the stores to close at $50 on Saturday evening.
The signers to this agreement are residents u

rounding country. A few of the farmers wives rathel OF
iected to the plan at first but when they understood te
circumstances they became supporters OF the movement
as their signatures testify.
We are we'll pleased with the shorter hour schedule
see it generally adopted. Some suggest that the stores
could keep to the old schedule by putting on extra clerks
for the three hours Saturday morning. ms might DC
possible but would it be practical and satisfactory!
In the first place could experienced help be secured to
work only 8 hours a week and would it be fair to ask any
one to work for such a limited time? Unframed help might
be secured but would their service be satisfactory!
Then too, would such a plan be of much beneht to
the regular force of clerks? They would have to pick up
the business with a badly disturbed stock and be forced to
work until 10 o'clock Saturday night.
Dear IF you would like to join in with the other
1000 Grand Forks shoppers, favoring this progressive
movement, which will fully comply with the State law,
improve the working conditions for employees and tend
to better service for customers, kindly send to us your

STEEL RAILS.

The first modern steel rails, of the type which made high-speed railway operation possible was designed by PIimmon Henry Dudley, who was born at Freedom, Ohio, seventy-six years ago today. He became a civil and metallurgical engineer, and after four years as chief engineer of the city of Akron, Ohio, he turned his attention to railroading and transpor- tation problems. His first invention, the dynagraph, was made in 1874. He perfected the track indicator in 1880, and three years later designed the first five inch steel rail used in Amer ica. In 1892 he introduced the first six-inch 100-pound rails. Another of his inventions which made the famous flyers" of today possible was the stremmatograph. an instrument for obtaining and registering strains in rails under moving trains. Dudley gained an international reputation as the worlds foremost authority on the subject of steel rails, and was dele gate to the International Railway Congress held in Paris in 1900.

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
LYRIC.

The wonderful Irish comedy drama, My Irish Rose,' is destined to play to repeated success at the Lyric during the balance of the week. The PoIi Players are doing some excellent work in their various roles. Although the production is supposed to contain a, plot the comedy is so bright and snappy that the presence of the plot is temporarily forgotten.
 Miss Alice Clements. the popular leading lady, learned to her pleasure how popular she really Is by the wonderful reception given her at each performance. Miss Clements has been absent for two weeks past. In the character of Rose she excells all former efforts and her work is re- plete with the old time pep. The other members of the cast are also at their best and there Is not a point overlooked to make the play one of the best.
 Next week the Players will give their farewell performances, present. ing the screamingly funny farce com edy, Tho High Cost of Loving in which Lew Fields made a succession of hits on Broadway. This will mark the final week of the season and those who have not seen this versatile com pany should take advantage of one of these final opportunities.

EMPIRE

Dustin Farnum, whose engaging smile and fine manliness in "The Vir- Eiuian." "T'he Squaw Man." Cameo kirby" and other big screen sue cesscs has won him a tremendous fol- lowing, will appear in a stupendous production of The Gentleman From Indiana" at the Empire theatre to- day and tomorrow.
 Mir Farnum is called upon for an unusual demonstration of his powers in this Paramount production, and whether it be in nimbly picking up a tumble in a varsity football game and running it 1O5 yards from the kickoff for a touchdown. or battling single-handed with Whitecaps in a r1instorm at night, or raving in de- lirium in an emergency hospital, or, later on, when he looks down into the sweet eyes of Winifred Kingsto l beside tho old fashioned Franklin hand press in the Plattville Herald office Dustin Farnun proves he is in a class by himself.
 The Gentleman From Indiana was ono of the big pictures of the year when originally produced and ir its improyed form it will doubtless cause a sensation.

