countess in kVe with a count Prince Michael disillusoned in his marriage, again meets Marcia Warren, and thei, love story begins it's rough, uneven course.

Finally, the prince comes to her apartment, and finds her besieged The prince and the guards fight and he finally escapes with the opera singer to Archangel.
 The stars rise is consuinmated just Nbe- fore the revolution, which overthrow the Russian dynasty of the Romanoffs, and later when the Czar has been deposed, the city of Petrograd is seen in the tEroes of revolution, and the famous pr@a donna has turned her energies from entertaining the aristocracy to car ing for poor children.

m\ HHEN Geraldine Farrar, the re- WW nowned opera singer, stepped
 on the, Metropolitan opera house stage two weeks ago this evening in the premier performance of the New York season of 1919-2o, with Scotti and Caruso there was an ovation given her that is scarcely ever precorded in the annals of history.
 Beautiful of face talented of mintf 'gifted of voice and marvelously endowed with histrionic accomplishments, Geral- dine Farrar perhaps more than any other artist of today, scores 100 per cent from every angle, and just as she measures up in the operatic world just so does she score in the Cinema world where her marvellous beauty, histrionic talents and wonderful facial expression register perfection"
 With Geraldine Farrar in her latest photoplay is her handsome actor hus- band, Mir. Lou Tellegen. the first time, by the way, that these two eminent ar tists have appeared together in a pie ture, and there was absolutely no limfs to the interest and curiosity of the movie worldin regard to this combina- tion of talent in the splendid picture The World and It's Woman" as was evidenced by the large audience which greeted the premier performance of the picture Monday at the Trianon.
 The story of ''The World and It's Wom- an" is practically the story of Geraldine Farrars own life; her talent and her beauty; her obscurity, and her rise to fame in the operatic world-al of which makes the picture doubly interesting and 
 Geraldine Farrar has never appeared to better advantage than as Marcia War ren. the American girl, daughter of mining engineer, who is brought up in Russia on the estate of an imperial prince, where she has the opportunity of meeting the young Prince Michael. At the death of her father Marcia is left penniless, the girl is educated for the operatic stage. In due time she makes her hit in the opera. Meanwhile, the young prince has married an intriguing

(By George b. Cortelyou.)

81 (Mr. Cortelyou, as secretary OF the
4 treasury under Theodore Roosevelt,
was pioneer in the movement for a
business administration" Many of
his suggestions advocating budgetary
reform were put to good use by later
administrations. A notable instance
OF this appears in Mr.. McAdoo's rec
concentrations contained in his re-
port for >a15 concerning extravagance
in the building department. The war
has further convinced Mr.. Cortelyou
that the financial salvation of this
country lies in the adoption of a ma
tional budgetary system. He, presents
herewith the view as to how this sys-
tenn should operate.)
The government of the United
States for more than one hundred
years has been conducted upon finan-
cial principles which would have
bankrupted private corporation
within a few months.
There has been no public officer
directly responsible for the adjust
ment of expenditures to receipts. No
public officer has direct control over
the estimates Of the different depart
ments.
Prior to the war there was a grow
ing difference in the wrong direction
between the governments net receipts
and net disbursements.

TRANSIENT AT
STARKWEATHER
ROBS ROOMMATE

Starkweather. N. D., Aug. IL
Mike Skhurynski, a transient, who
came to this section to take in the
harvest, is lodged in the county Jail
at Devils Lake charged with robbing
his roommate, John Kondrutuk, OF
$3.50 in currency. Mike and John
came to Starkweather Friday looking
for work and took a room at Gills
hotel, but when the latter awoke Sat-
urday morning his roommate and his
money were both gone. A search en-
sued and the man was cornered at a
farm a few miles from town. He
obediently handed over the money
and returned without remonstrance,
after being taken to Devils Lake and
lodged in the county Jail.
The prisoner had his preliminary
hearing and announced through an
interpreter his intention of pleading

Budget System Guards
Against 3 Bankruptcy,
Says Former Treasurer

ancei was maintained by increasing
taxes and floating bond issues. The
latter expedient was purely q make
shift arrangement. As to the former,
it may be said that the tax rate has
increased out of all proportion to the
growth of the population.
Cause Easily Found.
1t is not difficult to fathom the un-
derlying causes for the disparity be-
tween the increased tax rate and pop
ulation growth. Discounting the
steadily rising price of all commodi-
ties, the fact remains that a large
proportion of government funds has
been spent extravagantly during the
last three decades.
The distinguished gentleman in
1909 was credited with the statement
that 30 per cent of the governments
entire revenue-a sum totaling $780,
900 O,OOO-was wasted annually.
1 cannot attempt with any degree
of accuracy to name the exact amount
of money spent needlessly during any
one fiscal year. 1t is no exaggeratiOn,
however, to say that the figures will
run into millions of dollars. This
same condition holds today.
A problem which increases in inn
portance with the growth of the coun-
try is that of an economic adjustment
between disbursements and current
receipts and the classification of both
receipts and disbursements in such a
way as to facilitate such an adjust
