It seems to be the popu- lar thing just now to say that President Wilson has betrayed us to the sinister politicians of the allies. It shows that we have rather short memories. So far from; inveigling us into a compact with themselves, the allies took a rather phelgmatic view of the league when the subject was broached, and were subjected to severe criticism from us for that reason. When the armistice was signed President Wilson decided to attend the conference. From all parts of the country arose encomiums and adulation, with some criticism. We were told NEWS OF THE | THEATERS % GRAND TONIGHT. If the girl you loved and trusted vanished on the eve of the wedding, leaving only a note warning against any attempt to follow, and later you followed her train to the under- world of a great city, would you try to forget her or brave death in seek- ing to solve the mystery. Larry faces just such a situation in “Fighting Destiny,” the Vitagraph feature which will be seen'in the Grand theatre tonight and suesday. He does brave death many times, but finally solves the mystery and the girl, and why she left him and how she justified herself from the amaz- ing theme of the picture. Harry .. Morey is Larry and he has one of the biggest roles in his screen career CHARMING PICTURE. A wild storm of tropical fury, an old delivery auto, transformed into a caravan, driven by pretty Vivian Martin, containing also an old maid schoolteacher a cat, a dog, an~ond shotgun and other paraphernalia— this is one of the incidents of “You never Saw Such a Girl,” the new paramount picture which is being shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Tuesday, with Vivian Martin as star. It is from a novel by George Weston and the scenario is by Mar- jon Fairfax. Robert G. Vignola is the director. Comedy, thrill and ro- mance are the principal ingredients of this charming picture. The second chapter of “The Man of Might.” the story of remarkable adventures and a thousand thrills, by Cyrus Town- that the president had conceived the idea of a league to pre—'qe“d Brady, featuring Wm. Duncan, vent future wars, the noblest program ever framed in a human brain. And he was going to Europe to shepherd the other nations into the fold—to force them into it if they would not enter willingly. He had formulated a new policy for the world. We claimed, in fact, that the idea of a league to enforce peace originated in the superior sagacity of this country. Itis rather late to deny it now. We were the originators of the idea. We wanted the credit for it, and if the scheme works well (and, with good judgment, it may) we deserved the credit for it. The allies did not clamor for it. They simply acquiesced. To oppose the idea would have been savage. The only reser- vation which each nation made was manifested in an unwilling- ness to accept any condition inimical to its own national sov- ereignty and security. The English were strong for it. They saw no sense in op- posing it, provided it did them no harm. If it did them any good, they would welcome it. But it must not affect their naval supremacy, or the security of their empire, their colonies and dependencies. Outside of that everything was all right. It was hooray for the league. They were even kind enough to write much of the treaty—as a guarantee that it would not hurt them. . The French said very much the same thing. If they were taken care of, they were agreeable. The other powers took much the same attitude. They have never taken any other view. If we decided now that the league will operate to our detriment—that we don’t want one—we will hear no indignant protests from Europe. We will not be antagonizing them over there. They never wanted one, particularly. At all events, they did not want one very loudly. The American delegates were the ones who did that. Hence it is rather late now to accuse President Wilson of countenancing an attempt to entrap us into a league against our interest. Our delegates in Paris were demanding the lea- gue. Many in America were clamoring for it. It is of our own making, or rather we are responsible for its having been made. Inasmuch as the league was literally forced upon the allies we can hardly object if they want to coat the pill with sugar. o lne (A e T REDUCED RATES TO STATE FAIR All persons living in Minnesota, eastern North and South Dakota, northern lowa, and western Wisconsin, will be able to get a fare and a half rate to the Minnesota State Fair, August 30 to September 6, as a result of a ruling just made by the United States railroad administration. This concession has been granted the fair because of the good which the fair will do in interesting the people of the Northwest in better methods of farming, the use of more up- to-date machinery, and the raising of better livestock. Preparations for the great exposition are in full swing. The fair will open Saturday morning, August 30 instead of on Monday, as has always been the custom. The fact that the fair is eight days long instead of six, and that the Northwest is about to harvest the greatest crop in history, leads officials to believe that all records for attendance will be shattered. The most extensive educational and entertaining program ever given by any fair in America is being prepared. One of the big features is to be a home-coming reunion celebration for all returned soldiers from France. s Tens of thousands of thesc soldiers will play a leading role in the reunion. 