people. The. whole East Side turns
out for the performance and Leon is
given a huge ovation. It is just at the
time of Americas entrance into the
war. The excited manager Of the the
atre offers Leon an engagement Of
fifty nights at $4,000 a performance.
But Leon shows him his enlistment
card. He is a soldier now.
= He parts tenderly with his mother
and with Gina. O~yerseas>he is wound
ed severly in the left shoulder. When
he is once more in New York, in the
hospital, the army doctor tells him
that he will never be able to play the
violin again. And the violin is his all.
Discharged from the hospital, he sits
at home, morose and silent.
Gina comes to him, begging him to
marry her. He refuses and brushes
her from him roughly-so roughly
that she faints in the doorway. Leon
rushes forward and takes her in his
arms. His father and mother hurry
in. While they are bringing Gina to,
he suddenly becomes conscious that he
has used his supposedly useless left
arm. Perhaps he can play again. He
timidly takes the violin and, while his
loved ones listen anxiously, plays
"Humoresque" with the touch Of a
master.

COMMUNICATION

The following is a letter sent in
to u by MI. H. N: Swearingen of
Gardena, and which is Of general in
terest to the public.
University Of Idaho
Extension Division
December 81, 1920.
Mr.. n. N. Swearingen, Prin.,
Gardena Public Schools,
Gardena, North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
This is in reply to your letter of re-
cent date in regard to Mr.. Hatfield,
the rainmaker, who is said to have
been very successful in Idaho.
I have looked into the matter quite
carefully and find that Mr.. Hatfield
has never operated in the state. He
did operate, however, in the eastern
part of the state Of Washington, and
as I understand it, succeeded in COL
Letting some money on the strength Of
bringing rain.
Personally, I do not take any stock
in such a claim. I do not think it is
possible for Mr.. Hatfield or anyone
else, to make the rain fall unless the
atmospheric conditions over a large
area are right for such weather con-
ditions. AS a matter of fact, the en-
tire season of 1920 has been one Of
unusual rainfall in the section in
which Mr.. Hatfield operated. The
three previous seasons have been very
dry. If he is going to take the credit
to himself for causing it to rain about
three-fourths of an inch in July, he
should also be credited with the rain
that has been coming since that date.
The people of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho would be very thank
full ifNMr. Hatfield would only come
back and turn it off.
Yours respectfully,
l.. w. Flueharty,
Director of Extension.

IMMIGRATION

Officers of the Association have
been favored with a complete copy Of
DR.. Worst's report as State Commits
sioner Of immigration for the current
year.
Conditions have prevailed that have
not made it possible for the Immigra-
ton Department of the state to show
the results which the enterprising eff
forts and intelligent campaign for
new people to settle in our state war
rant. This is due wholly to conditions
that have prevailed and not on account
of any lack of enterprise or any fault
in the methods used in the Immigra-
ton Department. 1t would be a ter
rible mistake to discontinue this de-
partment at this time. Efforts should
be redoubled to bring new people to
our state in place Of discontinuing ap-
preparations for immigration work.
1t is a we'll known fact and thoroly
realized by immigration experts that
immediate results cannot be obtained
but that: it takes faithful, conscienti-
Gus work to induce the right class Of
people to move to new surroundings.
North Dakota has been woefully
lame in it's efforts along this line for
many settlers have gone through our
state and into Canadian territory
where conditions are not one half as
favorable to success for farming op-
erations as they are in North Dakota.
The persistent and intelligent immi-
grafton work of Canadian railroads
and Canadian authorities has brought
them results of inestimable value and
North Dakota has suffered not only
from the fact that it does not get it's
share of new settlers but that it has
lost many citizens who have been in
terested by the elaborate work of the
Canadian immigration campaign man.

Our new State Legislature should,
by all means, provide for a continu-
ance of the effective campaign which
is only just started but which has
reached proportions Of great value un-

found in a neighboring ash can.
Mr.. Kantor leads his son away to
the toy shop. Leon promptly loses
his heart to a violin, which is marked

only a dollar. But Leon will accept
nothing but the fiddle and so loud

RECALL PLANNED

1t is known that the inside men of
the autocrats of industry in North Da-
kota have orders to get busy on work
ing up a recall election, preferably in
the dead of winter when it is hoped
that weather conditions will prevent
the farmers and their wives from get
ting to the polls.
This recall election was first con-
ceived it seems by the railroad ineffi-
clients who, angered at the supreme
court and Attorney General Lemke,
are said to have compelled the idea
Of recalling Lemke and three judges
of the court, but the exposure of the
plot in the League papers put a quis-
tus on the scheme of the rate-grab-
bers.
Therefore some other excuse had to
be evolved and it is said that the real
purpose of the "offer to undertaken,
made by the bankers committee to the
Industrial Commission, is to use this
"Offer" as a base from which to build
up a campaign to recall the entire
present administration, except of
course, those willing to surrender the
sovereignty of North Dakota to the
grain gamblers bund.
Well, it was a long, hard march
from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, but
our fathers made it and won. So will
we. Let them recall. We have an idea
that it will head Governor Frazier
straight for the presidency in 1924,
and that suits us, and many, many
others from the news coming in from
everywhere.

