l only knew she came and went
Like troutlets in pool;
She was a phantom of delight,
And l was like a fool.
"One kiss, dear maid," l said, and sighed,
Out of those lips unshorn;
She shook her ringlets round her head,
And laughed in merry scorn.
Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky,
You heard them, o my heart;
'Tis twelve at night by the castle clock,
Beloved, we must part.
"Come back, come back!" she cried in
grief,
"My eyes are dim with tears,
How shall live through all the days?
All through hundred years?"
Twas in the prime of summer time
She blessed me with her hand;
We strayed together, deeply blest,
Into the dreaming land.
The laughing bridal roses blow,
To dress her dark brown hair;
My heart is breaking with my woe,
Most beautiful, most rare!
l clasped it on her sweet, cold hand,
The precious golden link!
l calmed her fears, and she was calm,
Drink, pretty creature, drink"
And so won my Genevieve,
And walked in Paradise;
The fairest thing that ever grew
Atween me and the skies.

500 RY. TO REDUCE PASSENGER
FREIGHT HOMESEEKERS RATES

G. S. Baxter, superintendent of the
500 Railway Co., was in Minot Tues
day comforting with E. j. McGrath,
500 agent at this point. Mr.. Nc
Grath will meet Mr.. Baxter in Mime
apolis the first of the week with tho
500 officials and discuss the PROPOSE
ton of giving immigrant rates to
North Dakota, both as to railroad
fare and immigrant rates. The 500
will undoubtedly make some impor-
tant concessions in time to permit
an eastern farmer to ship out to
North Dakota and be here in time
for the spring work.
President Pennington announced re-
Gently that low round trip passenger
fares for homeseekers would very
likely be given. but did not state the
rate. 1t is believed that it will be
a cent mile.
There are hopes Of securing rate
for an immigrant rate from Iowa
or Illinois or one of the other middle
states for approximately $4,000, per-
mlttlng one person to accompany each
car: This will be determined later.
The 500 Railway realizes that even
tho they may be called upon to bring
homeseekers into this locality at cost
or even less, it will pay them we'll
eventually as there are SO many good
farms which are not now being titled.
The resources of this section Of the
state have not been developed twenty
five per cent. This would prove the
salvation for many renters on the
high priced land of the states east
of US who can never hope to own q
farm of their own unless they come
west where the price is within their
reach.
There are large number Of good
farms in northwestern North Dakota
that will be idle this year unless ad-
ditional farmers are brot in to handle
them, for many Of the farmer who
have been handling large tracts are
going to cut down their acreage and
pay more attention to intensified
and diversified farming methods.

Brings Back Optimistic Reports from
the East

Jacob Raub is back from busi-
ness trip to Milwaukee Wis. and In
dianapolis, Ind. Mr.. Raub repre-
sents the Avery line in this territory
and at Milwaukee visited the plant.
He reports that many of the cities
in the east are using the Avery road
maintainers for clearing their streets
of snow.
Thruout the east, Mr.. Raub found
the conditions similar to those in
North Dakota, only the losses are on
much larger scale. He attended
an Optimist club meeting in Indian
apolis where it was freely predicted
that the worst period of depression
had been passed and the chances for
1922 showing a steady Improvement,
no boom at all, but gradual change
for the better. In Indianapolis, more
building permits have been granted
for 1922 than during both 1920 and
1921. Life insurance companies in
the east have broken all records. Not
many mills are running. In Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio, great damage is
reported to the corn from weevil and
rot. Many hogs and cattle have
died, presumably from eating this
corn and the government is now in
vestigating.

