Luncheon Served

The visitors were guests of the
college at a luncheon Saturday after
noon in Ferry Hall presided over by
President e. o. Holland, who called
upon number of the farmers and
bankers for brief remarks.
j. A, SwalWell of Seattle, presi-
dent of the Washington Bankers as
sociation, paid ii tribute to e. e.
Flood OF Spokane. who, as chairman
of the agricultural committee Of the
bankers association, founded the
banker-farmer convention last year,
The speaker mentioned the benefits
to be derived by both bankers and
farmers from cooperation and an
interchange of views as made pos
sIble through a convention Of this
nature.
w. II, Martin of RitZyille related
how, as a banker, he had personally
raised $4,000 there toward the Y. NJ
c. A. war work, all in amounts of
$3.50 from each subscriber. He
was refused only twice in his cam
paign. He urged that all the bank
ers lend their efforts to the Y. NJ
c. A. army movement, J, A, Rey-
n0lds of Walla Walla spoke on the
same subject explaining the purpose
Of the Y. NJ. c. A. war fund cam
paign as being to safeguard the SOL
diers from a moral and social stand
point, thus increasing their fighting
power.
r. A. Blanchard, agrlculturist Of
the Live Stock bank Of North Port
land, Oregon, urged the necessity Of
bankers settling themselves to def
mite projects in their work, calling
attention to the fact that the bank
ers find so much to do that they are
likely to do nothing thoroughly un-
less they concentrate their endeavors.
Stress was laid upon the necessity
of Improvement in the business side
Of farming by B. II. Hubbard of the
University of Wisconsin, who sug-
gested that the bankers are In an
admirable position to assist In this
movement. A. II. Posten, farmer
from Spokane county, mentioned the
advantages to accrue through closer
cooperation between the banker and
the farmer, while Dean w. c. Beach
of the State College dealt with the
same subject from a social stand
point, referring to the annual bank
er-farmer convention as an example
of the possibilities of a development
of closer social relationship.
The convention rendered unani-
nous vote OF thanks to the agricul-
tural committee of the bankers as
ISOLATION, the Pullman chamber OF
commerce and the college faculty for
the entertainer provided.

PRIVATE DANCING LESSONS

Many of the young people of the city have not yet learned the popu- lar ball room dances, the waltz, one step, and fox trot, which are all the ra ge at the popular assemblies, and many did not have time to become members of the various classes orga- nized during the winter. To accom- modate them Prof. Guilty is prepared to give private lessons any afternoon or evening at the Colonial Ball room in Fairfield avenue and at very mod crate terms, five lessons being enough for the waltz and one step. Call or telephone for Information and ap- pointment. The advanced class will hold it's usual meeting. Friday even- ing, but the session will be devoted entirely to dancing with music by Murray's big orchestra These as- semblies have proved very pleasant, and they will close very soon now Only a single admission fee is requir- ed.

Messrs. Comstock and Gest will present Walter Towards stirring melodrama of love and war, "The Story of the Rosary" at the Lyric theatre next week, starting Monday evening, May 21. This is the play which, brought to America direct from the Princes theatre, London, where it ran upward of 300 nights, clicited enthusiastic metropolitan comment as the finest, best written and best-acted melodrama seen in America in ten years.
 It has all the virtues of a perfectly written play, and the interpretation of a perfect cast, most of whom were creators of the roles they now play. The scene of The Story of the Ros- arysis the continert of Europe. The country is nameless, but it might be any one of the nations now embroil- ed in war. Two soldier-cousins, Philip Romain, crafty. wealthy cap tain of infantry, and Paul Ronain, also a captain of infantry, but. frank, simple and honest, and neither craf- ty nor wealthy, love Princess venetia von Sabran, daughter of the impov- erished Prince von Sabran, whose house must fall unless propped by the bulwarks of another mans exchequer. venetia favors the suit of Paul. while her father, desperately urging her to marry Philip, threatens to disown her if she does not obey him. She does not obey him, is disowned as he threatened, and marries Paul Ro- main on the eve of his departure for war. The disappearances of Paul on the battlefield, the prosecutions of his wife by her father and Paurs arrival, the staunch devotion of Paul's friend Karl La Rose, and PauIs eventual return as his despair ing wife is about to take the final VOWS of the church form the sub stance of MT. Towards absorbing story.
 Miss warda Howard as Princess Venetia, Walter Marshall as Philip Paul Romain. R. G. Edwards. as Karl LaRose. Leo Kennedy as Paul, James Berry as Romain. Albert Gebhardt as Lieut. Peterkin, Laurett Brown Hall as Wilhelmina and others of the Lyric players will be seen.
 There are 12 scenes in the plays four acts, the stirring battle scenes and the mess-room scene employing more than 100 actors-not supernu- meraries-

PLAZA

Again yesterday, for the entire three performances, the Plaza was packed to the doors. Mary P1ckford in "A Poor Little Rich Girl'' is exceeding all speed limits in packing theatres all over the country for it is unquestion- ably her best accomplishment in many months.
 Not only is the picture itself a won derfu1 piece of work as far as beauty of story and photography are con- eerped. but is so cleverly put over that is, it IS presented with such at tention to detaiEspecial music score and all that--one feels that Little Mary is appearing in person. You know-music makes a big difference it's really half of the picture and with the Plaza's large concert orchestra and those musical adaptations, the eff feet Is most delightful.
 Besides the O. Henry story, Past One At Rooney's,'' which is without question the cleverest two-reel film we have ever seen, there are two other comedy subjcts, one a new Mack Sem nett Keystone, ''Pinched at the Fin hsh. .s with Ford Sterling, and the other Va Drew comedy.

stamford,s High Taxes.

The Stamford common council and the board of finance have fixed the city tax rates for the current year at 14.4 mills for the First tax district, and 12.13 mills on the dollar for the Second tax district. Last years rates were 12.5 mills in the First district and 10.5 in the Second district. Thus the First district rate this year is 1.9 mills greater and the Second district rate Is. 1.s3 mills greater than last years rates. The town tax for 1s17 is 10.75 mills. Therefore people who own real estate in the First tax dis trict will be required to pay 25.15 mills tax on the dollar.
