NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. vs..
FREIGHT TRANSPORTA-
TON.

II will be interesting to the aver
age reader 10 know that it costs
more TO use the telephone wire three
minutes or TO telegraph q message
of fifty words distance of 700 miles
than il does to send a hundred
pounds Of freight the same distance,
and that these rates are about four
times in the United States what they
are in continental Europe. Australia
or New Zealand.
Australia is practically the same
size as the United States. Let US
give you few figures of compare
tive distance and cost: Distance in
miles, $50, $50. ZOO message may
be sent for IL cents in Australia,
New Zealand. or continental Europe,
and 5000 miles for "a cents. In the
United States, for $50 miles, it costs
25 cents, ESQ miles 80 cents, 700
miles so cents, 5000 miles 81. That
is the night letter rate. The result
of our high rates is that we use the
telegraph but little. New Zealand
and Australia, with a IL cent rate,
show and IL kilograms per capita.
The United States shows only one,
and yet, with the lowest letter rates,
we show the highest use-101 let
tiers per capita as against SO in New
Zealand.
Toll Rates.
While our telegraph rates run
from two to four times as high as
countries such as Australia, with
distances as long and wages as high
as our own, our toll on long distance
telephone rates are even more i'm
moderate. They run from three to
seven times as high as the postal
telephone rates of other countries.
Here are the average rates from nine
countries on the continent of Europe:
100 Miles
Continental Europe 20
Bell Telephone company------ go
800 Miles
Continental Europe 81
Bell Telephone company------ 1.80
400 Miles
Continental Europe .39
Bell Telephone company------ 2.40
500 Miles
Continental Europe .46
Bell Telephone company----- 800
700 Miles
Continental Europe .53
Bell Telephone company------ APO
That is, for 100 miles we pay
three times for 800 miles five times,
| for 400 miles six times, and for 700
miles eight times the rate on the con-
tinent of Europe, in New Zealand, or
Australia, for three-minute CONVEX
sation over the telephone wires. In
other words, it costs the American as
| much to ship his long distance con-
versation over the wires, mile for
mile, as 1t costs him to ship ton of
freight over the rails. These figures
Honorable D. J. Lewis in the house
of representatives when speaking for
his bill postalizing the telegraph and
telephone. Because Of this and his
other activities in behalf of the farm
ers and the people of this nation,
especially because of his activity for
the parcels post, there was united
effort made for his defeat In the 1915
election. Will the farmers be as ac-

properly rewarded for his services in
their behalf? II you are interested in
this and other measures looking
toward the complete postalization of

SPLENDID BILL FOR FIRST
night AT THE new STRAND

William Farnum, the beloved idol
Of millions of movie" fans throughout
the world, plays a dual role in Charles
Dickens immortal story of the French
revolution, A Tale of Two Cities, a
big seven-reel special, the feature Of
fered by Mccarthy brothers in open
Ing the Strand Monday and Tuesday
Mr.. Farnum's portrayal of the soft
spoken, aristocratic Charles Darnay
and the devil-may- care, dissolute Eng
lish barrister, Sidney Carton, is a
screen classic. Never before in the
history of photodrama production has
masterpiece been filmed with so not
able cast of players as has been
gathered together by William Fox.
Everyone is familiar with this soul
stirring story of mans greatest sac
rtf1ce for the woman he loved, and mo-
mentous scenes of the French revo-
luton. Following is a brief synopsis
of this wonderful story of heroic sac
rifices.
For many years preceding the
French revolution, the people of
France were the serfs Of the arrogant
aristocracy. Famine and starvation
stalked throughout the land. Men and
women were imprisoned on the slight
est pretext DR.. Alexander Manette,
a French physician, was separated
from his wife and baby daughter and
secretly taken to the bastile, because
he was in possession of secret in
volving the good name of the MARQUIS
Evremonde, who was power at
court. For ten years he was kept in
solitary confinement until he was res
cued by Jacques De Fargo, a former
servant.

is laid the plot of this seasons musi-
cal triumph, Flora Bella, which John
-Cort will present at the Orpheum
theater tonight, following its run of
five months at the Casino theater, New
York. The story is a most interesting
one and, unlike that of the average
musical comedy. is carried out in a
delightfully."- consistent manner. To
this il set score that is equally re-
freshing and fascinating. The book is
by Felix Doerman, revised and adapt
ed by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorothy
Donnelly. The lyrics are by Percy
Waxman and the score by Charles
Cuvillier and Milton Schwarzwald. Not
content with this formidable array of
talent in the making Of his play, Mr..
Cort engaged the best scene builders
and painters to make his settings and
trusted the direction Of the staging to
the best talent. AS for the cast, il In
cludes such artistes as: Eleanor Hem
ry, Irving Brooks, Ben Grinnell, Dor
othy Rogers, Guy j. Sampsel, Adolph
Link, Lily Leonhard, Mortimer II.

