Lorenzo Todd in his childhood had
been strictly dealt with. Growing into
manhood he became morose and
grouchy. But three had access to his
affections. One was Dudley Phillips,
his youthful rival in love, and Virginia,
Phillips daughter, was the second, and
thirdly came his own son, Warren,
whom he loved best of all. Warren
and Virginia are engaged to be mar
ried but he decides before he takes
this step that he will sow his final
crop of wild oats, his favorite diver
sion being chorus girls.
Phillips objects to Warren's actions
and he and Todd finally split on this
score, both declaring that their child
shall not marry the other. Warren and
his father finally disagree and he
leaves home. Meanwhile Todd has
grown so grouchy it affects his health
and his doctor tells him if he wants
to live he must go to Arizona, and his
heart finally does radiate as he gets
a new hold on himself among the
splendors of the Grand Canyon. Fate
throws them all together again at
the last at Chrstmastide. Warren and
Virginia are married and it ends hap
PLY for all concerned.

To the charming village of Old
Chester comes Helena Richie in
search of balm for broken heart.
Her dissolute husband has with his
own hands killed their little child,
and this tragedy induces Helena TO
listen to the pleadings of Lloyd Pryor
to leave Paris and come to America
with him.
Pryor makes frequent visits TO Hell
ena and the townspeople accept the
statement that he is her brother, Old
Benjamin Wright. however, has his
own suspicious. His interest is more
than a casual one. for his grandson,
Sam Wright, is madly in love with
Helena. The old man tells him his
belief. Sam asks her whether the
suspicion has any foundation, and
when she admits that it has he kills
himself.
DR.. Lavendar has in his charge
child who needs home. He has de-
cided to send the little boy. David,
to Mrs. Richie for a trial visit. She
welcomes the boy, who fills the place
in her heart left vacant by the death
OF her child.
Helena's husband has been in such
feeble health, owing to his dissipa-
tions, that she has constantly ex-
pected his death to release her, so
that she and Pryor can be married.
Finally the long-expected event hap
pens, but Pryor has tired of her. He
tells her that she must give up David.
She refuses and he tells her she must
choose between the child and him
self. Realizing Pryor's unworthi-
ness, she clings to the child.
Helena goes TO DR.. Lavendar, tells
him the truth about her past rela-
tions with Pryor and asks him to let
her keep the child with her always.
The old mans answer is: Can you
teach him to tell the truth, you who
have lived a lie?" Helena is silent in
the face of this question. She de-
cides to give David up, and to leave.
She tells DR.. Lavendar that on her
way to the station she will come to
bid David goodbye.

The story is by Agnes C. Johnston
and is another example of her ability
to write in simple unaffected way of
real human beings. There are little
touches throughout that win your
sympathy and tug at your heart
strings.
There is little brown hen that
diligently lays the eggs to make. it
possible for Phoebe to buy a ticket
to her New York, where Philip. who
has fallen in love with her during his
vacation, is trying to write poems and
sell them so that they can get mar
ried.
There is also an adopted baby
called Johnny" who is found on the
dumbwaiter. There is Philips wealthy
employer who attempts to ruin him
so that he may win Phoebe. and
there is the woman of the gilded cage
who helps him work out his devlish
plot until it becomes too rotten, even
for her.
The story develops to a powerful
CLIMAX when this woman appears and
claims Johnny as her own and Philip
as the man who has deserted her,
Phoebe's little heart is nearly break
ing, but things take a turn for the
better as they have a way of doing
in real life. The Thanhouser company
has furnished splendid settings and
fine supporting cast. The photogra-
ply and direction are excellent. Those
who have important parts are William
Parke, jr., who is Philip; Riley Cham
berlin, Carey Hastings, Robert Vaughn
and Ethyle Cooke.

TEUTON U-BOATS FAIL
IN ATTACK ON TRANSPORT
Second Attempt Of Submarines Results
In Their Being Driven Off by U. 8.
Destroyers.

Washington, July 1.-Two days after
German submarines made their at
tacks on the transports carrying the
American expeditionary forces 30
France an attack was made by o.
boats on big navy transport carry
ing gold to pay the American troops
and a large cargo OF provisions. The
transport escaped with the aid Of
American destroyers. %
These facts became known in cable
dispatches just received here.
The conflict occurred near the
French coast. In the fight were the
transports, two American torpedo de-
stroyers and two German submarines.
The warships held off the submarines,
forcing them into position from
which their fire was without effect.
The transport headed for shore, going
dangerously close to shallow water.
but the strategy employed enabled it
to be less free from attack by the
U-boats.