These counties being widely scat
tered over the state, will give a clear
idea of state taxes to be collected in
1920 as against 1919. The figures
show big reductions, but we have no
hope that this will stop Biz Biz lying
about North Dakota, and for the rea-
son that North Dakota insists that
Big Biz pay it's full fair share of the
taxes assessed.

HIGH TAXES

One of the favorite fairy tales used
all over the country to scare 'em away
from the League, has been the fairy
tale of high taxes in North Dakota.
But the campaign was hardly over
before it was admitted that Montana
was around $1,5O0,OOO in the hole on
expenses and that Minnesota and
South Dakota would have heavily in
creased taxes.
The main and only difference is that
North Dakota has paid her way as
she went along and that the League
administration, unlike it's opponents,
has preferred to tell the people the
truth about their finances.
While all these other states are
nov working nights to devise new
taxes to pay running expenses and
to redeem past due warrants, North
Dakota is lowering her collections, as
the following figures will show:

If the price of farm products and

 Three cars are displayed by Peck & Lines of 185-207 Middle street and these are the Chevrolet, Haynes and Stephens. The three cars represent distinctive aims in motor construc- ton and serve as many factors of the automobile owning public.> All cars are being presented in the usual Peck & Lines style.
 One of the 1argst displays possible is of the Erwin M. Jennings Co.,, Inc,
 of 24-27 Harrison street. Mention has
 already been made of the Essex on

 Moderate Priced Cars
 In the class of moderate priced cars the exhibit of the Standard Mo- tors Corporation showing the Maxwell models proved of great interest. The show includes touring and Sedan and considerable attention was paid to the closed type of car.
 Of interest to autom obi1e owners and prospective owners is the matter of bodies-whether of the passenger or truck type. The Gates Body com pany of 88 Ho1alnd avenue is one of the oldest and most reliable concerns in the field and as manufacturers of truck and commercial bodies have at tained Q high degree of success.
 Brake Things are one of the most important details in automobile con- struction and one of the first consid- erations in the mind of the car oper- ator and owner. Raybestos Lining, Bridgeport made, are known the world over and the product is re- market.

KEEP FOLDING TOP NEAT.

Too few car owners are particular enough in folding the top when putting it down. The folds of ma terials get between the top bows and often are destroyed. With some tops it is essential that all folds be kept from between the bows. This not only lengthens the life of the top, but keeps it in better condition.

LAMPEL COMPANY
 HAS OPENING IN
 REM0DELLED SHOP

The fall opening of the millinery and coat and suit departments of the Lampel Co.,, Inc, 1,126 Main street, will take place tomorrow. Many of the finest and most exclusive design CTS in the East have contrHouted 1n1 blts which will greet the visitors at the store tomorrow.
 The Lampel shop has been newly remodeled so that more show space have been altered and the walls and ceiling of the store retouched= in a soft gray tint. In the suit department a number of handsome new snow cases have been installed
 Predominant among the many hues which will be worn in millinery this fall and winter, is the very bright red. Practically every late summer of the color but it is striking that this dazzling hue should take first place when the gown designers are showing the most up-to-date apparel in black or other dark colors- One especially pretty hat in the fall dis play st the Lampel company has a tam-o'-Shanter crown with a brlIn narrow in front and wide at the sides. It's only ornament is a jaunty little red quill. Another creation has an air of Spain with band of black ball fringe handing off the brim-
 The feather hats or models with feather trimming are for the most part in plain black. One of the very latest hats received for the opening tomorrow has a. soft black feather which is fastened to the very edge of the brim and is allowed to be worn around the throat with the end fall ing gracefully over one shoulder.
 The large number of new suits have a long coat effect and many are heavily embroidered. One especially hobby design Is in blue tricotfne with a panel on the back of the coat and a fringed sash. The panel is em- broidered in black and gold threads. Of course there are a number of the regular business suits severely tail ored or bound with @ neat black braid.
 There is no excuse for poorly dressed women in this city, with q i.ampel store situated so conveniently in the shopping district and the management cordially invite the in spection of the public tomorrow.
