Ypsilanti Claims
Smallest Theater

Ypsilanti, Mich.-Ypsilanti claims
the smallest theater in the country,
one of the oldest Of it's kind any
where and one that is regarded as a
unique example of the Little Theater
Movement"
The theatrical club was started
seven years ago with fifteen members
for a study of the drama. The Or
ganization has developed to a point
where it occupies national prominence
among supporters Of the Little The
alter Movement"
The chief object, Of the club at its
inception was to provide entertain
ment for its members. After the first
year the society purchased a small
barn here and remodeled it into u,
playhouse. The same building il f1n
use at present. The auditorium has
q seating capacity Of 60 persons and
Is but IL by IS feet in dimensions,
with a small balcony constructed from
part Of what formerly was a haymow.
The stage has a depth of rs feet aud
q p%roscenium arch nine by IS feet.
The interior of the theater has been
painted and decorated with old Eng
lish lanterns, giving it a n Elizabethan
appearance. The stage, however, is
equipped WIN a LSntlnS SyS-
tenn costing $4,000 and described by
theatrical experts as unsurpassed
within it's limits by any stage in
larger theaters.
Only one-act plays are offered, U.S.
ually two or three of them on each
night When performances are held.
Following the performances players
and audience join in a supper pre-
pared in the basement of the build
ing.
The club has become self-support-
ing and it is working to-
ward bringing about a municipal
playhouse. Every member of the o
ciety Is subject to call for any per-
Torrance, from scene shifting to play
ing a role in some play. Some OF the
members have shown unusual ability
In scene painting inc costume max

Each play is studied in detail be-
fore being presented, costumes, an

A GOING

Howard Huston, a North Dakota boy and a
graduate of the University of North Dakota, an
American soldier in the world war, wounded in that
war, was reported dead, and was mourned as dead
for months. AS IN some other cases the report of
his death was greatly exaggerated. He was, and
is, very much alive. Because of the evidence that
he had given of unusual capacity for organization
and administrative work he was chosen for an i'm
portant position in the secretariat of the League Of
Nations, and the position which he holds today is
in effect that of business manager Of that great in
ternational body.
An error omewhat similar to that which arose
in connection with Mr.. Illusions alleged demise
arose in connection with the League Of Nations it.
self, Many months ago, and several times in the
interim, that organization has been reported de-
funct. And many persons who knew that life still
remained. in it have supposed that it has passed into
a premature old age and was merely waiting for the
undertaken.
In the several addresses which Mr.. Huston
has made during his brief visit to Grand Forks he
has shown these notions to be decidedly erroneous.
The League OF Nations is not dead. It is not even
seriously indisposed. The twinges which it feels
occasionally may be likened to growing pains, for
the League is a growing entity and a going concern.
Since it began to function the League has pre-
vented three wars. In two Of those cases, involving
disputes between Sweden and Finland and Albania
and Jugo-Slavia, notSonly were wars prevented, but
Elements were accepted BY the nations affected. In
TIE third case, involving 4 dispute between Poland
and Lithuania over the possession Of Wilma. the
question in dispute has not VET been completely

tious and there is every reason 20 expect that the

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION.

Visiting Kiwanians, both local. district and in
ternational. have said very many pleasant things
about the the district convention in Grand Forks,
both as to the arrangements for the convention it.
self, and as to the general entertainment provided
for the guests. These expressionseo eof satisfaction
have naturally been gratifying to the .local people
who have worked hard to make the convention a
success, and without any departure from fitting
and becoming modesty, 1t is proper that mention
should be-made of these kindly commentators, in
order that our own people should feel that their
efforts have not been in vain and that the reputa
ton cf Grand Forks good city to visit has been
handsomely sustained
Leaving it at this point for our friends to make
such further reference to the convention they be-
ieve the circumstances warrant it is proper point
out that from another standpoint and Of special
interest to Our own people, the convention was
most CONSPICUOUS success.
When the local Kiwanis club decided last wear
to make bid for this convention. the support of
other organizations was solicited and cheerfully
granted These organizations joined with the local
club in extending cordial invitation for the holding
Of the convention here and the evidence that the in
vitation had the backing Of the community had an
important influence in the selection Of this years
convention city.
The convention is over and in the ligt of ali
that has been done it may be said that it would be
difficult to find anything to parallel and perhaps
impossible to find anything to surpass the spirit Of
community cooperation which had marked all the
work that has been done in connection with this
great gathering. City commission, Masonic bodies.
Commercial club Rotary and Lions clubs have ali
demonstrated, not only their willingness but their
eagerness to be of service, and the individual mem
bers Of all these organizations and others not so
affiliated, have responded promptly and heartily to
every request and have sought opportunities to be
Of service. y
The convention itself was the annual business
gathering of an organization but the people who at
tended it were regarded as the guests Of all the
people pf Grand Forks, and the people Of Grand
Forks considered themselves unit for the enter.
tainment Of their guests, and acted accordingly
This spirit not confined to the men Of the city
The women responded with, equal enthusiasm and
with equal success.
The manifestation Of this spirit was one Of the
things that made successful gathering possible. 1t
will make any gathering success It's existence
means the existence in the community of vital
force whose influence need not be- and is not con-
fined to acts Of hospitality. A city lives as that
spirit lives within it. 1t moves forward as that
makes itself manifest in all it's affairs And in the
evidence that has been given Of the existence and
operation Of this spirit here the city has not only
gained in the formation of friendships, but it
has had brought into prominence a factor which
may be made of nestmable permanent benefit to it
in all its activities.

Perhaps the latest controversy ON
this subject occurred over the avo-
cado. Because the avocado is called
the alligator pear lin this country
there was an argument as to whether
1t should come under the paragraph
IN tariff law providing certain rate
for pears. 1t was finally decided that
IT is nisnomer to call the avocado
a pear
1t was further brought out that
while this tropical fruit may be eaten
as fruit it is rarely, used as a dessert
In this country it is almost invaria bly,

Where trouble has occurred it is in

arise over new or unusual products

out Of New York. He was commits
stoned BY William III Of England as
privateer and he was given perrn1s

which may have included the king
