R. Poole of Winnipeg Points Responsibility of Parents To Children Bismarck’s second annual Father and Son banquet under the direction of the Rotary club and supervision of J.. J. MacLeod, boy welfare worker, ‘was one of the most successful events ever held in the?Capital City. More than 400 ‘fathers and sons gat down to an evening of fun, song and inspir- ational addresses, D. R, Poole of Winnipeg, brought'a real message to Bismarck. i The work that “Mac” has been do- ing the last year was apparent in the line-up of boys and their interest in the banauet ‘and general manly, de- meanor. Those who have contributed to the work expressed themselves as gratified at the showing made among the youth of the city. After a song and cheer fest in the assembly, room of the High School} where boys who did not have their “Dads” with them picked out.an es- cort, the guests marched to the school gymnasium where the tables were all “set” with baked beans, biscuits, “hot! dogs,” pickles and trimmings. It was! no small task to feed so: many and keep pace with the ‘boy appetite for beans’ and weiners, but the various committees of Rotarians together with the assisting mothers covered themselves with glory. The feed was topped off with Esquimaux pies which won the universal endorsement of the; boys all of whom secured two while “Dad” had to be’ satisfied with one. Song Leaders Enthuse Crowd Hank Halverson and George Hum- phreys assisted by a! boy orchestra consisting of Masters Cayou, Hunter, McGray and Dalzer, made the com- muntty singing a success, Myron Atkinson assisted at the piano, There Was. a .regular..Rotary.‘punch”andjosio'» “go” about the affair. ‘ Judge Christianson, as toastmaster, ‘was in good form and following the invocation by Rev: H. C. Postle- thwaite gave a toast to “Our Country.” He emphasized the privileges enjoyed under American institutions and voiced the change that has come over national ideals and aspirations. “Our Daas” Charles Moses in responding to a! toast, “Our Dads,” stressed the re- spect due to parents and deplored the use of disrespectful names when re- ferring either to father or mother. He thanked the Rotary for an opportun- ity to join in the festivities and on) behalf of the boys of the city thanked the citizens generally whose generos- ity had made possible the welfare work among the youth of Bismarck. This toast was responded to by George E. Wallace who has won sev- eral honors as a “dad” himself. Mr. Wallace has been very active in the Boy Scout work of the city and his: son Bruce Wallace gave a toast at; the First Annual Father and Son banquet. Mr. Wallace outlined the} quiet and constructive work being done by the Boy Scouts. His advice to the “Dads” who have been letting the other fellow take care of his sons was timely and the scope of the Boy Scout work was excellently outlined.

P. Quain jn a speech full of; gound sense and humor responded. He! told of the necessity of a father play-| ing a great part in the girl's life. He! declared that a girl needed the protec- | tion and guidance. of a father equally | as much if not more than the son did.} His reference to the love and tender ministrations of a mother were espec- | jally fitting. Es b An excellent program was fittingly; concluded by an address by D. R., Poole of Winnipeg, director of boys’ work for Manitoba. | Fathers and sons who were fortun-| ate to be there had driven home to! them the responsibility that rests; ‘heavily upon both these factors of the home. ‘ i He began his address with outlining what the boy owes to father and of course that means the ‘obligation to mother also and the home itself. First of all he urged a partnership with father and mother to. the end that a better understanding be reached and the little problems settled har-| moniously which mean so much in boy development. In the second place he declared the boy owed cooperation to the home. The third duty to the-home was to bring sunshine into it by being hon- est in confidences with the parents. There wag no reason, he said, why youth and young manhood should wear a frown or harbor a grudge. A father’s responsibility to his son was interestingly shown and illustrat- |/ ed from a wealth of experiences in his own life. He declared there should exist a partnership of the fath- er with the boy. The father at all times, he said, should show an in- terest in the reading, play and re- ligious activities of the boy. One im- portant feature he urged was the re- (Continued on Page 3) jstressing the need for a high type of ‘character in the teachers employed if ‘through the various the McKenzie hotel. L. S.

Gronna heading, was a question on the lips of many people last night after Gronna’s amaz- ing announcement of his candidacy for United States Senator was read by many people. In his announce- ment the former senator made no mention of national issues, except a brief reference that he favored the government dipping into, experiments in_ business. He devoted ‘his announcement to an endorsement of tie ‘Nonpartisan league program, discussed freight liscriminations, mills and elevators ind the Bank of North Dakota, The query arose as to whether Gronna_ is a candidate for United 3tates Senator or for Governor with Nonpartisan league endorsement. His gnoring of national issues might be -xplained in that his announcement, nted first in the Courier-News, was niended to catch league support. Gronna has been boomed for sena- tor for many weeks as the “I. V, A. andidate” and ‘his action in making hig! announcement by the Courier- News is regarded as merely a bid fo! votes. His announcement created amaze- ment among many anti-leaguers who eard him speak in Bismarck on the sve of the Langer primary in 1920, n which he unmercifully flayed the Nonpartisan league leaders, called the league efforts socialism and devoted a large part of his address to how other countries had tried experiments in government similar to what he said Townley and his associates were seek ing to put in effect in North Dakota, and failed. \ During the Langer campaign Gron- na was fully as bitter toward the whole league idea as any other anti- league speaider. His complete re- versal in the announcement of his candidacy for senator cannot be un- derstood by many people or explained even in the light of political exped- iency. . The Courier-News, commenting ed)- ‘torially today onthe Gronna announce- ment, outlining Gronna’s campaign platform says: “What. is it, after all, but the original league program that the farmers ‘went out’ on and have pose: of becoming assocjated with his sister in the organization of a busi- ness college in Wilkinsburg, Pennsyl- vania. ‘been figating for the past eight years.” Early Greeks used large stones and READY 10 G0 INTO HOPPER Single Change Made From Form in Which it was Approved Last Week Washington, March 15.—With but a single change from the form in which it was approved last week by the ways and means majority the .com- mittee’s promised soldiers’ bonus bill} wag ready today for formal presenta- tion to the house. 1 Speaker Gillette before his depart- ure for Florida with President Hard-} ‘ing told Chairman Fordney not to de-| pend entirely upon a suspension of the rules as a means of getting the bonus; bill before the house. could ‘be taken up Tuesday or later} under a spexcial rule and added. thati he was not opposed to full and free! discussion on the floor. Indications today were that the com-! pleted bill would not be presented to} the house until tomorrow as the com-j mittee report will not be completed! and printed before. that time. ANTI-KU KLUX ORGANIZATION _| IN THE FIELD, Healdton, Okla.

Broker said he started to drink from the bottle and it broke, an- other man having told him he could get a-drink if he asked the driver of the car.. He said he didn’t know it was a government car. Broker’s attorney, William Langer, said Broker was one of the best citizens of Mandan, supported a family of 8 on $974 made last year in the N.

Simpson called the court's attentio: to the Eugene V.
