Thursday evening was conceded by
those who attended to be one of the
best given recently. The songs were
spirited and the recitatiOns were
fine. The children entered into the
spirit of the occasion wholeheartedly
which accounts for their natural
ness in rendering the plays. The
pageant was beautiful as the cos
tunes were faithfully portrayed and
the rendition of the parts excellent.
The parents have good cause to be
proud of their children when they
can produce such an evening of
pleasure. We hope to give an Eas-

FINE LINCOLN DAY
PROGRAM GIVEN.
MICHAEL B. HURLEY AMERI.
CANIZATION WORKER
MAKES STIRRING
ADDRESS.

The Auditorium was comfortably
filled Tuesday evening on the occa-
son of the Lincoln Day observance
staged by Frank Lozar Post of the
American Legion. The Presbyterian
Church Orchestra opened the pro-
ceedings with several fine selections
after which Mrs. Slant rendered the
"RecessionaP by Kipling. Miss
Josephine Teigen read "He Knew
Lincoln" by Mary S. Andrews, in
which a fine picture of the martyred
president as man was drawn.
"Amer.ca the Beautiful" was given
by the High School Double Sextette
and the Audience sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" at the close.
The speaker of the evening, Mr..
Hurley, in his address on Lincoln
and Our Constitut on" gave the
audience much food for thought and
many happy illusions to the consti-
tuition and President Lincoln were
embodied He cited the fact that
Love, Justice and Education are the
three principles uppermost n
America and upontwh ch the nation
is founded.
"Love, justice and education are
the three principles upon which
every movement sponsored by the
legion are founded" Mr.. Hurley
asserted. He stated that the legion
sought welfare measures for the
disabled upon the grounds of love
and justice, and supported the Boy
Scout movement and every other
wholesome movement for the better
ment of youth, upon all three prin-
ciples.
The need of leadership and sup.
port of men in the scout movement
was stressed as the greatest need
of the organized effort being made
by the Boy Scouts towards better
citizenship in the growing genera.
ton.
He scored the movement on foot
among certain earnest and we'll
meaning groups to assert that the
supreme court of the United States
had no power to declare a law un-
constitutional as contrary to the
meaning and Interpretation given
that instrument by it's molders.
Likewise he scored those who
claim that the Constitution takes nc
heed of God inasmuch as the Divine
name is not written in it. Mr.
Hurley asserted that the assembling
of the many truths embodied in the
Constitution could not have been
made without Divine insight and de.
clared that the Constitution was
founded and based upon declarations
made in the sermon on the mount
In his tribute to Abraham Lincoln
the speaker stated that it was he
who saw and made plain the great
feet that the United States was but
one Federal state, and that each
component part was but a part of the
whole, without power to leave the
Union created by the Constitution
In his plea for cooperation, lead.
ership, interest and support for the
scout movement he declared that
the war record of the organization
was without biemish; that scouts
were the younger buddies" of lie.

scout and the legion men are ident.

TARKINGTON'S "GHOST STORY
WELL RECEIVED THURSDAY

Booth Tark.ngton's "Ghost Story
by the Dramatic Art Club, the mus
ical selections by the high school
orchestra and the vocal numbers by
the girls and the boys glee clubs
were warmly applauded by the fair
sized audience which attended the
program at the Washington Audit
orium last night.
"The Ghost Story" was a clever
one-act comedy, well acted, especial
ly the main roles by David Bourgin
George, and Helen Moore, Anna"
The play is opened when George, a
college boy who is to return to his
school-town in an hour, is attempting
to propose to Anna in her home
He realizes that Anna is popular
girl and that she might have callers
any minute This realization places
him into a nervous state and it Is
long before he can arrive at the di.
rect point of proposing. When he is
about to do so the doorbell rings and
the remainder of the cast troop come
in to settle down to an evening OF
enjoyment to his disgust. With the
hope that he can frighten the callers
home by telling a ghost story. He
talks for an half hour, However
he fr:ghten only Anna who almost
faints. She is left alone to recover
George contrives to come back and
stutteringly proposes and is accept
ed. The others taking part in the
play were Anne Popov.ch, Ann
Kapsch, Sara Mitt hell, Harold Rich.

some chronic infection, in most
cases the goiter will disappear if it
is treated promptly and properly.
eve feel therefore; that the
maximum good from minimum of
effort would be gained by applying
the principle of goiter prevention
to girls as public health measure.
This can best be done through our
public school organization, and the
education on this subject will insure
application of this method of goiter
prevention in later life. The pre-
vention of goiter during pregnancy
necessarily depends on the medical
profession and on the education of
the people as a whole. Each family
physician and obstetrician should
make this an important part of the
routine care Of every patient and
the diffusion of this knowledge must
be such that each expectant mother
will anticipate such care.

WHEN THE MINER is LATE.

Ny father says the paper he reads
amt put up right;
He finds lot of fault too, he does,
perusin' it all night;
He says there amt single thing in
it worth to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind OF
stuff the people need;
He tosses it aside and says it's
strictly on the bum,
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come!
He reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all get out;
He reads the social doin's with a
most derisive shout.
He says they make the papers for
the women folks alone;
He'll read about the parties and
he'll fume and fret and groan;
He says of information it doesn't
have a crumb-
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He is always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clean through.
He doesn't miss an item, or a want
ad-that is true;
He says they don't know what we
want, the darn newspaper guys;
Pm going to take a day sometime
and go and put 'em wise;
Sometimes it seems as though they
must be deaf and blind and
dumb"
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.

The birthday of Washington will

annually the story of our country.
We cannot do it more vividly than
by reviewing the character and
deeds of its founders. Underneath
bare history is the pulsing of spir-

matter most because without them
there is no history. The spiritual
phase of our struggle for liberty and

is the keynote of the morning SER

every pregnancy, she would not
develop goiter, nor would there be
any tendency toward goiter forma-
tion in the thyroid of her child.
This would save two of the goiter
periods in the life of any individual.
Then if every girl would keep her
thyroid saturated with iodin during
adolescence that is from the age
IL to 16 inclusive, none would de-
velop goiter.
"As to the prevention of goiter
in boys, the following facts are
permanent.
(1) Goiter is at least six times
more frequent in girls than in boys
(2) A large majority of golfers in

The Northwest mounted police of
Canada have demonstrated their
worth. If a state police in Mime
sofa could be maintained on similar
lines, why would it not be a good
thing for Minnesota? This is a
question that requires considerable
discussion and the papers of the
state are doing so at the present
time. Some seem to think that
taxes would not be materially in
creased as it would do away with
many police officers in local COM
munities and the service would be
more efficient than local officers in
caring for drunken drivers, chasing
auto thieves and highway robbers.
and otherwise protecting the travel
ing public. 1t is our opinion, how
ever, that local officers would be
just as numerous as now. Who
ever heard of an official resigning,
either local or state; after once
being touched with the official wand?
Get on the payroll and stay there is
the slogan.

Did you notice the drawing by
Darling in Mondays News-Tribune
where a boy was shown getting his
first class scout badge? The pic
ture was true to life and should fill
any young boy with zeal to ac-
complish this feat. Without doubt
the boy Scout" movement and
training therein received, fits the
boy for the future man better than
anything so far devised and it is
strange that not more boys avail
themseles of the opportunity to be.
come Scouts. The small towns af
ford the best opportunity for the
Boy Scout and yet it is a strange
fact that the movement is more
pronounced in the larger centers OF
population. This is partly account
ed for in the fact that the country
boy has plenty of out doors at al
times while the city boy jumps al
the chance for the outing the Boy
Scouts afford.
