pany, Inc, and released by the Mu-
tual Film corporation. with that pop
ular young star william Russell, in
the heroic role.
The story is by Julius Grinnell
Furthmann, one of the best known
scenario writer's in the country, who
made n close study of the sensational
scandal involving love and high
finance around which the play is built
its DR. Ss1tic action being such as
to subtly suggest the real life identity
of the principal characters.
The plot furnished n thoroly salts
factory medium for Mr.. Russell. who
Is cast as John SERVER, vice president
of bank company, this accomplished
actor appearing at his best in heroic
characterizations that involve the
graceful athlete in claw hammer and
crush hat.
The young bank officer becomes en-
tangled with Elaine HaSmond. whose
father, Jim Hammond, is a boss gam
bier and sinister power in the met
ropolitan underworld.
Collapse of the bank, caused by

to save his friend and fellsw officer.
the detection Of Elaine, Servers rec
ognition Of the girls character and his
quick recognition of the superior vir-
tues of Marian Leonard, sister of his
chum and a girl of his own class, are
fast moving phases of the drama that
lead up to the Staying Of Hammond,
the gambler blackmailer; the false ar

states, but the progress made is en-
cOuraging.
In no state have more important
measures been taken along the line of
public health legislation than in Okla
homa, this being especially true as
regards 1917. At the recent session
of our Legislature bills were passed
giving the state board of health au-
thority over the manufacture Of all
sorts of soft drinks, providing for Il
model vital statistics law and giving
the state board extended authority
over public water supply and sewage
systems Other measures Of similar
import were passed. The water sup
ply and sewage system control law is
one of the most important acts Of
public health legislation passed In any
state. 1t will give the state board OF
health authority to take far-reaching
steps TO prevent injury to public
health from impure water or defective
sewage disposal 1t will ultimately
prove a most effective measure for
the conserving OF the health OF the
people Of Oklahoma.

try. It's annual mortality toll is great
and the morbidity rate even greater.
There is no extended section Of the
country entirely free from it. Yet ty-
phoid Is an absolutely preventable dis
ease. Inoculation against typhoid has
driven it from the armies of the world
Proper supervision over water and
sewage system even without inocula-

muntics.
Important legislation has been put
into effect regarding the prevention
of venereal diseases, altho this is a
problem many states hesitate really
to attack. Strictor laws have been
passed to insure the purity of food
and drugs. There has been n strong
tendency towards more extended su-
perVision over industries for the pur-
pose Of lessoning occupatioual dis

persons In penal and other Institutions
is receiving greater consideration.
Much remains 10 be done along these
lines. even in the most progressive

The following resolutions of respect
for the lately deceased J., A. Anderson
of the Fargo National bank, were
adopted by rising vote of the First
Congregational church at the morn
ing meeting, March IL:
Be 1t Resolved, by the members Of
the First Congregational church, of
the city of Fargo, N. D., that in the
death of John Albert Anderson, which
occurred Feb. II. 1917, we have sus-
tanned the loss Of a we'll beloved friend
and brother, who was the embodiment
of faithfulness as an officer and mem
Der of this church; as husband was
ever affectionate and considerate; as
citizen was exemplary in every
way, and as a man was without re-
proach. ..-
His efficient service for many years
in connection with the financial af-
fairs Of the church will long be re-
membered; and it will be difficult to
secure the services of any one who
can discharge the duties incident to
the Office made vacant by his death
with equal fidelity and efficiency.

tons and also many Of them on the
coming debate. The tryout for posi-
tons on the debating teams viii be
held soon. We are down for debate
with Aberdeen, Wahpeton and James
town.
If proof were needed that there is
great demand for teachers, the fact
that the state school has already had
a call for ITO teachers would be quite
conclusive argument. OF course the
question is to fit the teachers to the
positions required, but the graduates
of this institution are in good demand.

NO OPPOSITION
TO BIG FINANCE
BILL IN HOUSE
(By Associated Press.)


Washington. April 13.-Congression-
al machinery to grind out legislation
to finance the war will begin to turn
in the open when the house common
ces debate on the $7,000,000,000 war
revenue authorization measure. 1t
probably will be passed by the house
Saturday and while the senate is
struggling with the measure the house
will turn its attention to plans for
raising money by taxes to pay a part
of the war debt. s.
No attempt has been made to limit
discussion of the bill. Little interest
attaches to the measure itself. how
ever. because Of the apparent unanim.
ity Of the house in favor Of 1t. Access
sion of Democratic Leader Kitchin,
who will pilot the measure through
the house to the administration ranks
has left the pacifist element without a
to be perfunctory.
Secretary McAdoo visited the CAPT.
| toll to make arrangements for pushing
the authorization measure through
the senate. He is satisfied with the
outlook for it's passage in the house
and did not bother to confer with
leaders on that side.
| In discussing the bill with the SEN
ate committee. Secretary McAdoo ex-
pressed sympathy with a suggestion
| by Senator Smoot that all the $5,0C0,-
10000 in bonds to be authorized in the
| bill should not be issued at once, al
though there would be authorization
for the total in this legislation. 1t was
suggested that the war might end
within a few months and that it might
be just as well to hold UP the issue of
part of it for several months.
| Mr.. McAdoo, discussing plans for
IraisinR revenue as soon as DOSsible.
said he believed at least $1,000, 900, 900
could be raised through the taxes sug-
gested in addition to the amounts now
raised by taxation. Senators on the
committee hope that the $1,000, 600, 900
bill can be reported to the senate early
in the week and expect no great op.
position to it's passage.

Section 26 of the federal farm loan
act which exempts from taxation
first mortgages executed to federal
land banks, aor to joint stock land
banks. and farm loan bonds issued I'M
der the provisions of this act" is con-
stitutional, in the opinion of Attorney
General T. w. Gregory, who has just
advised E. G. Quamme, president of
the federal land bank Of st. Paul on
the subject.
The attorney general cites a number
Of decisions in support Of his conten-
ton that inasmuch as farm loan bonds
form an important part in the working
machinery of the federal farm loan
act, and since any tax upon these
loans would handicap the operations
Of the act, the provision designed to
prevent such tax is constitutional and
in keeping with the findings Of the
United States supreme court and the
courts of various states on similar
subjects.