STATE COMMISSIONS AIMS
JOHN LIND WRITES HIS VIEWS
OF SITUATION TO OLD
H. FRIEND

Eric Olson of. Dunnell wrote a Wig
orous letter to John Lind of the Public
Safety commission of Minnesota, point
ing out what he considered foolish re-
| quirements and offers that were being
made to farmers. Mr.. Lind replied in
the following reassuring letter, in which
only the personal references have been
omitted:
eyes, the governor chose me as one
of the 'bosses,' and I hope to be an
easy boss in the sense that I will not
undertake to do much mischief if ]
cannot do any good: agree with you
that there has been lot of hot all
and newspaper claptrap in connection
With the whole situation growing out
Of the European war.
| cit has always been my observation
that very little is accomplished by
noise and hysteria. I have never felt
that there was any immediate prospect
of starvation in this state or nation,
nor did I ever feel that our good old
Minnesota farmers needed any urging
to plant and sow if it paid them fairly
| well to raise crops. But agree with
you that the business of the commits
sion, of which I am member, is to be
of assistance to the farmers in getting
help to harvest and care for the crops
that are sown and planted. If we can
do this, we will be doing fairly we'll.
Personally have not been much wor-
ried that our German friends would
shoot up their neighnors or destroy
their own property. I am not lying
away nights to devise schemes to fight
the Germans, or anybody else in the
United States.
"In every commission and in every
movement there are some 'bell ring
ers' as you know from experience. I
suppose the safety commission will
have it's share of them. But it is our
purpose to do some useful work. First
Of all, we are ~oing to try to ascertain
how much help is needed in the coun-
try. Then we want to get the people
in each county to org&nize the surplus
man power in the villages to help with
the work in that county, as you sug-
gest, as far as possible. If a county
by outstanding it's own recources can
take care Of its work it is great deal
better than it is to bring in too many
strangers willing to work and unwill
ing, fit and unfit. There are lots of
people in the city who would do good
work on the farms and who would be
vastly benefited bv little sweating
through the busy months. I realize,
as you suggest, that men who can stay
only couple Of weeks are not much
help to the farmers. But I think that
with proper cooperation on the part Of
the business men in the cities, and
those engaged in industry, it can be
arranged so that portion of the force
can go out to the farms and remain
two or three months, long enough to be
of some real substantial help.'

WILL REFUND LICENSE FEES
COUNCuMEN AGREE TO RETURN
UNUSED MONEY IL SALOONS
ARE CLOSED UP

The city council held an adjourned
meeting at the city hall Friday eve
ming to act on the application Of Mrs.
Jess Monahan for a liquor license. The
license was granted and her bond was
approved. . ...s-.. .....
The question as to whether the bal
ance Of the liquor license money would
be refunded to the saloonkeepers in
event that the saloons should be closed
by an order of the Minnesota State
Safety commission, after the licenses
had been taken out, was brought up.
Several of the saloonkeepers indicated
that unless they were assured that the
looms were closed, they would not take
out license. The council took no ac-
ton in the matter but all the aldermen
favored refunding the unused portion
Of the fee if such an order should be
made.
An ordinance, the passage of which
was requested by the Minnesota Public
Safety Commission, prohibiting the
teaching, advocating or advising of
crime or violence as means of accom-
plishing industrial or political ends, or
disregard or violation of the statutes
of this state or the United States, or
that citizens Of this state shall not or
ought not to aid the United States in
the prosecution Of the war against the
public enemy, was laid over until the
next meeting as the aldermen consid-
cred the ordinance too drastic and wide
in its scope to be acted upon without
due consideration. The ordinance pro-
vided that violators of this ordinance
should be deemed Migrants and the
punishment provided for in the propos-
ed ordinance was not to exceed 90 days
in jail or fine mt to exceed $10C.
The council granted R. H. Vessel of
|St. Paul, a road oiling contractor, the
use of the city oiling machine for five
or six days to oil the streets of Foley,
Mr.. Vessel to pay all expenses and de-
post check for 5000 to cover possible
damages to the machine
