Sampson is authority for the state

"The Song of Life" which was
shown at the Grand last night, and
is still on the program for today, was
we'll received by the audience and
they were unanimous in their praise
of the picture. The picture depicts
the trials of a woman on the bleak
desert, who has nothing to look for
ward to but an endless life OF dish
washing. She gives up the struggle
and goes in search of the brighter
things of life, DESERVING her husband,
who is killed the day she leaves, and
her little boy, who comes into her
life again as man, struggling for
recognition as an author. An inter-
esting situation develops and the end
ing is novel. CASTOR Glass, the hero
Of "Humoresque'', is the hero in this
picture and is as great success as
in former pictures. Georgia Wood
thorpe, as the mother who deserts
her baby is very good and has a grip
ping appeal to the audience. This
picture is we'll worth seeing.

The county superintendent OF
schools office is busy these days ar
ranging for the Barnes County Bas-
ketball Tournament which is to be
held in this city on. March End and
3rd. This will be an elimination con-
test between all the schools OF the
county who wish to enter and creates
q great deal Of interest. Contrary
to tournaments of former years the
plan this year is to have the CONSOLE
dated schools Of the county play an
elimination series between themselves
and the town and city schools to play
like series between themselves, the
winners of these two series to play
off the final game. 1t is thought that
this will make more even contest
of the tournament and the final game
will be interesting in that it will be
game between the city and country.
Very few teams have entered as yet
but it is thought that the majority
Of the schools in the county will be
represented.
