ter people engaged this company Of
native musicians who will present
music as it is played, crooned, string
picked, and sung in the huts of his
toric Hawaii. This number should be
one of the "hits" of the chautauqua.
In decided contrast to the other
programs will be the concert by the
Cathedral choir, an organization of
nine people. These singers will wear
the customary vestments of the Cath
edral and will bring to chautauqua Sc
lections from the great oratorios, ma
jestic anthems, and some of the state
ly old hymns of the church.
Will Give Drama
An unusual feature of the chautau-
qua program will be the presentation
Of modern drama by the University
Players. This organization devotes
it's entire time to lyceum and chautau-
qua work and has taken good drama
into hundreds of communities. Only
the best dramas are included in the
repertoire of the University Players
and they have received the endorse
ment of puplit and school wherever
they have appeared.
Splendid Speakers
In addition to the lectures by Judge
Schoonover and "Cyclone" Davis there
will be three speakers who have prov
en- their worth on the lyceum and chau-
tauqua platform. M. H. Pemberton
of Missouri is called the "second Mark
Twain" by the people in the home
state of the great writer-humoist.
Mr.. Pemberton's lecture on "A Reuben
in Rome" is said to be a humorous
classic. DR.. George c. Aydelot is the
most successful pastors of the south
west and he has won an enduring
place on the public platform. G. L.
Miller of Ohio proved to be one of the
most popular lecturers on the Redpath
Vawter lyceum platform this past sea-
son and the large number of return
dates sold for next year testifies to his
ability.
The dates will be July 18 to 20, in
elusive.

Minot, N. D., 4-6-'17.
Editor Kenmare News,
Kenmare, N. d.
Dear Sir:
I notice in your last issue of the
News your query as to why the North
Dakota millers are not grinding -"
Feed Wheat instead of shipping in No.
/ Northern wheat from Montana: The
answer is easy. The people Of North
Dakota will not eat bread made from
flour which is the product of ID" Feed
Wheat. The writer tested out this
class Of wheat in a commercial way,
and found to his sorrow that both the
quality and yield were entirely at varl-
ance with the much discussed test on
this class of wheat by DR.. Ladd.
The flour miller is just as keen att
er the almighty dollar as any, other
business man, and uses every honest
means to improve the quality and the
cheapness of his product, but grinding
"D" Feed Wheat does not do the busl-
ness.
Yours truly,
VIM. DUNNELL,
v. Pres. Minot Flour Mill 60.

How Oser Webb Broke Into the Pen

Oser Webb, colored, sentenced to
serve two years in the penitentiary
for second offense pigging, appeared
at the penitentiary Wednesday, unat-
tended, and asked Warden Talcott to
admit him. Webb, it appears, arrived
at the institution before the warden
received his commitment papers.
Warden Talcott didn't know what to
do with him so phoned States Attor-
ney Herigstad. Webb was admitted
into his new home.
The Webb case was recently con-
sidered by the supreme court, the de-
cision of the lower court being upheld,
with one dissenting vote, that of Judge
Robinson, who pointed out a techni-
cality. The supreme court had not re-
turned the papers and the district
court could not issue the commitment
before their receipt.

ing since last October, Louis Schra-
der, 38 years old, was found dead to-
day in the Sheyenne river near his

BANKERS SHOULD ASSIST RURAL
 CREDITS
(By Associated Pressl

DAVIS, Cal, May 25.-"Alarming conditions which confront American agriculture" must be remedied in part by California bankers, through the adoption of present day methods, Jo- seph Hirsch, of Corpus Christi, Texas, declared in an address before the Cali fornia Bankers Association Mir. Hirsch criticised the "one crop" sys- tenn of farming, which he affirmed prevails in the state, denounced colo nization methods as heretofore widely practised, and commended to the at tention of the association the report of the commission on land colOniza- tion and rural credits appointed by Governor (now senator) Hiram w. Johnson. He advocated cooperation with this commission and with the federal farm banks, in which view, he said, as chairman of the agricultural commission of the American Bankers Association, had met with opposition from bankers all over America" when he expressed his personal opinions.

r FREEDOM NEAR FOR ABUSED
 PEOPLE
(By United Press)

LONDON, May g. - In the midst of the hurly-burly of war, there are a few persons in London - just a few giving some thought to what is to become of Armenia after the war. Not Belgium, Serbia nor Poland has suf- fered as Armenia has suffered. These figures explain:
 Armenians living in Armenia
 before the war .... ... ...2,O0O. .O00 Armenians knifed. burned,
 shot, stoned, drowned and
 otherwise put to death by
 the Turks Cwell authenti-
 cated figures) ..... -... ...10OO,OOO Armenians unaecounted for
 from among those driven
 into the desert e. ... ... 40O,O ,OOO Armenians in Constantinople,
 western Asia Minor and
 Russia ... ... ... ... 600,00O
 The new Armenia that is to be re- constructed after the war thus has a basis of only 600 GOO men, women and children, unless it be found that some of those driven into the desert have survived. These 6O0,000 must be brought back into Armenia from the other side of the Russian border and from Constantinople, where they have enjoyed comparative immunity
 The restoration of a nation from such basis would seem almost hope less, but Armenians in London believe it will be done. Lord Bryce. former ambassador to the United States. who, as he expressed it, has been studying the case of Armenia for forty years, believes it will be done "The change in Russia has been a most fortunate thing for Armenia" said Lord Bryce. The Armenian peo- pie may expect more from the Russian people than they obtained from the Russian government in the past"
