POLITICS N D
GROWTH OF STATE,
SAYS JUDGE COLE

Fargo, N. D., Sept. s.-The de-
cred to some extent by "our noisy and
nasty politics." according to Judge "A.
T. Cole Of the Cass county. district
court, who has returned from "a va
cation trip into Minnesota and Wis
cousin.
Cole believes that the q will see
a great influx Of new settlers and that
the newcomers will be real farmers
n business men, not the speculative
or bombastic sort. !,
Many young men are looking upon
North Dakota with great fayors,ss said
Judge Cole. 1.-THE fact is being reeoge
nized now as never before, that with
the proper sort Of energy and enter
prise ~thersSare opportunities incur
state possessed by no other, to get ION
in the world. ~
I'VE have no inflated land values,
generally speaking, in fact, consider
ing the character of tho lands, they
are c~onspicuously cheap lands as yet,
and are therefore considered the safe
investments for men and women who
do not undertake to handle too much,
and who will do real farming, apply
intensive cultivation to the soil, and
not undertake to buy and farm a
whole section. while as a matter OF
fact their purses warrant the invest
ment In but a quarter Of q section.
The fact is also realized that bust
ness opportunities go with }the in
crease and solidarity of farming oper-
ations,Kin the same ratio All preju-
dice against the state as a state han
Lbeen dismissed by the people of the
states of Minnesota and Wisconsin
We are hampered. however, to some
extent, by our noisy and nasty poll
ties. When this condition clears UP
the state will have a greater influx OF
new settlers than 1t has had In any
similar period OF time, and the new
Corners will be real farmers and real
business men, not the speculative OF

letter asking for the names of the newspapers
and the names of their editors. Two days be-
fore Babe is to ill them with Higher I'M
pulse the papers publish picture of Babe and
delightful interview with her on how to get
into the movies. AS matter of fact, Babe in
her professional days had wicked kick and
charmed the chief stockholder, but in the in
tcrvicw she canvassed cghtycght studios,
walked sXty-one miles on an empty stomach,
tainted twice and had to cat her gloves on the
morning of her first tryout. 1t wrings the
hearts of the poor mothers who have to work
only fourteen hours day with $500 week
housekeeping allowance as they read of Babes
terrible struggles. They will never permit a
daughter of theirs to go through such torture
On the morning of the uplift the press agent
appears before the rapidly rising young star.
"Miss Twoknees," he says, "you are to ap-
pear before some kind of a mothers club at
Quohoguc this afternoon. Y GU are to address
them on The Sub-Conscious and What to DO
About It, Here are your autographed photos.
This large framed one is your remembrance to
them. They to hang it in their study halls.
Oh yes, here is the speech. A photographer
will make a flashlight for the trade press To
night you make personal appearance in the
Bronx, where you will speak on the blue laws.
Good luck, Miss Twoknees-you are getting
more popular every day.
Wrapping her sables about her, Babe takes
the manuscript into her glistening fingers and
the car purrs gently down the street.
Thus it is for the people of the movies They
all have their press agents-a except one
man, and he is the man who invented them.
Almost any day he may be seen walking
down Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington,
and yet nobody knows him. All the at
tention people pay to him is to push him out
of the way. He has not addressed mothers

Richmond Ind, his home. When he got there
he was hero.
TO jewery store run by his cousin he took
the mysterious box and asked if the curtains
might be drawn down for brief bit Business
was never so brisk in Richmond that the sacri-
fee would be absolutely disastrous. The only
electricity trolley wire passing the door,
and, using a pail of watcr as rheostat, c.
Francis made his connections. Invited in were
his father and mother, the editor of the local
paper and a few others.
Not word had the young man said of what
they were to see. To them it was just another
of Francis's time killers. The room was dark
cncd; there was sputtering, grinding and
a groaning of moving machinery, and out on
the wall before the astonishcd eyes Of the good
citizens stepped young and more less
beautiful girl. They gasped-thcre was some
trick to it, because there wasn't any trapdoor
in the wall. People getting slick with
them shadowgraphs anyway. Just the other
night there had been a fellow down to the
Opry House who could wrap a handkerchief
around his hands and make pictures of almost
any animal especially rabbit. And he could
make them move. Especially the ears.
They looked at c. Francis, but his handkcr-
chief was in his pocket. Nor did he have his
sleeves rolled up
And then they no longer turned to watch c.
Francis, for the girl was trying to initiate
butterfly. In her hand she held sticks and to
these were fastened the draperes of her gown
Higher and higher she began to lift her skirts
while around she tapped her sticks in imita
tion of a butterfly that suddenly feels itself
called on to dance. Higher and higher the
skirts went as the contortions of the lepidop-
teral creature grew more pcrfervid.
The men lost all interest in c. Francis while
the good women turned to look at each other.
What had c. Francis been doing all this time
inthe wicked city of Washington? That came
from letting boys get away from home But
New-York tribune., 1921-04-17

the men did not care. c. Francis could 90 to
where Tamage sad-they wanted to sec the
rest of that dance
The skirts went higher
And then two or three of the good women,
nudging each other significantly, got up and
marched out-thus leaving the first motion
picture show in the history of the world. The
date was June g. 1894
Pictures had been projected on a wall be-
fore from lantern slides, but never from A
strip OF ntcrmittently moving film. The ma
chine which projected the picture is on exhi-
biton at the National Museum in Washing
ton. and picture of it is herewith reproduced.
The machine is the forerunner of all present
day projectors.
Nobody paid much attention to the show

