S. Harding, manager of the Grand theater, gets out & small pamphlet called “Feature Film Facts,” devoted to motion picture [to serve gossip and facts and fancies about his theater, and, like a veteran, Editor Harding has an editorial column in his paper. Under the above caption he says in this week’s issue. . Did you ever attend a performance and not be able to hear a word of what the performer was saying because one of your neigh- bors persisted in voicing his or her opinion of things in general, in a loud tone of voice? Provoking, isn’t it, and it practically spoils the performance for you. The same condition applies in a moving picture theater. Just a few days ago we were the recepients of the very common criticism: “Well, the show was splendid and I would have en- Joyed 1t except for the person behind me who had read the book and told the whole story, keeping about two jumps ahead of the picture all the time.” If one group of people started to TELL a story, and another having read the story before, immediately butted in about two jumps ahead, and finished the story first, it would be said that the “butter-in” was very ill-mannered. Why not the same when a moving story (picture) is being told? Most of the talking out loud during the picture is thought- lessness. Consider your neighbor, and if you have any comments to make, speak low or, better yet, whisper. To all of which we reverently subscribe—Amen! CONCERNING A NEW CITY HALL For some time there has been some brief mention in general concern- ing the possibility of Bemidji having a new city hall and in this conmnec- tion one of the most prominent business men of the city says: “I believe the time for a new city hall is not quite ripe. What I be- lieve would be the wise thing to do would be to tear out the ‘stage in the hall in the city building, thus adding much space to the hall, which would be ample for all conventions and large gatherings, put on a steel ceiling and redecorate the interior of the hall. The city building should be re- painted and overhauled and put in proper condition. If this were done, in my opinion, Bemidji would have an attractive city building and ome ample for the city’s needs and at the same time have a convention hall suit- able for all occasions such as a hall of that nature should be. The cost would be nothing compared with the expense of erecting a mnew city building.” WHAT A “CALL” REALLY IS The call is an inquisitive move made by poker players and society women when they want to see what the other person’s got. In either case, it is fatal if the other has nothing. The call is of infinite variety and many kinds. There is, for instance, the call: Of the Wili— Of the unutterable bore— Of the loan you can’t pay— Of the neighborhood tomcats at midnight— Of the bill ‘col- lector— Of the boss when you're late. “Call” is the preacher’s way of describing an offer of a better job at more pay. But that’s no call. That’s a raise. We ought to have a central market where the farmer can dispose of everything he produces for cash. And then the market managers should devise some means of disposing of the produce without the aid of a hungry horde of middlemen. The farmer would make more money, have less trouble, get his pay sooner, and the profits would be kept in-circulation at home. Try it! And just as we were getting nice and comfortable and so we could breathe normally again we happened to get into a bunch where a young lady was wearing one of those open-faced blouses, and of course Wwe couldn’t keep looking at the ceiling ALL the time. If every man in this town would spend half an hour a week in clean- ing up the rubbish and accumulations we would soon have a clean town, a better community, a happier set of people and a lower death rate? Is it worth thirty minutes a week? ' ‘Well, the new ice rink was formally opened last night and we watched the skaters a long time. And from some observations we deduced that Lake Bemidji has a bumper crop of ice. The cities are teeming with strong, husky men who are just aching for an opportunity for honest work on the farm. How many do you want? Tom Lawson is urging congress to investigate the New York stock exchange. But not a word about investigating Tom. In the event of a shortage in gold we might use eggs as a circulating medium. But then there’s counterfeit eggs, same as money. Have to wring some of their necks, too. Everything’s nice and quiet, thank you. And we're mighty glad that it is. We don’t enjoy arguing— ‘With a corpse. C---rup! INTERNATIONAL LAW. Held by Authorities to Be Part of the National Jurisprudence The declaration that international law is at one and the same time both national and international has far- reaching nnd very practical signifi- cance for the work of building a new international order. The courts of Great Britain, begin- ning with Lord Chancellor Talbot in 1733 and including Lord Chief Justice Mansfield in 1764, have held that the law of nations is part of the common law of England. Sir William Black- stone supported this doctrine in bis classic Commentaries. This doctrine holds good as well in the United States as in Great Britain, a fact to which both Thomas Jefferson and Alesander Hamilton bore convincing testimony, In the lifetime of the present g ation the United States supre has held that international L» tain and administer it in casex v there is no treaty and mno cout executive or legislative act or decision, resort must be had to ¢ toms and usages of civilized nations.

I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia, I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was freely given.
