H H YHE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WHAT’S WRONG: WITH WOMEN? . AT_,THE GRAND WEDNESDAY The eternal battle of the sexes, raging from the very dawn of the human race is the theme of Daniel Carson Goodman's dramatic and pro- phetic photoplay “What’s Wrong -~ With The- Women?”" which opens its ~grigagemént ‘of two days at;the Grand ‘theatre Wednesday.. .. “What's Wrong With Thé: Wo-| men?” is not unkind to womanhood. It is in no sense a sermon or 'pro- paganda in behaif of mere man. Bt it reveals the modern woman in all her strength and weaknesses and shows by meang of a tremendously ;dramatic human story how a woman in the present high-powered era of jazz and boot-leggers can best serve society. In the cast are suech noted 5NE -, 0 \}\ & —(Continued from last Issus)' players as Wilton Lackaye, Rod La Rocque, Barbara Castleton, Monta- gue Love, Huntley Gordon , Juli Swayne Gordon, Constance Bennett Hedda Hopper and Mrs. Oscar Ham merstein. - R.

Turning, he ex- pected to see the Indian, but instead, a slight shadow, pale, almost white, stood there, not close nor yet distant. It seemed to brighten. Then he saw a woman who resembled a girl he had seemed to know long ago. She was white-faced,’ golden-haired, and her lips were sweet, and her eyes were turning black. Nell! He had forgot- tenher. Over him flooded a torrent of memory. There was tragic woe in this. sweet face. Nell was holding out | her arms—she was crying aloud to him across the sand and the cactus and the lava. She was in trouble, and he had been forgetting. That night he climbed the lava to the topmost cone, and never slipped DESERT GOLD Y ZANE GREY Sathor of Riders of the Purple Sage. " — PAGE FIVE Belding, but not by any means wholly accountable for his worry and unhap- piness and brooding hate. He be- lieved Dick Gale and the rest of the party taken into the desert by the Yaqui had been killed or lost. Two months before a string of Mexican horses, riderless, gaddled, starved for grass and wild for water, had come to Forlorn River. They were a part of the horses belonging to Rojas and his band. Their arrival complicsted the mystery and strengthened convie tions of the loss of both pursuers and pursued. Belding’s unhappiness could hardly be l2id to material loss. He had been rich and was now poor, but change of fortune such as that could not have made him unhappy. Something more somber-and myster; and sad than the loss of Dick Gele and their friends had come into the lives of his wife and Nell. He dated the time of this change back to 2 in day when Mrs. Belding recogni: in the clder Chase an old schoo! ro thorn. A voice had called to him. He saw Nell’s eyes In the stars, in the velvet blue of sky, in the blackness of the engulfing shadows.” She was with him, a slender shape, a spirit, keeping step with him, and memory was strong,’sweet, beating, beautiful. Far down in the west, faintly golden with light of the sinking moon, he saw a cloud that resembled her face. A cloud on-the desert horizon! He gazed and gazed. Was that a spirit face like the one by his side? No—he did not dream. a In' the hot, sultry morning Yaqui appeared at camp, after long hours of absence, and he pointed with a long, dark arm toward the west. A bank of clouds was rising above the mountain barrier. “Rain!” he cried; and his sonorous voice rolled down the arroyo. Those who heard him were as ship- wrecked mariners at sight of a dis- tant sail. Dick Gale, silent, grateful to the depths of his soul, stood with arm over Blanco Sol and watched the transforming west, where clouds of wondrous size and hue piled over one another, rushing, darkening, spreading, sweeping upward toward that white and glowing sun. “Oh! I felt a drop of rain on my face!” cried Mercedes; and, whisper- ing the name of a saint, she kissed | her husband. Ladd, gaunt, old, bent, looked up at the maelstrom of clouds, and he said, softly, “Shore we'll get in the hosses, an’ pack-light, an’ hit the trail, an’ make night marches!” Then up out of the gulf of the west pall and terrible flashes of lightning and thunder like the end of the world —fury, blackness, chaos, the desert storm.

He comfortable and Inspiring in the 'welght of the big gun against his hip. He faced the ‘door a8 if to go out, but ' hesitated, and then began a slow, ploddfng walk up and down the length of the room. Presently he halted at the table, and with reluctant hands he unbuckled the gun belt and laid it down. | The action did not have an air of finality, and Belding knew fit. He had been a sheriff when the law in 'the West ‘depended on a quickness of ‘wrist; he had seen many a man lay down his gun for good and all. His own action was not final. Of late he had done the same thing many times, and this last time it secmed a little ! harder to do, & little more Indicative of vacillation.

It took time for slow! thinking Belding to discover anything’ wrong in his household, but gradually he had forced on him the fact of some secret cause for grief other than Gale's ‘toss. He was sure of it when his wife signified her desire to make a visit to her old home back in Peoria. A letter she had received contained news that may or may not have been authentic; but it was enough, Belding thought, to interest his wife. An old prospector had returned to Peoria, and he had told relatives of meeting Robert Burton at the Sonoyta oasls fifteen years before, and that Burton had gone into the desert never to re- turn. ' To Belding this was no sur- prise, for he had heard that before his marriage. There appeared to have been no doubts as to the death of his wife’s first husband. - The singular -thing -Was-that both Nell's father and grandfather had been lost somewhere in the Sonora desert. Belding did not oppose his wife's desire to visit her old home. He thought it would be a wholesome trip for her, and-did all in his power to persuade Nell to accompany her. But Nell would not go. It was after -Mrs. Belding’s depar- tufe that Belding discovered in Nell a condition of mind that amazed and Aistressed him. She had suddenly be- came strangely wretched. She would tell him nothing. But after a while, when he had thought It out, he dated this deplorable change in Nell back to a day on which he had met Nell with Radford Chase. This indefatiga- ble wooer had not in the least aban- doned his suit. A slow surprise gath- ered upon Tom Belding when he saw that Nell, apparently, was accepting young Chase's attentions. At least, she no longer hid from him. Belding could not account for this, because he was sure Nell cordially despised the fellow. And toward the end he di- vined, if he did not actually know, that these Chases possessed some strange power over Nell, and were us- ing it. —a hate he had felt at the first and had manfully striven against, which now gave him over to dark brooding thoughts. Midsummer passed, and the storms came late. ‘But when they arrived they made up for tardiness. Beld- ing did not remember so terrible a storm of wind and rain as that which broke the summer’s drought. The Chases had extended a main farm, skipped the width of his ground, then had gone on down through Altar valley. They had exerted every influ- -ence to obtain right to connect these ditches by digging through his land, but Belding had remained obdurate. He refused to have any dealings with them. It was therefore with some curlosity and suspicion that he saw a gang of Mexicans once more at work upen these ditches, e : (f}ontlnnu In Nex: Issue) — 2 Exile S Father Dominte, famous Irish chaplain ‘to the late Lord Mayors MacSwiney and MacCurtin, has arrived in New York after his banishment from Ireland by the Free State gov- ernment.

Consumption in the United States last year was 20,000,000 pounds greater than in 1920. Pro- duction in 1921 totalled more more than 1,500,000,000 but despite this huge amount, some butter was im- ported. Every, man woman and child in the country eats about 20 poundg of butter a year on the aver- age. I e Record breaking crops of potatoes were raised in 16 countrics of the world this year. The total produc- tion was 675,000,000 bushels more than last year and 400,000,000 more than the average production during the five year period, 1909-13. The potato. growing area ot the world is estimated in excesg of 20,000,000 acres. Lower prices for potatoes during the winter are predicted by the Department.
