GRAND FORKS
TO HAVE new
PLAY HOUSE
A. ]. Kavanagh Announces
Plans for 500, 900
Theatre.

A. ]. Kavanagh, for years proprie-
tor of the Grand theater in this city,
today announced plans for a $1,000
theater which he will erect on De-
Mers avenue, between Fourth and
Fifth streets. The theater will be
known as The New Grand. Con-
struction work will start on March 1.
Long before the burning of the
Grand theater last summer, Mr.. <Kav-
anagh had made plans for a new
playhouse on DeMers venue but
war board rulings, which made it
impossible to secure the necessary
steel, precluded such steps. Now
hat the bar has been lifted, the
building can be constructed next
spring.
The theater will be located across
the alley from the Clifford Annex
building. 1t will be as nearly fire.
proof as a building can be made, and
it will be one of the largest and finest
equipped ,theaters in the northwest.
The building will be 65 feet by 1925
feet. 1t will be a three-story front,
devoted entirely to the theater, with
the exception of a small confectionery
offices will be OH the second floor. To
give the public added protection, there
will be an exit, ten feet wide, stretch
ing from the side of the theater to
Fifth street.
Buckner e. Orth, who drew the
plans for the Northwestern National
and Northwestern Trust company
building and the court house, will pre-
pare the plans for Mr.. Kavanagh's
theater. They built all the leading
theaters in the Twin Cities in the last
few years.
So far as amusements are con-
cerned, The New Grand will follow
the same policy Mr.. Kavanagh always
has pursued. He will present vaude-
vile inc motion pictures. The the
alter will be constructed large enough.
however, to accommodate any at
traction that is on the road. 1t will
have a complete theater equipment
and will be modern in every way.
Mr.. Kavanagh has much faith in
Grand Forks as a business center, so
much faith. in fact, that he is invest
ing 100000 in n of the finest
buildings in the northwest. The
erection of the theater will do much
to enhance business property on De-
Mers avenue.

Tractor Hurting The
Horse And Mule Market

st. Louis. NO. Dec. 21.-Although
the war proved a great drain on the
horse and mule markets of America,
peace has had little effect on the st.
Louis market. When the cotton mar
ket goes down the mule trade Of the
south diminishes and the effect is felt
in the st. Louis horse and mule mar
ket.
The st. Louis market at the start
of the war furnished many horses and
some mules. but later practically all
the horses for war purposes were
sent from Chicago. Thus. the st.
Louis market was on q firm basis
when the war closed and there was
no visible effect, the receipts being lit
tie lower.
Tractors r hurting the market
more than the end Of the war; said

Christmas Spirit
To Be Found Among
Soldiers Who Are Ill

This year the work of bringing good
cheer to the boys who are confined
to the hospitals will be taken care of
as it was last year. Just now there
are a number of students from the S.
A. T. c. Of the university i'll at local
hospitals; some are very i'll, but most
of them are in the convalescing stage
and these are the ones who will feel
their confinement keenly, so it will be
up to the I'M of this city to do
there utmost to keep up the spirits of
these boys by visiting them whenever
it is possible and by other little at
t%entions that are so slight in them
selves but mean so much to the boys.
BY telephoning to the hospitals
and university, the names of the boys
can be obtained; many of them are a
long way from home, and. no doubt,
will want letters written which it is
almost impossible for the people who
take car of them to do. so any one
having the time and willingness to
help some mothers son can find pler-
ty to do if she or he will make them
selves known TO the proper authori-
ties.

ingly aware that their salvation. as
well as the salvation Of the world,
lies in strong league of nations found
ed on peace, justice and right"
This was his only theme and at.
tempts to draw him out on other lines
failed. He refused to discuss the
charges which we're made In America
to the effect that attaches OF his en-
bassy were involved in plots against
us. However, he denied that he was
in any way implicated with the matter.
He reiterated that he had done ev-
erything In his power to prevent the
break. and said that he never doubted
the gravity Of this error on the kais'
er's part. Recently Bernstorff has
been technically acting foreign secre-
tary for the socialist government.

NEW GERMANY WILL HAVE
PRACTICALLY SAME cONSTI-

(By Frank Taylor.) }

BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The constitution
for the new German republic drawn
by the committee headed by the sec.
retary of interior, Prass, follows very
closely the plan of the American con-
stitution. All the war makers are
now unpopular except Hindenburg.
Probably the worst hated is General
Ludendorff The sentiment against
the ex-kaiser is also very bitter, as
well as the Crown Prince.
But little organized personal feeling
is against the Ebert-Haase govern
ment. 1t looks as though the entire
country was getting behind their new
government very rapidly. Some dis
orders that has been observed lately
is fast disappearing as the food situ-
alton is improving very materially,
and that was about all the grievance
that the laborers had was the short
