Boston educator, was brought to the state for another number on the course and a third mumber was sup- plied by Miss Florence Hedstrom, a North Dakota giyl who has been sing- ing on .the Chautauqua circuits for some years, and Miss Maude Knight of Fargo, who gave readings. The 1916-1917 season was more suc- cessful than the first year. In all 120 engagements were filled. Most of them were in the country, at the consolidat- ed school houses, but numbers were also given im churches, poolhalls, barns and once in a chicken feed house. It was a harder winter than the previous one had been and a few of the dates had to be cancelled on ac- count of peculiarly inclement weather. Hollis started taking a storage battery with him to operate the motion picture machine. On one of his long drives through the country, with the ther- mometer close to 40 below, the battery froze. He had to set it on a stove when he arrived at the schoolhouse and thaw it out before the show could start. On the next jump the battery was lost, so after that Hollis gave up the attempt to take a battery with him. He would write ahead and make ar- rangements to take a battery out of one of the automobiles that would bring spectators to the lecture. This is a perfectly practicable way of work- ing a motion picture machine in the country now, thanks to the work done by Corbett of the Agricultural college in perfecting Edison’s invention. The only requisite is that the battery be freshly charged. NOW RURAL SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR OWN “SHOWS"” Hollis returned from his lyceum course engagements this year to find that the country, given a sample, had developed a real appetite for the movies and other entertainments. A dozen or so communities, including schools and commercial clubs, have motion picture machines, and many more communities have lanterns. So Hollis has organized a slide and film bureau to help the schools to give their own entertainments. It is a small bureau as yet. It has about a dozen films, most of which are educational in nature and were secured without cost, some from the government and some from manufacturers like the In- ternational Harvester company. The bureau also has about 20 sets of lantern slides. Besides the films owned by the bureau, however, Hollis is act- ing as agent and is securing films from manufacturers when requested by any of his patrons, charging no profit on the transaction. Altogether, the new venture has proved successful and promises better things for the fu- ture. Now Hollis is taking another step. He has written a series of letters to school superintendewrts and directors of consolidated schools, asking how many of them want to get motion picture machines of their own, and offering to help them all he can. The response to these letters-is widespread. Nearly all want a movie show of their own, it would seem. Hollis has promised to help them and he will. He hasn’t de- cided upon a definite plan yet. It is a hard problem, but no harder than the problem of getting the consolidated schools, the problem of arranging a rural @ceum course, or the problem of putting on motion pictures where no electricity was available. Hollis solved these other problems, and he is confi- dent he will be able to solve the new one. Then, with each school house owning its own machine, securing films and slides from the central bureau at the college, and with occa- sional outside talent on the rural ly- ceum course, the long winter nights will “be quite different matters from what they are now. Then the movies will have moved out into the country for good. LONG FOR GOOD FIGHTERS ‘Would to God that Minnesota had some Nonpartisan League officers to clean up not only the vice gambling, but the gambling in food stuffs. But we will have them after 1918 in spite of the fight being waged against the League by big and little gamblers. —MONTEVIDEO, MINN,, AMERI- CAN. JUST A CHEAP TRICK The Farmers’ Nonpartisan League organization in Minnesota is already meeting with cunning opposition. An- other organization has been incorpor- ated in the state with that name and is soliciting members at a fee of only $6.00. The promoters of the new or- ganization disclaim any such inten- tion, but it bears the ear-marks of a cheap trick to confuse the farmers and enrich the promoters. The organ- izers of the true Nonpartisan League are no amateurs at the political game, however, and will find a way to pro- tect their organization.—~WILLMAR (MINN.) TRIBUNE.
