Personalities
By Nellie Dodson

Every time pass the Shubert Thea
tire in Minneapolis / recall the days
when ushered there and the good ole
times I had. The Shubert girls who
ushered while was there were JANE
MITCHELL, DOT GARDN E r
CORDY FREEMAN, SALLY ALVIS
AGNES ELLIS, CLARISSA JAMES
HELEN CLACK, DINA TICHNER
with PATTIE MITCHELL coming
down to help on nights when the
crowds got too heavy for the
regular girls. MARY TURNER
helped out quite a bit, also, if
remember correctly, and I believe
both girls formerly were regular ush-
ers. Anyhow we made merry gang
and had lot of fun. There was a
tiny room we called the dressing
room; it was so small that when all
of US got in there at the same time
and tried to get in front of the long
mirror and shelf, someone usually got
crowded out. The gossip of the Twin
Cities was discussed, milled over, and
judged night after night in that little
room. Boy friends were compared
contrasted, knocked, or complimented
in there, and believe you me, if some
of the sheiks could have heard what
was thought Of them their ego would
have received quite jolt. Somebody
was always running out of powder
or rouge and borrowing from some
one else, there was usually an assort-
ed collection of clothing hanging up
against one wall, and the cleaning
lady was always reporting us for
leaving gum, candy wrappings, paper,
and old magazines all over the place.
Under a table in one corner was a
heap of shoes belonging to anybody
and everybody, and when someone's
feet hurt and she wanted some comfy
shoes to usher in, under the table
she would go and she would find any
thing from former spiffy party slip
pers retaining only vague resem-
blance to their first glory, to low
heeled sports shoes.
We were due on the ."f1oor" or on
duty at seven-thirty, if I remember
correctly. The girls on the main floor
had to be at their posts regardless OF
unlocked uniforms, or twisted stock
ings, but the girls in the balcony
could take a few extra minutes to
make adjustments. There was a lot
of giggling and sign-making going
on which most of the customers evil
IDENTIFY didn't notice. I was one of
the balcony crew. We carried fash
lights up there, and batteries were
always going flooey at the wrong
time. I remember one night during
a mystery play, when the stage was
pitch black, and the houselights were
almost entirely off, and my flash
lights went out. The customer
couldn't see, and it was only through
knowing the stairs almost by heart
Twin-City herald., 1933-09-16

that I could get around. One party
refused TO wait until the stage was
lighted UP again, and 1t would have
been in very short time, but they
insisted on going to their seats. !
had to lead each one by the hand
like / would have done small child.
When the lights went on we could
usually hear the click of the house
switch in the dressing room, but one
night we were all making too much
noise, and it was not until someone
opened the door to let blue fog of
cigarette smoke out that we heard Al
K. the manager, bawling at the top
of his voice: where the are
those girls!"
There were always people who
thought they could find their seats
without the help of an usher. Nine
times out of ten they would get into
the wrong seats and we would have
to move 'em to where they belonged.
Did they get mad at themselves for
being so smart-alec? No sir, they
took it out on us! There were always
people who changed their seats and
threw everything into grand muddle.
There were always people who were
discontented with the seats they had
been given, and threatened to have,
Billy, who worked in the box office
discharged. It took world of pa
tience to be sweet and nice to some
Of them. There were always bald
headed old men who grinned, and
fresh young men who would just have
to make some wise retort as you
handed them their programs. All of
US got bawled out by some blockhead
for something which was entirely the
blockhead's fault and not ours. I
never will forget the evening when
an irate old lady came up to me and
demanded that I do something about
the gentleman in the row behind hers
who was eating peanuts so loudly and
rustling the bag so viciously that she
couldn't hear half the lines which were
being spoken on the stage!
Folks seem to think DON BRYANT
will make a swell hubby, and that
speaks well for the boy. Most en-
gagged males around these two towns
come in for quite a bit of discussion
as to their fitness for future matri-
mony, and believe me, general opinion
is not always as complimentary to-
wards them as it has been towards
Don.