0 _~ The expected happened when heavy rain fell about the time of the advent of the Jefferson Highway trippers from New Orleans to Winnipeg, when they reached this part of the state. But the farmers were greatly benefitted and the drive from State Park to Bemidji was not so bad as many dry stretches encountered. It’s all part of the game of auto touring. Y| S— The sending of that powerful United States fleet to the Pacific to guard the coast seems to have been a logical move. Solne of those Asiatic countries, that have been heralded as be- for starting anything, and the people of the nation will feel a whole lot more secure. 0. Fourteen mills and elevators throughout the northwest, owned by the Osceola Mill and Elevator Co., were closed by the wheat. administration Saturday, because the company re- fused to give up excess profits, resulting from the war. Might make some of the other war profiteers dig up, also. o ‘The expense of conducting the county next year is asimltte.dly materially increased, but it is owing to the extreme high price of material and other things that is the chief factor. As the county progresses and has improvements, the cost will be higher, but the benefits greater. 2dith Johnson and Joe Ryan, is also on the program tonight and tomor- TOW. PENALTY OF SHAM. The penalty of sham is dratically portrayed in ‘‘Extravagance,” the latest Thomas H. Ince photoplay fea- turing the brilliant Dorothy Dalton, which will be shown at the Klko theatre next Wednesday and Thurs- day. EXPLAINS CAUSE OF MYOPIA Physician Asserts It Is Caused by Ob- struction of Outflow of Lymph, Due to Muscular Effort. The assymption that close applica- tion is the cause of myopia or near- sightedness is not gegarded as a sat- isfactory explanationN'n a recent num- ber of the Lancet the theory is advo- cuted by Dr. Ethridge Green that the | primary and essential enuse is an ob- struction of the outflow of the lymph. The obstruction may be produced by severe muscular effort, such as lifting Feavy weights, when a feeling of ten- sion Is always experiensed in the eyes, which appear, in extreme cases, to be starting from the head. This is more especially the cause of progres- slve myepia among warehouse men, porters and others whose work in- volves excessive effort, while with those engaged in sedentary occupa tians the' form of exercize taken may he responsible, as, wrestling, rowing. digging and algo coughing. Thus when signs of commencing myopia appear amything likely to increase the intraoc- wlar tension should be ayoided. There 13 no need to aveid reading. Houses of Presidents. In connection with the efforts to re- store the hirthplace of Theodore Roose velt, at 28 East Twentieth street, New York, it Is recalled that an attempt was made several years ago to acquire the old house in which President James Monroe died. The project never got beyond the placing in 1905 of & memorial tablet on the house, The old house, one of the archale structures in the city, ard much the worse through years of neglect, ir on the northwest corner of Lafayette and Prince streets. For vears the lower portion was used as a junk shop. It still presents the characteristics of the well-to-do restdence during the early part of the last century—three stories high, with dormer windows protruding from the attic. The honse was built by Samwel L. Gouverneur. who mar- riedl one -of Monroe's daughters. STAHL-JACOBS Furniture Renovators All work guaranteed. Work called for and de- livered.

And this is true and beyond all question when such stutements are made by people ot high character and published right in the community where each and every fact can be in- vestigated and verified. Mrs. Ecie May, residing on R. I'. D. No. 1, Box 99, Sioux Falls_South Da- kota., in relating her "experience with Tanlac. recently said: ““l certainly can s a good word for Tanlac for it has really and true- Iy made me feel like a new woman, 1 have had stomach trouble ever since 1 was fourteen years of age and as I grew older other troubles kept com- ing on me. 1 had rheumatism in my right arm so bad [ couldn’t sleep for the pain, and would do everything trying to get easy so | could get a little rest. My back hurt me so bad at times that I could hardly get up would often have dizzy spells ands nervous sick headaches.

"“Then I happened to read a Lesti- monial from a Nebraska lady, who had gotten relief from the same kind of troubles by taking Tanlac, and go- ing on the idea that what's good for one is good for another I got a bottle Well, it has helped me just like she ¢aid it did her and now [ know for myself that it is wonderful. 1 don’t get nervous any more nor have any The young lady Next door Says That when her Brother Comes home From service He will Have his Photograph taken In uniform Before he Puts it away And that Hakkerup Photographs Please her The best. \ of its in the seale keeps all of l 4 » The Fla when sitting or laying down, and IJ largest- selling gum in the world nat- urally has to have a package worthy So look for WRIGLEYS That’s why more headach nd the trouble and rheumatism have disap- peared, too. So Tanlac has not only relieved me of my physical suffering, but it has eased my mind as well, for I fully believe it has s ved me from an operation, as the pain is gone out of my side entirely. I am just feeling fine and my enthusiasm for Tanlac is unbounded.” Tanli is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs R. Sterling. in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. Will- iams. ) —————————— e e e stomach l BUSINESS AND | PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS Wax Figures of Ancestors.
