WHERE EIS TIE CHORUS
 G|RL OF YESTERYEkR?

Where are the chorus girls of yester- year? The type usually conceived by the layman, never at first hand, of course, but the mental picture of what a little, bewitching maiden with blonde locks ought to be like-one who cayorts about on the stage and during the interim, naturally pictured as a real heartbreaker, who ''vamps" the mil Honaires son and elopes with him on the eve of his marriage to a member of the eclat.
 But, alas, the story is out, and a few minutes chat with any member of the Redmond Follies girls, now playing at the American theater will explode any pet conception. No longer do they permit themselves to be termed mem
 bers of the merry merry" not even the term chorus will do, for they are "choristers." if you please. When you go nosing around for little interview with these dancing maideus. brush up on the vital topics of the day and be prepared to blandly cd ''yes' and mo- as they expound their pet theories on science, philoso- phy or war.
 Billie, for instance, is a deep art student and while she does not lay 1 claim to ownership of any original can NeiS ny IltS great Su6 possesses 1 copies of nearly all and speaks as familiarly and lovingly of Corot or Rembrandt as if they were of her own family, while on, the other hnnd Eva is
 a student of history and rattles off dates of battles, names of the generals and tactics employed, in a way that is 1 amazing.
 Cecil delves into botany and knows
 well every phase of plant life and there is Grace, who carries about a trunk load of rocks and discoUrses on geology as if it were an every day topic. Domestic science is HazePs hobby
 and she can tell you to a fraction the
 amount of caIories in any dish that she turns out.
 Numismatics is Dorothea's delight l and she possesses 9. collection of real rare coins. And then comes Christy,
 who converses as familiarly on the
 various forms of worship as one would
 of everyday happenings. She is able to recite and analyZe passages from the Koran or Talmud as well as from the New Testament and has even delved
 into the origin and connecting link of l the various form of sunworshipers,
 while on the other hand there is Leone,
 who devotes all of her spare time to 1 the study of dramatic literature.
 If you dispute their theories, come 1 prepared with facts for each one has l her pet hobby and they fairly revel in
 producing facts to back up their as sertions.

TO MAKE AIRPLANE INVISIBLE

Many efforts have been made recent O ly to make the airplane invisible from the earth when it is soaring through ether. One idea calls for the use O. transparent material, at least for all purposes where q canvas covering is used at present, such as the wings an l the fuselage.

GENTLEMAN VILLAIN IS MR. BERT HADLEY

There is always one man in a stock company whose efforts in artistic abil- ity are rarely recognized by an audi ence, because the better and the harder he works the more anxious are his hearers to see his speedy finish. He is literally known as the heavy man, but in reality he is the goat" to use the latter-day slang phrase. Such ic Bert Hadleya of the Del s. Lawrence stock company now playing at the Elks theater. Mir Hadley has been playing the heavy or the goat for several years and, as is generally the case with stage villains away from the theater he is the most unassumins- quiet, refined gentleman, the last per son in the world to be suspected Of the many crimes he has been accused of by leading. ladies, ingenues. sou brettes and leading men all over the country.

"BARK-ENUFF" OF ST. THOMAS BARKs

The l. V. AS. made their initial bow into the
present political fight on Monday evening at
the Grand Theatre by introducing Rev.. Birch
enough of st. Thomas. Mr.. A. Benson intToduc-
ed the speaker with a short address. Then
Barkenuf started and his address was quite
lengthy.
The Rev. Gentleman (?) has at his command
the greater part of the English language and
also the greater part of the phrases used by
Socialist Soap-box orators. His Reverence es-
tablished beyond any doubt to himself, Sam
Wilson, Jerry. Daley, Andy Johnston and the
League is connected up with the Bolsheviks of
Russia, Gene Debt, the strikers Of Winnipeg and
even went so far as to say the recent bomb
throwers in the East, and he corroborated the
veracity of his statements by stating he was a
Christian minister and a member of the Mason
ic lodge. The local sea lawyers just referred to
gave this great applause. He told his audience
of the terrible secret caucus and the Infamous
steering committee at Bismarck and Geo. Men
ME had him gasping for breath for a few min
utes when he asked him if they did not have
steering committees in Washington in the Sen
ate and House. The speaker thought they had
but they were different from the kind in North
Dakota. We suppose he figures they are intelli-
gent gentlemen at Washington for he said in
his speech what do you farmers know about
making laws?" He did not tell his audience
that the Methodist church Of Canada has start
far-reaching than Townley or Mills ever dream
ed to see in this country. So according to the
Rev. Gentleman's logic, the Methodist church
of Canada must be behind the strikers Of Win
nipeg, the Bolsheviks of Russia, etc.
! Mr.. Barky thought that North Dakota has
mo man big enough to run the State Bank, hence
it will be a failure. We will admit Pembina
county hasn't a banker big enough, especially
st. Thomas, but the Rev. Gentleman should not
measure the rest of the state by his local sur
%roundings.
There was around 300 in the audience, one
third of whom left before he finished. Some
difference in sizes of crowds following Townley
and Mills within a week.
One Nonpartisan League organizer Tuesday
got $1,000 out of one mountaineer who stated
he would never have had it if he had not heard

TURNING OUR LOSSES INTO GAIN

Pres. J. H. Worst lost his job as president of
the Agricultural College for declaring that the
farmers are robbed of $55, 10000 a year thru
false weighing, unfair dockage, dishonest grad
thy m%iddlemen. This SIS, 600, 900 robbery was a
terrific fact that the big interests could not
have staring them in the face and continue to
exist. In spite of the precaution they took to
remove the man who uttered it from an influen-
tial position, it finally overthrow them and
wrested a state from their grasp.
Now comes DR.. Laid, who took up the cud-
gel as soon as it was struck from the grasp of
Pres. Worst anil puts this same fact in a still
more revolutionary light. He said a few days
ago that this $55, 0 $1,000 was a conservative es-
innate, and went further by declaring that it
represents approximately what the new North
Dakota laws will save to the farmers in the mar
keting of their grain crops alone.
Once let the farmers grasp the significance
of these figures and all the power and cunning
of all the monopolistic and financial interests
in America cannot stop them from putting these
laws into effect. Fifty-five million dollars a year
means approximately 5000. per pear per farm
families now, enjoy. Such an advance in income
to the common people over such a wide area
would mean the biggest change in the lives OF
the people and the biggest gain for democracy
America has ever seen. it would mean the be-
ginning of all the higher things Of life for the
paratively short period of time, make agricul-
tural life the most pleasant, happy and attrac-
tive in the country.
But it is not to be supposed that the farmer
would realize this entire benefit. Part Of it
would accrue to the consumers in the way of q
lowered cost of living, but grant one half Of this
gain to the consumers, the remaining $3.50 pei.
farm family is a mighty step forward when one
stops to consider that the new laws save moneH
for the farmers in so many other directions, in
Guiding the lowering Of interest rates through
the operations Of the State bank, abolition Of
freight determinations, the lowering OF taxes
by establishment of public industries, the lower
ing Of fuel and power prices by the state op-
GRAFTON of coal mines, the lowering OF hail IN
suranece rates by state operation, and in many
other ways. #