THIS COUNTY WILL
RECEIVE $72,912 FOR
USE ON ITS ROADS

Pine county will receive S72,912 as
its 1888 share of the state one-mill
road tax and the gasoline tax. This
was decided at meeting of the State
Board of Allotment in St. Paul, says
Highway Department bulletin.
From the one-mill tax, Pine county
will get $12,912, while its share of the
gasoline tax will amount to 100000.
This money includes $4,000 voted by
the board as special allotment in
addition to the regular allotment.
The total amount to be distributed
from the State Road and Bridge fund
this year will be considerably less
than in 1882, owing to the lower prop
erty valuations, tax delinquencies and
a decreased consumption of gasoline
in the state The Board of Allotment
placed the total available from the
one-mill levy at 81 ,291,200 compared
with S1,S97,000 last year. The 1888
share of the counties in the gasoline
tax was put at S3.600,000 by the board,
as against S4,325,000 in 1882.
Members of the board of allotment
are N. W. Elsberg, commissioner of
highways, Stafford King, state auditor.
and julius Schmahl, state treasurer.

SERVED WELL

People having had affairs with the
State Banking Department during the
past two years will be sorry to hear
that John N. Peyton has resigned
from the position of bank commits
sioner but will at the same time be
happy in the thought that he is to
receive a personal advancement in
his appointment to chairman of the
board of directors of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Minneapolis. Mr.. Pey-
ton is a Duluth man where he was
banker for many years and is a man
of experience and much executive
ability, resolute and definite in his
transactions. His successor, Elmer
A. Benson, who has headed the State
Securities Commission, but will now
head the Banking Department, is also
a man of ability and takes on the re-
sponsible position with high recon-
mendations. He is from the rural
sections of the state, his home being
at Appleton. There seems to be a
desire on the part of many that the
State Banking Department should be
headed by man from the rural dis
trict and who has had experience in
rural banking. In Mr.. Benson the
department has such leader.

THE GOAL

1t is to be hoped that whatever
may occur in the way of strikes,
lockouts, and ceasing to render serv-
ice will be on a peaceful order. When
folks are dissatisfied with conditions,
and the farmers have the right to
feel that way about it today, there is
tendency to get excited about 1t
and condemn right and left. Some
times innocent bystanders, because
they are near at hand, may suffer
from the consequences of a strike,
when as a matter of fact the effects
of the strike were intended for 9TH
ers. The result sought by a strike
is what must be kept uppermOSt in
the minds of those striking, and not
too much attention paid to temporary
arguments or disagreements over de-
tails.

THE CLARK TRAGEDY
(Union AdvOcate)

The pathetic death of Genevieve
Clark has invoked the universal SYM
patty of those who were quick to
condemn her in life. Rather than
bring the stigma of shame to her
boys, Mrs. Clark chose to end 1t all
and take with her into the unknown
the ones she loved more than life
itself The world can better shed
tear at her grave than to condemn
her now.
But beyond the sordid affairs Of
her last hours there are other con-
siderations which cannot be buried
with her. Someone violated a trust
when her name was placed among
those eligible for jury service. And
the Indifference of pride-hurt officials
and the sick-bed claims of court

"THIS Is MY COURT"
(The Nation)

While Washington fiddles with
plans for farm relief of doubtful value
to farmers and of dangerous pOrtent
to the country as whole. Governor
Herring of Iowa has done his bit for
distressed agriculturists by calling
out the militia and putting part
of the State under martial law. 1t
is hard to see how this can lessen
the sense of outrage which farmers
feel at finding themselves dispos-
sessed from their homes for causes
which they can in no way control.
1t may surprise some to learn that
mortgage foreclosures are still going
on in Iowa after the action of the
legislature at its recent session.
law was then passed postponing all
foreclosures on mo. tgageS untll March
/, 1895, meanwhile putting the prop
erty i'm question in court control. But
the constitutionality of this law has
yet to be passed upon by the States
high court, and in the interim some
judges are carrying it out while 9TH
ers are not. Judge Charles G. Brad
granting foreclosures, and delega-
ton of local farmers visited him to
ask that he stop. They seem to have
come into court somewhat truculent-
ly, some with their hats on and smOk-
ing Thereupon Judge Bradley, with
concern for the majesty of the
law which is the one question upon
l. Sob, kha no. oh l. oil
rebuked the delegation with the
words, as given in a press report.
This is my court
Perhaps the farmers were, unlnten-
tionally or purposely, discourteous.
Anyhow Judge Bradleys SNUG declar-
alton did nothing to sweeten the tenn
pers of men who knew in fact that
judges salary paid out of taxes wrung
! from them and other hard-preSsed
citizens of the state. In an attack
apparently not previously meditated,
the farmers dragged the judge out OF
the court, beat him, smeared him
with grease, and put rope around
his neck. 1t is hard to say at this

