Many suggestions of merit were made and discussed at the regular meeting of the Women’s Community and Civic club Saturday afternoon, and it is only reasonable to expect that several of them will be.taken advantage of in the not far distant future. B For instance the providing of the schools with a physical culture director is essential to the health of our school children. With his coming the playground equipment should be materi- ally added to. Investigation shows that Bemidji’s school chil- dren are daily receiving. their fresh air periods, but are they benefiting to the fullest possible extent by them? Such a director would teach the correct use of athletics paraphernalia and play ground accidents would be unheard of. The matter of school room facilities is being cared for by the board of education and crowded conditions will be remedied just as rapidly as proper provisions canbe made. A plan which would surely be a success was suggested by Dr; Carol Aronvici when asked what steps might be taken to secure repairs and needed improvements on rented property. He recommended that landlords offer prizes to renters who best keep up their property, or that they discount the rent a certain percentage if the house and lot are made to look neat and clean at all times. The Saturday meeting amply demonstrated that the women are going to accomplish the purpose for which their club was organized. They have shown that there are many conditions in Bemidji which need improvement and they are going to asgist in every way possible to make them better. Bemidji is proud of its women and they will, and should, have hearty cooperation from the citizenship in general in their worthy en- deavors. —— ) ——— ARE WE TO BE SOLDIERS OR SLACKERS? When his “lost battalion” was cut off and surrounded by the boche, did Lt. Colonel Whitlesey stop to decide that he belonged to the same political party as his commander in chief before he uttered his immortal profanity—‘“Go to Hell”? What has politics or personal inclinationsg or even business to do with war or the paying of war’s bills? Speaking from the standpoint of our duty to America, what difference does it make whether our party is in power or out of it? What does it matter if we think things have been done in an unbusiness- like way. What is the odds if we believe some of our soldiers have been treated without proper consideration? These things should not have been and offenders should and will be brought to book. _ Nevertheless, the constituted government of the United States is our government. We are partners in it, and those whom we have chosen to lead must lead until wereplace them. In the meantime, and until our government has finished its| job and discharged its obligations, we are just as much subject to command by our superiors as the doughboy with one foot on the ladder that may bring him face to face with eternity. We are soldiers in the greatest civilian army of Christendom. We may be officers or privates, but we are either soldiers or slackers; and if we are not slackers we are bound to obey or- ders. April twenty-first is for us the “zero hour.” Our orders are to “go over’” on the last great loan drive at that time. Will we go smilingly and win the objective of permanent peace? For-| ward, patriots, for the Loan of Thanksgiving! O - NOW IS TIME TO BUY COAL -Now is the time to buy coal, says Fuel Administrator Gar- field, in a statement to the public, issued by the Fuel’ Admin- istration last Saturday. Facts and figures showing why are em- bodied in the statement which is of interest to every consumer of coal, as well as to producers desiring to place the situation before the trade in a forceful and authoritative manner. Fol- = (e m s oo THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER AT THE THEATERS GRAND TONIGHT. Terrible vengeance is wreaked by the scorned and outcast husband in “The King of Diamonds,” the Vita- graph Blue Ribbon feature, which will be seen in the Grand theatre to- night. Drugged until he appears like a leper. the husband wanders all over the world until he learns of the deception and is cured. Returning, unrecognized, and~%ith vast wealth, he finds his wife and the other man married. First he sweeps away their last dollar in a stock plot. Then he makes the man believe his wife is faithless. Their lives ruined, he throws off his disguise and, moved by a new love which impels him to forgiveness, he starts to make resti- tution, and just in-time. Both the objects of his old hatred were about to end their lives. Harry Morey is the husband and others in the cast are ‘Batty Blythe, Jean Paige and George Majeroni. “COME AGAIN SMITH.” Originality of plot and an 4ll round entertainment value are fea- tures of this production. J. Warren Kerrigan appears as the hero, Joe mith. His first appearance is as a hobo, picked up from‘a park bench by two philosophizing - clubmen. They take him home with them, give him a bath and attire him in a dress suit. From this on the play shows New York society as it is, and there' are many moments really amusing. | “Come Again Smith’ will be shown 31 the Grand Wednesday and Thurs- ay. o AT REX TODAY. Miss Betty 'Brice, the ' popular screen star, will shortly be seen at the Rex theatre today in the Oro pictures, Inc., first release entitled “Loyalty.” Miss Brice is a very de- lightful actress, and in her character- istic portrayal of the stage star who sacrifices everything for the man she loves, she Will no' doubt intrease her popuarity many times over. Nell Woodward -(Betty Brice) on the night of her success on the stage, marries Hugh Gordon (Jay Moreley, to spite his mother (Jean Hathal way,) who snubbed her. Randall (Murdock McQuarrie,) Miss Brice's theatrical manager, is infuriated at this and cancels her contract. Hugh who is an addict of the drug habit, shortly becomes a hopeless flend, while Nell is hardly able to eke out an existence for herself