If you are a failure, if you are unhappy and despopdent, you may see the person who is most to blame by stepping to the looking-glass! , J It’s sad, but true! ’ When you begin to succeed you may put n:.dqwn as a sure thing that you have commenced to believe in yourself. Through the principle of auto-suggestion you are constantly urging yourself on to greater achievement or defeating your aims, to the extent that you have faith in yourself or lack it. Wrapped up in that wonderful brain of yours you have all the potential ability which you need with which to succeed in any undertaking that is possible of accomplishment. You are the only person on earth who can cut the fetters which bind that force and withhold it from use. The thoughts which you hold in your own mind are being constantly registered in the minds of those with whom you come in contact. This is a scientifically proven fact. Can you not see, then, how necessary it is for you to think well of your- self? Can you not see why you ought to believe in your ability to accomplish all that you undertake. The line which marks the difference between the successful and the unsuccessful man is definite and easily removed. One believes he can do all that he undertakes and goes ahead and does it; the other one believes he cannot accomplish anything, so he never begins! If you want to witness a marvelous transformation in your- self, commence now and for ten days stand before a mirror for ten minutes each day, look yourself squarely in the eyes and say: “I believe in you; you can finish everything you start; you can induce people to like you; you can get people to favor you by first favoring them; you can win people’s confidence by plac- ing your confidence in them.” The result will be startling.— Copyright 1H9, Hill’s Golden Rule Magazine. COMPANY K, SIXTH REGIMENT, ANSWERS “HERE.” When Bemidji boosters got right down to business of resruiting a state guard company they met the heartiest co- operation, and instead of securing the necessary 100 quota they went over for 110 returned service soldiers and marines, business men and husky young men eligible for membership. Bemidji’s returned marines enlisted to a man. When Lieut. Col. Stutz of the Sixth infantry wired to in- dividuals in Bemidji and asserted that another city had secured the hundredth man for the company proposed for that town and was awaiting to hear from Bemidji, it was like touching a match to a skyrocket and it was a good impersonation of the action of the rocket that local boosters for the company gave, for the quota was secured in bunches, every man well known THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER cluding Forrest Stanley, as leading man; Vera Sisson, Mollie McConnell, Hugh Huntley and James Neill. A “Big V” two part edy is on the same program. PARAMOUNT-ARTCRAFT SPECIAL A story of tense interest, so con- structed by Roy Somerville as to keep expectation constantly on edge and further enhanced by good direction and a remarkably fine cast, “The Teeth of the Tiger’ ranks high as an entertainfnent of its kind. David Powell as Arsene is quietly effective. Marguerite Courtot ailds him with keen appreciation of all that is to be made of the heroine. She is a fas- cinating personality throughou. The minor characters are intrusted to duch experienced actors as Riley Hatch, Templar Saxe, Chas. L. Mac- Donald and Myrtle Stedman. A fas- cinating detective story, “The Teeth of the Tiger,” is a top-notch Para- themount- Artcraft special product, which will be the feature attraction at the Elko Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. DOUG. FAIRBANKS—TONIGHT. Douglas Fairbanks, with all his “peppy”’ agility and enthusiasm, will apear tonight only at the Grand theatre, in a return showing of “The Man From Painted Post,” a story in which the east comes west, and Douglas as a raw tenderfoost, is thor- oughly initiated into the brotherhood of the true western cattleman. Speed and ‘“‘pep” prevail throughout the play which is considered as being one of the best he has ever appeared in. Hald Lloyd, who’s popularity as a comedian is gaining by leaps and bounds, will be shown in “Spring Fever” a comedy of the better class. LAST TIME TONIGHT “THE BEAUTY MARKET” Scandal mongers make full use of an innocent and thoughtless act of Amelie Thorndike when she walked from her rooms into the apartme_nt of Captain Kenneth Laird. An in- spired article in “The Tattler,” sets society tongues to wagging and be- fore she knows it, her engagemeng is broken and she is threatemed with disgrace. ) This is the situation that contronts Katherine MacDonald '@s Amelie Thorndike in *“The Beauty Market,” her latest production for First Na- tional Exhibitors’ Circuit and which will be showd at the Rex for the last time tonight. Declared by critics to be the mc_'st beautiful woman in the world, Miss MasDonald’s part in this production affords her the opoprtunity ol ner. screen career for a joint display of her remarkable beauty and histronic ability. L Driving home a lesson that society sham and ‘‘four flushing’” must be expiated in the end by paying tor everything gained. o MARY PICKFORD COMES - TOMOBROW—TH%EE DAYS Critics everywhere assert that “Pollyanna” is one of the greatest picture plays ever filmed. The rea- son for this is that the philosophy upon which the story is based con- stituted a“theme which at the pres- ent time has an unusually wide ap- peal. This production will be the feature at the Rex theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with characteristic far-sightedness , had this in mind when she chose this |celebrated work as her firgt vehicle and a splendid specimen, nearly every one schooled in military service. : ) The Sixth can be proud of its new Company K. 1 TR S CO-OPERATIVE SHIPPERS TO MEET IN ST. PAUL. The Minnesota Central Co-operative Livestock Shippers association will hold its annual meeting in St. Paul on January 28 and 29. A short course will be held the first day in the pavilion at South St. Paul. Comparative values of livestock types will be studied. Difficulties encountered by shipping as- sociations will be discussed. The program for the second day will be presented at the Old Capitol with addresses by R. J. Wells, of the state railroad and warehouse commission, and S. R. Doty of Chicago, representing the United States bureau of markets. s I The Northwestern Telephone company has issued a badly needed Bemidji phone directory, which will save a whole lot of cussin’ on the part of those who have been in the habit of calling a number and being informed that it has been changed. It would seem that under the sky high priges inducted by Burle- son that a directory could be issued oftener, or changes and new subscribers added in supplementary slips. .spiendid cast, NEWS OF THE including such well- known players as Marie Shotwell, : Marc McDermott, Christine Mayo, | Waiter Law, Suzanne Colbert and { il George Deneubourg.

KILLED IN “THIRTEENTH CHAIR” “Who killed Spencer Lee?” in- quired Edward Wales. Then came a groan out of the dark and the thud of a falling body, and he lay dead, killed in the same manner as Lee. If this murder happened to a man sitting in the thirteenth chair PRACTICAL JOKERS VICTIM. Was ever an engaged pair without at least one practica ljoking relative —zgenerally male—who never loses an opportunity to ‘kid” the lovers and play all sorts of tricks on them? for the United "Artists” Cofporation. There is a great craving at the present time on the part of the pub- lic, according to best informed show- men, for something more than mere entertainment. Such a story is “Pollyanna,” with its cheerful philosophy of gladness. It is believed that this production, coming at a time when the country is upset by a period of readjustment, will have an unprecedented recep- tion from the picture patroms. Miss Pickford points out in this story that even when things are bad REX Theatre Coming “Toys of Fate,” featuring the great Nazimova. “Oh, Boy!” in the film musical comedy. “Destiny,” starring Mme.

This thought, planted in the minds of people who are dissatisfied with wage conditions, or who think they are not getting a fair price for their goods, will tend to stimulate a line of mental activity which wil result in stabilizing condi- tions. The most progressive of the pic- ture stars believe in choosing plays, wherever possibl,e which will act as a propaganda of good. It is their ambotion to-have a screen medium serve a definits purpose, and with this in mind Mary Pickford decided to picturize Eleanor H. Porter’s famous book. So “Pollyanna” is a picture with a mission. Subscribe for The Pioneer. TODAY .
