Mcl. Carter, general, G. S., United States army chief of the military bureau, he says: “I am in receipt of your letter in regard to the authoriza- tion of two additional National Guard regiments in Minnesota. In regard thereto, I beg to advise you that until - the character of our future military establishment has been determined by Congress, it is not considered advisable to authorize the forma- tion of new units beyond the troops absolutely necessary for do- mestic protection. “The funds available for the maintenance (including pay) and equipment of National Guard are very limited, being re- stricted to the unexpended balance from the appropriation for the fiscal year 1919, the appropriation bill for the military establishment having failed of enactment during the past ses- sion of congress. Accordingly, a careful estimate has been made of the needs of the several states, and an allotment of troops has been authorized in as equitable a manner as pos- sible. The State of Minnesota already having three regiments of Infantry organized, was not allotted additional troops, the three being more than allotted to other states of equal popu- lation or area. “The utility of having troops organized and equipped as defined in your letter is appreciated, and it is regretted that nothing can be done at this time to further their completion and recognition as National Guard units.” Thus the Bemidji Motor Corps will become a war memory. But it will be a pleasant one, as the corps of Minnesota per- formed efficient and timely service, not only along military lines, but in relief work. I e, AW, RELATIVE VALUES On a certain day a short while ago it became highly prob- able that a dirigible balloon travelling to this country would complete its trip successfully, which it later did. This may mean the establishment of a practical method of intercommuni- cation between the old world and the new at a speed hitherto unattained. Alcock, as we know, achieved a much highier record of speed in his non-stop flight, but it was made by aeroplane. And this method of locomotion across the Atlantic will not for a long time produce very practical results. But with the baloon it is otherwise. There are many ways in which this method of communication would be of practical value, and these are the things which make for international understandings, and for peace. The day in question was, therefore, a momentous one. Yet the airship was overtooked in newspaper headlines in all the large towns, because Messrs. Willard, Dempsey and others claimed the space—two extremely healthy and husky gentle- men who stayed at home when their country was in need of fighters. When our daily press gives up its space to detailed ac- counts of a prize fight which is of no practical value to our country, and relegates to obscurity a transatlantic flight which promises to become epochal throughout the world, it indicates that we in America are living in an age that is slightly dislo- cated in its sense of proportion. e T If we spent less time wondering how other people are go- ing to live we perhaps would live a little better ourselves. NSRGENEES N Thg kaiser, after all, may take hope. If banished to some ;g]r?ote island he will not have to worry much over grocery ills. . | O As a step in the direction of preparedness, just how do you pronounce “soviet?” EEREy ST If King Victor Immanuel succeeds in curbing the Italian profiteers, w_e']l bg unanimously in favor of importing him bod- ily and putting him onto the job in this country. Throughout the picture this fidel- ity to atmosphere is preserved, while the titling in its poetic aptness, has never been surpassed in the Hayawa- ka productions, which is high praise indeed. Hayakawa plays a difficult role like the artist he is, and is ably supported by Tsuru Aoki in the role of Sada, with which she created a sensation on the stage. OH JOHNNY. A cowpuncher—a regular lone wolf—at a Long lsland house party forms the basis of the comedy and drama in “Oh Johnny!" in which The char mand pathos of the stage | LOUis Bennison will be seen for the play, “Shadows " from which 1t has first time in moving pictures. What been adapted, are preserved, while Johnny learns about the diversions NEWS OF THE THEATERS HAYAKAWA TONIGH™ There are many heart-stirring mo- ments in ‘A Heart in Pawn, Sessue Hayakawa's most recent HHawortn production, which will be shown to- night and tomorrow at the Grand theatre. realistically and scenically the pro- duction surpasses the stage version, just so far as nature excels paint and canvas. f The night scenes in Japan—parti- cularly the