Lack of funds made it necessary that he miss every other year, that he might, by manual labor. earn funds to continue. Despite these handicaps, he was graduated at the age of 21, with a highly crcditable record.
 Butler nas never been a seeker oi public office, and has refused many times to be a candidate for various positions. The only offices he has held have been assistant county at torney, county attorney, member of the city library board, member of tho University of Minnesota library board of regents. However. he has retained a keen interest in politics. as a Democrat. and has done much active campaigning for his party.
 Butler attributes much of his sue cess in life to his wife's influence and help.
 Of their seven children. one daugh- ter is now studying law at Uni versity of Minnesota. and another died while serving as nurse in the World War. Four of his sons served in the army. Two of them are now associated with their fathers law firm.

 There are some stars from whim a faultless performance is always ex- pected, and numbered among these is Thomas Meighan. That he can al ways be relied upon to supply the most desirable form of entertainment was again demonstrated last evening at the Central theatre when his Para mount vehicle was given its premiere here. Bearing the unusual title, ''If You Believe It, It's So,' it tells in thrill ing sequence the story of a city crook who is strangely reformed and finds love and happiness. Adapted from the novel of Perley Poore Sheehan, and interpreted by cast which includes such favorites as Theodore Roberts. Charles Ogle, Pauline Stark and Jo- seph J. Bowling, the picture should enjoy popular favor.
