Down among the mountains of Tennessee, high on the Cumberland Table lands, lies the little town of Clifty. It is just a little mining town, peopled by a hardy, indus- trious set of people, but it is show- ing to the world how neighbors and friends may ‘‘dwell together in unity.” { We have said that it is a mining o ] town, but it is more; that the people are hardy and industrious, but they t are more; they have the true com- i munity spirit—they are real neigh- bors. This little town has conceived and put into force some community plans that might well be copied by other towns. Of course almost every fam- } ily in the town owns and cultivates { its own garden and ‘“‘truck’ patches, but this is not all. A few years ago the mine superintendent, a man of | considerable learning and of a pro- { gressive spirit, conceived the plan of having all the citizens of the town own and cultivate a small tract of land in common. Five or six acres were first bought and cultivated as a “community farm.” The result " was a pronounced success, and each year thereafter the town added to its holdings until this past season it had about one hundred acres under culti- vation on the “‘community’ plan, and the people announce their intention of branching out still further. Now there would be nothing out of the common in this if the experi- ment had not developed some grati- fying results. First, they discovered that instead of fifteen or twenty families (about the number interested in the '‘com- munity”) each having to own and maintain a team, three or four teams were amply sufficient. Again they discovered that instead of fifteen or twenty sets of agricul- tural implements being needed, only three or four of each kind were neces- sary, and of some, only one—a great saving all must admit. Each stock- holder bears his pro rata share of ex- pense and furnishes his pro rata amount of labor. Briefly, the plan has proven such a success that the community now has its own silo, blooded hogs and cattle, | and last year their exhibits led all others at their county fair. f But these are not all of the re- sults. The close business associa- tion necessary in the successful work- ing out of the plans has developed a spirit of community brotherhood that is a pleasure to witness. In this little town is exemplified a typ- fcal brotherhood of man. The wel- fare and comfort of the most humble is as carefully looked after as that - of the most wealthy. They have a splendid school, church, Sunday school, and recently a commodious club house has been erected that is proving a power for good to both young nten and older ones. a We have briefly sketched the re- sults of this community plan of co- operation as showing what a true community spirit will accomplish. Many features of interest have neces- sarily been omitted from this article from lack of space. But should any other community desire to know more of their workings, a letter addressed to the postmaster will receive prompt Y and courteous answer and full infor- mation will be given of plans that P can not fail to benefit any commu- / nity. SHOT, IMPROVING Arthur Niemeyer of Hines, the I fourteen-year-old lad who was shot ! Sunday, is reported improving. Otto Niemeyer, father of the boy, in giv- ing hio version of the accldent, said: “Arthur was standing on a log with some other hoys who were out hunt- ing with me. Just as I left the boys on the log I heard the report of a gun and returning saw my boy on the ground. He apparently tripped and struck the hammer of the gun on the log, discharging it."” Pin tickets, 1abels, string tags and red and gold seais ure things sold by the Ploneer store.

Griftith may find a subject to pro- duce that will mean infinitely more to all the people, that will be bigger and more elaborate and entail incon- ceivably more expense and difficulty, but, until such a time comes, if it ever doee, his “Birth of a Natlon" spectacle, covering as it does, the whole rupture between the two dis- tinct factions of a great country and what came out of it, to a glorious conclusion—will remain the high- water mark. It shows what can be done, it is true, and most people believe that what has been done can be done, yet Shakespeare, hundreds of years ago, proved what it was possible to do with the English language—and still he has not been surpassed or even approached to this day and like- ly never will be. In this glorious spectacle one is actually witnessing in a single sit- ting the condensed action of a life- time in the annals of our natfon. War, romance and sociology play immense parts — but the entire gauntlet of human emotions is play- ed upon as never were they before and it is doubtful if they ever will be again. “The Birth of a Nation” will be shown for the last time in Bemidji tonight at the Grand theater. BLANCHE SWEET AT THE GRAND THEATER In a worn blue sweater and a dil- apidated boy’s cap, Blanche Sweet, the beautiful Lasky star, will make her appearance at the Grand Sunday in the Jesse L. Lasky production of “The Ragamuffin,” which was writ- ten especially for her by Wm. C. De Mille, the distinguished American dramatist. That Miss Sweet is more charming than ever in this slum costume, goes without saying and her millions of friends who have seen her in eve- ning gowns and the latest fashions will be more than delighted with her as the cute little *“tough” in her forthcoming release.