thrilling chase of the con- vict woman -after her escape from prisap; are weirdly beautiful. and only-a. master-hand of artistry could reproduce so realistically the power and exotic beauty of the mystic Orient, and manners at fashionable house parties brings many a hearty laugh, not without keen points of satire. i “Oh Johnny!" and Charley Chap- lin in “The Bank™ will be shown Sat- urday and Sunday at the Grand. HER LATEST WHIM. Dorothy Dalton comes to the Elko theatre tonight and Thursday in her latestflPnramonm picture, “Extravag- ance,”. THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER } The play is not an allegory, the title might lead you to suspect. It lis a vivid picture of modern life life not as it should be, but life as it is. Milady isn't satisfied with one car; her pearl necklace isn’t as costly as Mrs. Smith's. So Friend Husband, must put his nose to the grindstone again to satisfy her latest whim. But in the end she proves herself a worthy wife and real woman. We know you'll like “Extrava- gance;" it isn’t the least bit preachy; vou know a hundred people like the ‘hief characters; the moral isn’t drawn for you; you will have to do that yourself. TO RUN SPECIAL TRAINS. (By United Press.) Fargo, July 23.—The Great North- ern will run special trains from Devils Lake, New Rockford and Lar- rimore to the Inter-state fair here tomorrow. These trains will arrive here at ten and return at 8 o’clock. Exercised Dlscretion. Richard. on his first visit to the country, climbed the fence into the fleld where a Jersey cow was grazing. The cow, being somewhat of a pet, greeted him with a loud and joyous moo, whereupon Richard beat a hasty and disorderly retreat. “No; I wasn't edzackly afrald,” he explained; “but when she kept saying, ‘Move, move! [ thought I'd better keep a-movin'!” The Biggest Mummy. The largest mummy in the world Is that of an animal, the Beresovka mammoth, In the Petrograd museum. ‘The specles has been extinct for Mousands of years, and the Beresovka smammoth—which was found embed- wl in the frozen earth near the Bere- sovka river, in northeast Siberia— probably lived fifty thousand years ago. HE DID NOT WORK IN OVER A YEAR Munson Gains Eighteen Pounds Taking Tanlac—Is Well And Strong Again. “]1 have gained eighteen pounds ince 1 commenced taking Tanlac, i.d never felt better in my life than | do now,” sald Alek Munson, who, ,wofore his health failed, was a valued auployee of the Foundation Ship 3uilding Co., and lives at 1134 Michi- un avenue., Portland, Ore., the other lay. “When | began taking Tanlac,” he cntinued, “I hadn’t been able to hit lick of work for over a year, and I .:d Dbeen suffering terribly from tomuch trouble for about four years. t seemed to me that 1 had made very possible effort to overcome this .ouble, but my condition gradually ew worse, and about a year ago I cached the point where I had to give p my work altogether. KEverything ate disagreed with me, and for two v three hours after meals I would be bloated up with gas, and would e the worst cramping pains in the it of my stomach a man ever had. i'hen, this gas would often get up jito my chest and make my heart pal- .itate something awful_and it would o almost impossible for me to get a wod breath! I also suffered from onstipation and often had splitting cadaches. | was very nervous all ilie time, and never got a good night’s ieep. These troubles just continued o pull me down until 1 got so weak rd run deyvn that when I went to valk my legs would just give right “wn under me. “The money I had spent for medit ines and treatments might just as .ell have been thrown in the » olum- a River so far as the good I got from t. but I thought I would keep on 1ving. and that is why I gave Tanlac trial when it came along. Well, ir, before I had finished my first bot- le of Tanlac, 1 could see that I had truck it right at last, and 1 was ‘izht, too, for Tanlac certainly did ust what they said it would do, and am now a well, strong man again. Wy stomach troubles have all disap- reared, and | am never bothered with ss forming, and I don’t have those wwful cramping spells any more. I wve such a fine appetite that I can nardlly get enough to eat, and every- thing 1 eat agrees with me all right. i have regained all my lost weight ind strength, and am now getting ceady to go back to work. Now, that s what Tanlac has done for me, and [ think that is saying a whole lot for this wonderful medicine.” Tanlac 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- farms. 0 UR facilities are of the high- est character. We are equipped to satisfy the most exacting client.
