The original Independence day, of course, can- not be paralleled, and the Fourth of July, 1865; is memorable because the great test than finished decreed once and for- all that there should be only one Independence day from the Great hér for ransom.

Yet even faith and feverish patriotism could not wholly dispel un- certainty as to the ultimate issue of the conflict. A year ago the nation’s wealth of men and munitions was mobilized, but nerves ‘were taut with anxiety as the German hordes pressed nearer and nearer Paris, and there was little intimation of the counter- thrust that two weeks later, to a day, saw men of our own Yan- kee division hurling back the invaders in a decisive blow at Chateau Thierry. This year. the peace treaties will have been signed, and the heroic boys who pressed hard to a triumphal conclusion the ad- vantages gained just a year ago and others who stood ready to step into the trenchés when their turn came, are home again. What Bemidji boys did, the city can never forget, nor too great- ly honor. Bemidji welcomes the plans for this year’s celebra-| tion and luncheon to the fighters upon an unprecedented scale.

TO BE DIFFERENT. Dorothy Gish as that odd bit of humanity, “The Little Disturber’” in “Hearts of the World,” and as the plucky little ‘“Battling Jane,” won more admirers in shorter time than perhaps any other artist before the camera. To be different from any one else in the world and still to be liked by every one who knows her, is the desire of Dorothy Gish, who will be seen in a picturization of Mark Lee Luther’s book, “The Hope Chest,” .at the Elko theatre tonight and tomorrow, matinee and evening. Miss Gish has created every part of importance she has ever played. She finds things to do that are’orlginal, funny, and highly entertaining. Her every action is something that has never been seen on any screen at any time, and she has a new way of do- ing everything that is done on the stage. erine are sent from one place to an- other by parcel post.

Los Angeles.—It was-a wild night oft Point Firmin. A gale was blowing and the edges of the huge combers which were roll- Ing into the rocky shore were being torn to shreds by the wind and driven in fine spray against the embattled clifts. . Suddenly, as the gale dled down for a moment, the shrill voice of a wom- an apparently battling for her life in the seething surf, plerced the air. Another woman in a cozy cottage on the cliffs above heard it and sent in a hurry call to the harbor' (San Pe- dro) police for rescuers. A dozen men armed with ropes and life buoys rushed to the scene In an automobile. Directed to the spot they hurried down the cluffs to the edge of the foaming sea. Again a cry—then more crles rang out. / . What they. saw was— & A half dozen sea lions each having the time of its life, barking and ca- vorting about on the rocks. “I'll be——,” said one policeman, while the others laughed.

Ann Little, charming heroine of many Paramount films in support of Wallace Reid, is again his leading woman in “The Man From Funeral Range,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre next Wednesday and Thursday.
