Reticent to a marked degree, D. J. Moore of Bgmidji, familiarly known as “Dan,” has said little concerning his won- derful military career and it didn’t leak out until Lieut. Col. Stutz of the Sixth regiment of the Minnesota national guard recommended him for the captaincy of the new company of Bemidji, after investigating his merits to assume command of the unit. Before coming to Bemidji, Captain Moore served four gnd one-half years in the Wisconsin national guard. When the war broke he enlisted and was assigned to his former Wisconsin division and in three weeks landed in France, and was hustled to the front line trenches with his comrades, which helped -fight the decisive battles of the world’s conflict. He was wounded and gassed an dafter discharge from the hospital in less than two hours was in two of the most important engage- ments of .the great conflict, and he and his comrades were there at the Argonne when the armistice was signed. He won his commission as second lieutenant by capturing a bunch of 45 Huns unaided. He was with the first American troops of occu- pation in Germany and commanded a far reaching outpost, when transferred back to his former division and returned to his home country, taking his company back to its home town, and receiving his honorable discharge at Camp Grant. That is the type of young soldier manhood that Bemidji sent to the battle lines and the Sixth regiment of the Minne- sota national guard can well be proud of its company K of the Sixth regiment, for it contains the names of returned Legion men who made good “over there.” 5 RS W—— WAITED LONG TIME FOR THIS. There won’t be any immediate reduction in food prices by the dissolution agreement between the packers and the gov- ‘ernment, stated Attorney General Palmer to the senate agricul- tur committee. “There is great strength,” said Mr. Palmer, “in the argu- ment that these great concerns with their efficiency methods do handle business with less expense than many smaller units, but if so, that is efficiency gained by autocracy. “We shall have to depend on getting results in this ‘di- rection from competition, and if they are not obtained, then our whole theory of efficiency gained by democratic competition is wrong.” i d Well, we’ve been waiting long for that explanation. SYLPH OF THE SOVIETS SWAYS COPS. One of the most celebrated ‘characters of the bélshevik soviets in New ‘York has been tikéfi to Ellis Island to await deportation, she being Miss Anna’ 'M‘#’ns’on, age 24 years, known as the “sylph of the soviets.” Her arrest was made when the police made a raid on the Russian language paper Novy Mir. _So eloquent was a speech made by the “beautiful bol- shevik” at a police station where she expounded the doctrines of free thought, free speech, equal distribution of all wealth and free love, that her captors missed the regular ferry to . Ellis Island and she was escorted there individually by one of the police department’s most courtly detectives. Fr e “Rough on Reds” was one of the keynotes of the G. O. P. party regional conferencej held in Chicago Monday and Tues- qay, Minnesota being represented. That meets the approba- tion of a large majority of Minnesotans of both major parties.

Much of the action 'occurs out- doors, and Director Richard Stanton took full advantage of the situation to make his exterior scenes not only elaborate, but perfect in detail. The.story tells of a Southern beau- ty who falls in love with Checkers, the racé tout. He grooms a horse owned by the girl for a rich stakes, and in getting the horse to the race track encounters tremendous difficul- ties. His chase leads from the South to New York and through Chinatown. At the last minute, just before the race is to start, the jockey is mali- ciously bdlinded, and the young girl rides the horse to victory. It is one of the best and most stirring pictures in every respect seen h n somel time. = The all-star” cast headed by Thomas J. Carrigan and ‘Jean Acker give an evenly balanced performance. That thrilling mystery of romance and adventure, ‘featuring James J. Corbett, wul be seen ag a feature of this bill in his populd? eéries of the “Midnight Man.” It is a smashing Universal. g g = >, SUNDAY’S SPECIAL FEATURE. Anita Stewart in “Human Desire” ‘which will be shown at. the Rex ‘theatre, starting Sunday,thas the part of an Italian girl in a convent who daily brings lilies to lay in the arms of the Lrampinii Madonna, wonder- ing if there are real babies in the big world outside.” How she escapes to find out, and, besides babies, finds an American lover is told in st’ First National feature. L5 COMING TO THE REX. Mary Pickford in “Pollyanna” is coming to the Rex. This production is by her own company, booked by the United Artists corporation, and is adapted to.the screem from Eleanor H. Porter’s novel by.the same name. The screen adaption was by Francis Marion and the photoplay by Charles Rosher. $ ! PICKFORD—TONIGHT. ‘When asked what his receipt for a clever detective would be after his experience in rehearsing “The Dum- my,” which will:be seen at the Grand theatre tonight ‘only, Jack Pickford who is starring in this thrilling pho- toplay based on the great stage suc- cess by Harvey J. O’Higgins and Har- riet Ford, replied: *“‘Some one that has 90 per ccut nerve and 10 per cent bluff—and that will read every telegram in s‘ght under whatever pretext first comes into his head!” 5 ‘Mr. Pickford has faithfully por- trayed his own characterization of the boy ‘Barney” who through an inordinate love of detective stories, turns out to be a real detective, wins many laurels andG incidentally five thousand dollars for himself. Those who saw “The Dummy” will remember it as one of the most thrill- ing dramas that has appeared on the stage in generation. Briefly, it is the tale of a boy who pretgnds to be a deaf mute in order to assist a detective in the capturing of a band of kidnappers. The Grand theatre: agnohndes the showing tomorrow and {Sunday of “The Beast,” a William Fox produc- tion in which George Walsh is said to have made a tremendous hit in one of the most virile roles he has ever enacted. According to advance reports of the picture, it tells a story of a‘rough cowboy of the west, who sees a beautiful girl only to seek to possess her by caveman methods, and then to rise above the beast in him- self by a miracle that may come to a man but once in a lifetime. From the success this production has al- ready had elsewhere, it should win a big following Lere. ¢ “The Beast’” was both written and staged by Richarq Stantopgawhose tine: work as a Fox director -i* famliar:to |- all regular patrons of the motion picture. ‘“‘They’re Off, a Bill Par- son’s comedy, will also be’shown. e A A A e s m EXCHANGE EDITOR. By Cy Perkins, Jr. Interesting stories—real .and unreal—as told by the editors of the press of Northern Minnesota, retold, rehashed and commented on by this editor. ——— e ! “SPURLOS VERSENKT.” It is with a good deal of interest that we read the Lamberton Star of a recent issue, wherein that paper en- deavors to expose many of its citi- zens, who when the war broke out at- tempted to put the Star on the “hum- mer,” because of its staunch Ameri- canism. It should be borne in mind that Lamberton is populated by a predominant sprinkling of foreigners, and evidently the kind who believed more in the divinity of “Billy Hohen- zollern” than they did in the ‘“‘divine right of our free institutions.” Al- though two years have passed since then the Star is still fighting valiant= ly on, and in the issue of which we speak the star has one page devoted to spaces presumably occupied for- merly by merchants, who were at one time supporters of that paper, but now have been ‘‘spurlos versenkt.’”| It is a good fight and we hope the Star will come out with flying colors. » e GOOD LAWS FOR BAD EGGS. We are delighted to learn that eggs are now recognized as a pure food by the state laws. It is too bad, how- ever, that our state law makers did not so ordain it when it was within the reach of ordinary mortals to secure them. But perhaps that is just the reason why the law was never thought of before. —0— WHO SAYS S0 ¢ According to some exchanges Thomas Frankson is having some 1 trouble trying to make the editors of the northern part of the state think he will make good gubernatorial timber.
