S. McClen- ahan, who is a colleague of Judges C. W. Stanton and B. F. Wright in the district, to sit in the supreme court of the state to hear the arguments on the validity of the soldiers’ bonus law. Two more appointments to the supreme bench were made for the same reason, and that wag that three supreme jurists had relatives in the military“sérvice and hence .were reported as disqualified. 4 k.« Judge McClenahan is a resid?nt of Brainerd anq fi"e- quently holds court in Bemidji. ‘He is a most capable district court ‘executive, fair and square as a die, and can be depeqded upon to give all due consideration to the testiof the soldiers’ bonus law. . . *’* \ H O p -Turpin, SALVATION ARMY HOME REALITY. According to a dispatch from Minneapolis, the Salvation ‘Army intends to carry out its full intention of establishing a headquarters home. in Bemidji, work to be commenced next WASHBURN-SENNETT. The unusual title, “A.Very Good Young Man,” fittingly describes the role played by Bryant Waghburn in his Paramount picture of that name, which will be shown .at. the Elko theatre Sunday, Monday and Tues- day. But when he proposes to nis sweet- heart she refuses him with the sur- prising statement that he is too good to be true— that his wild oats would probably crop out after they were married and her life be rendered un- happy. Yy He lands her after all and in a unique and entertaining way, that should be seen to be appreciated. Other attractions are . orchestra music Sunday evening and a -three day run of Mack Sennetts latest com- edy “Salome vs. Shenandoah.” In this comedy, which is sure to delight Sennett fans, a number of comedians is gathered which serves to uphold the highest traditions of the Para- mount-Mack Sennett comedies.

' ** — e “CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN.” When representatives of farm organizations and labor met at Chicago for a conference on the high cost of living, they sounded the slogan “Cut Out the Middleman.” . We read some time ago the route taken by a carload of potatoes, that started from the middle west, reached Chicago, | to:Kansas:City;: wound up.on:the.Pacific ‘coast, was sent|| It is reasonable to believe that several who handled that car-profited in no small degree, and-it’s just such things-that the farmer and wage earner should thoroughly. agree upon, as it affects the general peoples of the nation.

Gy e NY: -We were greatly interested #in the dis'batgzh* ,fiéfn Paris, to the effect that the Franco-British treaty had gene into effect, It was drafted some time ago and thoroughly \s_fi"i'eed‘ upon by both countries. France is still open to the German butchers should f}iey feel that further aggression was necessary again, and naturally would turn her eyes toward the nation she sought to conquer as part of her bloody reign and invasion. b aesstwny That Great Britain is aware of that fact is attested by the treaty that guarantees that in case of German aggression Eng- land will again rally to the aid of her loyal ally* ™ = * NEWS OF THE THEATERS “RIDERS OF VENGEANCE.” Harry Carey has added another “incher to his right to be called Ace af the Saddle. of Vengeance.” will be it at the Rex theatre has surpasse¢ in intense interest and thrills any of the former successes which has won this western star his sobriquet. But mitigating tne lurid seveationalitm of gun-play through- out the piece is the spirit of fair play the hero shows toward his bitterest enemi the band of muraerous cowpunchers hired by a rival cattle- man to exterminate the Carston fam- ily. Harry Carey, in the part of Chey- enne Harry Carston, whose entire family was assassinated on the steps of the little western church a mom- ent after he had emerged with his new bride on his arm, has scored an- other success in portraying the life in the Weset just at the close of the Civil war. Lawlessness, so called, as applied to conditions in the cattle towns of New Mexico is a misnomer. There was alaw, a deadly inexorable law, that was dealt both in justice and injustice, the law of the six- shooter and the Winchester. An L-Ko comedy in two parts, will also be shown. “AUCTION OF SOULS.” when 191g. Up to the present time all film and stage versions of Eastern harem and slave market scenes—even those pro- duced by the greatest directors— sought their inspiration from the paintings which reproduced the har- ems and slave markets of a thousand years ago, and which are not true to life in the twentieth century. In “‘Auction of Souls,” the produc- ers have broken with tradition and in stage setting, costume and action, have reproduced not a. conventional Arabian Night slave market and har- em scene, but nave taken as their mcdels these places as they actually exist today or did exist before the British entered Constantinople. they ravished Armenia in UNWRITTEN KNIFE LAW. That settle matters with a knife up in the Canadian northwest. It is an unwritten law of the country, where real law often falls short. How the knife plays its part in this wilderness region forms one .of the thrilling moments of Vitagraph’s new superfilm, “The Wolf.” Earle Williams is the star.” “The Wolf” will be shown at the Grand theatre on tonight and Sun- day. % Mr. Williams, playing the role of Jules Beaubien, a French-Canadian trapper, has occasion to invoke the law of the knife against a scoundrel from the States who has sought to ruin the trapper’s sweetheart. A dramatic duel ensues. . “Dangerous Nan McGrew,” is the title of the new two-part” Christie comedy featuring the noted comedienne Fay Tincher, which wil complete the program at the Grand.

You will notice that we have a very large ring when we stand in the outside meetings and we have a good many who are ‘desireous of becoming members-of our branch here in the near future. Also, Bemidji sells more War Crys here than many of the larger cities in this state. l}or instance, St. Paul sells 230 papers. We sell 300 and raised our quota while at congress to 350, which makes this city one of the banner corps in this province which is six states. | Come along to our meetings and you will not be disappointed.
