LOCAL OPTIMIST PEEPS INTO FUTURE. ‘At the weekly noonday session of the Bemidji association on Wednesday, the secretary read a communication in which writer evidently had his ear upon the sound of state di- %on,‘which he believes is a matter of only a few years The name of the writer is a matter of conjecture, suggesting that Bemidji sound but already he is the slogan as the site of the new capitol when the expected ‘happens. The suggestion .is as follows: Do you know that the state of Minnesota will be divided some day? Maybe inside of five years, maybe twenty years. But the interests of the nc are distinct, and the division is of the north and south parts of the state sure to come. Tn such a case are you aware of the advantage of Bemidji as the proper site for a state capitol? R Drawnig a line east and west across the state somewh_ere between St. Cloud and Little Falls, Bemidji is the geographical center of the northern half of the state." Bemidji is the railroad center of the northern section, and easily accessible from any part of the new state, with railroads running north, east, south and west. . Located on Lakes Bemidji and Erwin, Bemidji is the most beautiful spot. Why not start at once care of this matter? the right pfopaganda for taking Bemidji is noted for progressiveness and earnest work in advancing its interests. Let us get after this before others think of it. Let us be the early bird. : Why not have our letter heads and envelopes printed, “Bemidji, Northern Minnesota,” to make the people ask, “What’s the idea?” 0- 328,21'0 OF ROAD FUND ALLOTED BELTRAMIL Allotments have been made for state roads in various counties of the state, according to an announcement made by C. M. Babcock, 'state highway commissioner. The allotments were made by the state treasurer, state auditor and state high- way commissioner.. The allotment is for the present year, and Beltrami county -i8 to receive $28,210 of the state road and bridge fund, which totals $1,935,000, slightly lower than last year’s appropriation. Clearwater county will receive $19,350 and Koochiching will get $22,000. Beltrami fared better than a large number of counties throughout the state. PEIILL AL . William Bross Lloyd, a millionaire socialist of Chciago, and 35 others of the communist party have been arrested and indicted by a special grand jury called for an investigation on a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the government, in viola- tion of the Illinois syndicalism act. A million cuts little ice with some persons being disloyal and the government is not 80 particular itself lately. P R We notice in a dispatch from Childress, Texas, that four men are dead at Memphis, six effects of drinking hair tonic, miles from Childress, from the said to have contained wood alcohol. There were ten who imbibed the deadly stuff and six are reported recovering. Another case of wooden heads. — {| NEWSOF THE | THEATERS o= - WILL NOT REVEAL PLOT OF “THIRTEENTH CHAIR” As there can be no suspense in a murder mystery when the climax is divulged, the management of the Grand theatre, which will present the great melodrama, “The Thirteenth Chair,” tonight and Sunday, refuses to teil anything about the story other than that it is. written by Bayard 'vel author of “Within the Luw,” adapted for the screen and directed by Lecnce Perret, and enacted by a splendid cast headed by Yvonne Delva and Creighton Halle and including Marie Shotwell, Christine Mayo, Marc MecDermott, Walter Law, Suzanne Colbert and George Deneumourg. To say that “The Thirteenth Chair” is a story that attempts to find the murderer of a man at a spiritualistic | True to seance, during which the man seek- ing the murderer is killed in the same manner as the first, gives you some idea of the possibilities of the story for tenseness and mystification. To add greater mystery to the situation, « there was someone present each time, but no actual witnesses to the deed. A young girl, who turns out to be the supposedly lost daughter of the clairvoyant, is one of the many who are suspected of the crime. “The Shimmy Gym,” the second of the new two-part Cuckoo comedies, will also be shown. - \ WHEN CHANGING IDENTITY. When a person wishes to change his or her identity and lose them- selves from former acquaintances, they invariably cling to the initials of their own name. The new name adopted, almost invariably possesses the initials of the old. This habit comes into play in Vita- graph’s picture, “The Winchester Woman,” in which Alice Joyce is star. ‘The picture will be shown at the Grand theatre on Monday and Tuesday. ». Miss Joyce plays the role of a woman who is forced to change her name and seek new surroundings. the human failing, she adopts a name with her old initials. MARY PICKFORD IN. “POLLYANNA.” REX TONIGHT When Eleanor H. Porter wrote “Pollyanna,” thus strumming the heartstrings of the people with the magic of her genius, she little real- ized that she was creating an ideal veliicle for the world’s greatest mo- tion picture actress. Yet that is exactly what this ap- pealing novel has proved to.be, and in the film version released by the United Artists Corporation, to be shown at the Rex theatre tonight, Sunday and Monday, Mary Pickford paints in black and white the most pathetic, adorable, lovable Polly- anna that. could possibly be con- ceived. . There is a depth of feeling in her characterization that reaches out and grips the heart. “'The humor, the pathos, the genuine humanness that she puts into her work in this pic- ture add the largest and by Iar the most brilllant jewel to her already sparkling crown of success. Undoubt- edly Mary Pickford’s Pollyanna will linger long in the memories of those who follow the Flicker Art. Paul Powell, who directed this film, has shown himself thoroughly familiar with construction and tech- nique. His handling of the cast is all that could be asked, and has re- sulted in rounding this offering into a perfect picture. PETROVA—TUESDAY. Madame Petrova will come to the Rex next Tuesday in a “Daughter of ! Destiny,” the story of a great love, a drama of a big theme, big emotion- al moments, done in a big way, with this famous star at her best. Madame Petrova, whose recent stage career and photoplay successes are familiar to every theatre goer in this, her adopted country, was born in the' historic city of Warsaw, Poland. Her father was English, her mother a native of Poland. “TOYS OF FATE.” ‘What, are any of us, except toys of fate? “That’s what a man says when he is “blue,”—when things will not'go right—when destiny. it- self seems to balk him in every effort. Well, that is the way it is with Azah, the fascinating gypsy pringess in “Toys of Fate,” in which the great Russian artiste, Nazimova, stars at the Rex next Wednesday and Thurs- day. When there seems to be no way out—when misery has taken posses- sion of her soul—then comfort with its healing power revives and re- freshes, and love gladdens her. UNCERTAIN BUSINESS.
