L{}e “Flame of the Desert” and “The World and Its Women,” this drama oners Miss Farrar a role with thrilling situations and colorful at- mosphere. Lou Tellegen plays the supporting lead. This Goldwyn pro- duction was directed by Reginald Barker whose artistic productions have placed him in the fore-front of picture makers. “The Woman and the Puppet” will be shown Wednesday and Thursday at the Grana, « MOMENTEOUS MOMENTS AT THE PEACE TABLE The world's greatest mimic actor has stepped to the fore with a novelty offering that is destined to be the topic. of conversation wherever it is presented. No offering ever produced in vaudeville reaches the heighth of histerical interest, as well as showing us the foremost figures in the late world war. Momentous moments at the Peace Table is the title bestowed by Mr. Zimmerman on this really wonderful eoferirg, iz reeccrd os an inper- snnator of gren! men fi him most | ¢ for his dunlication of the hed dinlomats who delib- At the Peace Table.” In a nest e'thorste setting with a' dark red velvet plush drape as the back- gronnd, stands the Peace Table.

As he exits, Dr. Herman Von Mueller, the German premier, appears and without a word places his signature to the most fa- mous document in the world. As he fisappears our own Woodrow ‘Wilson, “Apostie of Democracy” enters and following a most eloquent speech signs his name as the representative of the United States. Then appears Lloyd George, ‘“The Wonder of England, who in a most patriotic speech calls attention to the fact that the Allied nations are in word and thought brothers in peace as they were brothers in arms. As he signs for England and her colonies “The Eastern Westerner,” a two part comedy featuring Harold Lloyd, is really a riot of fun—from the opening scenes in which Harold is ejected from a dance hall for “shimming” to the final fade out in the “Wooly West”—there is not one dull moment. STIGMA OF BIGAMIST H. B. Warner, the distinguished ac- tor whose screen productions have established him in strong public fa- vor, has another excellent picture in “For A Woman's Honor,” a Super- iorpicture made by Jesse D. Hamp- ton, which appears at the Elko the- atre tomorrow and Thursday. It is a thrilling drama of black- mail, Oriental intrigue and romance, with Warner 1n the role of a man who bore the stigma of bigamist to protect a woman’s honor. Marguerite DeLaMotte plays op- posite Warner, and makes a charm- ing heroine. Others in ihe cast are Carmen Phillips, John Gilbert, Hec- tor V. Sarno and Carl Stockdale. e A A A A A A A A A A A RELIC OF MEDIEVAL TIMES Sacred City of Mongolia Has But a Thin Veneer of the Clviliza- tion of Today. Urga, sacred city of the Living Bud- dha, lying far to the north of Mon- golia, is a relic of medieval times over- laid with a veneer of twentieth cen- tury civilization, and is a city of vio- lent contrasts and glaring anachron- fsms. It was used as a base of sup- plies by Roy Chapman Andrews, lead- er of the second Aslatic zoological ex- pedition of the American Museum of Natural History. Motor cars pass camel caravans fresh from the Gobi desert; holy la- mas In bright robes walk side by side with black-gowned priests and swarthy Mongol women in the fantastic head- dress of their race stare wonderingly at the latest fashions of their Rus- sian sisters, relates g correspondent ot the Detroit News. Thrée great races have met in Urga, and each carries on its own customs and way of life. The Mongol's felt-covered home "has remained unchanged ; the Chinese shop with its wooden counter and blue- gowned Inmates is still pure Chinese, and the ornate cottages proclaim tbemselves to be Russian. Men from all races and corners of his nervous mannerisms are perfectly impersonated. A% he departs there appears “An Old Friend” the civil war veteran who arrives at “The Peace Table” too late for action but still a fighter, as a fitting finale to this wonderful historical offering. Then appears our own General Jack Pershing, the man who did things and did them well. It is a patriotic offering that will be world wide in its effort to establish permanently the document signed ‘At the Peace Table’’. As an entertaining offering, the earth gamble together. Al Mon- golia lives on horseback, and a Mongol will never walk even a hundred yards if he can help it. Summer in Mon- golla 1s short at best, and in the win- ter the temperature drops to 50 and 60 degrees below zero, and the great plateau is swept by biting winds from the Siberian steppes.

