mOre-I think lot more of q person
who is faithful to someone they've
loved than to marry for the sake of
are that. Some of the married ones
have been so afraid they'd be thought
unpopular and unwanted that they've
married out of sheer cowardice."
This was very puzzling. Had Eliz-
abeth loved someone in her earlier
days-perhaps when she had gone
away On a visit? No one knew. But
everyone was puzzled. So much puz-
zled that they asked no more Ques-
tons. They stopped telling her she
should marry Howard. They stopped
telling her what wonderful husband
he would make, and how much he
loved her.
They were specializing ON which Wis
it it could have been when the trag-
edy occurred. And had the mysteri-
Gus man married or had he been al
ready married and SO Elizabeth, as
a nice, quiet girl had quickly taken
herself home and out of the way7
1t was showing hard. Elizabeth
was getting together her Christmas
presents when the door bell rang.
Outside stood Howard.
II thought perhaps you'd not mind
If I went with you when you took
around the presents" he said. II
knew it was just about your time. "
How lovely it was outside. The
snow was falling, the air was so clear
and cool. and here was Howard, so

they said. 1--WE all know you have
the opportunity to do so every time
he goes to see you. We would wager
he'd proposed any number of times"
II don't know about that" Eliza
beth would laugh. They could get
nothing out Of her.
Once some of them spoke to How
ard.
1--WE wish you two would get mar
ried. We're tired Of seeing you court
ing all the time"
Howard smiled.
Its up to Elizabeth" he said.
One woman spoke to Elizabeth one
day in very serious fashion.
"The trouble with you," the woman
said, sis that you've always had so
much attention. Not only Howard,
but everyone has been charmed by
you, and you think that will go on to
the end Of time. You'll find it won't.
They'll stop, and then, where will
you be?'
II don't want to be married so as
to escape being an old maid" Eliz-
abeth laughed. 1--WE seen too many

to boast Of what she could do!
At last came the dessert-mince pie
and apple pie and plum pudding, too.
How Bert's eyes opened wide with
surprise when he saw the pudding.
"What did you mean when you said
you were going to have new kind
Of dinner without any Of the Christ
mas trimmings2" asked Uncle George.
"My wife likes surprises" Bert
beamed. And after they had all gone,
Bert said:
"They behaved atrociously, but oh !!
How proud was Of you. And Ma
rian darling"
Eyes, dear?"
"The plum pudding was the best
that has ever been served at any
Christmas dinner at any time / know"

smiled.

Baron a True Diplomat.

From London comes story Of
Baron Hayashi, which, if not true, de-
serves to be true. And IL 1t is true,
he is diplomat to his finger tips.
At dinner recently he sat next to a
lady who talked to him for an hour.
When the coffee hove in sight, said
the lady, "You must think I am very
fond Of the sound of my own voice"
Said the baron: 81 knew you liked
music."-Japan Advertiser.

days Marian planned her Christmas
dinner. She sailed nuts, she made
cranberry sauce. She ordered a fine
young turkey. She wasn't nervous
about the turkey-that was just about
as easy as chicken.
Yes, she was planning to have the
old-time Christmas dinner. She
wouldn't tell Bert. She would sur
prise him. And then, if she did tell
him, she might be more nervous about
the things she had planned to do, feel
ing that he was going to be so proud
of her that she couldn't fulfill his ex-
pectations Of her success.
SO she worked and planned and
schemed.
And that Christmas eve when Bert
kissed her goodnight she smiled to
herself as she heard him say:
"Well, it's quite true. People have
always eaten too much at Christmas
time in past years"
Bert's family all arrived in due sea-
son for Christmas dinner.
"Well, were you nervous over your
first turkey?" asked Aunt Emilina.
And how happy Marian was that she
could say that she hadn't been nerv-
Gus and that it was going to come out
all right, she thought.
II bet it was a job making your
first plum pudding" said Uncle
George, and Bert looked angry and
grieved. He didn't want anyone to
make his Marian feel uncomfortable.
And now his own family were doing it.
Uncle George" Bert said, 1--WE
meant to tell you. We're not going
to have one of those old-time din
ners. We think that people have al
ways felt wretchedly at Christmas, and
after Observation-Disclosures and all.
So we're just going to have a nice
simple dinner"
she could hear the defending note in
Bert's voice, and at the same time a
note Of sadness that their dinner was
going to be so simple.
She wanted to rush in now and tell
them all that it wouldn't be so simple,
and to put her arms around Bert's
neck and kiss him. He was standing
up for her. And they were all try
ing to be critical. And she had in
vited them all to her house. This
was the way they were accepting her
hospitality!
But, following a number more sim
liar remarks on how did she get along

"Well, l guess

ARMY REDUCTION BILL PASSES
Given Two-Thirds Majority in Both
Houses Of Congress

The house resolution directing that
enlistments be stopped until the army
is reduced to 175,000 men was placed
on the statute books when the senate
voted to override the presidents veto,
81 to /. The house voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of the resolution last
Saturday.
Complete cessation Of army recruit
ing has been ordered by Secretary
Baker, in accordance with the direc-
ton Of congress as embodied in the
joint resolution. The war secretary
acted to stop recruiting through or
ders sent to all stations within a few
hours after congress had passed the
measure. He did not wait for official
notification Of the action Of congress,
and no recruits will be accepted
henceforth except those who have
served one or more enlistment periods.
Army officers estimate that it will
require nine months, or until Nov. 1,
to reduce the army from it's present
strength Of more than $4,000 men to
the 175,000 figure. The army appro-
priation now up for passage, provides
maintenance for only 10000 men af-
ter next July, and should it be enact
ed in that form the reduction process
will have to be carried beyond Nov. 1.
Recruiting for the last few weeks has
averaged about 1000 men a day.

