Senior Class Play.

Senior Class Play.
The Senior Class Play given Fri
day evening, May FL, was decided
success. A resume of "The Man on
the Box" is as follows:
Bob Warburton, alias James Os-
borne, alias "The Man on the Box"
masquerading as coachman, plans
to drive his sister Nancy and her
friend home, unknown to them, from
the French Embassy. In the confus-
ion Bob takes the wrong coach, which
by strange coincidence belongs to
Miss Betty Annsley, with whom Bob
is secretly infatuated. After reck-
lessly driving down the avenue, Bob
steals kiss from the person alighting
from the coach, thinking it is his
sister, Nancy. Bob discovers his
mistake.
O'Brein then arrests Bob and
charges him with abduction. Bob
spends the night in Jail. In the
morning Charles Henderson, friend
of Bob's makes arrangements to keep
the incident out of the papers, and to
aid Bob, who has taken the name of
James Osborne, in obtaining a priv
! ate hearing in the presence of Judge
w aus. l. ne eplSOUS VI The preceding
evening is explained by the witnesses
to Judge Watts who dismisses the
case, fining James Osborne $35.
Miss Annsley, at an opportune
moment, secretly pays the fine and
makes her departure, planning fur
Their revenge on James Osborne for
his capricious conduct.
"The Man on the Box" receives an
offer from his benefactress to become
coachman at the Annsley home
which he accepts with alacrity
Nancy, James sister, visits Betty,
accompanied by Nancy's fiance, Chas
Henderson, but James manages to
conceal his identity. Then follow
amusing situations leading up to the
climax where the hitherto seemingly
humble coachman aids Col. Annsley
in financial crisis caused by the
ColonePs reckless gambling. The
capable coachman also protects Betty
from the unwelcome attentions OF

The American Legion has come
into existence in response to a de-
mand which only such an organiza-
ton could fill. The G. A. R. had pre-
viously been the only living example
of war SCARED veterans keeping alive
the memories of the exploits and
thrilling episodes of war and kindling
the fires of patriotism and national
enthuiasm throughout the land. But
the members of the G. A. R. were
rapidly being called by the last sound
of the trumpet. The influence of
the Civil war veterans is fast drop
ping into the influence of history.
Something is needed to take it's place
No group of men or organization can
take up the work of intoxicating les
sons of patriotism, love of country
and pride in its achievements, its
accomplishments, it's resources and
its advantages so effectively as the
men and women who so recently
risked their all that the country of
their birth or of their adoption might
continue shedding it's light to all the
nations of the world. The American
Legion should number among its act
i've members every man and woman
who served in any capacity in the
late war and it should enjoy the un-
reserved support of every member of
the community where a Post exists.

Religion of Galilee.

What's your religion Pard? When
brothers about to cash in,
And his lucre's gone. When the
whole world to him
Seems like an empty vault without
even Wanting prayer,
To be offered Ger his tumbling star.
Were you ever there
And stood pat in his hour of need?
Did you take his hand,
And point him to the great God in
the distant land.
Say pard, did you ever meet dere-
lict on life's tossin sea,
With anchor lost? Did you hear the
distress plea?
And pass him by like Liners pass
Tramp schooners on the wave
Do you live the creed, that offers
ransom for the slave,
Who fell victim to old Satan's whim
Ever hear of Galilee?-
Where Christ died for a sinner, fol
you and me.
If the Master hand could change
the scarlet soul of night,
Why can't he transform rags into
ermine robes of might
Like fairies do. Bob Burns say
A mans a man for all a. that"
Yet pard Pm afraid we judge oul
man by his shoes, his coat and hat
Sometimes l wish the man from Gal
lilee would come to earth's broat
rim,
So we could pattern by his style ant
take "Tip" from him.

1t seems rather peculiar that it
should remain for Minnesota to lead
the way in protecting future genera
tions by placing a tonnage tax on
its natural resource of iron ore, when
there are so many other states that
have great and valuable natural re-
sources that have been allowed to be
taken out without similar taxes hav-
ing been levied against them. Be-
fore we plunge, it might be well to
know why those other states never
enacted this type of tax legislation.

ISOLATION which was here this morn
ing is opening the eyes of large
number of those on the trip regard
ing the tonnage tax menace which
threatens the range country. Many
on the trip left St. Paul filled with
the beauties of tonnage tax as es-
pounded by sundry Twin City poll
ticians. Their trip over the ranges
was a revelation to them and every
where they found the people up and
doing to acquaint the balance of the
state with the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
proposed legislation. Many changed
their views and say they will do all
in their power to combat the move
to ruin the range communities and the
people in them.

When you are engaged, she talks to you with her eyes. But when you are married she forgets all about her eyes and uses her mouth.
 One nice thing about being married is the fact that a man can always find hairpin when he wants to clean his pipe.
 That has become of the o. f. woman who was afraid that her children would would be Kidnapped by gypsies?
 Many girl who has been disap- pointed in love wears a Mrs. in front of her name,
 Any woman can tell you that she would look as young as anybody If she could afford to buy certain hat she is longing to possess.
 You can't make man believe that any man who has a chin will grow a flock of whiskers and hide it.
 A woman can sit down and ~~worry over how terrible it Would De if she. did not have anything to worry~over.
 As long as man has six hairs left he feels sorry for the poor fellows who are .bald-headed.
 Once in, while married man gets so absent minded that he is polite to his own wife.

First Fruits of Producers Self-reliance

IT UST as soon as the cotton gfower W recovered from the unwarrantel furry and nervousness in the mar ket and ceased offering his cotton on downward price trend, the price stiffened. Commissioner of Agricul- ture Algood estimates that producers of this state have already saved $12,0oo, ,0Oo. 's.
 In ten days time cotton advanced from IS to 23 cents. It will go higher if judicious holding and marketing are practiced. Mere holding is not sufficient. What is held should be available for selling when the market recovers. It will not be available unless ginned and stored. It will not be good for loans unless it is in a warehouse and insured.
