prospecting. While
he is absent the actress again finds
herself helpless, and is forced to go
once more TO her influential friend
for assistance Again he eXacts the
price. and when the newspaper man
returns, his fortune made, he Is dis
gusted and refuses to forgive sec
0nd time. This leads to a dramatic
situation which brings the picture to
remarkable conclusion.-Adverti
ment.

RICH WHY FARMERS :.
OPPOSED LIBERTY BONDS

Minneapolis, June 16.-John H.
Rich, chairman of the Minneapolis
federal reserve bank, has received a
letter from Jacob H. Ulvan Of Hen
drum, Mimi, explaining in the opin.
ion of a practical farmer the reason
why agricultural districts did not re.
spond satisfactorily to the Liberty
loan. The letter says, in part:
"The farmer has been looking Gag
erly for congress and the government
to do something toward wardiAg off
starvation. The farmers were asked
to do all they could to raise big crops,
and they have done all they could
Not 10 per cent of the farmers, be-
lieve, wanted the country to go into
the war. Now, they are being told
by the Nonpartisan league that big
business is influencing public opinion
and controlling the larger newspa-
pers. p.

government is sincere. the writer
says, and declares they all fear chat
after they raised the large crop the
government wants, they are going to
be tricked out of their profits" f.

CHEAT STATE AND
VAIL FOR ROADS
Secretary of State Hall Pays At
tention to Eastern Tier of
Dakota Counties
BUY MINNESOTA TAGS AT
$3.50 FOR 3-YEAR TERM

The rank injustice OF the attitude
of at least 1000 automobile owners
on the eastern frontier of the state
who, while clamoring for liberal fed
eral and state aid for the Meridian
highway, at the same time cheat the
state of North Dakota out of high
way funds by operating their cars
under Minnesota licenses, was de.
nounced this morning by Secretary
of State Hail.
Buy in Minnesota.
Many of these people, said Mr..
Hail. although living on the Dakota
side of the river, get their mail at
Minnesota points. They have also
been buying their automobile licenses
there and attaching them to North
Dakota cars, although it is absolutely
contrary to the law for d resident of
North Dakota to operate car under
q license procured from another
state BY doing this, the car owners
get three-years' license for $3.50,
whereas, in North Dakota the mini
mum this year is So, and for the two
years ensuing will be much higher.
All these same people who by these
shrewd tactics are depriving the state
highway commission of thousands of
dollars in fees have been the first
to receive favorable consideration
for their state and federal aid pro-
jects."
One Out Of Three.
About every third man in the south
eastern part of the state is driving
his car without a license, the Sec
rotary of state added. Ransom, La
Moure and Sargent counties were
named among the principal offenders.
Sargent county has two federal and
state aid projects for the benefit of
the Meridian trail, which the state
highway commission has approved
and recommended to the United
States office of public roads. "
