One of the most remarkable criminal court calendars was completed in the district court Saturday morning, the last ver- dict of a jury being “guilty” in one of the list of cases which was on trial for violation of the liquor laws. The calendar was the more remarkable for the reason that every one of the defendants were convicted, either by their per- sonal admission of the charges without trial, or by trial were found guilty in every instance by juries composed of law abid- ing citizens of Beltrami county. ; “Repeaters” were among the defendants, constant and continuous violators of the laws, allowed to run wide open in i defiance of law, order and common decency, flagrantly under the eyes of those sworn to prevent such conditions which was common talk among the people of Bemidji and known to prac- tically every inhabitant of the city. Yet sponsored by the minions of the law under oath to keep a sharp lookout for any illegal flagrations of not only the ordinances of the city and county but of the laws of the United States. To County Attorney Graham M. Torrance is due the credit, as he alone fought an array of legal talent schooled in the law, while two state witnesses were charged with what was con- sidered perjury by Judge Stanton, judge of the district court, who heard the trials, and were remanded to the county jail. It was an example of justice and the juries are to be i strongly commended for their fearlessness in rendering their verdicts. They could not be hoodwinked by any such tactics and it was the rawest deal ever attempted in the district court of Beltrami county. i The city is shaken from circumference to center.

During these 24 hours no food or water must touch the lips of Jews. Illness and tender age are the only excuses for not fasting during the holy day. " This is the most sacred holy day prescribed by the Jewish religion. The observance of the Day of Atonement centers about the concepts of sin and repentance, which are fundamental to Jewish religious thought. Sin, it is held, means simply a devia- tion from the right course, and can be atoned by sincere repent- ance, which is not a passing mood of emotional excitement, but an actual return to the moral, spiritual life. Mankind, far from being innately corrupt or depraved, can surmount the frailities of flesh'to the extent of conforming to the exalted ideas revealed by @od to the prophets the Jews believe. g True repentance, expressed in deeds, is the key to human self-realization, to human happiness. These ™are the chief themes emphasized by the ritual for the Day of Atonement. e e e o B P S i Well, the tire on the wheel sort of got punctured, didn’t it, te‘llows? And you, too, old scout.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Members of boys’ and girls’ pig clubs are the pioneers in introducing purebred pigs and improved methods of management in many parts of the South, where the swine indusiry 18 making unprecedented progress. This is true in a marked degree in Georgia. Among the pig clubs, the total sum represented by the hogs and pigs in the hands of the pig club mem- bers of the state last year was almost a half million dollars. The increase in the number of purebred pigs raised by the club memnibers in 1918 over 1917 was more than 306 per cent. The in- crease in profits on hogs raised in 1918 over the previous year was more than 61 per cent. ; Pig clubs were carried on in connec- tion with school work in many locali- ties.

The amount invested was $2,300:: At an auction sale 80.9f the surplus pigs were sold, nnd& turns from the sale, together # value of the remaining hogs;* sented $7,800. K Pig-club members had a prominent part in the swine exhibits at the two fairs held jn the state and carried off many prizes. Of the -2,105 hogs ex- hibited at the Southeastern falr, 345 were owned and raised by pig-club bgys who won 31 ribbons in the open ng. Three of the_prizes were junior champions. Of the 350 hogs exhibited at the state fair, 87 were owned and raised by pig-club boys who won 39 ribbons in the open ring and $272 in prizes. One of the ribbons was a junior champion. With 28 club pigs one county won 27 ribbons and prizes amounting to $817.50, including the state championship. The state pig-club champion was the 11-year-old son of a small farmer who bought his pig at an auction sale for $37.50. At the end of the contest this hog was worth $300. In one county six pig-club boys, who started in their club work with one small pig enq, will start hog farms this year. Three of these boys already have theit hogs and land. strenuously inclined will be found in “The Final Close-Up,” Shirley Mason’s new Paramount picture, which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Tuesday. In the fect certainly is quite as tropical as if the work actually had been done on the Dark Continent. There is a strong and predominate love theme running through “The Jungle Trail,’ 'based on the rivalry of two New Yorkers for the hand of a young woman. The action, how- ever, after the first few scenes, is largely in Africa and the thrills are introduced in consequence of the at- tempts made on the life of the hero of the story. Mr. Farnum is ably supported by a large cast and the photography of the picture is one of its features. There will also be a two-reel Fox Sunshine comedy. NEWS OF THE THEATERS MANY AT REX OPENING. Packed houses saw the opening bill of the new Rex theatre Saturday night and Sunday, the offering being N Mary Pickford in “The Hoodlum’ and il Charlie Chaplin, while a five-piece orchestra played throughout the eve- ning. William Farnum, interperter of i romantic roles, has an entirely satis- factory medium in the William Fox picture, “The Jungle Trail,”” whicn he will be seen tonight and tomor- row at the Rex theatre.

Enough action to suit the most role of the department store clerk, so many things happen to Miss Mason that she has a difficult time keeping up with events. Finally, however, she catchés two thieves, gets back her own money and the jewels of the other guests, and finds things clear sailing in her love affairs with Jimmie. Francis McDonald plays Jimmie, the news- paper reporter. The story, written by Royal Brown, appeared in the Red Book Magazine for September, 1918. “The Man of Might” is also on the Elko program tonight and to- mMOrrow. GREAT BASEBALL PICTURE. Charles Ray’s Paramount photo- play, “i1he Busher,” which is to ap- pear Wednesday and Thursday at the Elko theatre this week, is a great baseball picture, which all may see with delight and profit. Mr. Ray has the, role.of a bush league pitcher whose adventures in love and on the diamond are most thrilling. Colleen Moore is his leading woman. “|in the quest for: grace dnd bBeauty! are OF PiG.CLUBS !

A season, of draped effect in women’s frocks usually finds an echo of some sort in the garments turned out for members of the younger generation, and the coming season will prove no exception. Straight-line gar- ments, draperies, and tunics have all been approved for women, and certain- 1y straight-line chemise or smock styles and tunics are being equally strongly favored in the dresses developed for girls of ten years and over.- Seen recently was a smart little tu- nic dress that may be made of wool matertal, of velvet or of taffeta. It would be exceptionally smart made of taffeta in navy, with narrow double fringe in contrasting color outlining the neck and the side closing. But- tons matching the fringe also give a trimming touch. The sash ends are also finished with fringe, If made of- velvet or serge the sash may be omit- ted and a wide crushed girdle caught with an ornamental buckle - substi- tuted for it.
