"The Covered Wagon," book and play, deal with the real conquest of the trall by the great prairie schoon- er Trek of North America history, an incursion into unknown lands fully comparable to the Aryan migration into Europe or the Goth and Saxon conquests of the western half of the wide Roman realm. It was the custom tp start at a number of Missouri River points and converge at Grand Island, where after crossing the Platte, the united caravan journeyed northwestward. Some started from Council Bluffs, j others from St. Joseph, but the par- ticular band with which the story posing the toast "To the memory of the members of this society who died on active service," Col. Alexander Macphail impressed his hearers with the necessity of remembering those who had died that --e might live. The toast to "The Faculty and the University" was ably proposed hy C. Allen, and responded to by Prin- cipal R. Bruce Taylor, who explainea the absorbing topic of health insur- ance, adding with his usual wh "that the trustees were not trying to do the students in the eye." J. A.

The chief dangers of the plains were Indian attack or the Indian set- ting of prairie fires, menacing the whole caravan and its possessions. These were safely avoided or con- quered, and the swollen riyers were crossed without loss of life. Further on, as the trail proceeded into the more desert regions and into the sterile Rockies, Intolerable clima- tic conditions, privations and suffer- ings, especially starvation and thirst, offered terrible obstacles. The trail looped along and into the northern edge of Utah. Here came word borne of Kit Carson, scout, that gold particles had been tral California. Half the expedition fell away and bore due west, Jured by the bright hope of gold. "The Covered Wagon' symphony orchestra will play at each perform- ance. 'THE UNWANTED CHILD."

The story of "Long Live the King" is a familiar one to readers of American books. It is a screen ver- sion of the famous novel of the same name written several years ago by Mary Roberts Rinehart and which attained a tremendous sale. It hinges around the romantic ad- ventures of the little Crown Prince of Lavonia--a country threatened at every turn by revolution and anar- chy. It fs a highly exciting romance and the producers have not only lost none of the fascination of the novel, ; but have added to its delight by giv- beautiful pre- A DESERTED VILLAGE. Is Explained as a Scotch Village on A Tag Day. Renfrew, Feb. 8.--At the annual congregational meeting of St. An- drew's church last night the sugges- tion was offered that a "drive" be made for the raising of funds to wipe out a few thousand dollars of debt on the church. Rev. Mr. Rol- lins, the new minister, expressed the hope that if this were done the town would not resemble a deserted village. He had, he said, learned a "| tew days ago what a deserted vil- lage was. It was a Scottish village on tag day. Want Farmer Released.
