This means two policemen serving at one time to px.'otegtl a city of 8,000 people, or, using a little more mathematics, it/ means one policeman for a population of four thousand. We!solomons, in the Southern Pacific, again admit our ignorance with regard to whether there are any, towns with a population of four thousand who are getting along | with one policeman in the day ti me and one at night or not, but; we do know that that is not enough. We also know that two, policemen on duty at once for a city of eight thousand people is’ i | not enough.

We have been told that su not appear in the paper as it is bad advertising for the city. We don’t see it that way. The news reaching the outside commu- nities regarding the law violations is advertising the city plenty as it is, without the paper, and we would rather do the advertis-| ¥ ing ourselves than have it done by outsiders for it .at least would show that we know our shortcomings if we are not remedying them. No citizens of Bemidji, at heart, are going to criticize the administration of the city for adequately protecting its citizens. inals are collecting in the city and too many are getting away It may be some Bemidji citizens who are doing some of the dirty work. Severely or more so than outsiders. with their depredations. Let’s get behind our police criticism and let us tell the alderman of our ward that we want better police protection and make the city free from undesir- ables so that men or women need not be atraid to walk our streets anywhere in the city unafraid of being molested. If we are to be told by highwaymen what we are to do and what not it is about time we were having for us. NEWS THIS WEEK'’S VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM AT GRAND FRIDAY Thomas and Wilson, “The Ginger iSnaps,” a lively pair of colored com- edians, open the regular Friday vaudeville show at the Grand theater this week, with rapid comedy talk, songs and some peppy step-dancing. Miss Wilson displays some beautiful gowns and a fine voice, while Mr. Thomas is,a comic of rare abilities and makes a hit with his song “He's in the Jail House Now.” Ruth Page and Co., are billed a The Novelty Girl and, with banjo assisted by Lou Ruben in a scenec, electrical and in- strumental extravaganza, featuring special scenery, and lighting eff Banjo numbers, and songs are also in- troduced. Budd Schaeffer is a comedian of the real “nut” type and the original ‘way he has of entertaining has au- dience amuses both the grown ups and the children. The Omega Trio close the bill in “Omegaisms.” which are for laugh- ing purposes only. Something out of the ordinary that must be seen to be appreciated. *‘White Youth"” with Edith Roberts is the photoplay which will precede the vaudeville u performance at performances at day only. both the afternoon 0 and the UNIQUE BOSWORTH VEHICLE IS “A THOUSAND TO ONE” A photoplay of contrasts is Hobart Bosworth’s latest J. Parker Read. Jr., starring vehicle A Thousand to One” which comes to the Grand theater Saturday and Sunday, under the aus- Pices of the Associated Producers, Inc. The atmospheric detail—the star’s characterization and the locale of the story are a series of contrasts. Bosworth is first the dilettante and ‘waster, spending his nights in the ‘haunts of San Francisco’s China- town. Then he is the outcast—the wanderer in the mining camps and finally the man regenerated—brought ‘back into his own by the one chance in a thousand! Heretofore, Hobart Bosworth has been happily identified with sea stories and it is a bit unusual to find him 'in evening clothes—but variety is the spice of amusement and this *favorite of stage and screen offers| OF THE THEATRES ny other place for that matter,: violated and the evidences last| ch expressions as these should who have the good of the city Altogether too many crim- If it is, they should suffer as department with aid instead of the highwayman pay our taxes “ a brilliant example of his versatile talent in his new vehicle.

Lee has covered himself with glory as the director of this Bos- worth screen play. “THE DEVIL'S GARDEN" AT REX BEGINNING THURSDAY | “The Devil's Garden,” in which! Lionel Barrymore will be seen at the Rex Theater, beginning Thursday is the second of a-series of four special motion pictures in which the distin- guished actor will star during the! present cinema season. Associated First National Pictures, Inc., will re- lease all of these productions, made ! under the personal supervision of Whitman Bennett and directed by | Kenneth Webb. *“‘The Master Mind" ‘was the first and has already .been re- leased. The third will be a screen| version of Arnold Bennett's ““The' Great Adventure” and the fourth “Jim the Young. Penman,” by Sir Douglas | “FLAME OF YOUTH"” AT THE REX LAST TIMES TONIGHT Shirley Mason leaves the Rex the- ater after tonight's performances of her remarkably successful photoplay, “Flame of Youth,” which has drawn crowded houses. Produced by Wil-' liam Fox, “Flame of Youth' is prob- ably the best vehicle Miss Mason's unique talents have had, and it has greatly widened her already large circle of “famns”. The play, ably di- rected by Howard M. Mitchell, deals with the romance of a little Belgian peasant girl, a Parisian art- ist and a peasant lover.
