AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The modern photoplay has proved
to be a splendid training school Tor
young actors. In the days before the
discovery of the cinema, only very
few of the many talented children
who applied for theatrical work
could be used. Now, however, the
motion picture has, developed many
children whose ability will make
them stars just as soon as they begin
to take on the appearance of matur-
ity. Among the more recent finds
in child actors is little Samuel Ross,
who appears with Louis Bennison, in
"a Misft Earl" the new Goldwyn
picture scheduled at the Opera House
Thursday-tomorrow.
Little. Samuel Ross shows an intel
ligent appreciation of every comic OF
dramatic situation in which he is
placed, and what is more, possesses
the histrionic ability to convey his un-
derstanding to these on the other
side of the screen. He is neither self

Watson, was the next stop, and,
strange to say, very little political

we struck the homeward trail, reach

through a heavy rain just this side
of Macon. Strange to say, not drop
of rain fell in the four days until
Tuesday, the trip proving one of the
most delightful in my experience. We

regret was experienced in leaving

CANNOT ALWAYS WIN.

During the past month the friends
of the Todd County Farm Bureau asso-
citation have been fighting for the ex-
istence of that organization. The
county commissioners at their June
session were presented with a petition
signed by 600 members protesting
against the board making any appro-
priation for the farm bureau for the
coming year. At their July meeting
the commissioners appropriated ST.
500, just half the amount sought by
the officials of the bureau. The Long
Prairie, Leader, which has always
given the association strong support,
states the members of the farm bu-
reau should be thankful for that which
they did receive.
Last April the farm bureau officials
in Mile Laos county were bitterly
disappointed when our commissioners
voted the association an appropriation
Of only $1,000 when it asked for $4,000.
It is generally conceded that $1,000
was a fair appropriation for this coun
try under the present conditions, and
it is $500 more than any appropriation
granted the bureau in previous years.
Even the most ardent supporters Of
the farm bureau should not be too
much distressed because the associa-
ton. does not always have all it's re-

1t is reported that number of

harmless song birds: If these reports
are true, it is to be hoped that the

If the parents are negligent in this
matter, the services of the village
marshal should be enlisted. The law
strictly forbids the wanton manning

or insect-devouring birds of any kind
and declares that any one guilty of
violating this statute shall be punished
by fine of from one to fifteen dollars.

TOO FAST, TOO FAST.

Much is being said on the streets,
in the clubs and in the press concern
ing motorists and the regulations per-
tanning to fast driving. Are the mo-
torists being unnecessarily annoyed
by the enforcement of too stringent
laws? The automobiles are taking a
fearful death toll in this country every
week and the accidents that occur
are nearly always the result of too
fast driving.
Although the patrolmen on our
Scenic highway have been permitting
motorists to drive at rate of IS
miles per hour, there have been rumors
that the motorists were being perse-
cuted in this county. Thirty-fve miles
an hour is fast enough for any driver
and it is altogether too fast for others.
Accidents, such as that which hap
pened on the Scenic highway last Mon
day, furnish the most convincing evil
dence on this point. The driver states
that she was travelling at the rate of
80 to IS miles per hour when the acct
dent occurred that resulted in the
death of the small boy. It is said the
woman became excited and lost con-
troll of her car. She is not the only
driver who will fail to put on the
brakes at the critical time. Men and
women are allowed to go racing along
our highways if they have the price of
car. They are not required to pass
any kind of an examination to prove
they are capable of handling their ma
chimes. Under such conditions the
safety of the general public demands
that all drivers be compelled to stay
within certain limits that will not af-
ford too great an opportunity for
slaughter by irresponsible and in
competent ones.
Our highways must be made safe
for all the people, men, women and
children. In few weeks there will
be hundreds of children travelling the
roads. to and from schools. Motorists
cannot be allowed to drive at rate
that will imperil the lives of these
children. Better far that no tourist
traverses our highways in this county
during the whole season than that one
of these children be killed. All the
money that these tourists might spend
in this county or all the advertising
that they might give US is no compen-
sation for the life of a child. The dis
gruntled motorist, who makes vigor-
Gus, public protest because he is
forced to comply with reasonable
sped regulations in this county is
rendering our people a great service.
We will be everlastingly thankful if
he and all others of his type stay away
from US.

