At the Riiou

You will have to hurry if you want tc see Thurston, the magician par excel lence, that is appearing at the Bijou this week. The theatregoer is quick to reeog- nze merit and the greatest tribute to any show is to sell out the house. This has occurred at every performance this week.
 Thurston is popular for many reasons. First, he is a master of his profession; second, tricks are new and original; third, he is prodigal in staging his act, and, fourth, he put it over' in the most en- tertainng and pleasing manner.

OPPOSE Plan
TO DEPOPULATE
STATE SCHOOLS
National Labor Organization
Calls on Macdonald to
Head Off Movement

Bismarck, N. d, May 4.-The plan
Of Attorney General William 8. Lang
or to depopulate the schools OF North
Dakota during the spring months In
order that the pupils. young and old.
may assist the farmers with their
seeding, IL strenuously opposed by the
National Child Labor committee,
Woodrow Wilson, william II. Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt. Writing from
New York headquarters to superin-
tendents Of schools In North Dakota,
Owen r. Lovejoy, general secretary Of
this committee. says:
Children can undoubtedly, perform
such service as the president suggests
in calling upon 'able-bodied boys Of
the land to turn in hosts TO the farms,
and no child's desire to help should be
allowed to fall OF expression. But TO
ship boys and girls indiscriminately
to the farms would be both extrav-
agant and wastefuI. The best farmers
will be the first to protest against
such action, for the farmer has no
time nor facilities for housing or
breaking in an army OF small. ineffi-
cient workers.
"The council Of national defense has
urged that no standards protecting
women and children be lowered at
thusiasm, some state officials desire to
waive all compulsory education and
child labor laws. The policy OF recruit
ing agricultural and factory workers
from the school children eleven to
years old, adopted in Great
Britain at the beginning of the war,
already stands revealed as short
sighted, and standards too recklessly
set aside are now being restored. Sir

BAD BOYS REFORMED
Head of Mandan Industrial School Says
They Will Make Fine Soldiers.

Bismarck. N. D., May 4.-'Bad
boys" whose surplus energy has been
directed along right channels by for
mer Governor J. M. Devine. superin-
tendent of the state industrial school
at Mandan, now approaching man
hood, are ready to show the stuff
that's in them by joining the colors.
Governor Devine. who was in the city
yesterday, stated that he has a number
of fine. stalwart young men, about to
be paroled, who have signifled their
intention Of existing.
Three Of the Mandan boys served
with the North Dakota regiment on
the border and gave good account of
themselves. Others are now with the
colors in Minnesota. 'Tll bank on these
chaps" said Governor Devine. II know
what's in them. They'll make good
citizens and they'll make fine soldiers,
and am glad they are going to have
a chance"
Most of the boys who have gone to
Mandan have been committed as in
corrigible. To Governor Devine a boy
who cannot be managed means one
whom no one has taken sufficient in
terest to manage. He has taken
such boys and made of them men who
now are ready to respond to the ma
tons call.

GRAIN FOR FOOD:
NONE FOR WHISKEY
10 Slogan Of Stark County Farmers
Vine Report Wheat Seeding
Backward.

Dickinson, N. D., May 4.-Stark
county farmers are willing to place
their farms at Uncle Sans service in
tilling every acre available for food
conservation, but are not willing to
expend their time and labor at this
critical period for that which is an
actual waste.
Seeding Is very backward on ac-
count of the late season and not over
fifty per cent, If that, is yet in the
ground, and because the season is so
late, It is possible that q larger
amount of feed and fax will be sown
than wheat, inasmuch as the expert
ences OF last year in late sown grain
with rust was almost total loss in all
late sown wheat.
The seed so far sown cannot make
any Roadway until there is warmer
weather.
