KING GEORGE IN SPEECH

Paris, Nov. 16.--(By the A. PD-
Premier Poincare took issue with
Prime Minister Baldwin Of Great
Britain as to who is to blame for
the present Franco British differ
ences when he rose unexpectedly to
speak in the Chamber Of Deputies
this afternoon during an Interpolation
Of foreign affairs.
II cannot let it be said that it is
by our fault an agreement has not
been reached" Mr.. Poincare said.
KING DIsSOLvES PARLIAMENT
London, Nov. licking George,
acting on the advice of his cabinet,
this morning dissolved parliament in
preparation for the general election
to be held December 6. Parliament
reasscmbles on December 20.
The Kings speech follows in parts:
my government recently initiated
pegotiations aiming at the appoint
ment with the collaboration of the
United States of a commission of
inquiry to determine Germany's ca
pacity to pay reparations. Unfortun-
ately it has not been possible to
secure the assent of the French gov
ernment to these proposals which it
has been hoped would lead to solu-
tion of the, reparations problem.
my government regards with pro-
found anxiety the continuance Of the
present economic conditions in Eur
ope which depend so largely on q
settlement of this question. A serious
situation has developed in Germany
which is engaging the close and
earnest attention of my government.
Negotiations are proceeding with
the United States government for
the settlement Of. difficulties with
regard to the carriage of liquor in
transit and Illicit importation into
the United States.
/ "The position of agriculture and
| the problems of unemployment
+, throughout the country continue to
cause me deep anxiety despite all ef-
forts of my government to stimulate
trade and alleviate distress, the cir
cumstances of large numbers Of our
fellow citizens still remain deplor-
able. My ministers are convinced that
unless measures for the safeguard
ing and development of home na:.
kets are adopted no permanent im
| provement in this situation can b.
| expected"

Ed. Doppler of Board township in
an interview today, said that he
came to North Dakota in the spring
of 1914. He bought one-half Sec
tion &C land. assuming debt of
$5OOO.Oo' and started farming with
two ponies, two cows, a calf, a
spring wagon and walking plow. He
said that at the beginning he deter
mined that he would not get any
deeper in debt and would not pur-
chase anything unless he had the
cash with which to make payment.
He also resolved that he would farm
only as much land as he could hand
lie himself in careful manner.
With the few dollars which he
drought with him he purchased Is
small pigs at $3.50 each and raised
ten acres of corn the first year. OF
this first purchase of pigs, 9 were
sows which he kept over and in 1915
he raised so pigs and had 25 acres
c. corn. His aim each year thereaf-
ter was to raise so to 60 pigs, put
in about 35 acres corn which was
thoroughly cultivated and also raise
quite a speltz crop as additional food
for his hogs. In the meantime as
opportunity afforded he bought few
more cows and in, this manner and
from the natural increase his herd
of cattle was gradually enlarged
From time to time machinery was
purchased as he could afford and al
so, as he slowly pulled ahead finan-
cially payments were made on the
land mortgage which was eventually
discharged in full.

FlREMEN'S 10TH ANNUAL
BALL FEBRUARY 18th

The members of the Wolf Point
Volunteer fire department announce
i their tenth annual ball for Lincoln's
birthday, February IL, at the Coli
scum.
The boys always make these annual
affairs one of the big events of the
year and preparations will be more
complete than ever this year. There
will be a good time for everybody
and everybody is invited and expect
ed.
The receipts from these balls are
one of the sources of the funds the
department must have to keep up the
equipment and maintain the high
standard. The new electric siren
and alarm system is new expense
that must be met and valuable ad-
dition to the equipment.
The first class protection from fire
that the property owners enjoy is a
big local asset that has resulted in
lower insurance rates and may bring
further reductions. Keep these things
in mind when the ticket sellers come,
and don't fail to buy at least one
ticket to the Firemen's ball.

