Do the Bees and Ants
Know More Than
Human Beings?

The remarkable effect Of food Sc

case of the ants. The young (larvael
on Matching are at first all alike,
and those which become workers are
fed with different food than those
which develop into reproducing indi-
viduals.
Also in the case of the bees. We
know that the difference between
the queen and the worker bees is
due to differences in the nature Of
the food.

High Class Company
to Present 'Abie's
Irish Rose Saturday

The Auditorium will have for it's
attraction next Saturday, Feb. 10.
with matinee on Saturday afternoon,
Anne Nichols famous riot of laugh
ter, "Abic's Irish Rose," the shatter-
err of all known theatrical records
on the North American continent,
and which Miss Nichols sends to this
city with the company which has not
lost performance in almost two
solid years, it having added pages
to theatrical history by playing So
weeks in Chicago, % weeks In De-
troit. IL weeks in Milwaukee, four
weeks in Grand Rapids, and nine
weeks in Syracuse.
It seems hardly necessary to say
that "Abie's Irish Rose" has been
acclaimed a dispeller of gloom and
blues, for numerous critics who have
reviewed the play, both in the dailies
and the magazines, have proclaimed
it "a tornado of mirth" and ga Mia
CARA of laughter" Its story is one
of love and tolerance, and that it
serves it's purpose as happy me-
dium to overcome age-old racial and
religious antagonisms is well known
to all lovers and readers Of theatri-
cal news, and in its unfolding is so
delicately and deity told that it
gives offense to no one, but rather
leaves the auditor in better and
broader spirit Of good will toward
mankind.

Measure Provides
Fines For Voters
Who Fail to Vote

Plans to get tho voters to the polls
at all general and primary elections
by. filming them if they stay away
have been advanced by the house
elections committee which has intro
duced bill to enact the idea into
law.
The bill would provide a fine of
$3.50 for each, person who fails, re-
fuses or ncglccts to vote. Exccp-
ti0ns are made in the case of persons
who were too sick to go to the polls
or who were detained by the sickness
Of someone in the immediate FAM
lily. In such instances, however, the
voter must file an affidavit with the
county auditor showing the reason
why he did not cast his ballot. The
filing of false affidavit would be
a misdemeanor, punishable by law.
The bill provides that the assessor
in each district compile list Of the
eligible voters and that check be
made to see if any have failed to
avail themselves Of the right of
franchise.
The penalty would be collected by
adding the fine to the personal prop
erty tax list for the current year
and would be collected in the same
M0HIicI as LAKES aye COlIeCtcO.
Rep. R. o. Signalness. Mckenzie
county, has the same idea worked
out in different way. He would
levy So poll tax, the proceeds Of
which would go to the school dis
tricts. In the event the taxpayer
discharged his duty by voting, how
ever, the poll tax would be RENTED.
His bill provides for certified writ
ten excuses" to be issued by the
township or city clerk. The Signal
ness bill would make the penalty 81
per year instead Of $3.50 for each
election at which vote was not cast.

STATES WILL
TRY TO CHANGE
ELECTION LAWS
Nebraska Wants Ballots
Counted Soon After Being
Placed in Ballot Box