CATHRO sURRENDERs RECORDS
Townley Urges Followers to Accept
Compromise Plan

{ F. w. Cathro has finally been COM
PEELED to produce for examination ct
the hands Of the house audit com.
|mittee the state banks records Of its
dealings with the Scandinavian Amer
ican bank and other financial institu-
tions, reversing the position he took
recently when he refused to produce
the documents required by the COM
mittee. The policy by which the bank
head went on the stand was deter
mined in a conference Of leaguers and
state administration officials held
Monday evening. Cathro, while on
the witness stand, said that SO far
as anything that had come to his at
tention is concerned, the audit Of the
Bank Of North Dakota by Bishop,
Brissman & Co. was substantially cor
rect.
tRejection by the Nonpartisan league
Caucus Of Townley's plea that the ad-
ministration accept the proposal made
by a committee Of bankers several
weeks ago, based on the liquidation
Of the Bank Of North Dakota, and the
acknowledgment by Frazier and Lem
ke that there is higher power than
that welded by them, constitute the
latest developments in the great
muddle.
Mr.. Townley, personally, went be-
fore the league members with a plea
that they accept the compromise Of
fer made by the bankers, that they
take such steps as would permit the
restoration Of the state credit and
thus assist in carrying out the grain
elevator and flour mill portions Of the
league program.
The majority, headed by Frazier
and Lemke, opposed Townley and less
than dozen league members of the
legislature gave their support to the
Townley plan. Townley was subject
ed to hot fire by his former associ-
ates, who charged him with quitting
the state when the leagues troubles
were at their height. They charged
him with a desire to promote only
his own interests in other states in
which he is now engaged in organiza-
tion work. Soon after his proposition
had been rejected, Townley departed
from Bismarck. Frazier was one of
the most bitter enemies Of the COM
promise. He apparently is firmly con-
vinced that Wall street is trying to
force money onto the state at it's own
terms. -
Col. Little advised the committee
that the first thing to be done IL the
state is to regain a sound financial
footing is the liquidation Of the Bank
Of North Dakota as a commercial in
stitution and the limitation of the
bank to financing farm loans.
Brinton appeared before the inves-
tigating committee Tuesday and made
some startling disclosures concerning
the disposition of huge sums of state
money. These charges will be thor
oughly gone over and the blame
placed where it belongs.

RESOLUTION TO BE PRESENTED
Ellendale Pippin Poultry Club Adopts
Constitution

A meeting OF the executive commit
tee Of the Dickey County Farm Bu-
reau was held in Oakes at the city hall
on the afternoon and evening Of Feb.
5. The committeeman present were
Denning, Koch, Pfeifer, Hubbard, Mel
son, Strutz and Mueller, and also the
Extension agents. Absent members
were Pazandak and Haldeman.
The afternoon session was devoted
to hearing delegates in behalf of the
Normal and Industrial school. T. l..
Brouillard spoke in behalf of the Ell
lendale contingent and Miss Stevens
represented the county superintend-
ents. After the meeting the SUPER
intendents decided to send a delega-
tion to Bismarck and the following
persons were chosen: Mr.. Rutherford
Of Lisbon, Mrs. Osborne of LaMoure,
Mr.. Boshma Of Ashley, Mr.. Eilert Of
Napoleon, Miss Hanson Of Linton and
Mrs. Mertz of Wahpeton.
The executive committee then con-
vened in regular session and formulat-
ed plans to protect the interests of
our local institution in the future
should there be any need. For the
present, due to the shortness of time,
Arthur Strutz was appointed to rep
resent the Dickey County Farm Bu-
reau at hearing to be held before
the board Of administration.
Inasmuch as this board contemplates
discontinuing the Normal school and
turning it into boys training school,
it was deemed advisable to draw up
a resolution opposing this action, and
Mr.. Strutz will present it at the hear
ing in Bismarck.
The "Pippin Poultry Club" of Ell
lendale met Thursday evening at the
high school building for regular bus
mess meeting. A constitution was
adopted and arrangements made for
future meetings.
A review Of last years work was
made and selecting breeding stock
will be up for discussion at the next
meeting.
After adjournment of the business
meeting games were played and aero
batic stunts performed by the boys,
after which big feed was served and
everybody went home feeling that they
had spent profitable and enjoyable
evening.
