WEST END

Dorothy Gish's first Paramount starring vehicle Battling Jane," which will be shown at the West End theatre tonight, is said to be one of the finest photoplays issued anywhere in many months. That it affords Miss Gish a role of wondrous appeal is con- ceded by all who have seen the pro- duCtion.
 Miss Gish appears as Jane, a mo- mad who rides into town in Maine out of nowhere on a bicycle while a Thrift Stamp drive is under way and who meets with most unusual adven- lures.

PARK

'The Bostonian Burlesquers' are coming to the Park theatre next Thursday. They will present an en- tirely new production called 'NBlts Of Hits" Among the features out of the ordinary may be mentioned the clos ing scene of the first act with set ting which shows a trench in No Mans Land. This is a dramatic feature of great appeal, two laugh able burlesques, one on the opera Carmen" and the other on '"The Tiger Rose" One whole scene in which the chorus girls absolutely dominate everything without single principal in sight; good comedy Is found in the poorhouse scene, the laundry workshop, the one-armed lunch room and in fact, comedy runs riot all through the production. Frank Finney and Phil Ott are the comedians and those who know ot their remarkable capabilities will moi doubt concerning the good use which they make of all this rolicking ma teriaI which Bits of Hits con- tains.
 '"The Bost0nian Burlesquers' is the diversion which they will present next Thursday at the Park Theatre. This company sticks closer to the real idea of burlesuue than do most of the bur- lesuue productions which attempt tC present productions on the musical comedy order. There are two notable and big burlesque scenes. One is g burlesque on the opera, Carmen" fol which full stage is used and for Whicf a most elaborate setting has been pro- vided which represents the city of Sa vile. The other is a burlesque or '~The Tiger Rose" in which Franl Finney the comedian, plays ''The Ca muck girl and Phil Ott, his co worker, Is seen as a member of thu Royal Mounted Police.

I'VE must win the war;" says the
governor. There is no question
about it. But to do this, we must
each bear our just share of its bur
dens. We cannot allow our brave SOL
diers and sailors to suffer hardship
and discomfort while the rest OF us
contribute only in a financial way.
Almost unconsciously we fall into
habits Of wastefulness and petty ex-
travagance. This tendency should be
overcome. We must economic in
every way possible, for only by the
practice Of greater economy and
thrift and a%hstaining from purchasing
the unnecessaries can we place with
in the control of the government the
materials which are necessary for the
comfort of our boys in the army and
navy. In order to centralize our ef-
forts to encourage and carry on a
systematic campaign of thrift and
economy it is necessary that war saw
ings societies be formed in every To-
cality. Religious. fraternal, social and
industrial organizations and teachers
and pupils in the public schools are
especially urged to take the initiative

Kenmare Farmers Have In

plain Store Proposition.

Kenmare, N. D., March 49,
Twenty-Five farmers of this vicinity,
the majority of them members of the
Nonpartisan league, have arranged for
a big public meeting to be held lin
Kenmare on Monday, March Is, for
the purpose Of learning both sides OF
the Townley store question. An invi-
tation has been extended to Jas. S.
Milloy, editor Of the Minot Messenger,
to be present and debate with James
w. Brinton, general manager of the
Consumers United Stores company,
and j. HI. Sinclair of Kenmare, well
known league man and organizer for
the stores, on the subject: Resolved,
that the Consumers United Stores
company is not to the best interests
of the farmers" The Minot man has
signiied his intention Of being pres
ent and the farmers OF the commit
tee, who are members of the Kennlare
store. express confidence that Brinton
and Sinclair will be present to hold UP
their end of the argument.
Farmers in the Kenmare district
are rather worried about the SOS, 0OQ
they invested in the Townley stores
since Brinton failed to meet Milloy
at the farmers meeting in Minot two
weeks ago. Indications are the city
hall will contain a record crowd when
the chairman of the farmers COM
mittee calls the meeting to order.

State Auditor Looking

Judges Arc Carl Kositzky's Special
Avcrsion-Wm Hold Up
Their Pay.

Bismarck, n. D., March 15.--Be-
cause, State Auditor kositzky alleges.
several North Dakota district judges
have made a practice Of filing aftida-
Wits alleging that their work was
down to date when this was
a fact. the state auditor has announc-
ed his intention of holding up their
monthly ~pay-ohecks this month. The
state auditor so acted in the case of
Judge Cole of Fargo several. weeks
ago, but he was advised by the attor-
ney generals Office that he had no
authority to withhold the judges pay.
Judge Cole got his check, and the
state auditor started a quiet little in
Ivestigation which has convinced him,
he says. that a number Of district
judges are not deciding all of their
cases within 80 days, as the law re-
quires. More or less of a tempest is
anticipated when the judges whom
the state auditor has singled out for
a 'payless month learn their fate.
