Published in sdvance, §1.50 REMEMBER, IT IS YOUR RED CROSS. Remember, this is yoin:'A Red Cross and the Red Cross roll call. . i ) The Red Cross, a national organization, is putting on this third enrollment of members at the same time all over the country because it can save all its chapter’s money and time and can make available a large amount of publicity which is nation wide. . The proposition for this year and for future years is a local one, and can be summed up in the question, “What can I do as a Red Cross member to make my home town a better place for my neighbor and me to live in?” Public health, first aid, disaster relief. Do they mean noth- ing to you? Do you believe in insurance? Then get behind and play the game to the last inning and watch the result. You will say it is good. You can’t help saying so. Why? Because you helped to do it for your family in your town. —— e WHERE THE STRIKE SHOE PINCHES MANUFACTURING. The first instance of injury to industry is cited in a dispatch from South Bend, Ind., that the Oliver Plow company will soon have to close down unless it can obtain coal for its continua- tion, and so notified the government. The Oliver plant is a large concern and manufactures an extensive line of agricultural implements and employes thou- sands of men. Inability to secure coal and throw the employes out of wages will work a hardship on both company and plant, and also upon the agricultural interests of the country, agd indicates the destructiveness of such strikes in general, where the great American public is affected, and industries, in no manner interested, except in the fuel problem. _ MILITARY OFFICERS IMPRESSED WITH BEMIDJL With the arrival home of Brigadier General Rhinow and Colonel Woolnaugh, U. S. A., and other Minnesota military officers, they gave out the information unmistakably that Be- midji was to have a military unit of the Sixth Minnesota national guard regiment. “What they saw in Bemidji and investigation of its military record seemed to greatly impress the distinguished visitors and the result will not be disappoint- ment to the state and federal military administrations. Returned service officers and men will be in command of the new unit and when the naval unit is again reorganized, after service in the first line of Uncle Sam’s -defense, the erection of a handsome armory will be one of the results, to cost much more than the armory originally planned for the naval com- pany. PERSIR Y SO : Game Warden Bailey’s timely admonition and information to all hunters is valuable to many gun artists. He is always ready to give any information on the game laws of the state; and as several changes have been made it might be well to! consult him before taking a chance on making a false move. I A One often hears of the admonition something to the effect that one should ‘“love his neighbor as himself.”” Maybe.that’s all right, but he doesn’t want to talk in his sleep, specially if she’s young and good looking. — And Minnesota defeated Wisconsin on the latter’s grounds at Madison and Illinois whitewashed Chicago. Can’t tell by the looks of a frog how far he can jump. IPEESE PR, 1t is qpite aristocratic nowadays for one to take his coffee or tea straight. Only the fortunate are able to cut a dash with one or two lumps of sugar. T e All it takes is a heart and a dollar to renew membership for a year in the Red Cross or to become a new member. Isn’t that an easy problem to solve? NEWS OF THE SCREENED BEFORE BOOKING. A new plan whereby tneatre own- ers may know just what the picture is before they book it to show their patrons, has recently been perfected THE A T E R S by the Goldwyn Distributing corpora- tion. Quite recently this company sent their biggest newest special pro- duction, “The World and Its Woman” in seven parts to Bemidji, and a small but enthusiastic audience of hardened film critics viewed the pie- ture and pronounced it “worthy” of the name Special, and it was immed- iately bogked to be shown at the Grand .theatre Thursday and Friday this week. Geraldine Farrdr, (a name known in every household, both for her fame as an opera singer, and actress as well) and her husband, Lou Tel- legen, who appears with her for the first time, are:the principals. The cast included other well known names among, whom are Alex B. Francis, Naomi Cailders, and Francis Marion. WORTH-WHILE PHOTOPLAY. A really worth-while photoplay is “The Haunted Bedroom,” starring daintf Emid Bennett, which is ou view at the Elko theatre last times tonight. The mystical atmosphere impadrted by the story fills the spec- tator with thrills and there isn’t a dull moment throughout the action. It is quite certain that all who see this Paramount production will find it entertaining to a degree. The sup- port is excellent. Billy West, the fellow that looks like Chaplin, also appears ini the two part comedy ‘‘Bright and Early,” at the Elko tonight. EASY SLEDDIN~? Many young men nowadays are often heard to remark something along this line: “Well, I am not going to work al- ways. Pretty soon I'll marry some girl whose daddy don’t know what to do with his dough, and then it’ll be easy sledding.” But all young men with such ideas had better see Wallace Rein in “You're Fired!” at the Elko theatre ‘tomorrow and Thursday, before be- ing too sure of their prospects. it YN’S WIFE.” The moral of ‘“Josselyn’s Wife,” Bessie Barriscale’s latest Exhibitors Mutual production is: "Don’t intro- duce your handsome son to his step- mother if you want domestic happi- ness. When' the elderly Josselyn in- gisted on his young married son making his house his home, he didn’t know he was leading his boy to the brink of disgrace, and himself to death and dishonor. Probably the most interesting episode yet shown is No. five of the ‘Master Mystery” THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER S ASHINGTON.—Count von Eckard to Mexico during the war were w pro-German sentiment in the southern republic, warns his.fellow countrymen against emigrating to Argentina and Mexico until they are certain: that con- ditions there are favorable for them, according to one of his recent lectures, a copy of which has just been re- ceived in Washington from Germany, Minister von Eckardt asserts: . ‘The country is still pro-German today and the sympathies for Gerfhany will not be killed. What advantages we may derive from this predilection depend wholly upon our ability to in- culcate into the Mexican people Ger- ° , man culture and upon our keeping up the reputation we have gained for capability and trustworthiness. “We must send only capable men Mexico, where they may do honer to the name of Germany and Hamburg.

