which is coming to the Palace the

The most amusing situation of all
centers about the activities of the
youth who has been rejected by his
girl father because he is a prize

to operating health resort, and as
luck would have it, the father and

The girl is played by the enehant-

SURGICAL HYPNOSIS

Interest has been drawn to hypnotism again by
important surgical operation performed in Chicago

The operation is said to have been successful without

This is really nothing new. Similar experiments
have been performed many times in many places 1t
is simple procedure, if the surgeon else

the patient is a good subject.
Nearly all successful physicians might be said to

the form of mental suggestion to susceptible patients.
Many parent does the thing with his children.
Let me pull that tooth OUT he says "t won't hurt
And the trusting child finds that it doesn't hurt much
Genuine hypnotism, complete hypnotic sleep, seems
to be the thing carried to its extreme, rendering
the subject unconscious of pain if there is any dim
sense of it at the time incapable of remembering it
afterward.
This method would be all right, and widely
used by physicians if it not for the danger
nected with it. Peoples minds, modern psychology
lists recognize more and more clearly, delicate
things to meddle with, and hypnotsm is violent
form of intrusion into the subjects mind
At BEST it gives the operator too much power

mental operations and seriously weaken his will

WEDDING MUSIC

The bonfire's the thing. Now is an American Lu-
theran minister in the city Of New York who would
like to have huge bonfire made of all the copies of
"Oh, Promise Me-" He wants that and other "senti-
mental ballads forever banned from church weddings.
He has heard it sung times too often and
bear it no longer.
This is bound to protests, just did the out
spoken Catholic clergymans decision that Beautiful
Isle of Somewhere would be sung at funerals
conducted by him.
Sentimental ballads and hymns may be out of place
and may introduce "a disharmonous note' at church
weddings and funerals Yet, after ALL are not these
things matters of personal preference and taste? Un
doubtedly there bissful couples to whom the sing
ing of "Oh, Promise Me- is very nearly as important
the reading of the marriage service in making their
wedding correct to the last detail.
There people who don't for old shoes, rice
and confetti at weddings; there others who regard
wedding complete without these eft-overs from
cient tribal customs.
Until statistics have been compiled to prove that the
singing of sentimental ballads at weddings causes
divorces and the absence of such song accompan
iment insures union and living happily forever
after, we'd be inclined to let every couple-or every
bride-decide on the music to suit themselves.

NEW CALENDAR P~RoPosED

January /, 1928 falls on a Sun
day. The next time u present
New Years Day comes on Sun
day will be in 1888. So if the 49,
month calendar is to go into effect
in the easiest possible way, be-
ginning the week exactly as at
present, something must be done
about it fairly soon, or we shall
wait another 5 years. The idea of
the 13-month calender, which is
strongly favored by the U. S.
Weather Bureau, is that there will
be 10 months of exactly 20 days
each, necessitating an extra month
probably set in between June and
July. There will be one day left
over, and it is proposed to call
this "Year Day" and make it a
universal holiday between Deem
Der % and January /. All in favor
say aye!

FUN WITHOUT MISCHIEF

For the second successive year
there has been no Halloween mis-
chief reported to the peace officers
in Wolf Point on the day follow
ing Halloween. Instead of warn
ing the young people of the city
that Chief of Police Stanley
would take them in tow if they
got into mischief on the evening
of Oct. 81, Mayor Appelgren ap-
pealed to their sense of fair play,
asking that they refrain from do
ing anything that would cause
trouble or expense to other citi-
zens of the town. The result was
very gratifying. Being treated as
decent law-abiding citizens instead
of potential criminals, the young
people acted as such. They had
their fun, plenty of it, but it was
clean wholesome fun at the school
house and it did not cause anyone
any trouble or expense. Wolf
Point has reason to be proud of
the behavior of it's youth.

Tuesday is better than Monday
for wash day, many housewives
believe. A day is needed in most
homes to straighten up the house
after Sundays relaxation, to look
over the clothes, mend them when
necessary to prevent larger tears,
remove unusual stains, and put
the white clothes to soak. Then
an early start can be made on the
work on Tuesday.

PRESENT DAY MIRACLES

They tell us the day of miracles
is past, but we r inclined to
doubt it. 1t is now possible to
turn darkness into day by simply
turning a button. A stream OF
water flows from the solid walls
by a simple twist of the wrist. Any
voice you desire comes to you
through the telephone box. Dis
lance is no drawback. Voices of
the dead speak to you through the
photograph disc. Pictures r. be-
ing sent through the air. The
music of bands, orchestras, opera
singers, orators come at your com
mand by radio whether you are
located on mountain top, in a cave,
the broad plain, in the air, or
in mid-ocean. They come to you
with precision, out of the great
void. Ships now travel beneath
the waves and through the air as
we'll as on the face of the deep.
1t is uncanny, this daily magic that
gives you new eyes, new ears, new
hands, new faces, new emotions.
The miracles of today are greater
than at any time in history, an
cient or modern.-EXchange.
