STANTON Editor THROUGH PERIL FOR HER. Knowing that an American girl was being held for ransom by some Mexican bandits, and “having evi- dence that led him.to believe that girl was his financee, who had brok- en their engagement because she be- lieved him a coward and a traitor to his country, young Robert Carr, of Virginia, crossed 'the border and wandered through Mexico pretending to be a deaf-mute. Many efforts were made to trick him. To tell whether he succeeded in rescuing the girl, who, by the way, is Millicent Fisher, a very lovely new leading lady, would’ be spoiling the thrilling climax of “Fighting Through,” one of the best pictures to be shown at the Grand theatre to- night and tomorrow.

I duty, but as a means of providing additiovnal employment for returning soldiers and for artisans released from war produc- tion activities. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor has caused to be sent out from Washington all over the country, large placards advocating immediate home-building. ‘‘During the war it was patriotic not to build, now we can best show our patriotism by building,” reads one of these placards. Another reads, “Own A Home for Your Children’s Sake,” and a, third says,"“Construction adds to the wealth of the country—build now. There are others just as urgent. Last but by far not least in the influence tending to stimulate home-building throughout this country are the nation wide publicity campaigns being con- ducted by . manufacturers of, and dealers in, building materials who are pointing out to the public the advisability and economy | in building homes now. One association of manufacturers --alone, the Southern Pine Association; is expending more than $20,000.00 a month in telling the people of the country of the prospective great demand for American lumber and pointing out the fact that the price of lumber today is far less, by com- parison, than that of other important commodities. Manufac- turers of paints, makers of patented building materials and other associated interests are conducting similar campaigns. Undoubtedly the foremost factor in American home-build- ing activity, however, is an intensified sentiment regarding home ownership. The people of this country never realized to such a degree what the home meant; certainly American sol- diers who went to the battle fronts of Europe and saw the thousands of homes destroyed and the hundreds of thousands of homeless people, are coming home with a new and more vivid appreciation of the comfort, contentment and happiness that is found only in the home. The hardships of war have quickened their consciousness of the attractions of a real home, and they are coming back hungry for “all the comforts of home”—not for the cheerless hospitality of a boarding house gr the cramped and artificial environment of ‘the apartment ouse. O Remember, Clean-Up week starts Saturday. If our city is to be. a healthful place to live in we must clear our attics, cellars, sheds, yards, alleys, streets and vacant lots, and get rid of the accumulation of trash, dirt, junk, filth, garbage, rags, cans, bottles and weeds. We must burn rubbish and make use of soap and scrub brushes, brooms, rakes and shovels. It is & big job, but it can be easily finished if all will do their part. And 'when it is once done, let’s do the best we can to keep Bemidji neat and clean. ——0 Well may the farmers’ clubs of Beltrami county give con- ] sideration to the proposition of establishing a ‘“Community Market” in Bemidji. It can truly be said that such a market is a wholesale clearing house for the surplus farm products of the community in which it is located. Two of the stores are being operated successfully. The Bemidji Township Farmers’ club has endorsed the plan, and the others of our county should take the matter under consideration. — e Here’s hoping that Jack Dempsey delivers one of his famous knockout punches to the jaw of Jess Willard early in their July Fourth encounter. Willard is a sad example as the pugilistic champion of the world while Dempsey’s spectacular gsttia ability is rapidly making him £ favorite in the approaching attle. Y — It is going to be rather embarrassing for a few of our citi- zens to explain to a number of returned soldiers, who because of their wounds will never be able to forget the war, why they did not subscribe for Victory Notes. Every man or woman who is able, and yet fails to subscribe for a Victory Loan note, is far from being a patriot. ’ —0 The Democrats are doing the best they can to oust Burle- son before he wrecks the party and before hé completes the wrecking of the postal, telegraph and telephone service. But, they are too late. On the steamer’ she meets and falls in love with Challis Wrandall, a wealthy young American, who is a rake, a lbertine and ‘has a wife in New York .Hetty knows nothing about all this.

ONE OF HIS BEST. ) George Barr -McCutcheon, author of ‘“The Mystery Girl” Ethel Clay- ton’s new Paramount picture which is to be shown in the Elko theatre tonight and temorrow, is one of the most popular of American® writers. His long list of romantic novels and !a host of eager readers throughout the world, and among them ‘‘Green Fancy,” from which “The Mystery Girl” was taken, is one of the best known. It is one of Mr. McCutch- eon's most ¢harming romances. The story was adapted for the screen by Marion Fairfax and directed by Wil- liam C. De Mille. “LIFE'S GREATEST PROBLEM.” The most important announcement of the theatrical season.is that the Rex theatre will show for two .days J. Stuart Blackton’s massive super- lem,” written by that past master of stage and screen craft, Anthony Paul Kelly, and featuring Mitchell Lewis. The announcement of this extra- ordinary engagement, which begins Thursday is another evidence that Manager Brinkman appreciates the fact that the good people of Bemidji are -extremely discriminating as to the class of entertainment they like, and that it is his desire to give them the very best money and brains-can produce. “Life’s Greatest Problem’ is one of few truly big productions of tie day, and it would not take a phophet to forecast tXat it will prove a tremend- ous attraction during its run here. UNIQUE PHOTOPLAY. Striking and unusual is “The Hand Invjsible,’ the new World picture starring Montague Love which is scheduled for showing on Friday at the Elko theatre. The plot of' the play is unique and its presentation is gripping, interesting, entertaining. Supporting Mr. Love is an exception- al company of film favorites who are cast in roles in which their abilities are seen to the best possible advant- age. From all angles this is a mighty good picture. l | salad, sardines, coleslaw and other rel- ishes, served as a preliminary to the conventional French dinner, disappear so rapidly that it has been necessary to employ many additional cooks to prepare delicacies of this sort. Amer- icans help themselves so freely to this initial course that they frequently have little appetite for the soup, fish an other dishes which follow. i As the hotel kitchen can draw on army supplies for its.food, the Amer- fcans’ have many delicacies not avail- able generally in Paris cafes. Ices, ice cream and pastry made with real sugar are offered to the peace delegation. In most Parls hotels and cafes saccharine 1s used for such purposes, and even for sweetening coffee. The hotel where. the ‘Americans stay also has an abundance of white flour and gennine white bread. Elsewhere in Paris the bread is dark, and even pastry, when available, (s wade from brown flour.