Wi % In the four yedrs of his retirement, he seldom saw party leaders, Yet so strong was the reaction against the Republicans and so loud the call for him in 1892 that he returned in tri- umph to the White House. One of the periodical panics of the 19tk century smote the country with a fAnancial and industrial paralysis in 1893, only two months after the in- auguration. As usual, the party in power caught the blame, and day after day a leading Republican newspaper shouted in gleeful headlines: “Another bank gone Democratic!” As the first means of restoring con- fidence, Cleveland called a speclal ses- Grover Eleveland. slon of congress for the purpose of having it repeal the Silver act of the Harrison administration, The next day he submitted himself to the surgeon’s knife for the removal of a cancerous ulcer which had appeared in the roof of his mouth. His grave physical con- dition wss concealed from the panicky mind of the public, and the operation was performed In the closest secrecy aboard a yacht as it steamed slowly up | the East River, off New York. Not un- til many years had passed was it known that whken congress assembled he faced it with a rubber jaw. Under the pressure of the president, the Silver act was repealed, but only after a bitter struggle which left the Democratic party hopelessly split. The | passage of a tariff bill divided the par- ty still more. It was such a lobby- made, log-rolling measure that Cleve- land refused to sign it, but let it be- come law without his signature. After that tke Democrats went down in de- feat in the congressional elections of 1894. a In the depth of our domestic troubles the president sent his famousi Venezuelan message to congress, In it he announced that the British gov- ernment had rejected all our appeals for the arbitration of a land dispute which it was pressing in South Amer- |- ica, and he boldly proposed that we ourselves stould decide the question and then proceed to enforce our de- cision. o § Stocks tumbled headlopg in Lon- don and New York, and there was much wild talk on both sides of the Atlantic. But the president confidently reassured his troubled private secre- tary, “Thurber, this does not mean war; it means arbitration.” And that was the outcome of all the hubbub. Cleveland’s outburst of plain speaking had the effect of awakening tkbe Eng- lish people, as never before, to the val- ue of American friendship, and it opened a new era in the relations of the two governments. Cleveland's hardest, longest battle in his second administration was for the gold standard. Almost alone he upheld it through four years, abandoned by most of the Democrats and unaided by the gold Republicans in congress, whko were afraid of “hurting the party” with the silver people. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER DESERT HERO KNOWN TO FEW Dog That, With Its Master, Was Savior of 'Many Lives,’ Well Cared.For in Its Old Age. Rufus, the dog hero of the desert, who has saved many lives, is ending his declining days in a dog sanatorium at Pasadena, Cal, where he is well cared for. The end of the dog I8 not far off, says Our Dumb Animals in a recent issue. He Is spent and feeble after his many long and weary Journeys over the burning and blind- ing sands with his; pioneer master. He will no doubt soon fall asleep. Lou Westcott* Beck and Rufus were intrepid ploneers in a life-saving proj- ect that received scanty support and tardy recognition. Together they fared forth on their mission of mercy, Beck carrying signboards and cans of paint, Rufus laden with saddlebags of re- storatives and poison antidote. While | 1 the map set up the guideposts, or painted the water signs, the dog suc- cored many a prospector who other- wise would have died miserably from delirium of thirst or the venom of snake bites, The work of these two great bene- factors is over. Beck died in July, 1917, and since then the government has appropriated one hundred thou- sand dollars to carry on the project that he and his devoted dog started. Rufus will be well provided for by a veterinarian who was a personal friend of Beck’s. The old dog’s years of hardships, of life-saving service on the desolate wastes, are not without their reward. His many friends who used to see him on the streets and pat him with approval as he started out on his desert trips will not forget him in his old age. Leaders Must Pay Price. There's satisfaction in being able to do hard things. Weaklings have to be exceptionally insignificant if they can’t do something. Then there is a large class that can do many tkings indiffer- | ently. Those who can carry big loads and carry them well are few. To be in this select class appeals to most folks, but only the few really deserve place in it. And they do not land there without effort. Such honors are mat- ters of growth. Time and toil are the price paid for the advance. Beginning with what comes easy the wortLy ones become experts and then add to their sphere of achieving such things as na- turally fall In line with their endeav- ors. Then they grow without being really consclous of addged strength. That comes as a glad sarprise when some one calls attention to it Office. Allsteel office furniture is used by such firms as J. P.
