EXQUISITE AS
THE BLUE BIRD"
Brilliant Audience Entranced by the
Spectacle OF "A Daughter
of the Gods"

Beginning and ending with scenes
of poetic beauty not unlike those that
characterize Maeterlinck's exquisite
The Bluebird," and disclosing dur
ing the development of it's fantastic
narrative action scenes of most col
ossal size. William Fox's "A Daugh-
terrof the Gods" with Annette KEEL
herman, last night rivetted the as
founded attention of an audience that
packed the Belasco theater and in
cluded President and Mrs. Wilson.
"A Daughter of the Gods" is a
fantasy of unique conception which
prepares it's audience forthe fairy
esque episodes that form the basis of
its exceptional appeal by urging spec
tators to forget for the, time being
that they busy, practical men and
women, and to become, for the nonce,
children again. The story is such
that this state of mind is essential;
and at the same time it is such that
it lends itself to some of the most adj
vanced and most wonderful photog-
raphy ever revealed to a public that
is Injured to surprises.

vigorously applauding the remark

Miss Kellermann.

was believed to have had two OBJ
jects in view. The first was to
halt legislation pending in con-
eress to fix prices at from SIPS
to $500, and the other was to
stimulate spring planting.
The introduction of the price
raising bills had begun to check
the flow of wheat to market and
food administration officials fear
ed that mills soon would have to
close down. Hoping the legisla-
tion would pass, farmers, it is de-
clared, have been refusing to sell
at the present price of $2.2O.
Haakon county farmers will be
interested In the Minneapolis
price which is fixed at $2.l7. The
Omaha price is $2.15 For these
prices the wheat must be grown
during 1918 and harvested before
June 1919.

RED CROSS SALE PLANNED
DONATIONS ASKED FOR SALE TO Be
HELD EARLY IN APRIL. WATCH FOR
Announcement.

The Haakon county chapter ot
the Red Cross is planning to gel
in the game with a public auction
as soon as arrangements can be
conviently made. The date has
not yet been definately fixed but
it will likely be sometime early
in April.
A total of $4,000 was raised
at Kadoka week before last. The
sale at Wasta last week brought
in $4,000 and the sale at Cot
tonwood on last Saturday netted
$750.00. Why should not the To-
cal organization take a hand and
even beat these excellent re-
cords?
The chairman of the Haakon
county chapter has appointed the
following committee: G. L. Dor
othy, Mrs. c. E. McLane, Mrs.
VIM. Kelley, Helmer Eleeson,
and T. ]. Robinson.
The committee will hold an
early meeting, and we will then,
no doubt, be able to announce
the date of the sale and matured
plans for the affair. In the mean.
time you are invited to submit a
donation for the sale, either at
the Red Cross rooms or with any
member of the committee. Live
animals or perishables may sim
ply be listed for delivery on the
date of the sale. We shall en-.
deavor to present q full announ-
cement next week.

ALL AMERICANS CAN SERVE COUNTRY

Every man, woman, and child
in this country, who wants to
serve the country, can serve it
and serve it in a very simple and
effective way. Secretary Nc
Adoo says, that service is to lend
your money to the government.
Every Is cents loaned to the gov
ernment is a help at this time
and practically every man, wo-
man, and child by making some
trifline sacrifice, some denial of a
pleasure, or giving up some in
dulgence can render the govern
ment that support.
Every Is cents will do some
thing to help a wounded Ameri-
can soldier, wounded fighting for
the American people and Ameri-
can liberty. Every cent loaned
the go We rnmen MT contributes
something for the safety and
strength and success of our SOL
diers and sailors, equipping them,
maintaining them, clothing them,
feeding them, and giving them
artillery and ammunition and all
things needed for their efficiency
and triumph.
The Secretary of the Treasury
says this question is before every
American-"Are you willing to
help the fighting men Of our ma
ton, and in helping them to help
yourselves? Are you willing in
helping them and helping your
selves to make liberty supreme
throughout the world and to
make the atrocities, the infamous
and unspeakable crimes against
civilization committed by Ger
many impossible forever in the
future?"

MUST USE WYOMING COAL
NO EASTERN OR HARD COAL TO Be
HAD HERE NEXT WINTER.

