VETERANS BUY
VICTORY BONDS.
Men Who Gave Much and
Offered All Back Up
the Loan.

Large numbers Of men discharged
from military service are investing In
the Victory Liberty Loan throughout
the county and in Grand Forks. ac-
cording1to officials in charge of the
drive.
1t is pointed cut that many Of
these men are without wo:k and that
practically all of them aved but little
in the army and on returning home
were up against the high prices in
getting entire new outfits of civilian
clothing and yet these men are
digging deep and. helping to finish
the lob here at home ever after do
ing their full share in the service.
Loan officials are we'll pleased with
the response received from dis
charged army, navy and marine serv-
ice men. declaring that those who
have not served should have little
doubt of their duty and privilege re-
garding the loan when these men who
gave many months and in many cases
years to various branches of service
are still backing up the government
by subscribing to the loan.
Officials point out also that many
81 the returned service men have
purchased bonds in all of the prior
loans while they were in the service.

the schools today, however.

REAL ARTISTIC
WORK SHOWN IN
VARSITY PLAY
North Dakota Playmakcrs Produce
"Prunella" at Metropolitan With
Great Success! Principals Score
Great Hit in Interpreting OF Their
roles; Excellent Cooperation by
Orchestra. and Directors Features.

One Of the greatest successes IN the
history Of the society was scored by
the North Dakota Playmakers in h
production OF "Prunella' at the Met
rcpolitan opera house Thursday night.
The play by Granville Barker and
Lawrence Housman. Is a
fantasy Of Love in a Dutch Garden
and the university men and women
who took part in the production. re-
allied to the full the exquisite daint-
mess of the plot.
Miss Olive Pressler in the title role,
made a charming Pierette. Her work
in the last act where the tragic note
predominates, was especially good.
Harold Wylie. as Pierrot, the joy
Gus seducer, did some of the best
work ever seen at a Playmahers' per-
formance. During the first two acts
he was the very incarnation OF the
pagan joy of living. and In the final
scene, when he returns to hide IN
Prunella's arms. he struck a deep note
of tenderness.
Richard Baughman as the cynical
Gardeners boy, both did excellent bits
of character acting
Special credit is due to Miss lisa
belle Barry. who had the difficult part
of the Statue of Love-" To sit with
out moving a muscle through the
greater part of three long acts, IS no
easy task. but Miss Barry proved
equal to it.
In the minor parts, Stewart Cliff
ford. James Rosoff. Thomas Buxton,
Elmer Grandson. Clifford Danielson,
i George Grain, Enid Young. Ruth Ma.
hon, Eleanor Kelly. Luella LaMoure.
Helen O'Connor, Ruby 'Crothers and
Geraldine McNicol were satisfactory
The play was produced under the
direction of Mrs. Ethel Halcrow'
Cooley and Mrs. Lillian K. Rickaby
to whom much credit for the splendid
success is> due.
An excellent musical program was
given by the orchestra under the di'
rection of DR.. j. G. Brundin.

yALE,S INSTRUMENTATION.

Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Secre-
tary of Yale University, spoke the
truth of truths before the Yale club
of Boston when he declared that "the
university should train young men for
good citizenship and no student
should ever be graduated who has not
had a course in American history and
government" The only fault to find
with the suggestion is that it is tardy:
1t should have been made years ago.
A young man who has a sympathetic
understanding of the history of this
republic, who has a knowledge of the
sacrifices made by our forefathers,
who studies the foundation of right
and Justice on which the nation rests
will make a good citizen, all other
things being equal, and there was
never such a time when good citizens
were needed
Yale is suffering from the ailment
affecting many colleges and the ma
jority of public school systems-the
underpayment Of teachers. The
younger instructors receive $1,000
per annum, remuneration at which
many factory hands would turn up
their noses. The salary budget OF
Yale is nearly 100000 a year but
1t should be increased by $4,000,
Secretary Stokes believes.
The value Of, Yale University to
Connecticut and contiguous territory
is made known through the Secre-
tary's statement that yale today has
more students from within 100 miles
of the university than any other
American university"