AGED PARENTS JOIN
SON AFTER IS YRS
TEDIUS JOURNEY FROM DEVA-
STATED RUSSIA ENDS AT
VIDA FARM HOME

Eighteen years ago Robert Pan
kratz, then boy of 18, left his home
in Russia to seek fortune in Amer
lea. Eighteen years later the aged
parents follow after. But it was a
Russia vastly changed from what
their son knew when they left. AT
least three times the vicissiudes of
war and revolution have buffeted the
old people back and forth between
Russia and Poland and since 1914
they have had a precarious existance.
They were indeed rejoiced safely
to reach America, sanctuary of the
oppressed of the world, and come out
to the great new land of Montana of
which their son had written.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pankratz, who are
close around 70 years of age, reach
ed Wolf Point Sunday night on No.
8 and established themselves in the
depot, patiently to await the appear
ance of the son they had not seen
for 18 years. They might have had
a long wait indeed. The son knew
of their arrival in America, but hav-
ing had their tickets routed to Richey
considerably nearer home, he had
been making daily trips to that town
to meet them. But for some reason
they were brought here.
Unable to speak a word of any
language but Russian, it was diff
cult for those who interested them
selves IN their case to get any neces-
sary facts. But the old people had
learned the name Vida and manag-
ed to make it known that they had
son there. They were somewhat
worried and alarmed and wary of
strangers. Finally they
were induced to go to the Erickson
hotel and once in its comfortable,
homelike surroundings they became
reassured.
Monday J K. Readekopp came in
from Lustre and was able to con-
verse with them The same day
Gus Goedecke came from his farm
near Vida and only six miles from
he home of Robert Pankratz. He
offered to take them to their desti-
nation on Tuesday. They were just
/ little dubious over the idea, they
.ould wait and the son would surely
,ome. Riding off among the hills
distance of 80 miles with a total
stranger was not safe in Russia. But
hey finally accepted and it must
lave been a reunion frought with
deepest motion-Ameriea safety,
riends, home, at last.

MAGNITUDE OF ilqGRAM'S
PRISONER OF ZENDA"

Some idea of the staggering pro
portions of Rex Ingram's production
| for Metro, "The Prisoner of Zenda'
and the magnitude of the task which
confronted the young director OF
"The Four Horsemen" may be had
from the statistics of production
items in connection with the photo
play. The figures presented by
Metro reveal "The Prisoner of Zenda''
which will be at the Liberty theatre
Thursday and Friday, as one of the
greatest undertakings in the history
of the photoplay
The total cost of the picture, COM
puted down to the last 2-cent stamp
was $1,118,453.16. This would make
the cost of every foot of finished film
approximate one hundred and eleven
dollars, provided the picture is in ten
reels.
Those who contributed to making
the picture-actors, technical men
everyone, including Mr.. Ingram him
number more than $4,000 per-
sons. This is, roughly, equal to the
of Oswego, N. Y.
The footage of raw film exposed
was 257,521. Laid out in a straight
line, it would measure 481a miles.
The scenario comprised 1922
pages-more than in H. G. Wells's
'eThe Outline of History" Every de-
tail of setting and action was type
written before the camera had been
turned single time.
A village and six blocks of city
dwellings, were built for exterior
scenes in the kingdom of Ruritania.-
Twenty-six costume designers and
,ther artists gave four months to
he creation of costumes.
In the costume factory, built pre-
-ious to the making of "The Four
Iorsemen, "540 persons were en-
cutters, dressmakers
nd special workers.
The total tonnage of building ma
erials of all sor used in the con-
truction of :ne settings was $4,000
ons- about five times the weight OF
he biggest modern battleship.

THE WEEKS OBSERVATIONS ON
WORK OF STATE LEGISLATURE

most skeptical as to the control of
4 the lower body the administration
forces again marshalled to the sup
port of H. B. No. 5, the tax commits
sion measure, which doubtless heads
the list of the Dixon program. Rep.
/ Oker of Lewis and Clark opened fire
on the bill by offering an amend
ment to cut the salary of the three
proposed commissioners from $4,000
year to $4,000 year, and in sup
port of his contention recited many
states, larger than our state, both in
population and wealth, and commits
sioners in those states being paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
But the administration forces ar
gued that it was necessary for the
state TO pay each Of the new mem
bers $4,000 annually IN order to cope
with the high salaried tax experts Of
the N. P. Railroad, Montana Power
Co. and the A. C. M Company, and
it was claimed that the experts of
these corporations were receiving
from $500 to $4,000 year.
The barrage sent up by the Dixon
ties found its mark and when the
smoke of battle had finally cleared
away it was found that the pro-
ponents of the measure had won by
about Is votes. No actual count
could be had as the bill was under
discussion in the committee of the
whole, but, on the third reading the
bill carried by so to IL. 1t will now
be sent to the senate and there is
every reason to believe the measure
will find harder shedding in the upper
body and it is claimed by those who
ourport to know "Who's Who and |
Why" that the salaries will be cut
20 $4,000 a year.
Proposed Amendments
Lobel of Lewis and Clark gave
notice of two constitutional amend
nents. One would provide that the
legislative session be held once each
our years, and second that the mem
,ers be elected every four years in
