The character demanded both splendid physical prowess and attractive per- sonality. Mr. Pollar who was, to be exact, the 285th man interviewed, had just returned from nineteen months in service abroad. From a view: of the picture which will come to the Orpheum theatre beginning tonight, it appears that there isn’t a dare in the whole world of stunts that he won't grab and grin at. If you have seen/the other Tarzan pictures then do not fail to see the latest by Edgar Rice Burroughs. 150 Boys’ Suits 1-2 price. “Bergeson.” >) Night, Elks Hall.

Tree Provides Burglar Alarm ,te Keep Thieves Away. /IS ALL AROUND PROVIDER Coconut Palm Furnishes Natives With Nearly All the Necessities of Life and ‘Has,as Many Uses as There Are Days in the Year—Nut! When Green Is Food;and Drink— By-Products Ate Valuable. _ For the ‘coconut palm are found more uses than for perhaps any other tree in the world, says the American Forestry association of Washington This tree booms like a gun wher blooming and provides the “apple jack” of the tropics for the natives as well as its own burglar alarm to keep thieves away from its fruit. It is said by the people whom it furnishes with nearly all the necessaries of life that it has as many uses as there are days ‘in the year; but that seems to be an for surely 365 days necessities‘ would never meet the de mand of a modern up-to-date man or woman of the temperate zone. The coconut palm is a magnificent tree often reaching a height of 100 feet and crowned with wide-spreading fronds often 20 feet in length. The frond consists of a strong mid-rib which terminates in long slender leaf- lets, giving the entire frond the ap- pearance of a gigantic feather. Among the massive leaves growing from the main stem is the fruit, usually in clus- ters of from ten to twenty nuts, frota eight to twelve inches’ in length and from six to eight inches. in diameter. * Original Habitation Not Known. ‘This palm is so generally spread over the tropical world that its. original habitation is not known, the American Forestry Magazine points out. It luxuriates in the.sea air and abounds along the east and west coasts of southern India. The west coast of Ceylon from Colombé southward for over one hundred miles is a dense wilderness of coconut palm -planta- tions. The Malay peninsula is fringed with. these graceful trees. They are everywhere over both the Must and West Indies and. tropical America. The huge triangular nuts are water- proof, as though made to navigate the seas and reach every shore, which they surely have done, for on every | {sland and coral islet, of the Pacitic ocean they are found. They reach their greatest vigor: by the sea; on the seashore they lean towards the water as though to send their seed adrift for other lands. The spathe or flower case is of a hard woody substance from four to five’ feet in Jength, and when this case bursts to release the blossom It is Nike the report of a gun. These huge flower cases are tapped at the base for the sweet sap they contain. “he sap is boiled down into an excellent sugar; it is fermented into arrack, the apple- Jack of the tropics. Food and Drink. The nut when green is food and drink; when ripe, its husk yields the céie fiber from which mats, ropes cofdage, brushes and woven coir mat- ting are made. The inner hard shell is made into cups, dippers and other ves- sels; the kernel ig the copra of com- merce used in making confections. From it the valuable commercial prod- uct called \coconut oil is pressed, and from the ofl candles, butter and soap are made. An average yield of a tree is 60 nuts. A thousand nuts will pro- duce 25 gallons of oil. The climate of Ceylon is well adapted to all kinds of palms and embraced in her many plantations there are said to be over 30,000,000 trees. The wealth of the Ceylonese is usually estimated by the number of co- conut trees they own. Native boats from the’ Maldize islands sometimes arrive in Ceylon, built, rigged, pro- visioned and Iaden with the produce of the coconut palms. A. shipwrecked crew was cast upon the South Sea is- lands where the party remained for several months living solely on coco- nuts and a little broiled fish; when they returned they had all increased in weight. By-Product Valuable. The by-product is oil-cake which is of great value the Forestry Magazine adds. The trunks of the trees are ‘used for innumerable purposes besides house building and furniture, and the wood in Europe is. called porcupine wood because of the vascular growth resembling the quills of that animal. Mature coconut& fall from the trees; but planters cannot always. wait for tHem to fall, and there is no pole or ladder to reach 100 feet; climbing is the only way, and coconut: tree climb- tng is a trade in coconut countries. Professional tree-elimbers have speed and agility of monkeys. To facilitate the operation they place a strong loop of coir rope around the feet near the ankles; this enables them to grip the tree securely and ascend the highest trees with amazing alac- rity. Coconuts being the native wealth, coconut thieves are not uncommon. The owners of plantations have a unique system of thief alarm; dry fronds are bound to the tree from the ground upwards for about twenty feét; and itis impossible for the thief to remove or climb over these wifh- out making a great. no#se which arouses the watcliman who is never far away. ia? as Lunch served at noon at the Elks Hall, Friday, by the Epis- copal ladies.

From Higk School “Pep” The high school paper “Pep” has the follownig to say regarding a com- munity building for young people: Bismarck needs a building where |young people can get together for a ,good time. This building or these ;¢lub rooms, as they may be called, “should have a reading room with the ‘latest fiction and practical books and ;Magazines, where a person could read r write in quiet. It should have a “get-together” room where evryone could meet to have a good time. This could be-secured in various popular ways. A good gymnasium would be a great asset to the club and connected with the “gym” should be a room for jfoller-skating. The gymnasium could be used for dancing and various ath- ‘letic contests. In the winter a good skating rink should be provided for part of the outdoor fun. Besides this the young people could meet here to plan for skiing and sleighing parties. In the summer they could have hikes and picnfes. The jthe future citizens s they will not remain in a ¢ ‘motion pictures are the only amuse- ment offered. \ Dancing _ Class, Night, Elks Hall.

AMERIGANS “ARE TAKING PART Everything Conceivable Foreign Lands Is Exbi Revert to Bantering—Extension of Foreign Trade Planned, for Parisi—French fairs of today have reached the proportion of expositions and have proved to be the best means of attracting buyers, The steady growth of the Lyons, Bordeaux and Paris ‘fairs has not only created world- wide interest in them, but has added to the importance | of international trade, Americans are participating’ in them more aqd more, and at the last Lyons | fair ‘there were about 100 American’ exhibitors, in striking con- trast to the dozen that displayed mer- chandise at the fyst one, There has also been a corresponding increase In the number of American bu, “Por those who are w with the French fnirs. pondent at Puris, “it may not be to state that the one at Lyons fs held in the spring and fall, the one at Bordeausyin the early summer and the one at Paris in ‘the late spring.

Just how far-reaching this move- ment will be it Is difficult to forecast. At any rate, it will give permanence to these international market places, and like the former fairs at Lelpzig and Nijni Novgorod will’ permit. the display of the finished products of the respective territories. “One of the greatest) advantages, however. will probably be the offering of unusual facilities for thé bartering of merchandise, Whether /it may be admitted or not. the basic require, ments of civilization in many countried are practically unobtainable owing to the disparity of exchange.

Frank Rufus Pendleton, first ofli of the freight steamer Andra, is handy with the pen and finds it easy to keep the log in rhyme.