Chicago, Feb. 14.-[R-At least two
states in the central west are taking
steps to amend election laws so as
to speed up the count Of ballots. A
bill looking toward this is before the
Nebraska legislature and plans are
under way for introduction Of def
mite measure in Missouri.
In both states the proposals have
the backing Of The Associated Press
Editorial associations and other news
paper organizations.
The Nebraska bill provides that in
precincts where there arc separate
counting boards, the count shall start
after the first Is ballots have been
cast and continue thereafter until the
tally is complete, shortly after tho
polls close.
In Missouri it is proposed that cleo
ton judges be required to place a
count sheet on the outside of the seal
ed ballot bags that are sent to county
seats, thus making the totals avail
able for publication before the Off
Gals canvass.
The need for such provision was
pointed out by the close race in the
November 2 general election in Miss
ouri between Robert w. Otto, Repub-
lican, of Washington, Mo-, and Ern-
est S. CAN'T, Democrat, Of Mexico, for
state supreme court judge. The race
was nip and tuck for more than a
week, due to the fact that in numer-
Gus counties the votes had been seal
ed in ballot bags without any tally
sheet on the outside and the totals
cn,,1d mt ho NJ ,,ut;1 &c
fetal county count. The two candi-
dates alternated in the lead until
Judge CAN'T finally was shown to be
the winner by small majority.
Nebraska Measure
A contemplated Nebraska measure
would require election officials and
employees to complete the count of all
votes cast before they leave their
posts. 1t is pointed out that in many
precincts the judges suspend counting
after few hours on election night
until the next day.
Another proposal to speed up tho
count has been drawn up by City
Clerk Berg of Lincoln, Neb. Under it
election help would be paid on the
basis of the number of ballots cast
and not upon the number of hours
employed as at present. This, in
Berg's opinion would spur all to COM
plete the count as soon as possible.
Inere would be no incentive to pro-
long the work as their pay would be-
the same, regardless of the numbe r
of hours continued he explained.
Ohio has prompt" election law.
1t was passed four years ago, and,
under it, precinct officials are COM
PEELED to complete their unofficial
count before going home after the
polls close.

had said he did not believe Christ
possessed equal powers with God and
that he thought few university edu-
Gated clergymen did believe so. He
also said he felt conservation of
churches was a custom passed down
from witchcraft days and that the
clergy was "a suppressed, chained

DR.. Grant, born in Boston and
educated at Harvard, came to the
Church Of the Ascension from Fall

Issuing 100000 of collateral trust
CH per cent serial gold notes, the
Truax-Traer Coal company, owning
mines near Velva and Columbus,
plans development Of the two prop
critics on a large scale. Notes are
being marketed through Lane, Piper
and Jaffray of Minneapolis and St.
Paul.
The Columbus property, which has
been acquired from the Truax Coal
company, is located about IL miles
south of the Canadian border and
approximately 90 miles northeast Of
Minot.
Coal is recovered by strip mining
methods, a five-mile standard gauge
railroad connecting the property
For IL years the operating company
has not failed to show profit.
The Truax Coal company is the
largest strip mining producer of lig-
mite in North Dakota. Tonnage sold
during the last three fiscal years has
averaged 152,204 tons and during
1926 was 162,203 tons. Engineers
estimate that the field contains re-
coverable coal sufficient for 80 years
operation at present rates of pro-
ductiOn.
The holdings Of the company total
about 1000 acres of land underlaid
to large extent with Ignite, ut
least ISL acres having been proven
and workable. The coal strata varies
between six and nine feet in thickness
with an overbnrden varying from a
few feet to q maximum Of IS or 40
feet. The average is about &c feet
and consists of surface materials
with comparatively little rock and
is of character which can be ham
died by steam or electric stripping
ShOvels.
The Velva Property
The Velva property is near the
station Of that name on the main line
of the 500 Line southeast Of Minot.
The property embraces $50 acres and
projected plans for operation of a
mine are on a basis Of 100000 tons
annually.
The total amount Of Ignite re-
coverable by strip mining methods
is estimated to be not less than
100000 tons underlying the. 337h
acres Of the tract which have already
been proven. The average depth Of
the vein in the proven acreage is
approximately Is feet with an aver
age depth Of the overburden approx
imately IS feet.
The most moderh machinery will
be installed on this property to facil-
itate stripping and the handling
from the mine to railroad will be
simplffisd to the greatest extent. A
nine-mile spur track from point
along the main line Of the 500 will
be constructed along q ravine suit
able for trackage.

Mount Kisco, N. Y, Feb. 14.-(P)-
The Rev. Dr.. Percy Stickney Grant,

Christ, divorce and many other
questions frequently caused con-
troversies, died in hospital yester-
day.
He was &C. Last Tuesday he was
operated on for appendicitis. He
rallied but was weakened by uremic

DIR. Grant was unmarried. His en-
gagement to Mrs. Rita De Acosta
Lydig, twice divorced, was announced
in August, 1921, but was broken in
May, 1924, when Bishop Manning Of

the couple. The Episcopalian laws
forbid remarriage of divorced per-
sons except in specia; cases.

DR.. Grant gained prominent notice
by attacking these church laws in
