play by William Hurlbut. In this
picture, it is understood, Miss Lake
will be seen first as an American
girl art student in the French capt.

she was after an unusual incident
which changes her entire personali-
ty.
H. B. Warner comes to the Dirigo
next Friday in his first Jesse D.
Hampton production for the Pathe
program. Zone Hour Before Dawn"
is the title of the feature, which is
an adaptation of Mansfield SCOTS
novel, Behind Red Curtains" di-
rected by Henry King. Zone Hour
Before Dawn" is a story of mystery
that will challenge the keenest
minds. The mystic power of hyp-
notism adds to the intricacy of the
plot. The story also has its share
of romance, with Anna @. Nilsson
giving splendid support.
Pauline Frederick will appear next
Tuesday evening in Bonds of Love-"
In the role of the First Mrs. Daniel
Cabot, Miss Frederick gives a por-
trayal that is remarkable for it's sin
cerity and finish. In her dramatic
moments, Miss Frederick is admir-
able; in the lighter scenes she is ir-
resistible. Miss Frederick's perform
ance in this picture will undoubtedly
go down as one of the finest she has
contributed to the screen. and will
be hailed with delight by her legion

Pupils Must Obey Dance Rule

herman ReVleW:-lt was a cOntin
uatiOn OF the age old controversy as
to what authority school officers have
over pupils outside Of school hours.
So far as the Review is able to learn,
this question has never been settled
by law nor are there any supreme
court decisions which appear to apply
definitely for the guidance of Mime
sofa school boards.
It is the rule of Herman schools
that pupils shall not attend public
dances on night before a school day.
This law has been vigorously en-
forced during the past two years to
number of suspensions. In all such
cases the pupil has been allowed to
return to his studies after proper
apology and agreement to abide by
rule in future.
The pupil in question is a young
lady of Is years. She is to some extent
professional musician and played at
dances on the evenings of school days.
While sympathising with her desire
to earn money, the board felt that it
was unfair to the other pupils to
allow her to attend dances to which
they were forbidden. The case furn-
| ished much conversation, some of it
unnecessary and in poor taste, for
several weeks until it was finally
brought before the District, Court in
a mandamus proceeding calculated to
force the board to accept the young
musician as a pupil of the public
schools regardless of whether or not
she attended dances.
! The case came before Judge Flah,
erty at Norris last Saturday, the
plaintiff being represented by Harry
Phinney and the Herman School
Board by J. B. Ormond. The Judge
dismissed the action peremptorily
The Review understands that the case
will not be appealed, so the young
lady will be obliged to stay out OF
school unless she agrees to abide by
the ruling of the school board con-
corning dances.
The finding of the Judge was ex.
plicit. He states that the rule or
dances is just and reasonable, neces.
sary to maintain discipline in the
school and pormote the best interests
and welfare Of the pupils. Also that
the board acted we'll within it's right
in suspending the pupil.

THE MAIL BAG

Mr.. Editor:
read in your last issue an editor
ial copied from the Dassel Dispatch
in which the editor says, "At meet
ing of the reform press editors of
the state the whole crowd rose to it's
feet in silent tribute to Joseph Gill
bert who is serving year in Jail for
disloyal utterances" and then he
proceeds to ridicule the action. 1t
appears to me that the Dassel editor
has not very clear or unbiased
perspective.
l would refer him to few in
stances of history. There was man
found guilty of disloyalty by the
highest court of the land. He was
nailed to tree and yet untold
millions rise to their feet, yes, and
bend their knees at the mention of
his name. Another man in more
modern times was found guilty of
disloyalty and treason and today
millions rise at the mention of his
name and call him the father of our
country. The emblem of our country
was at one time adjudged rag OF
treason.
Your humble correspondent having
studied the case of Joseph Gilbert as
the papers, both anti and pro non
partisan, gave it, has come to the
conclusion that if Joseph Gilbert de-
served punishment for disloyalty
there are thousands of self styled
100 per cent Americans who should
be deported to Siberia or Petrograd
because they fouled our glorious flag
by wrapping it around themselves tt
hide their graft, proiteering and
frenzied war crazy actions. Yes, and
among them is an odd judge, here
and there.

