school of life. where they learn how
to influence men. just as they will
have to do in later years when they
enter the bushes world. Under the
direction of the vocational division of
the Curtis Publishing company, the
scenario was written by e. H. Grif-
fifth. and the picture was released on
the paramount special program.
The film has been widely endorsed
by state, city and county superintend-
ents OF schools and by national or
gantzations interested in boy welfare.
1t Is shown in connection with the ma
tlon-Wide movement which is striv-
ing to teach each boy the particular
subjects which will help him most
when he leaves school and place him
In the vocation which offers the best
market for his talents.
The play depicts graphically the ca
reer, from school days to manhood,
or boy under right guidance by the
vocational division Of the Philadel-
phia publishers. 1t shows how. BY
methods that appeal to the youthful
mind, any normal boy can be taught
the fundamental principles Of busi-
ness and given q vision Of successful
living.
w. +. McKallor, manager of the
Metropolitan theater. in cooperation
with Mr.. Coad of the extension divi-
sion of the university, will give a free
exhibition Of the play to all boys who
are accompanied by their parents or
teachers. The doors will open at 1

FRAME SURE
OF STATE AID
Commander of Regiment Thinks
His Men Will Get Money
for Border Service.

Colonel John H. Frame Of Grafton,
commander Of the First North Dako-
ia infantry, stopped over in Grand
Forks today on his way to Des
Moines. Ia. where he is going to at
tend meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors of the Brotherhood Of American
Yeomen.
Hopeful of Passage.
The colonel is very hopeful that the
state legislature will pass the bill al
lowing $40 a month for the men Of
the North Dakota guard for the time
they spent on the border. 1t has al
ready passed the senate and the COL
onel expects to see it go through the
house without any trouble.
Only the boys who came back to
the state Of North Dakota will benefit
by the bill. Those who received
their discharge on the border and re-
mained there will not get O share of
it.
Not Law Till July.
Although there ii no emergency
clause attached to the bill and the
passage Of the same would mean that
it would not become a law until July,
state warrants made payable at that
time would no doubt be issued to the
men, who could cash the same at
once at discount.
The colonel said that those wanting
their share would have to secure
forms to be furnished by the ad5utant
general at Bismarck on application.
Proud of His Men.
Colonel Frame is very proud Of the
splendid showing and exemplary con-
duct OF his regiment on the border
