Only prompt federal action will save the Amer- ican eagle from extermination by bounty hunters. More than eight thousand eagles have been slaughtered along the coastal region and river valleys of Alaska alone since the Alaskan bounty law went into operation on April 30, 1917. The law provides for the payment of 50 cents for each bald or “American” eagle killed. In order to swell their gains, it is declared, bounty hunters are no longer limiting themselves to Alaskan territory but are reaching out into the British provinces adjoining Alaska in search of the rapidly disappearing eagle. It is even possible that by this time more than one-half—perhaps more than three-fourths—of the entire 'specien has been sacrificed and that within the next year or so there will be very few American eagles remaining alive with the exception of the scattered few to be seen, caged for lif like malefactors, in the zoo- logical parks. The bald eagle never has been an abundant species. Estimates of its numbers are said to have been greatly exaggerated. Up to the year 1917 the only territory where the bald eagle thrived was along the coastal region and large river valleys of Alaska. Here the American eagle built its nest and multiplied exceedingly for a bird of its size. Advocates of the Alaskan bounty law declared that the American eagle was destructive and that its PRESS COMMENTS-THATS ALL (By EXONANGE EDITOR) Slowing Down the Engine. A Kansas paper makes this humorous suggestion: “Yes, Bildad, there is a wey to suppress the auto- mobile speed fiend. It is through a law against the manufacture or sale of machines which would run more than twenty miles an hour. This would be fast enough for any legitimate need. It would save lives, save tires, save gasoline, and make auto- mobiles last three times longer. "It would also cause most of the spee dfiends to die of chagrin, a con- summation devoutly to be hoped for.”—Little Falls Transcript. REX TODAY “The Notorious Miss Lisle,” which comes to the Rex theatre today star- ring Katherine MacDonald, is an ac- curate picturization of the widely read novel by Mrs. Bailee Reynolds describing the romantic adventures of Gaenor Lisle who leaves England to avoid the notoriety of a big society scandal. In France Gaenor meets Peter Garsten, a tourist who knows nothing of her affair, and falls in love with her. On their honeymoon to Paris, Garsten meets a friend who tells him the story of his wife’s past. There follows an exciting trip across the English Channel and a gripping climax condition. REX SATURDAY One of the most thrilling western at the Rex theatre. It is an Aywon plays the leading role. Thruout the five reels there is plenty of action, highly dramatic scenes and some of the most thrill- ing stunts ever caught by the cam- era are shown in this drama of the old fighting west. The story concerns the efforts of “The Unknown Ranger” to round up a band of desperate opium smug- Rlers who are operating on the border line between the United States and (Mexico. It is ticklish business to go after such people and it was the duty of the young ranger to “get them.” How he accomplished this and at the same time won the girl of his heart is thrillingly told in “The Un- known Ranger,” the fiVe part special (t:a.ture to be shown at the Rex the- atre. ' CAN PERPETUAL YOUTH BE HAD BY REPLACING WORN ORGANS WITH FRESH ONES? With the transplanting of monkey glands into the human body advanc- ed by French surgeons as being a reliable elixer of youth, goat glands being established as the restorer of vitality by an American surgeon and numerous other cases of worn out parts of persons being replaced by the same parts of healthy animals, the science of rebuilding the human body by means of grafting is limit- ed only by the opportunity of experi- menting according to modical author- ities.

The war of ‘exter- mination followed and has been kept up ever since. The general indifference to the fate of the great bird of splendid tradition is due, beyond doubt, to the common lack of - information regarding its threatened extinction. The crusade for the bird’s protection should enlist the enthusiasm and sincere effort of bird lovers and bird students throughout the country, of our scientific and patriotic societies and of the public press. It is only by the prompt passage of a federal law protecting the American eagle that our national bird can be saved from total extinction. e e The issue of the Daily Grand Forks Herald reach- ing Bemidji Tuesday of this week contained a page and a half of feature story on the city. The Herald spared no pains in putting before its readers an excellent review of-the attractive features which makes Bemidji the widely advertised city it 'is. While we, of Bemidji, naturally think we have the finest city in the United States, it is not always possible to convince the press of other cities that we are not boasting and it really makes us feel good to know that outsiders look upon our city and see things as we see them ourselves. In other words it is assuring to be told we are not looking at our possessions through colored glasses, but that what we have can stand the penetration of the critical eye of the outsider. Of course we appreciate all the fine things said by the Herald. This is not the first time either that we have been the fortunate recipients of praise from this same source but withall we are not yet puffed up. Let us throw another little bouquet while we are are at it. There is no other paper in the northwest where so much Bemidji and Beltrami county news are printed, and the northwest editor of the Herald is to be complimented for his rare judgment in selecting real live news for its Northern Minnesota readers. Acknowledgment is made by the Herald in its article of the assistance rendered it by The Pioneer in gathering some of the material. The Pioneer is glad at any time to render any service it may be able to in the interests of Bemidji in presenting information or news either for its readers at home ‘or abroad. . g If Marshal Foch postpones his visit to the United States ‘“until the European situation permits,” there need be no undue haste in making prepara- tions for his reception. —_—— e A Los Angeles man aged 100 has taken out a license to wed a woman aged 72.
