At the title character, “Little Mary” is called upon to portray one of the most unusual creatures ever - made the central figure of a film plot. The story contrasts in a remarkable graphic manner the customs and methods of yesterday with those of today, indicating the difference of their influence upon romance. As the staid, prim and unsophisticated little country girl, the reincarnation of our mothers’ grandmothers, and, subsequently, as the center of attrac- tion in the modern world of society, with all the luxuries, pomp and cere- monies of the elite of today, Mary Pickford achieves a double triumph of character depiction that will rank with the best of her inimitable crea- tions. v AT BEMIDJI weoNesoay, ooy 12 MAKE NO MISTAKE This is the ONLY Truly Great Show Coming to your City this year.

RUSSIAN PEOPLE FURNISH ARMY WITH SUITS (Continued from Page 1) is literal, speech. not merely a figure of Has Modest Start. The Zemstvo—pronounced “Zems- tervo”—came into being in 1864, or three years after the serfs were freed and the land divided. It began very modestly and developed slowly, mem- bers being elected from three classes: Peasants, the landed gentry and the urbanits owning shops, factories or other property. Originally a Zems- tvo composed of say 60 members, av- eraged about 20 peasants, 20 gentry and 20 town property owners, but in 1890 the gentry were given by law what by the very nature of things they had had from the start—a pre- ponderant voice. Russia is divided into 51 provin- ces, these into districts averaging about 10 districts to a province. At present 30 provinces and about 350 districts have Zemstvo organizations. . Meeting Annually. The district institution once a year send delegates to a 10-day provincial Zemstvo at- which the work of the past year is reviewed and the work for the coming year co-ordinated. Further, a provincial board.of four is named, these to devote their entire time to this work. The ordinary member of the Zemstvo receives no pay. The four board members are on salary as are the four members of a similar district board who do noth- ing else but supervise district work. The Zemstvo has but slight legisla- tive functions—Ilevying local taxes, ete.—and until the war its activities ‘were confined to four spheres: Work- ing the roads, supervising the schools, aiding farmers with advice and look- ing after the hospitals, the primary needs of country districts. Aid to Peasants. Restricted in scope, though the Zemstvo was, it was nevertheless the apprenticeship of the people. It fur- nished the peasants with their first means of participating in public work. Side by side with their former masters, these farmers, newly out of serfdom, elected their Zemstvo rep- resentatives and labored for the com- munity and for Russia. Snch was the Zemstvo at the be- ginning of the war. On Aug. 12, 1914, less than two weeks from the commencement of hostilities a general meeting of dele- gates elected by the provincial Zems- tvos was held in Moscow. It was then and there decided to form the All-Russia Zemstvo Union “for re- lief work among sick and wounded soldiers.” And every Zemstvo joined in save one, this solitary abstainer prefering to work independently. For Interior Work. “Here we are. Use us!” said the Zemstvo people to the government, and the government accepted. They were to be under the orders of the war department and available only for work in the interior. The limita- tion was put upon them, they did not specify for limitation. But the restriction did not hold. The army needed doctors, nurses, hospitals. The Zemstvo had been in the hospital business for 40 years and it went to the army’s aid upon the very field of battle and in the front line trenches. After this things moved rapidly. Hospitals in the interior were organ- ized. So were first aids, distrib- uting centers, bases. “Front Bri- gades” were formed for handling the wounded, sanitary trains equipped. During October and November, 1914, the-union sent the Serbian army 215,000 fur and other warm garments paid for by the Russian government but bought by the Zemstvo and han- dled by. them. Delivers Complete Suits. In October, 1914, General Shuva- yev, then head of the commissary, (now minister of war), asked the union to make underwear for his men. The union replied by deliver- ing to the army before the end of the month over 7,600,000 complete suits. And this was only a side or- der—the union did this without slacking up on any, of its other jobs. How was it done? It was very simple. The Zemstvo is a people’s organization. Peasants are in it. So the Zemstvo simply went to a lot of poor women it had known for a long time and said: . "“Make us these articles. them for the army.” And over night, almost, the articles were cut and sewed by Russian seam- stresses. ‘We want Another order, similarly executed, was for wearing apparel to the tune i - TONIGHT—GRANP THEATRE—TONIGHT MARY PICKFORD e , “R Girl of Yesterday” - * A Paramount Picture. ; Shows at 7:80-8:45 5cand16c -~ - Children alone 10c. of seventeen million pieces. Rus- sian co-operative societis in a large measure filled these orders, societies embracing at least half the popula- tion of Russia. And Russia numbers 170,000,000 souls. So you see quite a small crowd is working for the country. Control of Melon Louse. The melon or cucumber louse, which causes the leavegs of cucumber and melon vines to curl and die, can be controlled by the use of one of two ef- fective sprays, according to George A. Dean, professor of entomology in the Kansas Agricultural college. “As soon as the lice are discovered they 'should be thoroughly sprayed with either ‘black leaf 40’ spray or a strong soapy spray,” says Professor Dean. “The black leaf 40 spray is pre- pared by dissolving-three-fourths of a pint of black leaf 40 and four pounds of common laundry soap in 100 gallons of water. The soapy spray is prepar- ed by dissolving one pound of common laundry soap in six gallons of soft wa- ter. “In applying either of these sprays the esseqfial thing is to apply in such a manner as to actually strike or wet every insect. The liquid must be ap- plied by the use of a spraying appara- tus, and when there are several plants the common knapsack sprayer is best. The extension rod furnished with these sprayers should be replaced by one long enough to reach from the hand to the ground without stooping and equip- ped with an upturned nozzle.” Farming as a Business. The principles which underlie profit- able farming - are not unlike those which underlie the profitable conduct of any other business. The difference is merely in the application. The one fundamental principle underlying all successful business undertakings is that the cost must be less than the selling price. In the operation of this principle agriculture is no exception. Farming, howei'er, is such a complex business, and the different enterprises making up the farm unit are so in- tricately related that it is often well nigh impossible to determine the true cost or the true selling price of a farm product. However, the relation of any factor in farming to the profits of the farm as a whole by the study of a large group of farms can be fairly accurately determined. This relation of the individual enterprise to the profits of the whole is perhaps the best guide to successful farming and to an understanding of the principles upon which good farm organization is based. —J. 8. Cates in New Year Book of De- partment of Agriculture. For Treating Smuts. The immersion method is practical where the farmer wishes to treat seed grains. very ‘convenient outfit for carrying out the immersion method is as follows: Two wooden tubs or a large barrel cut in two are secured. A hole is bored in the side toward the bottom of the tub, and plugs are pro- vided for these openings. Pleces of screen are tacked on the inside of the tub over these openings, so that the grain cannot pass out.” Then one tub is placed above the other, as shown. The upper tub is filled about two-thirds full with a formaldehyde solution (one pint formaledhyde to forty-five gallons of water), the seed to be treated pour- ed in and stirred. This causes the chaff, smut balls and light kernels to float, and the refuse is then skimmed off. After the seed has soaked in this solution for ten or fifteen minutes the plug may be removed and the solution allowed to drain into the tub below. The grain should then be spread out and dried, taking the necessary pre- cautions to prevent contamination. The position of the tubs may then be re- versed and the process repeated, using another lot of seed. Care of Lawn Mowers. Lawn mowers are not benefited by leaving them out exposed to the wea! er. They are made to cut smoot! even surfaces of grass and are not i tended for cutting sticks, stones or hillocks or for filling up holes. Manu- facturers are frequently blamed for the operator’s abuse of the machine. DEPUTY SHERIFF TO VALLEY CITY, N. D. George Denley, deputy sheriff, left Monday for Valley City, N.
