Miss Dalton is seen as a dancer, who, because of her energy in "trimming" the miners, is called "The Idol of the North." The miners seek revenge on her by forcing her at the point of a gun to marry Martin Bates, dere lict drifter to the Northwest. She suc ceeds in not only making a man of him, but actually loving him.

I "THE LOVE CHARM" AT ELKO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW The pitiful lot of the poor relation! How many a tear-blotted volume I might be written on that topic! Wan jda Hawley would soften even the flintiest heart with th "poignant chap ter which has been written around lone such impecunious young woman in "The Love Charm," the comedy d'.ania of American life and manners which appears at the Elko theater to night and tomorrow. I The penniless cousin, the bereaved I "m-law" of one sort or another, the impecunious step-chilJ, the orphaned grandchild, even the unfortunate par ent, too, often finds himself in the position of a pensioner on some more prosperous "connection" whose chil ly attitude constantly repudiates the tenuous tie which binds them to gether. Human interest abounds in this Realart picture, which is from a story by Harvey O'Higgins, with scenario by Percy Heath and supervision by E.mer Harris. Miss Hawley has for her leading man Warner Baxter, a handsome and personable young actor, a recent re cruit from the stage. Mae Buscb, who has just finished playing impor tant roles in two immense productions which took over two years to com plete, plays the catty cousin of Miss Hawley, and Sylvia Ashton is the aunt. Dick Rosson, who will be re membered in "Her Face Value," also with Miss Hawley, has a good part, and Carrie Clarke Ward will be setn as the housekeeper.

When Robert Burns called a mouse "wee, sleekit, cow'rln', tim'rous beastie," he was probably not aware that a mouse isn't the frail, helpless little crenture It looks to be. Accord ing to the discovery of the late David Button, of DiimfermJlne, Scotland, the average mouse travels about ten miles day. Some mire make real speed record*, and co\er even more ground than this in 24 hours, Mr. Hutton found. There was one mouse in partic ular, In his collection, that smashed all the long-distance records In mouse dom by running 365 miles in 35 days. And all this marathon mouse required to keep him going was a half-penny worth of oatmeal during the entire period. Armistice Day Casualties. There were 3,912 casualties lu the A. K.

Yes, this great clog in our distribution system, this condition in the world today which is ruining fcnsiness men, which is putting farmers into bankruptcy, which is spread- ing havoc throughout our land, is due to the fact that our young people, our boys, especially, who are coming out of the school without the least idea of production, without the least idea of the fundamentals of produc- tion or distribution or the basis of business success. What would you do about it, you ask. Well. I have four suggestions to make. The first suggestion is to put religion back into the schools, i iell jou that tin's idea that Ave can get on by kicking down the ladder by which our fathers and grandfathers climbed up won't work forever. Our ancestorr did not come o\er to America with the idea of turning religion out of industry and education no, they came herb foT the sole purpose of putting religion in. The second thing we have got to do in training our young i for business is to develop principles and ground them in principles and in facts. The third thing I should do in educating young for their life's work would be to teach them some of the basic laws of industry. The fourth thing I should do in training our young men for industry would be to encourage the people of Chicago who are now engaged in part- time work. I would, encourage the correspondence schools in Chicago. 1 would encourage the night schools of Chicago. I want to train young men while they are at work. ssssBSESsaam Carrying On With the American Legion Liberal (Kan.) po*t ot the American Legion i building a swimming pool iu the city's lwnk and digging hole* tor tree planting.

Rev. David Railton. Vicar of Mar jrnte, England, recently tramped the country as an "out of work ex-soldier" and returned with the report that "it is almost impossible to even get an hour's work." THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER The truth is that the schools are not educating our children at all today. Our children, our boys, are really being educated by the newspapers, the movies and the billboards. Now I am not blaming the news papers or the movie people or the billboards. The\ are tending to their business, while we fathers are asleep at the switch. So we have got to educate our young men for busi ness. Ninety-five per cent of the young men going out of the (schools of Chicago go into industry or commerce, and yet 95 per cent of the instruction in the schools had been leit msuie. 1 couldn't stand that. I wiggled through the smoke along the tloor and got the baby." That wasn't all he did, however. Having placed the child in its frantic mother'*, arms he went back into the building and led a woman and two children safely to a fire escape, the stairs be ing ablaze. He then guided two more adults out of danger and rescued a dog. Then he went on to school. The excitement was over. Starched Caah Like New. A Detroit woman had what she styled a "conniption fit" recently. She was washing some aprons and forgot that she left some money in the pock ets of one. She didn't remember it un til she had starched them. "The money was soaked, but when I dried it and ironed it It was pretty stiff and resembled new currency. This caused the grocer to ask me where I'd made tliem," she said. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER NOW OPEN AGAIN FOR SHOE REPAIRING First Class Work Guaranteed at Reasonable Charges. K.

From this copse dark, blue, primeval, silent at most times as when the Great Manitou ruled his inland watersthere comes during storms a sound like the booming of an Indian drum. This drum beats, so tradition has long main tained, whenever the lake takes a life. Men say they have heard and counted the bearings to the exact number of crew and passengers lost in various sinkings of ships. Once only, it is said, has the drum counted wrong. This belief in the drum and a case in which the beat ings failed to tally with the records of men, forms the basis for an absolutely fascinating story of mystery, to be printed as a serial in these columns.
