'TIl tell you what I'll do said Har-
old Sorenson, the clerk of the county
court this morning to Miss Jane
Brown, "Tll trade You a marriage IL
cense for two years subscription to

Done" promptly replied the little
lady.
Miss Brown is member of a crew
OF Minneapolis young ladies who are

the receipts from which they are
paying their way to the Pacific coast.
She worked the courthouse this morn

Mr.. Sorenson proceeded to get down
the proper books and papers and filled
in the blank for the young lady's name.
Who is to be the groom" asked
Mr.. Sorenson.
Hadn't thought about that. Was
just wondering how could turn this
license in and get credit for two years

a charming smile.
At this juncture Mr.. Sorenson called
the office of the clerk of the district

inquired what was wanted.

LOCAL BOYS Big HIT
Biiou Crowded at Each Performance
Big Picture Programme and
Vaudeville Today.

The Heidelberg quartette. made up of
four local boys, with Joe Rolf, the Fun
ny Swede Comedian as a headliner,
made great hit in their tryout at the
Bijou yesterday, and the result is that
Manager Webster Of the theatrical eX-
change has engaged them for trip
over his entire circuit. At the request
of number of patrons of the Bijou the
boys have been engaged for the rest of
the week as a double extra attraction
in addition to the regular vaudeville
feature. Rolf, Moen, Flaten, Links and
Springer will surely make hit on the
long trip to the coast over the Webster
circuit.
The picture programme today is
headed by another great Max picture;
Max Goes Skiing. It's a funny picture
and shows how Max gets mixed up
with everything else on the landscape
as soon as he gets his skis on his feet
Everybody will sympathize with Max
even while they laugh.
The Runaway Motor Car, is an Am
erican comedy with a big c; Jim
Scowles gets the motor bug badly; his
rich uncle writes him that he has for
given him for marrying against his
wishes and is sending him a horseless
carriage in token of forgiveness; Jim
is overjoyed and begins to dream of
motors and motoring. The picture
tells all about what Jim dreamed; ev-
cry fellow who has dreamed of falling
out of bed will know how Jim felt when
he dreamed of soaring through the
clouds in a runaway motor.
The Argonauts, a pathetic story of
two motherless children, adds the dra-
matte touch to the bill that will appeal
to all. The story of the two little
waits as they journey to the Sierras in
search of gold, the little girl with boys
clothing on, and the adventures they
meet cannot fail to interest everyone
who loves children. This picture is
we'll worth the price of admission to
the whole show.
The regular vaudeville feature is
The Five Stunning Gaffney Girls who
appear in catchy musical farce hit,
Scenes in Dressing Room, novelty
that will please. There's the biggest
dollars worth of value you ever saw
in the Bijou's 10 cent show.

Friendly One.

Judge Pollock handed down his de-
cision last evening in the case of Sam
Crabbe against Fargo Township to re-
cover about 500 due him as salary for
services rendered the corporation in

throughout, and the township would
have been glad to pay Crabbe the
money, and thought he had earned
il, but the law did not allow such an
action. In giving the decision Judge
Pollock stated that he could not fina
where the law gave the supervisors
power to make such an expenditure as
was contracted for in the agreement
Between. Crabbe and the township.

waulSee famous is a woman police
