P MODERN MOVIE HOUSE ° LOCATES IN BAGLEY|" (Special to Pioneer.) Bagley, Oct. 13.—Bagley has the most modern movie house in any town of its size, was the statement made today by Vernie Daniels, man. ager of the Family theatre. Mr. Daniels recently installed a modern, motor driven Simplex ma- chine, using a 39-amphere mazada lamp for projection light instead of the old, dangerous and wasteful car- bons. The machine being motor driven makes the pictures far more steady than pictures shown by a ma- chine, driven by hand. The Paramount Artcraft service has been contracted for a year. Bagley people will now see the latest pictures at about the same time the|. $ people in the larger cities do. Para-| § mount-Arteraft pictures include such{ ‘8tars as Lillilan Gish, Mary Miles Minter, Mary Pickford, Dustin Far- num and Julian Eltinge. The Bagley orchestra has been hired for Saturday and Sunday showsd;: and special features, while a pianoist will furnish music at the Tuesday and Thursaay shows. The manager stated that business had increased so greatly that it was ‘possibe to have shows three times a week while heretofore shows were | given only once a week. Fruit trees need some attention |- It is advisable to|'% during summer. cultivate in such a manner as to con- serve moisture and keep down weeds. The trees should be-kept in a growsi: fog cendition. _ [ o e DUCK HUNTINGa » F. G.

The house ‘which is the real home, beautiful and yet {ntimate, whether its possessor be rich or poor, is hard to find.

Wander among the houses of the poor and you will find row on row of dlngy habitatiouns, crowded .one on top of the other, perhaps painted a gray blie—and sadly in need of another coat.

Houses and grounds so much “dlike that a man might go into any one of a dozen of them for his own, In a fit of absent-mindedness, + Yet the owner could be no more pos- *8essed of money than he Is and still own a much more atrractive place, His initial mistake was in picking a house of the same pattern as all the others ‘In the street. He could have picked one, not more expensive but less com- mon, if he had tried harder. One. too, that had an inviting coat of paint on it. Then He should have proceeded to develop a front lawn and garden..to plant some trees, if needful, as well as some vines to decorate the house and redeem it from the commonplace.

Joe Crider, attor- ney for the defendant, E. M. 2 Hollingsworth, argued that as .the dog was paralyzed in the # hind leg it could not fit the de- ‘ seription in the complaint of ““not being properly guarded)” “If the dog had been as para- § 1ytie in the front portion of his § anatomy,” retorted the judge, 2 “as he was in the rear, the accl- .dent complained of would not have happened.