Pronunciation Of asVIkInq."

''Viking" is a Morse word, the Eng
Hsh form Of which is "wicking." It
ought not to be pronounced as "vi-
king" any more than the French words
kaif and gairedge. The morse adjective
"veik" means "weak" in English. The
vikings were anything but weak. In
fact, weakness barred one from ever
being accepted as a member of the
daredevil bands of vikings. The very
idea of weakness is therefore mad

word viking.

TUESDAYS OPENING
South st. Paul, Mimi, April 5,
1921: Cattle 1900. Killing classes
weak to Csc lower. Stockers and
feeders draggy, uneven, tendency
lower Calves 1000. Mostly soc
lower. Packer top $3.50. Hogs
1900. Mostly steady. Undertone
weak, range $7.5O-$9.S5, bulk 1925
$3.50. Pigs mostly Csc higher. Top
and bulk $11.25. Sheep 500. Mar
ket mostly steady, top wooded lambs
1895 late Monday, choice ewes
$5.75-$6.OO.
The dominating factor in the cattle
market at the present time is demand,
which at present, is abnormally light.
Demand from the country for stock
ers and feeders has slackened mat
erially, and lessened competition
form this source has enabled packer
buyers and city butchers to cheaper
costs of live cattle. Dressed beef mar
kets are very slumpy and fail to show
any continued improvement, due to
industrial conditions, many of the
laboring classes being without en-
ployment, materially lessening con-
sumptive demand.
The weeks trade opened with re-
ceipts considerably lighter than a
week ago at all principal markets,
but Tuesday saw an increase in mar
ketings, and lower markets at all
points. Mondays trade at the local
market was steady, but the market
weakened Tuesday, and killing cattle
were mostly weak to Csc lower. AL
though a good grade of both heavy
and light weight beef steers sold dur
ing the past week up to 1925, like
kind is not quotable over $500 to-
bring that money. Bulk Of the COM
mon and medium grade beef steers
are selling today from $6.75 to $500.
Due to scarcity of offerings strictly
light and heavyweight she stock is
Selling at fairly steady prices, rang
ing largely from $500 to $500, but
the heavier COWS and heifers selling
below this price are weak to 25c
lower. Gamers and cutters are also
working lower, packers buying few
of these from $500 to 1915, with
old shells as low as $3.50. Prices OF
veal calves descended to new low
levels today, packer top for best
lights being $3.50. The supply OF
stockers and feeders exceeds demand
at present. Bulk of heavy feeders OF
desirable kinds are selling from
$500 to $7.75, with the bulk OF
stocker steers of the same kind
weighing under $50 lbs. selling from
$500 to $500.
The hog market was on the weak
side all of last week, prices declin-
ing about 75c during the period
Undertone of the market on opening
days this week continues weak, the
market failing to show any advance
although receipts at seven large mar
kets for the two day period this week
show decrease in the total Of near
/ ly $4,000 compared with the same
period last week. Trade yesterday
and today was on basis practically
steady with last Friday, top being
1888, range from $3.50 to 1885, and
the bulk from 1925 to $3.50. The
market for lambs continues fairly
stable, prime handyweight wooded
lambs. selling late Monday up to
4 $9.35.@Sheep and yearlings are most
I1y steady, with choice handyweight

Find Gold In Trees.

There is gold in trees. Tests have
been made by taking the wood Of
certain trees, burning to ashes and
assaying the ashes. 1t has been
found that the ashes Of almost all
trees showed traces Of gold. The
harder the wood, the more gold there
was. Ashes of the black iron wood
contained from four to ten shillings'
worth Of gold per ton. The metal
tends to collect in the trunk near the
roots, and the quantity naturally de-
ponds upon the auriferous nature Of
the soil in which the trees grow
