Twelve Theaters to Give Special Matt
ness of Ideal Pictures.

The future Is hid in the hearts Of chill
dren. II we would have the future of
America developed along lines of whole
someness and cleanliness, we must plant
the IDEAL good IN their hearts today. This
can be accomplished by demanding that
the things likely to impress them be
charged with the potentiality Of moral
good. Moving pictures WELD a tremen-

good or for bad. Demand better and

Is PER CENT INCREASE
In YULETDE SHOPPING

Secretary Charles J. Columbus, Of the
Retail Merchants Association, estimated
last night that the business of Washing
ton merchants this Christmas was about
25 per cent greater than the volume of
sales last holiday season. In response
to query he declared that this has been
"a wonderful Christmas season" for local
merchants, and said:
During my travels about town in the
last two days I have met with the mer-
chants In many lines and find the same
satisfactory expression. Practically every
merchant with whom have talked has
declared that the volume of Christmas
business has exceeded all past records.
In fact one very prominent merchant
told me about the middle Of December
that his firms business had gone ahead
Is per cent and I believe that when the
final counting Is had, that record will be
maintained in very many Instances"

Japan's Curious Museum.

Probably the very oldest museum in
the world is that at Nara, the ancient
capital Of Japan. It was founded in the
year 756 A. D.. and all the articles
therein are Of an earlier date. for, al
though Nara has gone through all the
vicissitudes Of the empire, not one new
article has been added to the collec-
ton. The museum is in safe and care
full custody, and it's doors are opened
only once every year. On that day a
committee goes over the collection. tab
ulates it and compares the list with
those made previously. The 5000 ar
ticles in the collection are of lacquer
ware, decorative furniture, enamel
ware, cambric-like fabrics and of other
kinds and are among the very finest
Of their species that the world has pro-
duced. Some come from China and
some from Korea, but most of them
appear to have been brought from lands
further afield.

The Wild Camel of Spain.

Who would imagine that there are
wild camels in Spain, and in a part of
Spain which is flooded during a great
part Of the year? Yet the thing is
vouched for by the authors of "Unex-
plored Spain" The explanation is that
"the animals were introduced to Spain
in 1929 by the Marquis Of Villafranca,
with the object Of employing them in
transport and agriculture, as they are
commonly used on the opposite shores
Of Africa. But local difficulties en-
sued, chiefly arising from the intense
fear and repugnance of horses toward
camels, which resulted in numerous
accidents, and eventually the bactrians
were set free in the marisma, where
in they have since lived at large and
bred under wholly wild conditions"

Bethel Church Adherents Are
Especially Urged to Come.
Festival in October.

Rev. w. E. Pearson announced last
Sunday that all members and friends
OF the Bethel church are requested to
attend church next Sunday morning,
and appear in a Photographic view
that is to be taken for publication in
the church album to be issued in o.
tober in cOmmemoration of the twen-
ty-tifth anniversary of the church. In
accordance with the resolution adop-
ted at the annual meeting this ami
versary is to be celebrated by appro-
pirate services and gatherings, and
the committee has fixed the time for
the celebration to October 1912, in
connection with the mission meetings.
Former pastors are expected to be
here, and the festivities will likely
close with a grand concert at the new
Willmar opera house, if the same is
opened by that time.
The album will contain historical
sketches and portraits of early men,
bers, of the pastors who have served
the church, Of all the church organi-
cations, etc. To make the picture to
be taken Sunday morning of the
greatest possible historical value, it
is desirable that all the members and
families appear in the same.

WOMAN LEAPS FROM
MOVING TRAIN TODAY
Passenger on Sioux City Train,
Temporarily Unbalanced,
Jumps From window.

Mrs. J. W. Weiseth, wife of the yard
master on the Great Northern at Gar
retson, S. D., leaped from the window
OF the passenger coach on north bound
train No. % this afternoon shortly at
ter the train left Raymond.
She has been in i'll health for some
time, recently undergoing an operation
and 1t Is thought her mind became
temporarily deranged. Together with
her son, about fourteen years of age,
she was on her way to Grand Forks,
N. Dak., for visit. She and her son
were occupying a seat in the day
coach, the woman sitting next to the
window. When the train was about
a mile this side Of Raymond, travelling
at good rate of speed, Mrs. Weiseth
suddenly jumped up, and thru the
window.
So quickly was the act perpetrated
that her son did not see her jump.
Conductor William Hackett in charge
OF the train had just come in thru the
door Of the coach, and was standing
not more than two seats behind her.
He Immediately pulled the cord and
stopped the train.
When found the woman was uncon.
scious, but few moments afterward
she regained her senses. After that
she had spells of Inconsistencies at
different intervals. On the arrival of
the train at this city she was at once
taken to the Bethesda hospital where
at this writing the full extent of her
injuries have not been determined.

The Republican Campaign.

Eric L. Thornton, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
who is spending the summer at his
summer home in this city, states that
the committee is busy arranging for
the Hughes visit in the twin Cities on
August 9. Plans are being perfected
to make this one of the greatest DEM
onstrations ever given a candidate fer
president in the Northwest. A parade
in which about 10000 people are ex-
pected to participate will be one OF
the features Of the occasion. Mr..
Hughes will give addresses both in
st. Paul and in Minneapolis. Mr..
Thornton expects that the state or
ganization will be completed about
the middle of September and that the
active state campaign will begin about
that time.-Glenwood Herald.

engagements for the Hughes rally at

JUST THE EDITORS VIEWS.

The burden Of Mr.. Hughes song is
that he Would rescue the nation from
"dishonor.' President Wilson has
been too patient with our misled
neighbors and berserker-crazed Eu.
rope to suit some people, and the erst-
while well-fed crowd that has hun.
gered for four years thinks they can
win on this issue. If our people will
be fooled by such political bunk" or
by appeals to partisan prejudice to
abandon safe pilot in times as
these, they will well deserve what
they will surely get if they put the
plutocratic crowd into control again.
Thomas Dryer, the boilermaker
who captured the Democratic nomina.
ton for governor, holds that mistaken
notion about Prohibition which unfor'
tunately has been adhered to by
many labor leaders, viz: that a per
son should have the liberty to eat
or drink whatever he likes. For this
reason he urges that the county option
law be repealed. In the same state
ment he urges that law be passed
prohibiting swearing and foul langu
age in public places. In this laudable
desire Tom trips himself, for is not
the "liberty'' Of free speech the most
priced Of any of our 'rights?" Dwy
er's liquor views will put the Demo
cratic state organization In the worst
hole it has been for years.