The indications are that the
residents of this locality will burn
no eastern coal next winter. The
government has divided the coun-
try into fuel zones, and South Da-
kota has been placed in a zone
deriving its supply from Wyo-
ming. 1t is deinately announced
that the state will receive no
coal via the Great Lakes, the
route of shipment of all our hard
coal and also much of the soft
coal consumed in this region.
Rail shipments of hard coal from
the Pennsylvania mines are out
of the question.
Fortunately new fields are be-
ing opened up in Wyoming, and
although the coal heretofore re-
ceived in Philip has not been
equal to the eastern product,
there are prospects that the quail
ity may improve. 1t is also be-
lieved that storage IN closed bins
will considerably lessen the ten
dency toward Stacking.
The new freight rate to be put
into effect by the government
from Sheridan to Philip is ap-
proximately $3.50 per ton. This
should allow Wyoming coal to be
sold in Philip for about $500 per
ton. The freight, rate of $2.25
per ton proposed by the state
railway commission would pro-
badly have brought the price be-
low $500 per ton.
It looks as if the hard coal
heaters hereabouts could be put
in cold storage about May l, for
the period of the war.

THE GOVERNMENT AND The FARMEl

In his message of January 81
to the farmers Of America, Pres
dent Wilson points out the great
governmental agencies and in
Isrrumentalities in the field Of az
riculture.
Our Department of Agricul-
ture, he states, is the greatest
practical and scientific organiza-
ton i'll the world and its total an
nual budget of four to six million
dollars has been increased during
the last four years more than 72
per cent. Its staff n u m b e r S
$4,000 and includes many highly
trained experts. The agricultur-
al colleges and experiment sta
tions of the country have a total
endowment of $172,OOO,OOO and
an annual income of more than
$35, 100000. Ten thousand two
hundred and seventy one teach
ers with l25,0O0 students, togeth-
er with a vast number receiving
instruction at their homes, evi-
dence what is being done in the
way of agricultural training, and
to these may be added the 255
men and women working under
the Smith-Lever Act.
The banking legislation of the
last two or three years, the Pres
ident shows, has given the farm
ers access to the great lendable
capital of the country and
through the Federal Reserve
banking system and the Farm
Loan banking syatem farmers
can obtain the credit, both short
and long term, to which they are
entitled and which it is impera-
lively necessary should be ex-
tended to them to enable them
to perform adequately the tasks
the country now requires Of
them.
The President touches on an
other aspect of the relations be-
tween the farmers and the ma
tion-"The toll, the intelligence,
the energy, the foresight, the
self-sacrifce, and devotion of the
farmers of America will, be-
lieve, bring to a triumphant con-
clusion this great war"

INEQUALITIES OF CLASSIFICA-
TON.

Some time ago It became apparent
that different local boards were fol-
lowing different rules In classifying
married men for military service.
Speaking In general terms. four local
boards had put practically all their
married men in class four while the
remaining twenty boards had followed
the regulations more nearly and had
classified married registrants In class
four or in higher class according to
whether the family OF the regtstrant

I'm the effort to correct this Unequal
tty. the authorities at Washington sug-
gested to the Adjutant generals once
that a general appeal might be taken
from the local boards to the district
boards In all class four cases. It was
suggested that an order for similar ap-
peals was under consideration for the
entire country. In his desire 10 carry
out promptly every suggestion OF tns

ORDER FROM WASHINGTON.


You will note, however, that the
order was given by Washington and
passed along to the local boards and
appeal agents like any other military
order, that while 1t was in force the ad-
jutant general and myself were in
duty bound to carry II out in Maine
and to refrain frum discussing its wis
dom or unwisdom.
You will note also that the order
was never a re-class. flcation order but
only directed that decisions OF the To-
cal boards In class four cases be re-
viewed by the district boards and re-
classified as occasion might require In
cases whore the local board was found
to be in error. Neither the Governor
nor the adjutant general have ever
had any authority to direct decisions
or to influence decisions of either To-
cal or district boards and no such At
tempt has ever been made In any in
stance.
ANY statement to the contrary
shows either gross ignorance Of the
law or a deliberate intention TO de-
ceive. Had the order remained in
force these cases would all have been
reviewed by district boards upon which
were sitting such we'll known and re-
spected Democrats as Judge F. Wade
Halliday Of Newport. Judge William
H. Newell Of Lewiston and Mr.. Leslie
McIntire OF East Waterford.
