A lighting arrangement had been ef-
fected by which was skillfully initiated
the red glow Of the midnight sun, and
one of the most striking scenes of the
play showed the men at work with
their nets. weaving them in time to
their songs, which they compose as
they sing. others Of the Icelandic Gus
toms were revealed in the play.
In the play is related the story of a
North Dakotan OF Icelandic descent,
who goes back to the ancestral island,
drawn by what he has heard Of it's
charms, with the resolve to teach the
higher progress of America. He learns
the lesson told in the tale of the rain
drops as related to the children in the
Icelandic home, that each has his own
may be more useful In his native sur
roundings than anywhere else.
Additional interest lay in the fact
that nearly al of the actors are of Ice
landic descent. The scenery, which was
the work of the authors, was of un-
usual merit. A splendid program of
Icelandic music, played by DR.. Put
mans orchestra of the A. c., enhanced
the desired effect, and just preceding
the play itself, Born Myrdal, one Of the
cast, related some interesting facts
concerning Iceland. Raindrops win be
repeated some time in March, at which
time the general public will be given q
chance to see 1t.
The board and council meeting in
this city will close with this afternoons

Long adjournments in the house and
senate seem to be- the fashion regard
less Of the protests Of the men who are
interested in giving the voters Of the:
state full value for their money. Rep.
Edw. Indrehus of Benton county led
the fight against the long adjournment
program in the house and was ably as
sisted by those members who stand for
action and not delay, which seems to
be Characteristic of those who wish to
let the work Of the house accumulate.
Mr.. Indrehus is right in view of the
fact that it costs the state a goodly
sum of money every day whether the
wheels of progress are kept, in motion
or not. This is the kind of waste and
extravaganza which makes for higher
taxes and it is time th..t the folks back
home insisted that their representa-
tives get down to business and cut out
long adiournments which tend to cause
laziness and which is in many instances
responsible for some of the foolish as
well as some OF the vicious legislation
which is railroaded through the house
by the Old Heads during the last few
days of the session when the members
can find little time to give the bills the
thoughtful attention that in many
cases is often necessary. ~t. -.

St. Cloud Journal Press: The cost
of producing newspapers has increased
tremendously in the last two years.
Print paper has been advanced in price
so much that it has occasioned govern
mental inquiry. Ink has gone way
up. Many newspapers in various parts
Of the country have been hit so hard
that they have had to suspend publ
cation. In some cities newspapers
have raised the price at which they
were sold from / cent to cents and
there has been some increase in adver-
Using rates, but there probably has
not been a time in the last half cen
fury when the newspaper industry the
nation over was in so bad state finan-
cially as today. Few newspapers are
making money. The vast majority are
suffering heavy losses. And this at a
time of colossal circulation, unprece-
denied advertising and the greatest
general prosperity the country has
known.

appear among the possibilities. Ths
United States might solemnly warn
Germany against violation Of he,
