WAR BRIDES" TO Be
HERE MARCH 27-28

A popular attraction at the opera
house for two performances will
be "War Brides" a motion picture
play which is a story of greater
tragedies than those of the trenches.
This is the first booking Of this play
in North Dakota and the Dickinson
Amusement Company has gone to a
great expense to secure this feature
for two days, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, March 9th and 18th.
In addition to showing this famous
picture here for the two days, they
will go to Beach on the Goth and to
Beltield on the 30th, as they could
not book the picture for less than four
days. This will give the people of
Beach and Belfeld an opportunity to
see one of the high class picture
dramas at their home theatre.
The Dickinson Symphony orchestra
has been. engaged by the management
to furnish the special music for both
the afternoon and evening shows here
and the orchestra will also go to
Beach and Belfield. There will be fif-
teen pieces iii the orchestra here and

al delegation will no doubt have some
weight in the final decision of the
committee. .
In speaking of the success of the
trip to the nations capital to pro-
test against the unfair grades pro-
posed by the directions of the hear
ing, MIR. Malcolm said:
ut seems practically certain the
term ~"northern" will be retained in
stead of the proposed classification
"hard red spring wheat" Also likely
the moisture content will be raised
from 13 per cent for durum and ID
per cent for northern wheat to Is
per cent as at present.
"The new grades for wheat will not
be promulgated for some time and
the commissioners declined to state
what might be their final action on
any particular point.
"The milling value of wheat was
discussed at length and the commits
sioners stated they could not adopt
President Ladd's recommendations
since they were based upon different
methods Of figuring from those used
by the agricultural department. The
committee did claim, however, that
their grades are being based upon
milling value Of wheat, but they
were unable to show their Informal
ton in such form as to convince the
North Dakota delegation they are
giving us all we asked for. There
was no possible means of comparing
the actual milling value of wheat
under the different graces so we grain
growers could have some definite
measure of the comparative mill
ing value of different grades of wheat
and thereby determine whether or not
fair and just prices are being paid
the producers.
"The members of the association
are pleased that they have at least
made an honest effort to improve
wheat grading conditions, both in the
state and United States and it re-
mains to be seen in the course of
a year or two exactly how much good
has been accomplished"
The Dickinson press., 1917-03-17

the musical program alone will be a
rare treat as Dickinson has positively
the best musical organization in this
section of the state. Several new
pieces have been added to the orches-
ira recently and as this will be their
first appearance in the city with a
full orchestra.
"War Brides" has attracted more
attention in the east where it has
had long runs at the leading theatres
than any other feature shown for sew
eral years. 1t is a masterpiece from
the studio of Herbert Brenon, who is
now recognized as the most progress
sive of all directors of p~hoto-dramas.
Among his previous successes were
"A Daughter Of the Gods" "The
Soul Of Broadway" IN eptune's
Daughter" "The Two Orphans" and
many others. Nazimova, the famous
Russian tragedienne, is pictured in the
character of Joan, the central figure,
who is betrothed to a young man of
the village and later married. Then
comes the shadow of the approaching
war, and the story follows with the
"war brides"' and the struggle Joan
has among the women urging them
not to submit to the movement to
marry the young women to the de-
parting soldiers.
This is only one of the many ex-
cellent shows which the management
plans to have in the future and the
people of Dickinson and surrounding
country should show their %apprecia-
ton of the good shows and the home
talent orchestra by their liberal pa
tronage.

particularly that the player on a
winning team must be loyal to that
team, must be willing to practice
self-denial and follow implicitly the
directions of the coach. These same
qualities are necessary in the "game

the boy who does not show a "yellow
streak" in play is not likely to in
his business pursuits later in life.
A number of efficiency tests were
given by Supt. Berg in the high
school and IN the upper grades dur
ing the past few days. These tests
were based mainly on grammar and
correct word usage. In Miss Dick
sons English classes the result was
most gratifying. The Freshmen aver
aged L above the standard mark OF
SO; the ~Sophomores 3 above the
standard of SO; and the Seniors 1.2
above the standard Of 9.5. The eighth
grade more than doubled the standard
mark of 33, the lowest being "a and
the highest III. The seventh grade
average shows 7 above the standard
mark. These figures show the kind
of work being done in our schools.
By means of these tests, it is possible
to compare the work Of our schools
with that of others, and in almost
every ase WI average above the
standard mark.