One of the most thoroly enjoyable
gatherings of the Minot Rotary club
was Tuesday nights meeting at the
Association of Commerce rooms,
Ladies' Night being featured. 1t
was attended by practically every
member of the Rotary and his lady
with few invited guests.
Promptly at 6:15 o'clock the assem-
blage filed into the banquet hall where
they sang America and the invoca-
ton was given by Rev. P. w. Erick-
son. Major E. S. Person was chair
man of the Rotary meeting proper
and there wasn't a dull moment from
the opening of the meeting until the
close of the program given by the
ladies at the conclusion of the Ro-
tary session.
A group Of three poppy songs were
sung under the direction of Otto FL
lison. l.. A. White on behalf of the
club presented the leader with baton
which had been improvised from a
stick, small doll and Scotch plaid
ribbon. A. E. Boynton, a new men,
ber was inducted into the club. DR..
Lee Beeler delivering a splendid adj
dress on Rotary principles. DR.. Ar
chic McCannel read the Rotary paper
on his classification, illustrating his
address with slides. He spoke par
ticularly on colds which are usually
the direct result of infection Of the
mucous membrance of the nose or
other portions of the head, brot on
thru i'll ventilated or overheated
rooms. People as a rule dress too
warm. Woolen underwear is not
recommended as it does not readily
absorb the moisture from the body
or permit it to escape. The doctor
concluded his address by showing a
number of baby pictures of Rotarians
and their wives with pictures taken
in later life.
John E. Howard contributed two
violin selections, "Rondino" by Kreis-
ler and "Good Night" by Nevin, both
thoroly appreciated. Mr.. Howard
told an interesting story concerning
the violin which he was playing that
night. During his recent visit in St.
Paul he left his own violin for repair,
and was loaned genuine Gagliano
violin which was made in 1926 accord
ing to the label which has been pro-
nounced genuine. According to the
registry, the minimum value of a
Gagliano violin is 100000. 1t be-
longs to St. Paul man named Mills
and is in the keeping of Ernest Kreul,
an old violin maker who has done
Mr.. Howard's work for ten years.

S0LIEN BROTHERS SEVER CON-
NECTI0N WITH N. Y. STORE

Patrons of the New York Depart
ment store will learn with surprise
that Marvin Solien and his brother,
Noel, have severed their connections
with the store and purchased a busi-
ness house at Jamestown, North Da-
kota, where they will make their fu-
ture home.
: For the past ten years Marvin So
lien has had personal charge of the
management of the New York Depart
lnent store and his courtesy and tact.
ability has given this store con-
terprises Of the city.
Coming to the city some Is years
ago, Marvin was first sent to White
Garth where he made bis initial bow
IN the role of retail merchandising.
His services here won him promotion
and three and one-half years later
ie was transferred to Minot and be-
came identified with the New York
store here. AS his grasp of details
and knowledge of the intricacies of
the business developed his response
bilities increased until he finally as
sumed the active direction of this i'm
mense establishment. AS all know
the past decade has witnessed Won
-derful growth among the commercial
houses Of Minot and not the least in
yrogress manifest has been the grad
lal development of the New York
tore. Upon the incorporation Of the
tore few years ago Mr.. Solien .ac
i1ired considerable interest in the
Enterprise as did two Of his brothers
Oscar, now deceased, and Noel who
ill embark with Marvin in the new
business at Jamestown.
julius Fauchald, principal owner Of
the New York store, together with his
son, Melvin, has taken over the inter-
ests of the Solien brothers and Melvin
will assume the management of the
store, assisted for a few months by
the advice and counsel Of mis- father
who arrived in Minot last week for
this purpose.
In the removal of Marvin Solien and
family from the city we lose one of
our best families. For years Marvin
has been active in the work of the
Association of Commerce, the Town
Criers and since the formation Of the
Rotary Club, he has been actively
identified with it's interests. During
the war, Marvin gave unstinted Of his
time and efforts in promoting the var
ious activities incident thereto. The
best wishes of host of friends ac-
company the Solien brothers.
To a representative of the lnde-
pendent he states that the change has
been under consideration for some
time. His withdrawal from Minot
is not due in any wise to a loss of
confidence in Minot's future growth
but simply to desire on the part of
himself and brother to get into busi-
ness for themselves. That their
confidence in North Dakota is not
shaken is manifest in their remaining
in the state as they have absolute
faith in the future growth and great
ness of our commonwealth. He ex-
presses regret only at the thought
that the change removes him from
active contact with hundreds Of tried
and true friends whose friendships
he will ever treasure among his most
cherished possessions.

