The Store Of Quality

England. People come here from all
the countries of the old world to be
melted together into one new nation
the American people. We have a
splendid opportunity to make this the
best or the worst nation. If each ma
tionality respectively, as they come
here will leave behind in their native
country their virtues and bring along
their vices and ingraft them upon this
new people we shall make of it the
worst nation on earth. On the other
hand, if each nationality as they leave
the old world will leave behind every
vice and bring with them their virtues
and ingraft them upon the character
of this new nation we shall make the
American people the best upon the
face of the earth. The Scandinavians
have some vices they ought to leave
on the other side of the ocean. They
have many amiable virtues to bring
along and implant upon the character
of the American people. The Scandi-
navian people is religious people;
they ought therefore be true to the
religion of their fathers and thus do
their part to make this religious ma
ton which is great national asset for
Blessed is the nation whose God is
the Lord"

SISTERS MEET
AFTER MANY YEARS
Former Finley Girl Finds Rela-
tives of Whom She Had.
Never Heard

Twenty-seven years ago tiny six
baby girl was placed in an
orphanage at Lincoln, Nebraska, and
a short time later was given a home
by kindly couple. The girl grew to
womanhood as Miss Cassie Finley,
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
E. Finley, of this valley, and knew
nothing Of her blood relatives until
few weeks ago when an older sister
thru years of search succeeded in To-
eating the father, two brothers and
three sisters, none of whom had known
of the existence of the others for more
than quarter of century. ~.
The family of Cam Shockey was
broken up when the mother died at
Falls City, Nebr., 81 years ago. The
oldest daughter, now Mrs. Bessie
Nicholson, of Sommers, Mont, was
adopted into Kansas family and the
two younger daughters were taken to
an orphanage at Lincoln, Nebr.
Four years ago Mrs. Nicholson got
trace of her father, two older BROTH
ers and half brother when a blood
cousin moved to a claim beside one in
Montana occupied by her foster broth
er. Last spring she went to Atchin-
son, Kan, to visit her new-found rela-
tives and try to get news OF her Sis
tiers.
She visited towns in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Southern Nebraska and
stopped off at the orphanage where her
sisters were placed and which since
has gone out Of existence. She learn
ed from former friend of the insti-
tuition that the older Of the two. now
Mrs. Erma Ostran, Of Lincoln, had
been adopted into a family living in
a town near Lincoln. When Mrs.
Nicholson sought to call this family
by long distance telephone the opera
tor informed her they had moved to
Lincoln ten years ago. 1t so happen
ed that the operator was a foster
cousin of the missing sister and it
was not long until the sisters who had
not seen each other since the one was
seven and the other one year old, were
soon togethr.
The two sisters continued their in
quiry and found that the "baby" had
been adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Finley
whom they succeeded in tracing to
their home in this valley.
The "baby" is Mrs. H. r. McCos-
krie, of Spokane, who at the present
time is entertaining Mrs. Nicholson
at her home. A reunion Of all MEM
bers of the family is planned for this
fall in Kansas or Nebraska.

Soldiers, bandits. Texas bellies. Mexican
senoritas, and ''local color viii share the
honors of motion picture play which will
be produced in Brownsville and other bor-
der towns by the First Minnesota Field
Artillery. The first scenes of the movie
were taken by Force Brothers of Mime
apolis at the Las Palmas and Brulay
ranches today. The completed film will
be presented in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
about Christmas as a benefit for the reg
mental fund.
The completed picture, which will be
about 5000 feet long. will include scenes
showing the Minnesota artillery firing
real shells, going into action. camp life
and serious and comic episodes Of the
field. The Minnesota and Iowa Infantry
also will be shoan in the film in action.
The scenario, which j. BY Howard Kahn
Sunday editor Of the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press, now a member of Battery II. Of the
Minnesota organization, tells of the mis-
haps of group of artillerymen who be-
came prisoners of number of Mexican
bandits. Through the aid of Mexican
girl, one of tho artillerymen escapes and
brings regiment of artillery and regi-
ment of infantry TO the rescue. The Mex
leans aided by reinforcements, put mp n
stiff battle, but are routed by the fire of
the Americans.
A love story is interviewer in the lot and
a number of comedy scenes and thrills
add zest TO the story.
The primary object Of the scenario is
TO give the folks at home "close- up
view OF camp life and border conditions.
The film will be made with practically
no interruption Of the daily routine Of the
soldiers. The Minnesota soldiers are en-
gagged in target practice at the Iona Alta
range, and many Of the scenes are being
made while the batteries are doing their
prescribed firing.
The idea Of the movies was conceived by
Colonel George L. Leach. and the project
il being financed by officers and men Of
the regiment. If the regiment is sent home
70 be mustered out this winter, it is plan
ned TO use the profits Of the movie TO aid
needy soldiers who may be out of job.
The picture will be completed at Llano
Grande as soon as the regiment returns to
its base.
Some of the more vivid scenes will also
be photographed by II. p. Brown for the
Hearst International News Pictorial and
will be shown in all Of the principal towns
and cities Of the United States.
