MONTE ENTERTAINED
AND "TOOK IN" EDITORS
Commercial Club "Sold" City to
Seventh District Scribes at Meet
ing Last Week

The Seventh District Editorial AS
sOciatiOn met at Montevideo last
week and held profitable session
discussing such practical questions
as circulation building, advertising
rates and service, and the aviation
feats performed by print paper, but
the outstanding feature of the meet
ing was the new meaning which the
editors carried home of the saying
"get acquainted with your neigh
Dor, you might like him.
The editors were shown about the
city on Friday afternoon, and noted
the we'll kept streets, the substantial
business blocks, the comfortable
homes, the schools, Window college,
the Camp Release monument and the
commanding view of the Chippewa
and Minnesota valleys. These evil
dences of material enterprise, pros
perity and beauty were satisfying,
but they are not the things that
make MOnteVideo different.
1t was at the banquet in the eve
ming that the soul of the city was dis
closed, when Editor Lud Roe with
confident pride introduced Mayor
Burnip to welcome the editors, and
President Stennes of the Commercial
Club spoke of the ideals of that or
ganization, and Rev. Mason and SEN
atOr Gjerset sounded the note of
community service. From these ad-
/ dresses the editors gathered that
MOnteVidianS believe in themselves.
their neighbOrs and their city, that
the citizens are proud of the churches
and schools of the city and the things
that stand for high living. that the
business men are proud of their sue
cess in working together and making
such a success of their community
sales days as one evidence that the
greatest success is achieved when
merchandising service and not i'm
mediate profits is the constant aim,
and that as citizens, those who spoke
were committed to the ideal ex-
pressed in the translation of the
name of the city, "Montevideo"-"I
see ftom the mountain"
1t would be we'll if other business
organizations than that of the editors
commercial clubs, for instance
could visit in other towns The get
acquainted-w ith-your-neighbor" idea
means much to the individual, but it
would mean more to communities.
The convention closed Saturday
afternoon following the election of
officers for the ensuing year
Ludwig Roe of the Montevideo
News was chosen president; E. E.
Howard, Wheaton Gazette, vice-presi-
dent; M. J. MCGOWAN, Appleton
Press, secretary and E. w. Nobbs,
Bellingham Times, treasurer.
The editors accepted the invitation
extended by E. E. Howard of the
Wheaton Gazette-Reporter for the
Commercial Club of Wheaton to meet
in that city next October.

Glee Club at Ornheum

The good feeling existing between
America and fair Japan" was pro-
claimed most sweetly in the little
operetta, The japanese Girl pre-
sented by the high school girls Glee
Club at the Orpheum on Friday eve
ming.
The "honors" of the evening were
very much divided; Mildred Adams
as the pretty heroine o Hanu San,
did remarkably good work with
scores which presented no small de-
gree of difficulty; and her close at
tendants, Virginia Watzke and Clara
Lang, are to be commended for their
voices and their acting.
The part of Chaya, the faithful
servant, was taken by Miss Beatrice
Hughes teacher in the 5th and 9Th
Her Interpretation of her entire role
was good, and she was particularly
pleasing in her "Whatever Shall l
Do?" song, which indicated that the
quality of extreme busy-ness may be
found among the calm orientals as
we'll as the people of the bustling
United States.
The appearance of Mildred Leuty
as Miss Minerva Knowall, a prim
gOverness who enjoyed her travels
in strict accordance with the rulings
of Baedecker, made a decided "hit. "
Her songs and those of her charming
and astounding prodigies, Nora and
Dora Twinn played by Marion
Powell and Gladys Michalscheck,
were received with the greatest de-
light
The only male role in the operetta,
that of Mikado, was taken by Cliff
ord Bruer, who appeared with two
charming little attendants, Carolie
Cole and Gladys McCabe.
Much of the success of the perform
ance was due to the songs and drills
of the chorus which included Anges
Hanson, Myrtle Lime, Elsie Buss,
Bernice Johnson, Rosaline Mackley,
Vivian Flatner, Bernice Richardson,
Lulu Nelson, Mildred .Degendorfer
and Julia LeSage.
And a word of praise for the ac-
companist, whose work receives COM
paratively little notice, yet is in
reality, of the greatest Importance,
must not be forgotten; and Estella
Watzke's playing could scarcely have
been improved upon.

A Correction

Our attention has been called to
the fact that in the last issue Of the
Tribune, we gave the Alberta short
course students, the wrong 'honor,"
in our story regarding the Boys and
Girls Club Short Course. We stated
that they won honors in sewing,
when we should have said bread
baking. The girls won first place in
the district in bread-baking contest,
and will be given a free trip to the
state fair as their reward. They
are Mildred Gu1branson, Florabelle
Schultz, and Viola Gulbranson.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
MUST BE RETAINED
Interest and Enthusiasm for Her
Work Expressed at
Meeting

The Stevens county public health
nurse must be retained-of course"
was the sentiment voiced at the Red
Cross meeting held in the CONNER
cial Club rooms on Friday evening
of last week.
About forty directors and friends
of the organization from the various
Red Cross branches of the county
were present, and expressed their
willingness to donate their share of
the funds necessary to pay the ex-
penses of the nurse up to November
1, and to make every effort to estab-
lish her permanently in the county.
Mrs. F. A. Hancock, chairman of
the board of directors, gave a short
address at the beginning of the meet
ing. She spoke of the shortage of
nurses trained to do public health
work, and said that there were at
nurses at state headquarters, for
which no candidates were available.
She also mentioned the fact that the
Junior Red Cross organization, which
had had a meeting just prior to the
directors meeting, had voted to dom
ate its funds, amount to $625, toward
the purchase Of car for the nurse.
Only $500 would be accepted for the
purchase, however, she added, $125
to be retained in the treasury to sup
ply funds for putting on clinics.
Miss Labrie, she said, was particular
ly anxious to have a five-day nutri-
tion clinic, one day in each village in
the county, since the number Of
malnutrition cases among the school
children is very great. By means Of
a clinic, children of pre-school age,
as we'll as those who are older, could
be reached. Plans for health booth
and health clown at the county
fair are also being made. and steps
taken to obtain "health films"
''There is no question as to the i'm
portance of the work." said Mr.. Bahe
Of Hancock; "the only problem now
is how to retain the nurse" Mr..
Cushing, also of Hancock, stated that
the members of the chapter were en-
thusiastic about the project, and
would be glad to turn over their
funds for the purpose. The speakers
from ChOkio, Messrs. DOrweiler, Rob-
inson and Eddy, spoke very briefly,
but very emphatically of the willing
mes of their chapter to do it's share in
the work. c. G. Ersted and Mrs.
Mac Davis of Donnelly also assured
their hearers that "Donnelly will
give what is wanted" Mr.. Norby of
Alberta stated that altho there was
some opposition to the plan, as to
all new proposals, the great majority
of people were heartily in favor Of
it, and that there could therefore be
no doubt as to the outcome. Mr..
Grafelman mentioned the fact that a.
great percentage of the children in
the schools had some physical defect,
which might be remedied if taken
care of during their youth, thereby
making them an asset instead of a
liability to the state.
DR.. G. r. Christensen spoke of the
Importance of health in our lives and
of the comparatively small amount of
time and money expended in combat
ing unfavorable conditions.
The financial aspect of the prob
lens and methods of raising money
were discussed by E. J. Jones of the
finance committee.
