ADD MUSICAL NOTES

The only mar to the pleasure of re- porting a musical event for the hign- browed Republican recently was the conduct of one of the iilustrious artists He had a little habit of remaining seated while his confreres rose ana bowed their acknowledgment of the generous applause that greeted thelr offerings This omission of his seemed to have ominous significance because the same gent, now and then, re auently engaged in smiling comments to his fellow artists between numbers
 Somehow we got the impression that he considered the evenings program something in the nature Of caviar to the natives of the desert. We deter mined to have 1t out with him aftef the program was over. some or lhe local musicians colony monopolizeo his attention back of the scenes, but out on the sidewalk we bounced on him cordially. The conversation went something, in part, as follows
 Yeah Your music tonight was treat. It is seldom that we have the opportunity down here Of enjoying such a program"
 Well, that iss nice to near you speak like that l am sure"
 Don't mention it. But there is one thing that bothered me. old man, and I want to ask you about it before l sit down to write my story"

 "Well-it was particularly noticeable that you remained seated while the others rose and bowed to the audi ence-''
 "Oh! Ah-h-hl" with evidences of considerable agitation and confu- sion, he made as if to lay restrain ing hand on our arnl.)
 "Of course, it may have had no sig nificance at all old man., we con tinued, reassuringly, but l couldnt l1eln wondering if it was due to some
 He broke in most effusively, "Oh, no. no, no, no. You do not under stand! You do not understand, l am sure, It iss-"
 Understand me. that am not criti- cising you in the least. l merely want you to know that I couldn't help but notice it and I am at a loss to account for your-''
 "Oh, it iss eesyi" And bursting in to a nervous little laugh, he drew us off few paces, looking up and down the sidewalk with an air of precau- ton. Then in a low, confidential tone, in spite of the fact that we were at a vacant lot and it was late at night, he said, "You see, it iss funny. You -(tapping his bosom)-you sec the buttons here-they are gone! Con- sequently it was necessaire-I was afraid
 "Oh, I seei You didn't dare bow up on the stage there for fear with the buttons gone out of the front of your shirt-
 Exactly, sir. Exactly No, no, no, no, You did not understand. You did not understanr!'

THAT TREASURED SONG

Have you the words or the music of a beautiful little song of your own composition hidden away, waiting TOT some altruistic and indulgent com poser to supply the required words or music as the case may be?
 If you have--and if you are like most human beings. you undoubtedly have look out for the musical publisher, the tenor of whose advertisement in daily newspapers and magazines runs some thing like this:
 Thousands made in writing
 songs. Send us your lyrics and
 we will write the music, or send
 us your music and we will write
 the words for it, make you piano
 copy, secure copyright and help you
 market it."
 Clay Smith, writing in The Billboard of these fake musical publishers. very pertinently asks, Now, if these birds can write such good poems to your music and can write such good music to your poems why declare any out slider in on it at all? But they do, and they get them"
 The game. as outlined by Neighbor Smith is simple and effective. The fake publishers know they are play ing a pretty safe game because when the poor fish finds out he is hooked for a couple of hundred dollars he will never spill the beans for fear of being laughed at by his friends on two counts, viz: Q)That he ever thought he could compose words or music worth publishing: (2)that he should be such an easy mark under any cir cunstances.
 That being the case, there is not much fear of detection.
 The plan brief youtlined by Mir. Smith is for the fake publisher to get the prospect to send in his words or music. Then he gets a letter telling him his efforts are meritorious and worth publishing if the composer cares to send them the initial cost Con an average of $1000). With little money invested, the fish is easy until he wakes up and then he raises his right hand and keeps his mouth shut about it.
 Reputable music publishers, says MT. Smith, never ask the composer to invest his money. If the work offered is worth even q chance they will offer to pay something for it. Otherwise they will refuse to have anything to do with it.
 Remember this when you read the ad and begin to wonder if you can't get your composition published.

Helen gave us wicl-ed eye when we tried to spell the mezzo in her voice with a ''t' and so we can [ remember the name of the composer she is going to feature.

Botela Iuke reporter for the Phoenix Daily F'idgit, at the close of a stirring meeting of The Phoenix Forward Club, was hurrying back to the office in a spirit of good will toward men,
 The clubs committee on arrange ments have been very considerate Of the members of the press whom the club had requested to attend their inn portant meeting. The committee had provided press table and chairs right up on the platform where the reporters could catch every word of the speakers and the queries from members in the audience.
 Botela was very thankful and did not have to overcome the personal prejudices usually aroused in his heart by the clubs treatment accorded him as member of the press. He was not forced to take his notes while support ing his pad of paper on the back of the man in front of him. Better than all else the seat of his anatomy was not moulded like unto section of corru- gated tin roofing from being forced to sit on the top of a radiator while talk ing his notes.

SENATE BILL Is

co BEFORE HOUSE
lBx Staff Corrcsnondent.>

Bismarck. N. D. Feb. 15.-Senate
Bill IS, as amended by the house Of
representatives, is scheduled to come
up for final passage in the house to-
day.
In it's amended form the measure
would wipe out the present state
licensing department and would place
the enforcement Of the laws regarding
sale Of cigarettes. pool halls, dance
halls. moving picture theaters, ETC.. in
the hands CT the local authorities
throughout The state.
Although the measure will probably
pass the lower house. there is thought
to be no possibility hat it will b. ac-
cepted by the senate as amended. as
its passage would destroy the political
machine now in the hands of Mr..
Lemke and administered through
Harry Dunbar, state inspector.
In connection with the moving pic
ture theater provision in the law it
might be mentioned that a number of
moving picture men of the state are
here to protest against the passage of
another measure now before the leg
islature which would provide for
censorship Of all moving picture films
and advertising shown in the state.

EAT LESS MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to
Flush Kidneys if Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, a V a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish: clog up and cause ali
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region:
rheumatic 'twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment you back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right. or if blad-
der bothers you, get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few DAVIS
and our kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged Kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to n~eutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone:

and women take now and then to keep

INDEPENDENTS AND
LEAGUERS WRANGLE
OVER FINANCE PLAN
CONTINUED from page ~

On the other hand the general oupin-
Ion In the Independent camp seems
to be that the leaguers are losing
practically nothing, and gaining ev-
erything under the terms as outlined.
May Mean Recall Election.
They INSIST that William Lemke at
least must be forced out Of Office, and
unless the leaguers are willing to
agree to this point, favor a continual
tion Of the fight eliminating in a re-
call election. 1T is possible, however,
that they could consent to d recall
along more restricted lines than has
hitherto been planned.
This was evidently the dominant
view placed at the conference of the
Independents held last night at which
the matter was threshed over, and the
sentiment seemed to be even stronger
this morning.
AS the carrying out Of the tenta-
tive conference agreement is absolute
ly dependent upon legislative enact
ment, 1t is plain that there is no
chance of the plan going through il

attitude.

tablished that there will be no let up

pendents as far as the possible call

believed.
So far as the leaguers are con-
cerned no final decision in the matter

sibly MI. Paddock, reach the city.
Townley is expected to arrive late to-

sumably in connection with the mill
