Another aBest Yste Speech Delivered
BY Local Eduoator On Tsesday
+. s:s .=5: .=1..s.1 Evening. =z., = ... 8.

Miss Boyle was the speaker at the
Princess Theatre last evening. The
speech was regarded by all as the
lbest of the entire series Of Four
Minute" speakers. s .s
] Miss Boyle eliminated all side is
sues and immediately set herself to
the task Of setting forth some of the
ways and means. of cooperation by
which we can assist our Allies in
bringing this war to successful
termination. She began by stating
the indubitable fact that our soldiers
and sailors could not win the war
alone, that they must have back of
them the physical strength of the
nation, backed and inspired by the
moral force of an undivided people.
She laid emphasis upon the fact that
when we bought bonds we were not
only supporting ourselves but we
were also supporting our brave Allies
who are in great need, having bourne
the burden of this great conflict for
many days.
Speaking of the necessity of food
conservation, Miss Boyle made a
strong impression when she said:
"Oh! If we could only hear the star
vation cries of thousands of women
and children, we would all feel with
IN US the STRINGS of the spirit of
sacrifice and an inward devotion to
the aims and purposes we are seek
ing to achieve in this great conflict" i"
Miss Boyle also answered the ques-
t'on: "Why not send corn to our
Allies?" She brought to her aid the
mighty force of logic thus making
her arguments irresistible and rails
ing them to heights where they were
beyond the possibility of dispute.
The speech was well delivered and
we'll received, every sentence was re-
plete with meaning, not word was
wasted. With such speeches as these
given before the moving picture the
atres of this country we can safely
depend upon the loyalty of the
American people, and the boys. on
the firing line can depend upon us
TO do what ever we can to enable
them to maintain the company of
great thoughts, the inspiration of
great ideals, the example of great
achievements, that war-weary Europe
may look to us as the nation that
will once again convert the world
to the golden road of happiness and
peace.

Public Safety has BY order, extended
the provisions of the so-cal!ed ab:
sent Voters Law, Chapter 68. Laws
1917, with certain notifications, ia
the primary election to be held June
~, 1918. Under the terms Of the
order any person iii the military OF
naval service Of the United States
who is absent from his election dis.
trict on that date may vote by mail.
To do SO, however, the absent voter
must first make an application for
ballots in form prescribed by said
order; he must also subscribe to the
oath printed on the back of such
form and mail the application and
oath to the County Auditor of the
County in which he is entitled to
vote. :*-~ -.'
The Auditor will then mail the
voter the necessary ballots to be
marked by him, and the envelopes
within which to mail the same to
the election judges, with full instruc-
tions as to the procedure to be fol-
lowed.
Friends and relatives of soldiers
and. sailors are requested to procure
and mail the blank applications fo1
ballots" to them. When sending a
blank to your boy include several
others, to the end that he may hand
the extra copies to other Minnesota
voters who may not otherwise be
supplied.
When possible, persons sending
these blanks to absent voters should
ascertain and inform the voter the
proper description of the election
precinct in which the voter for
whom it is intended will be entitled
to vote. He may not know or re-
member the ward and precinct num-
ber in which he has his residence.
This is especially true as to voters
residing in cities having many elec-
tion districts. Attention to this
matter on the part of the "folks at
home" will greatly facilitate the
work of the county auditor. and in
sure Che proper casting and counting
OF the absent voters ballot. Blank
"applications for ballots may be
had without charge by applying to
the county auditor or the secretary
of the Minnesota Commission of
Public Safety, or any bank or news
paper office of the state for free
distribution.
1t is also important that these
blank applications should be gotten
in the hands of the absent voters at
once. The county auditors will be
very busy in getting out election
supplies during the twenty days i'm
mediately preceding June II, and so
far as the matters above referred to
can be attended to before June LIST
to that extent efficient attention to
his duties under the order will be
insured.

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM AND
BASKET SOCIAL SUCCESS
Twenty-Five Dollars Given to the Red
Cross Through Efforts of Catholic
Sunday School.

The patriotic program given by
the St. Johns Catholic Sunday school
was success socially and financially.
Each part of the program rendered
was given in delightful manner,
those taking part holding the inter-
est of the hearers and each number
was enthusiastically received. A
genuine feeling Of patriotism was
felt by the audience throughout the
entire performance. Each song, re-
citation or dialog chosen was patrio-
tic or had a good moral to it. The
children are to be congratulated for
rendering their parts so capably.
Miss Robinson read President Will
sons speech opening the new Liberty
Loan campaign. She said that the
speech when delivered by President
Wilson was cheered by listening
thousands; but that the audience
was small indeed compared with the
world wide throng that read the
presidents firm and just words.
She said that Mr.. Wilson is now re-
cognized as the chief spokesman of
the Allies.
Joseph Mahon who was to speak
for the evening was suddenly called
away and Supt. H. E. Qualheim spoke
in his place. Mr.. Qualheim gave one
Of the best addresses ever delivered
in this village. Every word went
straight to the hearts of the hearers
inspiring the very soul with the real
kind of patriotism that will
put down kaiserism He said
that the American people must
sacrifice every means possible to
win this war. To do this, he said,
they should not be so extravagant in
dress, in wasting food, and in spend
ing money for unnecessary expendi-
lures. He compared the laboring
class of the German people with the
American laborers. He said that a
German employee would work a
month or more to earn what one Of
our men earn in a week. He said
that many Of the American women
pay high prices for clothes because
of the style when the same could be
purchased for much smaller a.
mount. He said that this war would
benefit the people socially and econ
omically. s. : ~ >:...-.*,%.
Mr.. Monker auctioned the baskets
and made some very appropriate re-
marks before selling baskets. He
said that he believed that people in
a small community like this should
work together, that if all did our bit
we would do our Bit for our country.
He made q splendid salesman, for
through his work nice sum Of
money was realized. There were not
enough baskets to- 60 around.
The teachers and pupils planned to
divide the proceeds of the social but
when learning that the Red Cross
should not be used when giving any
kind Of entertainment Or raising
money in any way they wanted to "a
their bit as real patriots and donated
the entire proceeds. They believe

Here are three fascinating hats
which show the tendencies of the
coming season. According to a
New York house, there is to be no
waning in the popularity Of
ostrich and to back up their state
1nent they designed the hat at the
upper left. It is black velvet
made in a low crowned mushroom
sailor shape. The facing is over
seas blue crepe and the only trim
ming is a wreath of overseas blue
ostrich tips which are arranged to
suggest waves.
Even the street hat must have
some ostrich. The black velvet
sailor at the right has fiat POM
pom on the left side. It is of
burnt ostrich of that most popular
shade, beige. The hat has black
satin facing and the top of the
crown is the same material.
The hat on the lower right is a
beautiful model for suit hat. It