EFFICIENT SERVICE.

The patrons of Milaca postoffice are
to be congratulated on the reappoint-
ment of Charles Allen. He has made
an ideal postmaster, courteous to ev-
cry one, efficient in performing his
duties, and man who attends strictly
to his own affairs. More than 400
patrons of the Milaca postoffice signed
petition asking that he be rcappoint-
ed when it seemed that political in
f1uence might lead to the selection of
another candidate.
Newspaper publishers, who by the
nature of their business, are in the
best possible position to know the ef-
ficiency Of the postmasters in their
territory, are always particularly in
terested in the appointment of these
officials. Charles Aliens reappoint-
ment gives the Union great satisfac-
ton as it must all the newspapers in
the county.
Right here we wish to pay our re-
spects to all the postmasters in
our territory. In every instance
these officials seem to go far be-

United States is said to have better

vice that characterizes the work of the
officials and employees in even the
smaller offices in the rural communi-
ties.

IF INTERESTED, PROTEST.

Last spring the board of education
in this school district passed a resolu-
ton to the effect that hereafter no
married women should be employed as
teachers in the public schools. It
seems that this ruling was not sup
posed to apply to widows although no
provision for them appeared in the
official proceedings. At the time that
resolution was passed, two of the most
capable teachers employed in the
Princeton school were married women.
There was considerable discussion at
the time concerning unemployment
and the members of the board were
undoubtedly acting in good faith, &C.
cording to their best judgment, when
they made that ruling. They thought
that under the existing conditions
there should be but one wage Garner
in each family.
There is large number Of people
in this school district who believe that
action of the board was fundamentally
wrong. We want competent teachers
in our schools regardless of their fam
lily standing. We owe it to our chill
dren to secure the most able instruc-
tors available, and we believe the SUI
perintendent Of schools should be given
the privilege of selecting his own
teachers.
In the second place we do not believe
it is right to deny to any man or
woman the most priceless heritage
granted to any individual in this coun-
try, the right to work at the profession
or labor Of his choice, providing he is
competent.
In the recent school election this
ruling of the board was not made an
issue, but the residents of the district
can appear before the board at any
time and express their views on the
matter. The members Of the board
would certainly not wish to enforce a
ruling that was contrary to the will
of the majority Of residents in this
district.

Pointed Paragraphs

Faces fade, and Of the people we

Children grow up and go away. The

or disappear. The historic value of
things fixed in the form of a photo
graph, is beyond price. Just think
that over.

there is whale of noise; hence the

The Union hesitates to comment on
the following matter but, if the facts
as related are true, it would be almost
crime to remain silent. County At
torncy Doane was told by the occu-
pants Of the car that fatally injured
little Bertel Hallberg last Monday
that they made five or six futile at
tempts to induce the motorists who
passed them on the Scenic highway
after the accident to take the injured
boy to hospital in Milaca. The mo-
torists who heartlessly passed that
grief-stricken group and saw the man
holding mangled child in his arms
but refused to offer any assistance
were travelling in big touring cars.
Mr.. Bamber stated that some of these
motorists seemed loath to render any
assistance for fear they might in some
way become involved in the incident
and be summoned as witnesses in the
case. That would indicate they were
not local people. It is almost incon-
ceivable to think of any man or woman
refusing to render assistance in such
case. The child was finally taken to
the Milaca hospital in truck belong
ing to the Dahlgren Bros, of Onamia.
If there is now no law for furnishing
people who are so brutality inhuman
as to refuse aid to dying child mere
ly because by so doing they might be
caused little personal Inconvenience,
they should at least be punished by
having their names and deed blazoned
before the whole world.

many of us think the farm bureau is,
we all know that it has no special
lease on appropriations and like every

remember however that it is a mighty

any reverses and it is only the weak
