BROWNING’! 1S PICTURE OF MYSTERY An interesting story of mystery is the five-reel picture, ‘“The Myster- jous Mr. Browning,” which comes to the Rex theatre tonight. Walter Miller, Paul Panzer and Edna Mai- son are the stars and the action is laid in the underworld. ““The Mysterious Mr. Browning” is a story taken from real life. Some few years ago there was unearthed in Denver a case of a bank president leading a double life. By day a re- spectable business man, and by night a prowler in the underworld. The object of his night prowling and the necessity for his dual existence forms the mystery which is solved by the picture. Added attractions are Fox World's News and Dot Farley will be seen in a Rainbow comedy, “Oh! You East Lynn.” ALICE BRADY—GRAND TONIGHT.

The 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 FINDING “FIRE HAZARDS.” Since a certain committee on Chief Bailey’s inspection force accidently located two bottles of “hardware” in the basement ramblings of a certain two-story building, all want to be retained indefinitely on said committee. The ‘“good” news spread to other committees, and now they seent to be more active than before. One of the improvements noticed is that their search of basements and “fire hazards” is more thorough than before. Work is always more fascinating, when one expects to discover the unexpected. Keep the good work up, boys, make it thorough. 0 KINDLY SEND ADDRESS. An exchange remarks: “St. Paul Man Gives Valuable Address.” Will the exchange please forward the address to this department at the eatliest opportunity. The editor is looking for a place where he can obtain enough cash to buy a jitney for next summer. SR i R—, HITTING THE NAIL ON THE PROVERBIAL HEAD. A recent editorial in a daily metropolitan paper deplores the fact that we have too many lawyers in our law-making bodies. It was the Duluth Herald which made the statement, and a truer one has not been uttered by that died-in-the-wool democratic journal since its inception. First the lawyers make the laws and afterwards they collect fees, from the taxpayers who sent them there to make the laws, and often carry their cases to the supreme court of the state, to prove that they are unconstitutional. Yes, it’s a great system. 8 RS, Py s NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Everybody says he didn’t make money last year. And yet everybody’s been spending a lot of money. Where did it come from? Or is it all a delusion—a matter of credit—everybody trusting everybody else for every- thing ?—Crookston Daily Times. “Nobody is trusting nobody these days.” There never was a time in the history of the country when there was so little credit done, in fact 1. has been reduced to so low a figure that it is almost negligible. e THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR. Johann von Bernsdorff, he of odorous fame as ambassador to this country during the war, previous to our entrance, is named among the criminals demanded by the allies. Thank God. [ERS, S, WHO’S FOR HOOVER? There is much speculation of the “why” of the Hoover presidential boom, in the face of the unknown partisanship of his political predilections. All we can see in it is a stepping stone for the democratic party to sneak out from under the load of odium attached to it as a party in the misman- agement of the war.—Northern Light. P il i THE VITAL NERVE. . b " The wail, and it is long and loud, comes from North Dakota that under the Townley administration taxes have increased by leaps and bounds, and the load now is something hard indeed to bear up under. Minnesota surely- doesn’t want any of the Townley socialism—or any other kind of socialism.—Winnebago Enterprise. RS SR QUILLEN’S QUIPS. If Weinstein has done no other wrong, his name violates the Volstead act. A candidate’s interpretation of Americanism is something that will get votes. Yada informs us that relations between Japan and America are in danger. They wouldn’t be if China wasn’t in danger. A million alien laborers have departed since the armistice, and soon those who cursed_ the alien radicals will be crying for cheap help.

She urges him to settle down to some useful occupation, telling him there are more thrills to be found in ordinary life than in the African wilds. He refuses to believe her, but gives her an opportunity to prove her words. Adventures in rapid-fire order follow. The ending of the pic- ture is said to provide a startling surprise.