THE REVIEW OF THE RIALTO
(By Dixie HineS)

tby DlAIe I1lieSJ
 New York, May 21-Last week saw the departure of many plays and the gloom which appeared to pervade the workers for the Victory loan. The reason for the latter was the unquali- fled success of the efforts of this group of workers, of which many were stage representatives Indeed, the members of the theatrical frater- nifty, from the biggest stars and man agers to the lesser lights in the stu dios and on the stage. contributed lib erally to this work, and success crowned their efforts.
 Of the plays "Moliere," ''The Un- known Purple,' ''Cappy Ricks," "A Prince There Was,'' Bonds of Inter est" and the unhappy Spanish com pany at the Park Theatre, have fold ed their curtains and faded from RiaIto view. Instead we have some exchanges which promise to prove fair, notably Pretty Soft at the Morosco, ''The Lady in Red' at the Liberty and John Ferguson" at the Garrick.
 The new plays added to the Broad way group last week included a time
 y and tunefuI musical comedy She s 8 Good Fellow which possesses meIo- die merit and exhibits a clever cast or players which includes Joseph Santley, James C. Marlowe. AleXan- der Clark, Scott Welsh, Jay Wilson, Ivy Sawyer, Ann Orr and others whom Charles B. Dillingham; has as sembled to occupy his theatre for the summer months. And measured by the average summer standard 1t full fills every promise. It is not up to Mir. Dillingham's previous standards, however. Jerome Kern has done his music better than Anne Caldwell has done the book.
 ''Toot Sweet is interesting more because 1t is new, novel, original and possesses a sentimental interest rath- CT than any inherent merit. It is an overseas revue with some lifting music by Richard A. Whiting and lyrics by Raymond B. Eagan. The book, ac- cOrding to the programme, is by "everybody" and he and she and they were eminently successful. The members of the company are from the American stag ge, men and women who have just returned from lover there" where they went as entertain CTS. chief among them being Eliza beth Brice, Will Morrissey. Lon Has, call. and Clarence Nordstrom. It is highly suggestive of the primitive methods of staging "fit up'' shows near the firing line, and with the good nature pervading the work of the company, and the hearty response of

l the audience, 1t is quite acceptable
 for what 1t professes to represent, The announcement is made this
 week by Richard G. Herndon and his
 associate, Frank Taylor KintzinR,
 that in addition to the regular French | Theatre in New York a new Theatre
 Parisien will be opened at the Bel
 mont theatre early in the fall with Robert Casa desus as the art director | This new theatre will be devoted to ! the lighter form of French entertain | ment. transplanting the French at ] mosphere with French artists Moth | ing of the kind has been attempted | in this country before, and the pro- motors promise that 1t will catch and sustain the French atmosphere in its most amusing and frivolous moods Music, light plays, chanSons charac- teristic of the Monmartre section and | the wit and spontaneity of French | light entertainers are incorporated in the idea.
 The French Players, another French enterprise, will be formed for a trans-continental tour early in the season. This company will pre- sent a repertoire of French plays in the colleges schools, institutions and other available places. This is due to the demand of pedagogues and low CTS or the Frencn drama in other cit ies who have hitherto been denied an opportunity to see and hear these plays.
 "Who Did It?" 1s the title selected for the melodramatic farce by Ste phen Champlin which Lyle D. An drews and Walter N. Lawrence are preparing for a rather quiet entry in to New York next week.
 Madame Marguerita Sylva has been recalled to the Palace Theatre for a return engagement after an absence of but two weeks. Madame SyIva is an opera singer who manages to for get the raditions of that branch of the artistic field when she steps upon a vaudeville stage, where she is 1 shining light.

Mae Marsh in what Is by all odds her best role is the promise made by Goldwyn when she comes in Spot light Sadie to the West End Theatre tonight.
 The unique star is given the op- portunity to tighten her hold on the heartstrings of those who love her, by reason of a role that no other actress could handle as Mae Marsh does. All those qualities which first brought her fame she displays with compel ling effect. And the story of Spot light Sadie" is one calculated to en- gross any audience for 1t is torn from the book of life.
