More fall plowing was done in August, says Andrew Boss, vice director of the Minnesota experiment station, than has been done in that month for years. The work, too, was pushed in September, in spite of-dry conditions in some localities, and will be well out of the way in a few days more. “Common observation has shown,” says Mr. Boss, “that the best crops are nearly always secured on the early fall plowed land. One cause for this undoubtedly is that the fall plowed land lies open and porous,’ ready to receive the fall rains, and absorbs a larger amount of moisture than unplowed land. Early plowing also gives time for the land to settle again before spring and allows it to become compact enough to re-establish good capillary action, thus getting moisture to the plants when moisture is needed.” Further summarizing . ithe advantages of fall plowing Mr. Boss says: “The decay of vegetable matter in the ‘soil, the storage of rain and the conservation of soil moisture are all important factors in making the next year’s crop. Insect pests are also held in check by fall plowing, and time is saved in getting the crop into the ground in the spring. Early seeding often gives assurance of a good harvest. Pieces of land infested with quack grass, Canada thistle, or other noxious weeds can well be re- plowed just before freezing time, thus pulverizing the soil more completely, setting back the weeds and making still better conditions for the growth of crops.” PR, W—— “TOM” BAILEY NEW POLICE CHIEF. The naming of Thomas Bailey, on Tuesday, for the office of chief of police for the city of Bemidji, brings to the force a man who was at one time sheriff of Beltrami county and. a good one. That was in the day when a man had to have red blood in his veins and a backbone that reached up into his neck, and Mr. Bailey fit the bill admirably.

The fool NEWS OF THE THEATERS THE DEAREST GIRL. In “Putting it Over’” his Para- mount picture which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Thursday, Bryant Washburn, the popular young star, plays the part of Buddy, a country boy, who was clever despite the fact that he was born and reared outside of a big city. The dearest girl in the world had agreed to marry him and he must make fifty a week, and. make it quick. How he did it forms one of the most delightful and highly enter- taining pictures that has been pro- duced for some time. The scenario was written by Marjon Fairfax from the story by George Weston. Shirley Mason plays the feminine role and other promin- eni players round out the cast. A “Big V" two part comedy 1s also on the Elko program for tonight and tomorrow. e “BROWN OF HARVARD.” A photoplay that has pleased thou- sands throughout the couutry, and hundreds who were fortunate :enough to view it when first shown in Be- midji, namely, “Brown of Harvard,” is to appear in the Grand theatre to- night and tomorrow. In this delight- ful production Tom Moore is featured and he has been cast most happily. This p_hotoplay presents entertain- ment that is delightful in the un- folding of ‘the story of youth, love, college sports and hearts desires at- tained at the end. REX—AGAIN TONIGHT. ‘Gloria Hope, a screen star of beauty and great personmality, sup- ports Jack Pickford in “Bill Apper- son’s Boy,” the First National fea- ture, which will be seen at the Rex theatre last time tonight. Miss Hope has the part of Martha Yarnton, the daughter of a quarrelsome old moun- taineer, and likewise the slavey for a family of six shiftless brothers. . She i8 courted by Buddy Apperson ‘(Jack Pickford) and returns his love. But their dreams of muarriage are shattered ' when, one night, ’Martha‘ is awakened to find a man in ' the house. When lights are procured it is found to be Buddy, who says he entered to catch a burglar who came ahead of him. Martha’s father wi.i not believe this statenrent, and has Buddy arrested for burglary. Buddy is acquitted, but soon after leaves home, and only returns when he hears the Yarnton’s: have invaded the home of his father. TOMORROW AT THE REX. At the Rex theatre on tomorrow and Friday, William Fox will pre- sent Willlam Farnum, one of Be- midji's favorite screen stars, who will appear in that stirring produc- tion, “Riders of the Purple Sage.” This gripping play is from the novel of Zane Gray and the picture is thrilling masterpiece. * Philatelic Notes. The illustration on the current dol- lar stamp in China represents the arch of the Temple of Confucius at Peking. The Sultan of Egypt recently sent $400 to a dealer in Philadelphia for 11 rare Egyptian stamps. It is sald the sultan possesses the most valu- able collection of Egyptian stamps in the world.’ The 10 cent red stamp Issued by Belgium on July 19, 1919, was com- pletely sold out in five days. There were only 25,000 coples printed and only five stamps were allowed to be sold to one person. New stamps are appearing for '.ha] city of Flume bearing the words: “Poste Fiume” instead of “Fiume.” This is a fortunate day.