But it was sure wonderful ridin all TIA. 20

The first time admission was charged ,as
at Atlanta, Ga in 1895. The show was a
failure. People could not believe that you
could show pictures Of people moving about
and would not surrender their money on
any moro Of them catchpcnnes The term
motion picture had not been invented. There
was nothing to describe what was to be seem
The project was abandoned and the young in
ventor home pretty down in the mouth
Later he sold his interest in the invention for
$1,000. That is all he got for the second most
wonderful invention in the world The first
printing. The total sum he got wouldn't
pay Babe Twoknees' salary for month. And,
again, thus life runs away.

ments. He was working with magic lantern,
which was then considered about the furthcst
north of human ingenuity. Young Jenkins
seized with the cxtravagant idea of max
ing pictures move by means of thc lantern,
and to work he set. In he called {; vaudeville
dancer named Annabce, whose particular bit
OF entertainment was a so-callcd butterfly
dance. OF her Jenkins made pictures. Many
men in the United States and Europe had been
working on the idea of "animal locomotion,
it was then called, but as glass plates had
to be used the result not any bewildcring
success. The heavy, cumbersome plates could
not be progressed in front of light source
fast enough to make any animal look but
what it was in its last mortal struggle. Then
the celluoid film was announced. 1t was light
and flexible. The inventors were off. 1t was
a race.

while, as it always does, and c. Francis asked
for an extra week. On ahead he sent a mys-
terous box by express, and then, mounting his
bicycle, rode the whole dstance-720 miles--to

Queries and Answers
AUCTION BRIDGE

QUESTION: Dummy has the king and
Z small club, the fourth hand holding ace,
queen and others, when her partner leads the
jack Of clubs. yThe decarcr at once remarks
that this is lead out of turn as it is the turn
of the player with ace, queen of clubs to lead.
Can the declarer demand club lead from the
player that he knows holds ace, queen, or what
can he do?-F. H. Fl.
Answer The declarer has the option of call
ing a lead or of asking that the jack of clubs
be left an exposed card. In this case, in
order to save the king of clubs in dummy, it
would be advisable TO call the lead
Question: We have had some dispute as to
the proper original cali, no score on these
cards, held by the dealer: Six diamonds to the
acc, queen, ten, nine; five spades to the ace,
New-York tribune., 1921-04-17

If he can, he can go trump; if not, he must
call his longest suit.
The order of bidding in such cases is: First
a suit call; then double; then no-trumper
or some other suit.
When the first bid is a no-trumper and the
fourth hand bids two in a suit asking lead,
the double means exactly the same if the
original no-trump bid had never been made. 1t
says to the partner: 81 still have the no
trumper, but that suit just called is my weak
spot. What can you do about it?''
In this case the double is still conventional,
because it comes under the rule that all
doubles are conventional if the doubler's
partner has not made a declaration of any
kind Here is a good example Of it:

should put B in with heart, but discards
the heart on the first trick, so Y leads the
ace of clubs. This puts A in trouble. If he

club. The ten of diamonds is overtaken with
the king and leads a club giving B the lead.
Now z makes two diamond tricks
New-York tribune., 1921-04-17

entry outside the hearts or he would not ask
the lead. 1t this is the ace Of clubs, it might
be game hand. If any other ace, three-odd
looks reasonable, as both AS diamonds should
be good if the ace is with z, who bid the no
trumper
went to three spades, but did not reach
game Dummy had to trump the second heart,
and put himself in with club to get
hnesse IN diamonds or trumps. He picked the
trumps and the finesse of the nine held, but Y
could not get in again to try another fnesse.
This is always the weakness of hand that is
forced to undertake contract against it's will.
1t cannot win tricks enough to get leads
enough to make the best use of position play
Dummy made two of his top clubs and then
led acc and jack of diamonds led the
diamond third time, Y trumping and
over-trumpng. B led the ace of trumps and
followed with a heart, forcing the king of
trumps from z. The club gave heart
discard and Y's last trump registered but the
game was saved.
Had left alone with his two hearts he
would have scored two by-cards easily enough
and five honors, making Sc points, so that it
was wortl, while to score as in spades. Three
hearts would have been set, as three clubs
make at once, then spade wins or is made
good, and the diamond still to hear from.
In addition to this, the o-trumper never had
diamond.

Answer: 1t is not the business of the oppos-