TO HEAD
FINANCE COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. 2.-The death of
Senator Boies Penrose Of Pennsyl-
vania, following so closely upon the
death of Senator P. C. Knox, brings
about for the first time a condition
in which a state will be represented
by two senators serving by appoint
lnent, pending a senatorial election,
and may bring about changes of the
greatest political Importance in Penn
sylvania.
In the senate, however, the effect
of Senator Penrose's death will be less
marked, due to the fact that by rea-
son of his long illness much of his
work has been passed into the hands
of Senator P. j. McCumber Of North
Dakota, who will |serve as acting
chairman of the finance committee un-
til chairman is appointed.
Last of Vanishing Race
But Senator Penrose's place in pub
lie affairs will never be filled: That
was the judgment of the politicians
race that counted among it's numbers,
Platt, Quay, Hanna, Aldrich and
Crane. He was the unchallenged chief
of the political agency exalted as the
republican organization Of Pennsyl-
vania or execrated as the machine.
For the first time in 40 years the
chairmanship of the powerful finance
committee passes from the east to
the west. The terms Of Morrell, AL
drich and Penrose, who were the re-
publican chairmen of this committee,
covered 40 years. AS the farm bloc
comes to power the craftsmanship
passes to the west, as Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota will be elect
ed to that place following seniority
in succession.
The successor of Senator Penrose
will be named by the governor of
Pennsylvania within the next 10 days.
1t will be the second vacancy in the
senate to be filled by Governor Sproul
within month. The other was oc-
casioned by the death Of Knox, whose
successor is William E. Crow. The
term of Sproul as governor will ex-
pire in January of next year and it
is considered likely that he will name
for the Penrose vacancy Edwin S.
Stuart of Philadelphia, former gov
ernOr.
Funeral Will Be Private
Penrose died as he lived, devoting
himself to duty. He refused to ignore
business in the last days of his ILL.,
ness and continued to dictate letters
and attend to correspondence. Even
in the last hours Of his life he declin-
ed to go to bed and sat on the side
of the bed, where he expired peace
fully, his eyes turned to the capitol
dome, which faces his apartment win
dows.
The body was taken to Philadelphia,
where burial will take place probably
Wednesday. In keeping with his
wishes and that of his family, the
funeral and burial will be simple and
private.

LADIES NIGHT AT ROTARY
PROVED BRILLIANT AFFAIR

Kreul has worked for the leading mu-
sic firms Of the country, including
Rudolph Wurlitzer Of Cincinnati and
Jenkins Of Kansas City. The Gag
liano has a very even tone and is
seasoned. Mr.. Howard's own instru-
ment was made by o. M. Robinson
Of St. Paul in 1911 and while it is
Of a later date, Mr.. Howard believes
that he has an instrument equal in
tone to the Gagliano. When his own
instrument is returned comparison
test will be made. The back of Mr..
Howard's violin was made from the
back of a chair taken from an old
French cathedral.
One of the enjoyable features of
Tuesday nights meeting was the
drawing for prizes. Mrs. Albert Lowe
won the beautiful woolen auto robe
given by the Fair Store, and Carl N.
Cox, president of the Kiwanis club
the imported Scotch cap given by the
M. G. Olson Co. Mr.. Cox favored
the Rotary with a few appropriate
remarks.
The meeting was then turned over
to the Rotary AIMS" and for an hour
thev made the Rotarians feel quite
foolish. Mrs. w. NJ. Smaet was
chairman and some of the wittiest
Rotary papers ever heard by the club
were given by the ladies. The ladies
"took the bit in their teeth" and fairly
ran away with the affair. For the
first time in the history of the club,
the mere men had to content them
selves with sitting on the side lines.
and altho some Of the things said
about them, most of them true, need
ed explanation, no opportunity was
given for rebuttal. Some Of the Ro-
tarians who have read the most en-
tertaining papers at the meetings are
now being accused of getting their
wives to write them. The "Rotary-
AIMS" were represented by Mesdames
]. H. Cotton, L. A. White, S. J. Ras-
mussen, H. S. Davies, H. NJ. Ross, r.
S. Person, John Howard, Ira Jones,
Frank Taylor, R. w. Pence. P: w.
Erickson and Mrs. George w. KEN
per, the latter making a decided hit
with her orchestra in playing Hold
your peace or say it with flowers"
The ladies enjoyed the meeting as
much as the men and they will most
surely accept another invitation to
attend similar function if they ever
get the opportunity. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion that each and every
number on their program was bril-
liant gem scintillating with wit.
