Creating new records for attendance where- ever 'shown, and at increased prices, «“Earthbound” has pleased thousands of people, particularly in the east, and comes to Bemidji just two weeks after the sensational record run at the Blue Mouse theatre in Minneapo- 1is, and ahead of showing at Duluth and St. Paul. Special attention is directed to the time of starting the first show in the evening, Sunday, which com- mences promptly at 7:16, and pros- pective patrons are advised to be there at 7:15, partly .to get the full benefit of an unusual picture, and partly to assure themselves of a seat.

This he has decided upon ! ‘before coming' to the Trevor home to see his sweetheart for the last time. | He finds -her father desperate over the threatened failure of a big deal. Trevor asks Yale to lend him $300,-| 000 for three days. i Yale actually is penniless, having| squandered a fortune in pursuit of{ pleasure, and has made no effort to; prepare himself for a career.

(Spécial corresponfience)—As a result of the: labor sh}r?age particularly in agri- cultural districts -and the agitation against Japapese immigration on the Pacific coast, there has grown up. 8 very extensive demand for a restrict- ed plan for Chinese ' immigration. When the subjéct is first suggested to peox_fle who have not given it con- g:derat.lon the project often arouses ;xmm.edlate opposition, but when the details of the, ' plan ,are explained {many take asmore favorable view. ’;‘he plan is to enact a general law which will admit what is commonly known as ‘“coolie” labor when appl cation is made for such admission by land. ployment for the persons to be ad- imitted. ~Such applications would be subject to approval by a state official and also' by natiohal authorities. Ori- entals thus admitted would be requir- ed to return to their native country {not later than five years from the time of immigration. While in the W‘Umted States they would be requir- ed t_o carry at all times their cards of |dgntification showing their right to be in the United States, ' The theory of this plan is that it {would afford farmers a source of la- bor supply at a wage which they could afford to pay and a character soon after March 4.

B For many years he was an unusually success- ful pastor and stayed years in one church longer than is the custom with his denomination. Men loved him. He was felt'to be an asset to the ’ community life, and the community, regardless of church or creed, demanded that he stay. The only_reason he is not ministering to the same community today is because the larger field of the Lyceum and Chautanqua called him, and he has been giving of his best to it for several.years. * Not only is Mr. Robinson an eloquent and- forceful speaker with a worth-while message, but he has the knowledge and training to make it entertaining and interesting as 'well, and above all khows what the needs, and how to give it to them in a way that will make it “stick” and enable them to grasp His whole life’s work it with ease. _ { .
