The Lamara invites one to come down today and tomorrow to that play house and renew his boyhood. Come down and go along with Huck and Tom over the ground made so famous in Mark Twains wonder story of hu- man interest, that has stood for these many years as the classic of its type in all literature.
 No brace of characters are more American than these two boys of the imagination of the gifted humorist. and the quaint humor and the pathos he-sprinkled in this smart film version of the immortal story is said to reach the ideal in film making. Here is the picture that the idealist has been call ing for say the critics. Here is the clean, sparkling story sans the muck, sans sex, sans anything anyone might object to and withall holding a charm that has appeal for the youngster of so many years ago tried the mother with his attempts at emulating those boys, Huck and Tom.
 The Twain story has been closely followed in the film version and when it played the million dollar Grammar theater in Los Angeles it was the oc- casion for the record business to that date.

for which he asks is to be rendered and that is our problem rather than the ability to contribute aid
 He tells what already know:
 The Russian situation is critical. The allies should have undertaken an active policy of helping Russia, of saving Russia from German domination half year ago. immediately after the Bolsheviki signed the Brest -Litovsk treaty, the treaty which betrayed Russia. Instead of doing this. the allies chose policy of waiting. Meanwhile. the sufferings of our people calling to the allies for help innu- merable and the enemy is moving daily deeper and deeper into the heart of the country. The Russian people are very patient but there is a limit to any patience.
 The moment is not distant when people, calling for help believing in the allies, may meet such dis appointment such disheartenment, and the German domination may establish such grip over Russia and the peoples psychology, that even should allied help finally come it may too late. There fore call for immediate help We call for help. feeling that the Russian people have the right to ask help"
 And likewise he tells us something else we know how Russia suffered and what horrible sacrifices it made for the salvation of France and Great Britain.
 We fighting for three years, since August 1914 and our casualties up to date eight million Of these eight million, about five and half million actually killed and wounded and half million tortured to death in German prison camps.

WHY HAVE FINAL "TESTSv?

In many American cities they have abolished the plan Of holding examinations at the end of each school term to determine whether the children are to be promoted to higher grades There the children are judged on records kept during the entire term and are promoted not according to what they did the first day to the last. .-~'
 This modern educational method robs childhood of all its examination horrors" and at the same time teaches youngsters that they not graded what they may happen to have the tip of their tongues particular day, but on their day to- day work just they will be rewarded later years for their week in and week -out achievements
 However, in many schools the torture system of term end examinations still prevails Children are prodded into reviews and their young minds taxed for few days and often far the nights to pass the examination
 This schoolroom nightmare has harmed the bodies and minds of many children
 Think of shop foreman who based his judg- ment of his workrnens ability and effort upon periodic examination rather than daily and hourly ob- servance! Yet that is what the examination system asks of teacher.-Cedar Rapids Gazette.

A Woman u. 6. Senator

Jeanette Rankin, member of the house of repre- sentatives from Montana, has made a formal nouncement of her candidacy for the United States senatorship against Senator Walsh. Miss Rankin might be content with her opportunity for continued service in the house. if the opportunity were con- tinued, but it has been withdrawn. At the time of her election Montana, which is entitled to two rep resentatives had not disricted so that and her colleague, Mr. Evans, democrat. both of whom live in the town, were elected at large. Since then the state has been divided into two dis trcts. and that in which Miss Rankin finds herself has normal democratic majority of 1000 Mr. Evans has made very acceptable representative so that it is plainly impossible for Miss Rankin overcome such odds. Moreover, that particular tion of the state is rather averse to woman repre- sentaon. If she had had to depend upon the voters now included in that district, the United States congress would hardly have been honored in it's Sixty fifth session with member.
 Miss Rankin believes, thought. that she has lost none of her strength in the state at large and she is willing to trust to the same voters who sent her to the house.
 She is said to have been very useful member to her people Aside from the fact of having afforded a novelty to the house. she has taken more active part in it's deliberations than first term members do. She brought herself into unenviable promi- hence by her vote against the declaration of a state of war resolution. but she expressed herself with so much feeling on that occasion that the country could understand her point of view and to that extent sym ratize with it, thoug!. it not the national point of view. The nation, though having decided upon war, Miss Rankin has consistently and whole heart edly supported every war measure
 It has been said of her that her inclination is socalistc It is rather, though, progressive keep ing with the changing spirit of the times She will have against her the solid force great copper interests of Montana, which Mir Walsh has not rendered himself dstastefu but perhaps that oppo- ston will rather increase the strength Rankin
