She is 20 and wasi born in Philadelphia. her father be- ing of English descent and her moth- er an Austrian, Perhaps that com- bination is what gives her the bril- liant coloring and red-gold hair which is one of her attractions, Mr. Miller selected her for the role of “Judy” after seeing her in a stock company in her home city. Miss Car- son was educated at the state normal school at Trenton, ‘N. J., and did a lot wowceond rm il i l of acting while at college. Contrary to general custom, her father and mother encouraged her to seek for a place on the stage and she secured a position with the Orpheum stock com- pany at Philadelphia. Then she had a better chance with William A, Bra- dy’s “Value Received” company, and later with important stock organiza- tions in Ottawa, Canada, and Toledo, O., in which she gained much exper. encei Later she was with “White Heather.” Henry Miller selected her after considering over 100 applicants for the role of “Judy.” Last season Miss Carson won many friends in “Daddy Long-Legs” and her return in the part is a matter of congratula- tion to play-goers.

The whole world is now looking to this state for a large portion of its bread for the ensuing year. Anything that contributes directly or indirectly to the harvesting of the Jargest..wheat- crop)in.the :history of our state is of prime importance. The barberry bush threatens that wheat crop. ‘The destruction of the baxper- ry bush is one important way in which we can assist. our armies and those of our allies. be : North Dakota farms in 1915 pro- duced 150;000,000 bushels of wheat; in 1916 the fields yielded’ but 39,000,- 000, a fallng off of 111,000,000, due primarily to the barberry bush. Jt is commonly known to the farm- ers of North Dakota that the princi- pal cause of this disastrous falling off in the state's wheat yield was the destruction wrought by black rust during the last three weeks of the growing season, immediately preced- ing harvest. A crop that during the [early weeks of its growth had given promise of a bumper yield was sud- denly stricken down, as by the blast of a hot furnace, and a loss conserv- atively estimated at $100,000,000 in- flicted upon ‘North Dakota wheat growers. The barberry bush can be identified principally by the distinctive manner in which its thorns grow. There are generally three in number and never less than three. They grow from a common base; two of them straight out from the base point, base to base and almost in a straight line; the third at almost aright, angle from the other two. “Wher ‘ihore three in number it 48 wipre difficult to identify. Color of stem is nearly gray. The leaves aré\ thin in texture and greenish to purplish in color. (Destroy the Barberry Bush.

MINOT PROMISES TO 00 ITS SHARE IN LIBERTY LOAN Minot, N. D., May 17.—That the people of northwest North Dakota would do their share in subscribing for the liberty loan bonds was ¢' ly demonstrated by the enthusiasm ; trict, meeting in the Association of | Commerce duilding this afternoou with the committee in charge of the disposal of bonds in this state, ap- proved the committce’s plan by which the banks of the state will accept. bonds to the extent of one-tenth of | their surplus and capital. Every | county in this end of the state was represented at the meeting, which was. marked by patriotism and a pro- nounced desire by financiers to co operate with the government in solv- ing the great financial problem. L. B. Hanna, chairman of the state committee, outlined the plan of the treasury department and explained the bond issue. He expressed cou- dence in North Dakota and felt as- sured the allotment of this state would be oversubscribed. Tracy Bangs, Grand Forks, delivered an elo- quent address. All members of the state commi tee were present except T. lL. Beisek- er, whose place was taken by W. C. ‘Macfadden, Fargo, secretary of the State Bankers’ association. Banker» announced a willingness to lend money on easy terms to people desir- ous of securing bonds. R. E. Barron, in charge of the campaign in Ward county, stated his county would sub- seribe about $125,000. Mr. Hanna stated after the mecting that he was highly pleased with the spirit of the bankers of this district and felt confident all would do their i to! share in disposing of the bonds. The members of the committee left for ‘Bismarck, where a similar mect- ing will be held this evening. LOST. | CAMEO PIN, BETWEEN | AND 8TH STREETS ON AVE. A OR B.