and her hus- band. Mrs. Gordon offers her five thousand dollars if she will leave the city, thereby believing that she will be able to reclaim her son. Nell ac- cepts the money and departs for the west, taking Hugh with her, and after a strenuous siege, she succeeds in helping him master this terrible malady, thereby regaining #is love. Betty Brice has never had a better part in all her career as an actress, and film fans would be doing a grave injustice to themselves if they missed seeing her in ‘“‘Loyalty.” HOW REALISM ACHIEVED. ‘“The Heart of Humanity,” the thrilling drama of love and war, di- rected by Allen Holubar, which soon will be shown to the world, is based on fact, woven into a woof of charm. ing fiction and executed with vibrant realism and a directorial genuls which has made the production worothy to stand on an equal basis with the Griffith overseas fllms. For instance, even the trenches shown in the “‘at the front’ scenes of the pictorial drama, were partly filled with water for the purposes of the film. The fluid was pumped from the Los Angeles river bed by a six- cylinder gas engine and three-inch centrifugal pump. Fourteen hun- dred feet of 3-inch pipe was used. To the end of the pipeline 1300 feet of fire hose was attached. With a pres- sure of 50 pounds to the square inch, the pump drew into the trenches 1,- 500,000 gallons of water. The ma- chine worked 24 hours a day as the soil at Universal City is principally loam and the water seeped back into underground channels quickly. This, but one of a thousand devices util- ized to give “The Heart of Human- lowing is the statement in full: “The best time to put in orders with the dealers for next winter’s supply of coal is now, when it is plentiful, and the demand for it is light. Analysis of coal production records gsince November 1 last, indicates that coal will be far from plentiful next winter, if production continues to fall. “Mild weather since November has eventuated in very little coal buying. Both large and small consumers have met their needs mostly from stocks laid in last summer and fall. The mines have had fewer orders than usual, and the sharp de- crease in demand has been accompanied by a decrease in pro- duction. ] “The output from the mines during the eightéen weeks from November 1, 1918, to March 8, 1919 (including both an- thracite and bituminous coal), in round figures was 62,000,000 tons less than during the next preceding eighteen weeks; and 31,000,000 tens less than during the corresponding period of the previous year, although severe storms curtailed production the previous year. “Normally, there is a considerable increase in demand for coal from year to year, that is, an increased consumption and a consequent increase in production.” 0 Northfield is one of the first Minnesota cities to provide a community building for its people. - For Quick Returns and Highest Cash Market Prices Ship Your HIDES, FURS, WOOL, SHEEP PELTS and BEE WAX and TALLOW To NORTHERN HIDE & FUR COMPANY 118 Belt Ave, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA ity the impress of military author- ity, was the conception of Director Holubar, executed by his electrical department.

DELIGHTFUL PICTURE. Marguerite Clark -the “sweetest girl in motion pictures,” was seen as a dainty, self-willed, democratic Bel- gian countess in her mew photoplay “‘Out of a Clear Sky,” with great suc- cess at the Elko theatre yesterday, and again appears at the Elko to- night. It must be conceded by even the most blaze patrons of the movies that “Out of a Clear Sky” is a pro- duction far above the average. The story i8 a charming one, the direc- tion and photography are of the highest class, and the various char- acterizations are in the hands of painstaking and talented players. From every point of view therefore, this delightful picture is commend- able. The “Big V” comedy, on the same program, is also an entertain- ing number. ETHEL CLAYTON TOMORROW. The problem of ‘“The Girl Who Came Back” which will be shown at the Elko theatre tomorrow and Thursday is a peculiarly potent one. This is the picture starring Ethel Clayton. It is from “Leah Klesch- na,” a play popular some years ago. Elliott Dexter is leading man for Miss Clayton while Theodore Roberts has an important role. The story is one of peculiar power filled with thrills and heart appeal. When ever you see a man in a seedy coat emtering a saloon no ex- planation {a- necessary. o Forest-Service Data, More than 335,000 plant specimens, representing 4.800 specles, have been collected in natlonal forests and. on | purchase areas by forest-service offi- cers in connection with the extensive | studies made of the distribution, nat- urai habits and economic importance of the range flora. The data obtained have direct application to many phases of range management, such as inten- sive range utillization, especially with a view to minimum interference with the requirements of the important for- age plants and the utilization of each type at the time and by the class of stock to which it is best adapted. Use of these data is also made in the detec- tion, eradication and fencing of poison- ous plant areas, in natural range re- seeding and other range studies, Goat Good Milk Producer. Mr. Winthrop Howland of Redlands, Cal., last year had a Swiss Toggenburg goat, kept on the University of Califor-’ nia farm, which broke the world’s rec- ord as a milk producer, by over 300 pounds. For the perfod of one year this doe produced 2,941 pounds of rich sweet milk, or more than 24 times her own welght. The period of ldctation for a good doe should be from seven to elght months, g A good start for a garden is often lost about the time that- the weeds appear. No matter how carefully the garden may be planted or how rich the soil or costly the geeds, fail- ure will surely follow if the proper cultivation and care .is not given during the growing-season.
