Over a year ago, is we remember correctly, maybe longer, the city council took up the question of permitting a carnival company to come to Bemidji. carnivals had come and carnivals had gone. At that time, like the present, It was decided by the council to allow the carnival in question to_come to Be- midji, it being suggested that when it‘had passed on to ql'a“' a new ordinance governing the showing of such attractions, for which an increased license sure attractions of merit. fee was to be charged, to in- The carnival just closed caused conside_erable feeling on the part of several municipal officials and citizens, much of it of senseless argument, but at that it seems time that the council acted upon a new ordinance and one that will in the future settle such problems to a certainty. o r THE COST The federal bureau of markets reports over fifty million bushels of wheat in the elevators and storehouses on June 1, not including the stocks on farms or commercial stocks. There is twenty per cent more wheat flour on hand than at this time last year. K ] I Very much the same situati OF FOOD on seems to exist in the case of many other kinds of foodstuffs, and we have for some time been assured that, barring the most improbable contingencies, the 1919 wheat crop will be enormous. It .will be well to bear these facts in mind next winter if the cost of food makes any ecc that the cause is artificial (and n entric rises. It will be known ot natural) scarcity. . 1t should be fairly easy to place the blame. It will be fault of market riggers and operators, or the cost of transportation, or a shortage of freight cars. 1f either of them, or if any other reason, it should be easy for the government to ferret it out. That is what we have a government for. But it will be necessary, under any condition, to trace the trouble to some cause. Costly and this, in the case of the indivi a handicap, with half efficiency. food means insufficient food; dual, means work performed at with an unnourished body. The result will be curtailed production and diminished prosperity. It is up to the government. 0 Tomorrow afternoon one o IMPORTANT MEETING TODAY f the most important meetings of business men and farmers will be held in Bemidji, when the proposition to establish a comm unity market will be discussed. There are other cities, larger than Bemidji, that have these community markets and they have all proven successful and of marked benefit both to producers and consumers. W. G. Braden of Adrian, Mich., organizer and director of the community market in that city, will be present and tell of the work of organization and conduct of such a market and what it means to all concerned. the merchants and farmers, all large number should hear him, the program. 0 He has been secured to tell about the proposition,.and a and also the other speakers on And now, Mr. President, we suggest a league of industry that will prevent these eternal scraps between capital and labor and restore something like public confidence in our commercial system.

RN T NEWS OF THE THEATERS WARD IN APPEALING ROLE. “The Profiteers,” the latest of Pathe’s Extra Selected Star Photo- plays, featuring that wonderful mis- tress of emotion, Fannie Ward, will be offered at the Grand theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. “The Profiteers” is a page taken almost exactly from the history of our national life—the woman in it seems but a 'helpless mite between two giant contending forces—the forces of ruthless ambition as oppos- ed to the forces of right-—affording an intimate view of the inner work- ings of a heartless food trust, and we are shown how a woman's devo- tion, courage and despration carried a frail little creature, when driven to bay, safely through the devilish machinations of the sinister system. PLAYTHINGS OF PASSION. He was a minister of the gospel working in the slums. She was a young society butterfly, frivolous and vain, never thinking of the serious side of life and ignoring the love her husband gave her. - “‘Playthings of Passion,” the new- est superpicture in which Kitty Gordon is starring for United Picture Theatres, Inc., is described as a startling story with the above theme for its badis. It deals with the temp- tation which came to the young cleric and the momentous results arising from the way he met it, the production is said to be a lavish one Miss Gordon returning to, and far exceeding, it is reported, the lavish display of feminine adornment for which her name is famous. “Play- things of Passion,” will be seen at the Grand theatre tonight. HER CHECK NO GOOD. If vou had invited many fashion- able guests to a dinner, and at the last moment made the alarming dis- covery that the caterer refused to accept vour check, how would you get out of your predicament? This was the situation which con- fronted the heroine in “Good Gra- cious, Annabelle!” a Paramount photoplay in which Billie Burke the famous comedienne, will agah; be seen at the Elko theatre tonight. The situation referred to is only one of many of a like character. The story has numerous situations of great dramatic power, in which Miss Burke appears to the highest ad- vantage. Miss Burke is finely supported by a notable cast of players headed by MRS.-MORTON F. PLANT Mrs. Morton F. Plant, an active Red Cross worker ‘who was married to Col. William Hayward, commander of the Fifteenth Infantry, the famous negro regiment. ) LIVING -MONUMENT TO DEAD Town to_Care for One French Orphan for Each of Its Dead Soldiers. Chicago.—Twenty-one little French war orphans constitute a living monu- ment which Clarinda, Ia., has planned for its soldier dead. A fund has been | contributed by its citizens to care for one little war waif for each Clarinda hoy who died in France, that their names may be kept alive, to be loved and honored on both sides of the wa- ter. receive letters regularly from one small protege who during its whole lifetime will hold the name of their hoy in reverence, The Clarinda citizens have paid $36.50—10 cents a day—for each child’s support for a year, through the Fa- therless Children of France, an Ameri- can organization with headquarters at 410 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, co-operating with a similar one in France, of which Marshal Joffre is the head. The organization will see that the adopiion of each child is made in the name of and as a memorial to a dead soldler of Clarinda. The town plans to repeat this sum annually for each child until it is capable of caring for itself. : It has been dewonstratcd that 10 cents a day, to suppiemes:t. the pension of the same amount which tie French government, straining Its resources, granted its war orphans at the time of the early disasters, will suffice to keep soul and body together in a little vie- tim of the war and enable it to remain with Its mother or other living rela- itive Instead of being placed in an in- stitution. From the prayers of such a child thé name of the brave American soldier who died for France and the world will never be absent, HONOR SLAIN BOY SCOUTS .
