new students, held Saturday evening in
the gymnasium of that college, was a
most delightful affair, and was partfci--
pated in by fully $50 of the students
and faculty. That number included
about 200 of the new students. The
affair was in charge of the entertain
ment committee of the college, and the
first number on the program arranged
for the occasion, was a mock wedding
put on by the college juniors and soph-
ignores. 1t was an elaborate event, and
aroused much merriment The academy
seniors gave a clever take-off of Ever
EFT True, of cartoon fame, presenting
their contribution to the entertainment
in the form of tableaux. The academy
juniors put on a stunt entitled Leap
Year Hail Fifty Years Ago, being an
illustration of an old-time school, with
many funny features. Interpreting
these stunts were well-played selec-
tions by the Concordia college band,
and later in the evening games afforded
the entertainment, the crowd dispers-
ing at a late hour. Refreshments were
served, and the gymnasium. was gaily
decorated with. pennants and streamers

Best Suffrage, Speaker in State
Of Minnesota Will Address Tri-
s- State Grain Growers Convention

Her conversion to a belief in Suffrage
was due to the fact that she found
women blocked at every turn whenever
they enter into reform work, for lack
of legislative power. Now Mrs. Simp-
son devotes practically all of her time
to the suffrage cause, even to the ex-
tent of great personal sacrifice.
Mrs. Simpson was .toastmistEess al
the now famous banquet given by the
Minnesota suffragists in Minneapolis tc
the Mississippi Valley Suffrage confer
ence delegates last spring, when Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait, national presi.
dent of the suffragists, so ably routed
President Vincent, of the Minnesota
"U", in a suffrage argument. Mrs
Simpsons brilliancy as a toastmistress
was widely commented upon at that
event.
Mrs. Simpson will be the guest OF
Mrs Elizabeth barrow O'Netl while In
Fargo, and plans to leave this city
Thursday morning to fill a speaking
engagement in Minnesota. It is thought
she will arrive here probably Tuesday
evening.

lishment of hail insurance, section 166
of the proposed document is as fol-
lows:
Laws shall be passed by the legis-
lative assembly classifying all prop
| erty for the purpose of taxation and
exemption therefrom. Laws for the
| levy and collection of taxes upon prop
erty of given class shall be uniform
in their application to property of that
Glass;
1t is held that this provision would
make 1t possible for a succeeding legIs-
lature to carry the hail insurance plan
into effect.
One Salary Change.
Only one salary change is made in
| the constitution, affecting the board of
railroad commissioners. Under the
change. the board members would re-
ceive $4,000 instead of $4,000. The new
act carries a $4,000 salary for the gov
ernor, which is now provided by law,
and it also carries a $500 salary for
the attorney general, which is also
now provided by law.
Limited Voting Power.
Under section 131 Of the new docu-
ment, provision is made whereby any
corporation may, by its articles of in
corporatiin, or by its bylaws, limit
the voting power Of its stockholders.
Legislative Sessions.
The provision with respect to the
future status of the legislature, is as
indicated in previous skeletonized re-
ports Of the measure. Sessions would
be held biennially, elections to be held
quadrennially.
Members Of the house and senate
would serve four-year terms, and the
new scheme of things would be made
effective in 1922.
The act. as now drafted. doesn't take
49,
that the legislature should not meet
until year after the new governor
takes office.
Public Ownership.
The section of the bill of rights by
which the state would be permitted to,
engage in public utilities business, Is
copied, in the main, from the Oklahoma
constitution. and follows: Y
The right of the state, or any po-y
litical subdivision thereof. to engage in.
any occupation or business for public
purposes. shall not be denied or pres.
hibited" g
This, it is pointed out, covers the.
whole public utilities issue.
-''- Four-Tear Terms.
All state and county officials would.
beginning in 1918, be elected to four
year terms. ..
The state would be empowered to
make provision for the appointment of
all state officials with the exception
of the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor.
Lieutenant Governor Must Vote.
The provision with respect to the
lieutenant governors voting power in
the senate Is changed from the pres
ent provision, which makes a vote in
case of a tie. optional with the officer.
The new act would compel him to cast
the deciding vote.
School Land Loans.
Under the provision with respect to
the school lands. the only change is the
greater loaning power given land own
ers. They would be able to get half
the value of their property. instead OF
third, as at present.

WINTER NIGHT IN BRYANT PARK
fNIauy

WINTER NIGHT IN BRYANT PARK
Il New York;
Frozen is the fountain
Where sparkling waters played
And sparrows at its trimming cup
A twittering music made.
The voices of the children
Are still that laughed at play
About the pleasant winding ways
At close of summer day.
The rows of empty benches
Are chill in the night air;
And in the shadows darkly
Old grassy ways lie bare.
From lone and eerie places
The cold winds shivering sweep
Among the leahess branches
Where sparrows huddled sleep.
So high above the small white stars
That pierce the winter sky,
Dost Thou still heed these little ones
That fall to earth and die?