others. Then there is the chorus of
beautiful girls and manly boys who

FRASER MIGHT
|. ENTER RUNNING
Says He Will Accept if
Nominated at Grand
Forks Convention

"of course If the party thinks
ought to make the race and offers the
proper support, you will find my hat
in the ring" stated Major @. A. Fraser.
Cass county register of deeds men
toned as a possible candidate for the
congressional race in the First district.
Major Fraser stated that he would not
be a candidate under the petition sys-
tenn, but would accept IL nominated by
the convention which has been called
in Grand Forks on June 90.
Formal announcement that he would
not enter the race was made this week
by former Senator III. C. Hansbrough,
who was also mentioned as one of the
possibilities. In letter to friends at
Devils Lake, the former senator states
that he cannot yield to the suggestion.
"As citizen of the world I recon-
mend to the good people of the First
district the selection Of congressman
who holds to. the imperishable prin-
ciples of democracy in its larger sense
and has the courage to act upon
them"

Garrick TO Feature
Clark the Coming Week

One OF the most charming pictures
that has ever been seen at the Gar
rick theatre will appear there next
week when Marguerite Clark stars in
the Famous Players adaptation of the
beloved fairly tale Snow White which
is the attraction for Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday. Snow White was
directed by J. Searle Dawley. who has
presided over all OF Miss Clark's most
recent successes.
1t will be remembered that Miss
Clark starred In the stage adaptation
OF the Grimm Brothers tale under the
personal direction of Winthrop Ames
at the little theatre where the delight
full play remained for two seasons. Mr.
Ames kindly placed himself at the dis
posal Of the Famous Players in so far
as his experience with the stage pro-
duction was concerned, and loaned
the producers all the costumes which
were used in the stage presentation
of the story.
Realizing how important the seven
little dwarfs would be in the picture
Director Dawley spent a great deal OF
time in obtaining the services OF seven
real midgets. The adaptation OF q
fairy story for the screen affords the
producer an excellent opportunity tc
employ the art of photography in de-
plotting with scenes and other mystify-
ing phenomena which can be repro
duced on the screen with the greatest
possible effect. In this respect the
photoplay version Of Snow White will
undoubtedly approach more closely
the fascination of the original Grimm
story than did the stage play, which
was necessarily limited in its magic
effects.
Among those who appeared in sup
port of Miss Clark in Snow White are
Creighton Hale, Dorothy G.. Cumming
Lionel Braham and Alice Washburn.

POTS and PANS PEGGY"
ATTRACTION AT LYCEUM

Pots and Pans Peggy, the Pathe
Gold Rooster to be the feature at the
Lyceum theatre in Moorhead on Sun
day, is an excellent example of the
talent of Miss Agness C. Johnston,
perhaps the youngest scenario writer
in the motion picture business. Miss
Johnston has been with Thanhouser
but short while, yet she has written
four very successful photo plays: The
Shine Girl, Prudence the Pirate, The
Fear of Poverty and Her New York
Pots and Pans Peggy is typical of
her work. Miss Johnston does not
paint her characters with a broad
brush; she excels in fine touches, lit
tie whimsicalities, subtle humor, and
above all, in a real love and under
standing Of human nature.
Pots and Pans Peggy features
Gladys Hulette, the stor of Her New

The applause became so thunderous
that the music was drowned and peo-
pie stood up and waved their pro-
grams. It is hard TO tell just why
this war picture had such a great

Proprietor Of Oak Lawn Stock Farm
Purchases Ten Head Of Cattle
at Cost Ct $12, 400.

GAINESVILLE One of the largest
and most important shipments OF
blooded cattle ever brought into
Rock County has just been made by
John E. Kennedy, proprietor of the
Oak Lawn stock farm, northeast of the
city. The value of the shipment IN
cash. s12,500, stockmen declare. can
hardly represent the value which this
new Short Horn stock will add to the
future herds of the county.
This is the most valuable shipment
of blooded stock ever brought into the
state, and it is the second largest. F.
w. Harding of Waukesha, who at pres
ent is the secretary of the Short Horn
Breeders association of America,
holds the record for the largest herd
brought into Wisconsin.
Mr.. Kennedy now has eighty head
Of high bred Scotch Short Horns,
known to the trade as the beef strain
of the breed He will increase his
herd materially later. The cattle were
purchased from Thomas Stanton of
Wheaton, ILL.,, one of the largest i'm
porters of Scotch cattle in America.
The advent of this herd has placed