ALICE BRADY IN “REDHEAD.” “Redhead,” Alice Brady’s latest picture, which Select pictures offers tomorrow at the Rex theatre, is the story of Dazie, alias “Redhead,” who marries Matthew Thurlow, a rich young man-about-town, when both are under- the influence of liguor. They both regret it the following morning, but she decidesthat as long as they are married she will make a man of him. The story is a splendid one, full of love and charm, and holds your interest to the last fade-out. 5 Neal Hart in a western drama will be an added feature. “THE REBELLIOUS BRIDE.” Miss Peggy Hyland will be at the Rex tonight, in her latest William Fox photoplay, ‘The Rebellious Bride.” This is described as a story of the Ozark mountains, with Peggy as a wild, carefree, fun-loving girl who is compelled to marry the first man she meets on a country road. She gets a millionaire, and she has the hardest job of her young life figuring out what she will do with him after she gets him. o How she gets into this dilemma, ‘dfter fleeing from one man’at tie als tar and eloping with a second suitor; is said to be told in a way .bot! thrilling and amusing; and how she gets out of the dilemma is shown in a smashing climax. An L-Ko comedy will also be shown. France Seeks Mauritius. There is a movement in France to ask Great Britain for the return of Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France, which was lost in 1810. It is contend- ed that, In spite of being under Brit- ish rule for over a hundred years, the island is still essentially French, and that the people desire union with their mother counttry. Great Britain has no particular rea- son for keeping the island, says the Newecastle Chronicle. It has no stra- tegic or economic importance, nor has It any sentimental associations, so far as Great Britain is concerned. For the French, on the other hand, it is the place to which many of their nobles emigrated, and Is the island which’ Bernardin St. Pierre immortalized in his idyl, “Paul and Virginia.” The Islanders gave proof of their feeling for France by sending many of their sons to fight in the French army. Safe Light for Miners, Nowadays the up-to-date miner car- ries a package of electricity about with him while underground. It is .a small storage battery attached tb the back of his belt, and is connected by a cord with a lamp fastened to the front of his cap: The lamp, provided with a reflector, throws quite a flood of light in'front of the miner. But its chief advantage is absolute safety. In olden days miners (who must, of course, have light) carried about with them open-flame lamps. These caused innumerable disastrous accldents through ignition of coal dust or gases. Sir Humphry Davy's invention' of & gafety lamp whose flame was protected by a wire gauze saved an immense number of lives. It is in common use today, but the electric mine lamp fis better and more convenient. celebrated after sunset.

Radium had been obtained almost wholly from mines in Bohemia, but a few years ago deposits were found in Cornwall, England, and in Portu gal. near Guarda in the bed of a stream. The Cornwall pitchblend from which radium is extracted is said to be particularly rich in metal. 500 milligrams being extracted. Out- gide the Cornwall yield there were about 5,500 milligrams in existence not long ago. A new process extracts the metal quicker and more cheaply. Prior to 1910 radium was something like $3,000,000 an ounce, but subse- quent discoveries have reduced the price about one-third. It is one of the heaviest known metals, having the atomic weight of 224.4 as com- pared with 207 for lead. The pos- sibilities of this metal in the produe- tion of light, heat and power are too vast to estimate, and it may have a most important use in medicine. The wusual commercial product known as radium is really ome of its salts, usually the bromide, but Mme. Curie and E. Debierne isolated pure radium.
