Graham, more commonly known as “Fritz.” He was educated there and completed his high school course in 1915, having made a record: for himself in both football and basket ball. He was married to Miss Medora Rice ‘of Tenstrike while she was still in high school. “After he graduated he went to work for the M. & I. railroad as clerk, and he remained with them until July, 1918, when he received and accepted the offer of a better ition at the Bel- trami Elevator Company, as bookkeeper. In“Beptember of the same year the Northern Pine Crating Company: of Cass Lake was fortunate in securing his services as their production manager, where he stayed until June 20 of this year. . He is now at the Bemidji plant. “While at Cass Lake he played on their city team which beat some of the best teams in the state. He is a great favorite both there and at Bemidji. A mighty fine fellow!’ — Qe OUR DAY OF THANKS. Commemorating the day of thanks is a national trait of the American pepole. It is never forgotten, and it is never indifferently observed. No matter how humble or obscure a person may be, there is always something for which thanks may be gievn. The president has designated Thursday, November 27, as Thanksgiving Day, and has exhorted the people to render - grateful homage to the source from which all blessings flow. The Divine Being bestows His blessings in many ways, and in various degrees, but always as He in His infinite wisdom deems best. We may marvel, but it is not for us to question. . Although our country is torn with dissentions, and rumbl- ings are everywhere, we yet have much for which to give thanks. . Our men have returned from the fields of war, undaunted . in spirit, unchecked in'the march of ‘victory. Some have not returned, but the mark of a hero is above every grave. o ! Oux figlds have yielded bounteous harvests and our fac- i tories hav_e‘gi‘ven generously of their products. 7 i % m;i}x;mum and the-de Sickness has been at the been small. Tt With the world in a turmoil, even a small measure of tranquility, as a beacon light of the future. : Let us give thanks for the blessings we have enjoyed, with " the pope that when another Thanksgiving arrives with the cycle of time peace may abide with us all, i R § D — SOUTH DAKOTA TEACHERS PLANNING UNION. .

Morey, in the role of Frank Pow- 11, a wealthy manufacturer, con- 'onts a rascally social parasite with the accusation of his evil. The hero i8 compelled out of chivalry to attack the scoundrel, and floor him midst the assembled guests. v * This unusually dramatic oceur- ence leads to a gradually intensified romance of mystery and tragedy and love. There is a remarkable climax. “In Honor's Web,” is reported in eastern dramatic reviews to be one of the strongest pictures of the year. GRAPHICALLY DEPICTED.. . ... “HIS BRIDAL NIGHT.” !

Hardly ‘were reassured when Mr. Calvin Coxe - appes .on :the stage and commenced to_talk abput “re-creations.” It finally- became ap- parent .that the phonograph ‘wa#: at least to receive assistance fromthe singér but.even then the mentalout- look was: not exdctly bright. s Mr. Coxe explained that the- pose of the recital was to illustrate that Thomas A. Edison, after years of work had -achieved his-ideal: of perfecting’a niusical instrament whjch | would “gctually - re-¢reaté, music' so that theire-creation would be indis- tinguishable from the ‘original. This was .a broad claim but it was established before the evenitig ‘was over for the artists actually stoéd be- side the New Edison phonograph ‘and performed in-‘unison with Mr, Edi- son’s re-creation—so called—of their performance. Thig would have proved little as the artists might easily. have overbalanced the' tone of the instruy ment—swallowed it up—so to speak; but they did more—or, to be accur- ate, less. They paused from time to||| time, apparently at random .and per- mitted their re-created peyfiuncgs to be heard alone. This gave an op- portunity to compare one:iwith the other and it is no more than just to state that there was no discernable difference in one quality. i There m ve been a slight dif- ference in volume m tgxo artists singing or i ut it was notm):gticetble 'torp the one wh.ch came from the cabinet was round and} luscious with all of the vibrant, pul-| sating quality of that which'came di- rectly from: Miss Ellerman’s throat and’ the instruments of the Fleming Sisters Trio. “ It was only by, watch- ing the 'singer’s’ lips or' the' violin- Carry aBit - .
