The last meeting OF the ii. II. Club |
was held az the ranch home Of Mrs.
George Watkins, some eight miles
southwest Of Hondale. The weather |
was particularly pleasant, and as a |
visit to u cattle ranch, and especially |
Mr. Watkins, is always very interesting,
there was large attendance. Mrs
Watkins RECALLED her guests in truly
royal manner. After the regular bust
ness the annual election took place and
the following officers were elected
President, Mrs. Merle Pringle; first
yice-presldent, Mrs. William Ferguson
second vice-president, Mrs. Wilbur
Weedman; secretary and treasurer;
Mrs. Orville Suppiger; reporter, Mrs.
Gertrude Danse; trustees, Mesdames

The next regular meeting will be at
the clubhouse on May 10, Mrs. Bennett
being the hostess.
The ladies had planned a Mothers

we all gathered on Sunday, and though
the day brought sad thoughts to some

lended perfectly splendid picnic dinner
was served. Everything looked 80
tempting and so good that one hardly
knew where to begin. That the hos

Soldier relief legislation will have to
wait until after election, which means
that effectual relief for those displaced
will never be accomplished. 1t further
more means that the country will some
day be saddled with the sort Of pension
system that has been burden to the
country ever since the civil war. Con-
gress Is not entirely to blame for the
situation; the people as whole have

was generally conceded that the play

WOULD DIVIDE PARTIES.

For years the two big national
parties used the tariff question as a
political issue, the republican party
holding to high tariff, while the
democrats, of necessity, had to choose
the other side, until finally some wise
gink discovered that the tariff ques-
tion was, after all, only a local issue.
For instance, the south wanted a high
tariff on cotton, while the north
didn't want any tariff on it at all.
And thus every locality had some diff
ferent favor to ask or Congress. Well,
the state of Minnesota is facing some
thing like the same kind Of PROPOSE
tion.
The question Of putting tax upon
iron ore has been agitated for a
number of years, and during the re-
gime of the late and lamented Gov
ernor Johnson, the legislature passed
law taxing the ore, but Mr.. john
son vetoed it. The last regular legis-
lature also passed a similar law, but
Gov. BurnQuist, like his predecessor,
refused to let it become law. Now
from all the Indications tonnage tax
on iron ore will become the issue
upon which the next political fight in
the state will hinge. And yet, from
all appearances it seems to be 'ly a
local issue. The southern part 'e
state, where there sno ir'
wants a tax to be placed on
the northeastern pert, where ther4 as
plenty Of iron, don't want the tax.
And there you are!

LAST SHOWING TONIGHT.

Human DESIRE" in which Anita
Stewart will be seen at the Rex
theatre, last time tonight, feature
which carries one to that shrine of
artistic America, Washington Square.
Here one does not meet the pseudo
artist, but the "arrived" man who
makes plenty of money out Of his
work.
The hero is an artist who one even
ing steps out the front door of one OF
the fine old homes which still line the
North side of the Square, to find a
poor Italian girl resting on the steps.
He learns she has no place to go,
turns her over to the cares Of kind
landlady, and later uses her as the
model for a picture he is painting.
Trouble comes when she learns that
he has a wife, from whom he is sep
arated.
:, The wife suddenly appears during
the artists absence and turns the
Italian girl into the street. Too proud
to seek out the man who thus deceiv-
ed her she lives under hardships until
Fate opens the way to reconcilia-
tion.

Courting under adverse circum-

youth, but Charles Ray in his latest

ed by Thomas H. Ince, encounters a
barrier more forbidding than the
irate father, the objecting mother,

NEW MIX FEATURE.

Screen atmosphere, or attention to
the detail which makes for perfection
in motion pictures, is receiving more
attention from film producers. A
striking example of this is The
.Feud," the new Tom Mix picture
which William Fox will present to-
morrow at the Rex theatre.
Much of the action Of this feature
is laid in. the ante-bellum days when
women wore hoopskirts and men wore
their hair long. The matter Of cos
tunes was easy enough to settle, for
old illustrations were obtainable from
which the costumes for Tom Mix, Eva
Novak and the supporting players
were copied.

GIRL AS A GAMBLING STAKE.

In one of the most intense moments
of her life young girl CANDLES for
herself and loses. What her losing
means to her and to two other human
lives is told in the most thrilling pho
toplay that has been listed at this
theatre for a long time-'eBroken
Commandments" showing tonight
and Tuesday at the Grand theatre
with Gladys Brockwell as the star,
supported by Thos. Santschi.
From advance reports of the pic
ture it is an intense and unusual pre-
sentation of love Of one girl and two
men and the tragic results of broken
commandments in two lives, that
come at last out of their tangles thru
the nobility of the men and their
understanding of the new command
ments." The story apparently offers
as great promise as any ever shown
and with Miss Brockwell as the star
it should be wholesome thriller.
