Do you remember when the gleam-

swarmed almost to the gates Of Paris
on September IL, 1915?
Do you remember when the mad
man of Europe drenched the fertile
fields of the Marine country with the
blood of his people before the ad-
vancing hord turned back? Why did
they fall back with the towers of
Paris before their conquest-hungry
eyes?

CITY BOARD WILL BE IN SES-

The city board of registration
will be in session at the commission
ers' rooms tomorrow. All voters not
registered and voters who have
moved from one ward to another
since the last election are expected
to register. Women, who now have
the right to vote, must register in or
der to exercise that right. An i'm
portant election, that of voting
500, 900 for a municipal electric
light plant, has been called to be
held May IS. This should be an in
ducement for women to register. as a
large number of women of the city
have been instrumental in having
the election called. They want a
municipality owned electric light
plant and the way to get it is to reg
lister and vote. The board of regis
tration will be in session all day. Dc
not fail to perform your duty of citi-
zenship by registering.

original Morse more nearly than any
other Scandinavian language. These
books went from house to house and
Stefansson knew them all.
When Viljalmur was 16 years old

brother he started r%anching to make
some money. The ranch life was most

ranch and found Stefansson in a dark
little shanty half filled with books.
They were not such books as you
would expect a ~17-year-old boy to
choose. Most of them were philology,
history or science. Stefansson talked
about them and knew them through

Stefansson learned to speak Eng

ANITA STEWART
IN .VIRTUOUS WIVES AT LYRIC
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

Local feminine patrons of motion
pictures will have an opportunity at
the Lyric theater Wednesday and
Thursday to acquaint themselves
with the most recent wartime styles
in women's apparel by studying the
multitude of finery worn by the star
and principal actress in ''Virtuous
Wives" the screen adaptation of
Owen Johnson's celebrated novel, in
which Miss Anita Stewart returns to
stardom after a long period away
from the camera.
"Virtuous Wives" is a story of
married life in New York society, and
as such it had to be accurately and
lavishly dressed" Miss Stewart, in
the role of Amy Forester, wears
eleven different dresses and suits in
the changing scenes of the story.

seen as Mrs. Irma Delabarre, was

other styles of feminine garb are
worn by Virginia Norden as Mrs

CANDLE ALL EGGS
SIGNED TO PROTECT
THE PUBLIC.

Vermillion, April 25.-There is
this week being mailed from the Of
flee of the state food commissioner
here a letter to all merchants of the
state explaining briefly the new laws
relative to weights and measures and
regulating the traffic in eggs. These
laws become effective July /. After
that date all dealers in eggs will be
licensed by the food commissioner
and all scales, weights and measures
used in the state. with the exception
of scales having a capacity of a ton
or more, will be tested by inspectors
of the state food and drug depart
ment. The egg law will make it
necessary for merchants to candle
eggs when bought.
This practice has been shown by
experience to result in great economy
and to prevent the entering into COM
merce of vast quantities of eggs
which afterward become unfit for
food and, consequently, a'total loss.
Commission merchants buying from
dealers will be required to render
detailed statements to the dealers
showing the results of their Gambling
of all eggs received.
Under the new laws relative to
weights and measures all short
weights and false measures are to
be done away with. The laws encour-
age buying and selling by weight
rather than by measure. The laws
establish standard weights OF dry
commodities and fix the barrel of
flour at 1876 pounds and the quarter
barrel at forty-nine pounds. This
will insure 49-pound, net, sacks of
flour in the state instead of forty
eight pounds, as at present is the cus-
tom, and place this important food
on the same weight basis here as in
Minnesota and North Dakota. Full
dry measure boxes are required for
all berries and small fruits, and full
liquid measures for milk. Coal is
required to be sold only by weight,
except at the mine, where the custom
is to sell by the load.
