merce to make himself more effective
as a labor leader. .a5
I'm that class he got a new o n
ception of the relation of capital to
labor. His interest increased. and
he was graduated in a diploma course
OF the school.
To-day he is the president of a
company and an employer of labor.
"He is a progressive but not a
radical. Instead Of increasing the
suffering produced by the calling Of
strikes and the throwing Of; men out
|of employment, he is today a success
full business man, adding - to the
prosperity Of the community in which
he lives. He is doing much, to incul-
cate good will between capital ana
labor, and thus to make possible i
harmonious. effective and prosperous
community"

One Grand Forks home which is
presided over by a clever woman,
boasts a fireplace of rich brown tile,
which was made in this department.
The designs are worked out usually
by the various individuals and sort
color tones which lend themselves
beautifully to the clays are used.
Specimens of the work which have
been placed on exhibition at various
fairs and expositions in the state dur
ing recent years have attracted wide
attention and many lovely pieces are
to be found in homes here and else
where through the state.
Technical Value.
Emphasis has been placed on the
large amount OF technical and prac-
teal data on the undeveloped clays of
the state. which is being accumulated,
in Supplementary the Institutional
work which is given During her
talk to the convention visitors at
Columbus, Miss Gable said:
when we consider the quality and
proximity Of the great deposits OF
clay to the states inexhaustible sup
plies Of fuel there seems to be nc
reason why in the near future North
Dakota should not be ranked among
the important states in the ceramic
industry"

Farron from Pittsburgh.
AS Miss Gable told her hearers at
the convention, the ceramic work at
the University Of. North Dakota had
its Inception in the research work of
the school OF mines. on the high
grade clays Of the state. Preliminary
Investigations of the school of mines
proved SO conclusively the high quail

in the state that it seemed desirable
to provide facilities for their more
detailed technical and practical study,
and us a result the ceramics depart

OF instruction originally outlined have
been extended and there has been
such a great demand for the work
both from university students and
down town people that the depart.

CHARLES RAYS DOG ACTS WITH

'Nhiskcr~" Has Chance To Prove
His Worth i'm the Cclluloid Yer
sion OF Peaceful Valley"

Charles Ray is the very proud
owner Ola foXy-loohing, wire-halrcd
fox terrier named "Whiskers."
BY a singular coincidence the script
for Charles Rays new screen vehicle,
Peaceful Valley adapted from Sol
Smith Russel's famous stage success.
which will be shown at the Cozy
Theatre next Saturday. calls for a
canine with a similar cognomen
Thus. II is not so strange thh;
Charlie gave his own dog part in
the photoplay.
One OF the most amusing situa-
tions in the photoplay arises when
Whiskers. dangling a heavy rope
around his neck. comes tratting up
the aisle OF country church to his
master. Hosiah Howe. who is seated
besides Virginia Rand, bueautiTul
girl from the city.
Hosiah who had been greatly inn
pressed and embarrassed by the
presence of the pretty girl at his
side, is aghast at the unexpected ap-
pearance of the dog The congrega-
tion slares at Hosiah. but Virginia
helps him make the dog comfortable
between them.
Charles Ray plays the part of Hos
iah. while Ann May has the leading
role Ray selected his own
dog for the part of Whiskers because
he knew from experience that n
would have no difficulty in getting
his pet to follow him to church or any
who're else for that matter. As mat
Ter OF fact Charles main difficulty at
times lies in his inability to keep
away from him.

MILLIONS OF FROGS RAINED

disagree on the origin ana destiny ~
the frogs. Women are divided about
50-50 on the theory that they fell
from the clouds while two out OF five
men maintain they were young toads
Matched simultaneously from eggs de
posted in the ground
The SKY theorists claim the embry-
onic pollywogs were attracted from
their earthly abode by the sun TO
fall TO earth in the form OF young
frogs. That there are no lakes or
other bodies OF water near Panhandle
daunts them not, for they say the
eggs may have been originally de
posted in Lake Champlain or the
caribbean sea. Once drawn into tho
air they were carried by the breeze
to the vicinity OF Panhandle and fell
with the rain. Others say the warn
rains had nothing to do with the frogs
visitation further than to bring about
the Matching OF millions OF eggs az
the same time and that the procession
through the town was nothing
more than a qualification OF the MI
gratory nature OF the hoppers soon