rings injection of military rule into
the region was justified, but it is we'll
to recall that in the last quarter of
century Iowa has been reduced
from a foremost place among our
sound and prosperous agricultural
states to utter chaos. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
just reported that from 1929 to the
end of 1882 the gross income Of Amer
lean farmers declined by 81 per cent
and their cash return by ~ per cent.
Iowa farmers contributed magnifi-
Gently to make this showing, and
whatever money they have left is
largely impounded in closed banks.
In summary of the banking situa-
ton of the country on March 10 last.
the Associated Press reported that
out of 100 Federal Reserve banks in
Iowa, only 80 had been allowed to re-
open, while of 626 nOn-member insti-
tutions all but 40 were still closed.
Governor Herring's bayOnet rule may
restore what is called order to the
stricken area but it cannot give it
life.

DID NEEDED WORK

Commenting on the work of the
1888 Minnesota Legislature The
Minneapolis Tribune wrote in
part as follows:
state Legislature that reduced its
1881 budgets by nearly $6,OOO,OOO
that cut automobile license fees from
20 to so per cent, provided for the
management and liquidation of the
expensive rural credits experiment.,
accomplished reappOrtionment of
the states representation in congress,
passed the controversial legislation
providing for sewage disposal in the
Twin City area, provided for the
legalized sale of beer and for the
resubmission of the Eighteenth
amendment to state convention, and
passed other special legislation to
meet immediate difficulties growing
out of the economic stringency affect
ing individuals and governments, cam
not be said to be undeserving Of
praise.
When the session is taken as a
whole, and the political and economic
factors with which it was contending
are cons idered, the 1888 session closed
with much needed work accom-
plished. While the session will be
both praised and blamed for what it
left undOne, adjournment does not
write the last word on the worth of
its work. Only the unpredictable
events of the future can determine
accurately how we'll it prepared for
the days that are to come and how
we'll it met those problems which i'm
mediately confronted it.

In mileage of state roads paved

twelfth.
The national compilation accepts
the entire $40 miles of Minnesota's

THE HOLIDAY MOVEMENT

Editor AskOv Americans:
Without a doubt the Farmers Holt
day association is the most militant
organization that ever existed in Pine
county as it was proved by the dem
onstration at the Armory last Satur-
day evening. 1t was estimated that
the attendance was in excess OF a
thousand people. The principal speak
er for the evening was Harold Peter
son from Willmar, who gave the peo-
pie of Pine City and vicinity his
views as to the program and activl-
ties of the Farmers Holiday move
ment which was applauded occa-
sionally. The National Farmers Holt
day association at their recent con-
vention in Des Moines, Iowa. voted
unanimously to call nationwide
strike on May 13 on all farm products,
but some delay was encountered, how
ever, pending action on the farm re-
lief bill in Congress.
Twenty-four states and delegation
from Canada were represented at the
convention.
1t was reported at the convention
that Mr.. Bartlett, state chairman or
the Holiday association OF the State
Of New Mexico hitch-hiked through
his state and secured over 10000
members.
The Holiday Association members
of the state of Oklahoma, praised
their governor, alfalfa Bill (Mur-
ray) as he is known down there as an
outstanding governor. However sec
ond only. as they placed the governor
of Minnesota as the leading governor
in the United States.

BACK TO NORMAL

In its happy and snappy way The
Minneapolis Star, writing editorially
about the rise of the waters in the
lakes of Minneapolis for which that
city is we'll known, brings out that
even the lakes have Joined the new
deal" The Star puts it thus:
''One of the finest civic improve
ments in years has been restoration
of the city's lakes to their natural
level by running water into them
from the mains. The lakes no longer
have the depressed air which marked
them the last couple of years but
give evidence that they. too, have
joined the new deal. Credit to the
waterworks department which cut red
tape and technicalities and supplied
the water
