it stands for the Best People On Earth,
and this is just exactly what the ElkS
plan to be next Wednesday afternoon
-Christmus day-to the young folks
Of the Capital City.
To help entertain the little folks.
the Elks have called upon Aladdin and
his wonderful lamp. There probably
isn't any more popular person in child
hoods realm than this merry little
oriental whose pranks have been learn
cd at mothers knee by countless mil
lions of little boys and girls. Next
Wednesday the ElkS have commanded
him TO appear in person, with his lamp
and his genie and all his wonderful
company stepping right out OF the
pages of the Arabian Nights on to the
big picture screen at the Auditorium.
The production is one Of the Will
liam Fox cinema SpectacleS. In 1t ap-
pears the famous Fox kiddies, the most
wonderful stage children in all the
world. The picture has been playing
for weeks and weeks ut the Globe the

The Elks haye habit of doing nice
things of this kind, and ordinarily they
do not say much about it. but when
it's party such as this they've got
to tell about it, so the little folks will
know about it and plan to be there.
In addition to giving the big party for
the kiddies at the Auditorium. the Elks
have presented Capt. J. c. Bell of the
Salvation Army with 800 to go to-
ward furnishing Christmas dinners
and Christmas toys and yuletidc cheer
for some 200 Bismarck families who
haven't been having very good time
of it this winter; and who might not
feel bit Christmassy on Christmas
day but for these baskets and dinners.

SMALLER CONTRIBUTION
FOR FATHERLESS KIDDIES
GRATEFULLY. ACCEPTED

Realizing that there are many
good people anxious to help in a
worthy cause who cannot afford
alone to adopt for year one of
the little waits of the land of the
lilies for whom the Bismarck
committee of the Fatherless Chill
dren of France is providing, Mrs.
n. o. Ramstad, the chairman, to-
day announced that contributions
in any amount will be received
by the committee. This arrange
ment will permit the pooling of
funds received from several
sources, and thus groups may
have the satisfaction of adopting
some little kiddie of war-scarred
France, who is very grievously in
need of their kindly aid.

NEW ZONE RATES
BOOST TARIFFS
IN THIS STATE
Give Still Further Advantage to
Twin Cities Oover Our
JObbing Centers.

The state railway commission is
preparing an analysis Of the rates
proposed in the new zoning tariff
system recommended by Director Gen.
eral McAdoo of the American rail-
ways. This analysis viii show that
North. Dakota freight rates under the
new plan would be 100 per cent, as
against Is per cent wor western Min.
nesota and 12O per cent for Montana.
The North Dakota rates would be 80
1-3 per cent higher than those OF
western Minnesota giving Twin City
jobbing houses an even greater ad
vantage over North Dakota jobbing
centers than Is now enjoyed.

MEETS BRUCE JACKSON

The First North Dakota is one Of
the bands selected by General Perish,
ing to accompany the army Of occupa.
tion to Germany. Announcing this
news, Lloyd Harmon OF Bismarck, a
member Of the band Of the Fighting
First, writes as follows to NJ. J.
O'Connor:
AT Toul, en- route to Germany:
Just few lines now, as we are in a
big hurry, on our way to Germany,
our band being one of the few forum
ate ones to go with the army Of oc'
cupation. We are rather behind and
will be late in catching up with the
unit we have been ordered to, but
there is very good reason for delays,
as all forms of transportation are
taxed to the utmost, carrying tops,
equipment. rations, ETC., in all direc'
tions at the same time.
Shorty after landing here at Toul
I ran into Rev. Bruce Jackson, of Bis.
marck. He is stationed here and has
charge of large Y. NJ. G. A. terri
tory. 1t surely was q pleasant sur
prise seeing him. as he was about the
second or third friend from old Bis
marck that ! have been lucky enough
to run into He is fat, in great spirits,
and sends his very best regards and
wishes to you and other friends.
I'VE, Of course, swapped news, hap
penings and hopes, the later being
the same-hopes of getting on the
way home real soon. Looks good for
just tbattto happen real soon. Must
Quit now. Will write again next
