Then two of the Minneapolis parties connected with the corporation offered to make a compromise settlement, or purchase the judgment. These parties were Messrs Tremain and Eberhardt.

Ilfe-Oirmfi* B*be PftrvtiSI VOLUME 23 12 PAGES WILLMAR, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917 PRICE SCENTS NUMBER 3 2 Throughout, the country,—the world in fact, the people rich and poor, cry: "Give us food, lest we perish." Our nation is at war. Our Allies look to us for food. The struggle of the ages will be won or lost on the American farms. Meanwhile the American people bend to the soil,—the crops are more bountiful than ever, But still the cry "Food, food, give us food." And far across the waters, the echo reverber ates, "Food, give us food, lest we no longer have strength to withstand our enemies." Why is this so? There-is food a plenty,—but the Food Trust—the m,ost criminal combination of America's business history, is grinding the com mon people and the farmers both in its insatiable desire for profits. Herbert C. Hoover, FoodefAdminls trator of the United States and chair man of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, publicly assailed the Food Trust before the United States Sen ate, stating: "In the last five months $250,000,000 has been extracted from the "American consumer in excess of normal profits of manufacturers and distributors." The photoplay will be shown at Dreamland Friday and Saturday of this week, with matinees at 3:00 In the afternoon and performances at 7:30 and 9:00 evenings. BEAUTIFUL KITTY GORDON. The illustrious English beauty, Kitty Gordon will be seen in the first of the photoplay features produced by her own film corporation at Dream land Thursday afternoon and evening of this week. The subject chosen for the first of Miss Gordon's new venture is a most happy* one, being that sprightly and thrilling novel,"Vera the, Medium," by the late Richard Harding Davis, for years tme of America's proudest liter ary possessions sad famed thraout the uleflf'M?*&f£ correspondent. In ate* i*-„ -v** Matinees at 3i00 "THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" deals with the most vitally import ant subject of the day—the conser vation of the food products of the United States. THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" shows many scenes of actual food riots in New York city. 'THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" deals with the vital problem of the high cost of living and with the criminal manipulations of the Food Trust in controlling the prices of food. 'THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" is the most talked of picture of the year, for it brings home to all whp see it the vital problems of the day in which they are all directly and personally interested. DREAMLAND THEATRE "THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED." The above heading might he criti cised, but it fits the attitude of the food trust towards the public, and the words coined by Vanderbilt are par ticularly applicable at this time. "The Public be Damned," is a tre mendously vital photoplay which is to be shown at Dreamland Friday and Saturday of this week, the last two days of the county fair. The picture takes up the food supply of the Unit ed States, and handles the subject in the most absorbingly interesting and thorough manner. •*m*'\* An Expose in Pictures of the Gigantic Food Speculation in the United States tobe shown TWO DAYS AT DREAMLAND FRIDAY AMD SATURDAY OF FAIR WEEK I i$&&••vHQ THT@i Make Your Plans to See This Picture at portunity to make the most of her rich and exotic beauty as well as to adorn herself in a bewildering array of startling costumes.

Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful so called "bumming bird flower" of the plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique and alone among the many specimens of floral mimicry that have been classi fied by modern botanists. It is a beau tiful blossom of variegated hues, the total length of the entire flower being about one and three-quarter inches. As one might imagine from its name, it is an exact image of a miniature' hum ming bird. The breast is green, the wings deep rose color, the throat yel low and the head and beak almost pure black. The only particular in which it is not a perfect b^lrd is that the stem gives it the appearance of having but a single leg and foot. Th* Harvest. DREAMLAN Friday and.

Are these not miracles? Promptly you answer, "Mere ly the prose of natural fact nothing but instinct plain and patent, born in the creatures, that bids them act."

Continental currency notes were in July, 1780, worth 2 cents on the dollar, and it took a "wagon load of currency to buy a wagon load of provisions."

THE DMJIORGIA ORCHESTRA AT ALL PERFORMANCES jtfm^^-%^ '""fXZ A Whan Time Hung Heavy. Today, when there is such ar premium on time, one finds it hard to realize the, condition portrayed by William Wistar Comfort in the Bookman: "In its day and for two or three cen turies later 'The Romance of the Rose' was the most popular work composed in medieval Europe. It consists of about 23,000 eight-syllable verses in the old French original. That forms a very considerable poem. A poem in two volumes would be sufficient in our day to rebuff most readers. But think of copying out in longhand such a poem! "Time was something to be killed by our ancestors, and hands were found to copy this endless poem almost 200 times. That is to say, we have near ly 200 French manuscripts of the 'Roman de la Rose,' and that does not account for all those that must have been lost in the course of GO E DJUMEtl"CSALtt:jki Evenings at 7i30—9*00 O years. However, the figures give us some idea of what medieval literary popularity was." Two Men and a Problem. When Lord Rayleigh, the British sci entist, was a student a^Cambridge the examiners set amongj£ther problems one which they based on an article in a German mathematical periodical sup posed unlikely to have penetrated to Cambridge. Only two men solved it Mr. Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and another. The examiners asked the other man about this problem. "Oh," he said, "I take the (mentioning the name of the periodical), and I was very glad to find that, thanks to an article in the last number, that problem came out quite easily." When Mr. Strutt's turn came they expected a similar answer, but he astonished them by replying, "The fact is, gentlemen, that I some times contribute to and I could not help feeling greatly flattered that you should have thought my little prob lem worthy of a place in this examina tion." He was awarded the prise. The 8eale on a Map. Distance on a map is measured by Its "scale." By laying a rule on a gov ernment map and ascertaining the number of inches between two points the number of miles between them can readily be calculated. Nearly all maps are drawn to a scale representing one, two, three or more miles to the inch, as the inch is the common unit of meas urement in the United States by which -the eye Is accustomed to Judge dis tances on paper. A scale of 1:62,500, nsed|m the well known United States geological survey topographical maps, denotes that one inch on the map. represents 62£00 inches on the ground, which is the ap proximate number of Inches iii a mile. Therefore the scale is, almost exactly, one inch to one mile. scale of 1*125^000 is approximately two miles to oneinch, and a •season ata 1"% HUNTING NOTICES TRAPPING NOTICES THRE8HERMEN* BOOKS —AT— TRIBUNE OFFICE Every Business Man and Every Employe should see THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" Every Farmer and the members of his family should see THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" Every Housewife, whose daily cares and responsibilities are made more burdensome by Food Trust manipulations, should see THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" Everybody, young and old, rich" or poor, men, women and children, should see THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED" They will find the Photoplay of ab sorbing interest—a picture they will think about ana talk about long after they have left the theatre. Pantheon and Parthenon. The Parthenon, or what is left of it, stands upon the Acropolis of Athens. The most famous building on earth, was erected under the administration of Pericles about B. 442. Its present ruinous condition was caused by the explosion of a bomb during the war between the Venetians and Turks in 1687. The Pantheon at Rome was built by Agrippa in B. C. 27 and, unlike the more beautiful temple at Athens, is still in a fair state of preservation. The Pantheon is, of course, well worth seeing both for its own sake and on account of its historic interest, but it does not hold the fame belonging to the Incomparable building on the Acropolis. Camphor Laurels In Japan. There is a stringent law in Japan that when one camphor laurel is cut down another must be planted In its place. The tree is hardy and long lived, attaining to an enormous size. It is covered with a small leaf of a vivid green color. The seed, or berries, grow In clusters, resembling the black cur rant in size and appearance. And the wood la employed for every purpose, from cabinetmaking to shipbuilding. 8liced Hair, Tommy, a bright little three-year-okL, had just made his first visit to the barber's and was very dissatisfied upon his return.
