SPECIAL SESSION
South Dakota Legislature to Be Called
in January TO Ratify Woman
Suffrage Amendment.

Pierre, S. D., June l3.-Gov. Norbeck
has announced that he expects to call a
special session Of the South Dakota leg
isature, probably on Tuesday, January
6, 1920, for the purpose of raulying the
woman Suffrage amendment to the
federal constitution, and to consider
other matters of vital interest TO the
state The governor telegraphed the
National Woman Suffrage association to
this effect The message was sent in
anticipation of a request from the asso-
citation for an extra session.
The women of South Dakota have
the franchise" declared Governor Nor
beck, "and they are to enjoy the great
privilege Of participating in the presi-
Dental election next year. Now the
women of the nation as a whole have
won great victory in getting the
amendment through congress and hav
ing it submitted to the states. South
Dakota will surely not be one "a with
hold from them their rights and for that
reason | expect TO call the legislature Of
this state to act upon the amendment.
OF course there is 10 doubt but that ra-
tification will be very speedily accom-
plished here.
"At the same time, there are other
matters of Importance that the legsla-
ture should take up. The committee
that is investigating the Missouri river
hydro-electric project will be ready to
report by winter, and believe other
committees entrusted with important
investigations looking to the develop
ment Of our great state will have finish
ed their work with these reports
available, the legislature can take the
necessary steps to carry out such
development program sseems feasible.
While the governor said he would
have been glad to have assembled the
legislature Immediately for the purpose
of acting upon the amendment, he felt
that it would " ork an unnecessary hard
ship and Inconvenience on the farmer
members, who make mp majority Of
both houses, to take them away from
their work during the busy season Of
summer and fall And for the fact that
these committees will be rea.-> 90 report
by winter was an added aud very i'm
portant reason in his opinion why the
session should not be until then

ROAST THE ROOSTER.

The following words by. Mr.. c. O.
Hudson, Extension Poultry Husband
man State College, explains why it is al.
visable that all roosters be either sold or
killed this month.
"Out of every 100 eggs sold IL are
spoiled before they reach the consumer,
and out of every Z are spoiled by the
rooster during the summer months. He
fertilizes the egg, and summer heat will
have the same effect on a fertile egg as
the hen or incubator, it will start the
germ to grow and titus form blood
ring and spoil the egg for food. The
loss from this source is sl5,000,0O0 au-
nually and may be avoided by dsposing
of the males at the proper time. The
hens will lay just as well without the
male and we will be able to save thous-
ands of dollars, besides saving valuable
food

work
Before leaving Los Angeles. Mr..
Lewis was told that rich carpet OF
snow lay along the side of Mount
shasta and according to the usual
course OF nature in that territory il
was due 10 last for another two weeks.
This would be ample time. IL was
thought, to secure the sequence OF
winter scenes. But Dame Nature be-
came temperamental and gave signs
or losing her white. winter coat before
her two weeks were up. This meant
steady work and an untiring hand to
turn the crank OF the camera as well
as capable and swift direction. These
requirements were all on hand so the
task did not prove as difficult as II
would otherwise have been. Racing
against the warmer weather which
gave promise of setting in any day
mitchell Lewis and his company
worked every available hour to do the
filming of the latter part of the story
which Is laid in Alaska during the
winter period.
And when the snow thawed +hav
were ready to begin the s,lmne.

story includes the use of the sauna

winter and summer periods. IL was
important that the episodes pictured
with background OF snow be photo

Sparks Circus Star Eques.rienn..

American girls are afraid to rislr
their necks. that is why the circus a.
composed mostly of foreign perform
| ers''.
So affirms Miss Bedina, English
equestrienne with the Sparks circus
which will spread its tents here for
two performances next Tuesday. Sent
%. She bases her assertion on the
proof that there are few American
women In the equestrian ring today.
Almost all circus riders are French.
Italian or English" according to Miss
Bedina. The women in America are
too timid to risk their lives ON the
backs of swiftly horses, and so they
seek positions in the choruses of the
atrical companies, where they find IL
difficult to progress.
There is more chance for promotion
and certainly greater distinction in
being a performer in the circus ring
than In the chorus of a musical show.
"Of course, you know many OF the
foreign women are apprenticed in the
circus work from youth, and bareback
riding is handed down from genera
ton to another. But then. there are
plenty of women who start in on their
own responsibility and become sue
cessful in the equestrian ring.
II admire the woman who IS not
afraid. and 1 advise some of the chorus
girls who are plodding along in must
cal comedy, with small hope for a
chance to get a principal part, to
abandon the stage and take up the
circus life.
TT pays more and there is plenty
of room for novelties, brains and tall
ent. If the American girl were as
brave and athletic as she is thought to
be, she wouldn't hesitate between mus
ical comedy and the circus"

General John J. Pershins.

There Is no name more familiar In
our mouths today than that o. General
John j. Pershing, generalissimo of the
allied armies in the great conflict
which devastated half of Europe aud
held the whole world enthralled. Pre-
eminently at the head of all names
that of our own American made Cen
eral John j. Pershing stands alone.
This week as you have read the gen.
era1 lead a big review of our victorious
boys in khaki those with whom he
had successfully fought for the SUI
premacy of democracy in the world.
That a perturbation of the early lifo
and struggle of our hero and his life
step by step will be of interest goes
without saying. At the Pastime the
atre today will be shown the William
Fox super photo drama, "The Land of
the Free" In which are depicted the
many scenes of General John J..
Pershings childhood, the house where
in he was born, also the home of his
early manhood, the church which he
attended, and scene after scene relat-
ing the successful rise step by step
to his present enviable position as the
man whom all America delights to
honor. The man of the hour. This
timely picture made as only William
Fox can make, comes for one day only,
namely, today to the Pastime theatre.

Splendid New Role for Charles Ray in
New PhotopIay.

CharleS Ray has an entirely new
character in his latest photoplay which
will be displayed at the Isis theatre
today. In this story, written by
Julien Josephson. Mr.. Ray appears as
country youth who undergoes tho
Universities of training at a modern
military camp.
The story has the atmosphere of
camp life and Mr.. Ray portrays the
character of a youth who bears the
name of Ulysses s. Grant Briggs and
is expected by his grandfather to live
up to all the moral standards of the
great American general
When Ulysses hits the camp armed
with his grandfather's musket of 81
and all ready to go after the Kaiser,
he is the butt of many Jokes by his
more sophisticated comrades. and
When he let's drop the remark that he
once took a CORES ondence course in
sleight-of-hand he is prevailed upon
to appear as a performer at the camp
theatre.
He arrays himself in an oriental
gown and makes his bow as the great
Abdoul ben Mazzazza. All his tricks
go wrong, however, and he retires in
confusion, much to the uproarious de-
light of the rockies. He gains the
sympathy. however, of Betty Martin,
village girl who is appearing as a.
dancer.
He is quite smitten but after he
sees her perform her dance he tells
her he is story he cannot include her
among his acquaintance. Later, how
ever, he protects her by whipping the
villain and refusing to tell why he
did so. His silence results in his be-
ing summoned for court-martia1 and
confesses that he is shielding her.
He Is commended by his officer. and
Betty lets him know that he stands
ace high in her affections. Doris Lee
