For all the wisdom that is spilled,
for all the punishment that's earned,
II seems that life Is always f1lled
with lessons that are never learned;
a. mortal creature 1t appears will sell

his little lot with tears and wall in
woeful circumstances. He knows the
maths that he should shun, he knows
the better ways, of course, he knows
the folly of the fun, that brings him
weeping and remorse, he knows that
IL is all d snare, yet falls he for
temptations vile to later moan and
tear his hair and beat his bosom for
q while. This train of moral plati-

mood for woes have prompted II
forsooth; a many times he'd thought
were learned the lessons that had
cost him pain, but all, the evil hour
returned and he had slipped from

with the strength to see the folly o.
his way, to find the better course al

Mabel TaIiaferro, the star of many
notable Metro wonderplays, has en-
joyed uniqus and successful career
on both the speaking stage and the
screen. She was the first legitimate
star on the American stage to 80 into
motion pictures, and was only pre-
ceded in pictures by two other stage
stars abroad, Nine. Sarah Bernhardt
and the great Coquelin. Her debut In
the silent drama was as the star OF
the three-reel feature Cinderella.
Miss Taliaferro began her stage
career at the age of 2 IL years. She
appeared with Robert billiard ana
Annie Yeamans in Blue Jeans, which
was presented in every city Of inn
portance in this country. When she
was IA years old she was William
Golfers leading woman. Her next
greatest success was in the charming
role OF Lovey Mary in Mrs. Wigs of

The Nord Dakota Herold. a news
paper published in German at Dick

begin publishing translations Of its
most important articles.
The Forum has advocated that
German language newspapers, at

countries. when war broke out. the
use of the German language was
forbidden entirely, and it could not
be spoken over telephones. The
United States has made no effort to
restrict the use of the Geer.ian Ian
guage, but the attitude Of most Of
the German newspapers mas Been

The Forum is not familiar with
the editorial policy of The Herold on

Fergus Falls Journal says:
It is a sorry spectacle to see

that such a large percentage of
the young men of military age
are bound down to burdens
which will not permit them to

tain that the government will
not let them escape the service.
If we are in such position that
such large per cent of our men

that something happened that

lieve that many of them have

that nobody else can harness a

position they are putting. them
selves in, and that they will re-

who go into the service and get
an opportunity to see the coun-

they will be glad when they re-
turn that they have made some

that the drafted man should suf-

does not lie with the drafted

German sympathizers in official

resistance to governmental
orders into the new army. The
government should strike at the

punishment is melted out to the
