Dean dagger plays the other man in the case and Cora Witerspoon, talented comedienne of Broadway stage fame, appears as the startled stage brother of Miss Sothern. Marta Shelton, recently discovered beauty of the vampire" type, recalls The da Bara at her best.

Prices For Wool Pool
Not Set At Tuesday
Nights Meet

Owing to unsatisfactory prices
the Sank Centre Wool Growers As
ISOLATION decided not to sell its
pool at the meeting held Tuesday
evening. Another wool pool sale will
be held Monday evening, June 18th,
at the Community Club rooms at
eight o'clock. Hence, it was neces-
sary to defer delivery dates for one
week, which now will be held on
Monday and Tuesday, June 20-N.
Because OF the very low prices
in the wool market today, bidders
were unable to offer prices. How
ever, they said that in another week
they would be able to present prices
to the association, as they believed
the market prices will be set at that
time.
Wool growers present at Tues
days meeting decided they would
not sell the pool until the associa-
ton has an offer Of zoe per pound
or more. The association sincere
ly hopes that wool growers will not
be in a hurry to sell their wool for
less than this price, as the officers
are confident that they will receive
a reasonable price. All wool grow
ers are asked to hold their wool
until after Monday, June Is, when
the price for the pool will be deter
mined.
The Sank Centre pool averages
about 10000 pounds each year.

Presented Diplomas
To SO Graduates

There is a new frontier for every
generation" said Edward +. Flynn,
of 8: Paul, Assistant to the Cen
eral Counsel, Great Northern Rail-
way Company, and who is ser> ing
his sixth consecutive term as Presi-
dent Of the Dads Association Of
the University Of Minnesota, In ad-
dressing the graduating class Of
Sank Centre High School last
Thursday evening. His topic,
Shores Of Opportunity" was pre-
scented in his own typical fashion,
and 1t held out hope instead Of des-
pair to the sixty-nine members Of
the class.
Mr.. Flynn said he realized that
just at present 1t is very difficult
for young men or women leaving
high schools and colleges to obtain
good positions, even though year
ago graduates Of certain depart
ments Of our best colleges were all
able to obtain positions. "Such
conditions are bound to exist again
in the near future" Mr.. Flynn said,
because in this country we have
had twenty-five depressions, and
have emerged from all Of them but
the present one, and undoubtedly
within very short time prosper
ity will return again."
Mr.. Flynn urged the young men
and women graduating not to be-
come discouraged but to prepare
themselves for the time when their
services are bound to be needed.
Historians tell us frontiers van
ished about 1890, yet we all know
our greatest eras Of prosperity have
occurred since that time. To those
young men and women who feel
that romance and adventure have
passed with the Indian and the free
homestead let us say there Is today
more romance and adventure in
chemistry, biology, physics, engin-
eering, the sciences, medicine, and
governmental administration than
ever before existed" he said.
In all Of the above mentioned
fields he showed opportunities for
success to the graduates If they are
able to seek out the new frontiers.
He held his audience throughout
his address, and his humor and rap
id-fire talk was a revelation to the
audience. In closing, he continued
as follows:
who better than the young men
and women just out Of the coun-
try's high schools and colleges, can
provide for us the wonders science
and intelligence and work and in
dustry are bound to supply within
the next few years?
