BEST THEATRE.

Within the Law, the greatest stage success for decade, will be shown as special Christmas day offering. There are numerous reas. ons why the silent dramatization of Bayard Veilier's wonderful story should meet with popular favor. The characters In the play run the entire gamut of human emotions. That everburning questionable salary to be paid the department store girls in order that they may be able to follow the straight and narrow path of vfrtue-is vividly portrayed by Alice Joyce, who as Mary Turner, a department store girl, is arrested for stealing from her employer. She is convicted. Her release from pris- on, her subsequent search for honest employment, her attempted suicide from which she is saved by Joe Gardner, and her first rishonest deal with land agent, which nets her $30,O0O and is still within the law, make wonderful material for the scenairo writer. That Miss Joyce is charming in the role of Mary is the unonimous verdict of critics.
 Harry Mercy, another of the strong local favorites, plays the role of Joe Gardner. He makes an attra ctive he TO and gives rendition of that part that immediately arrests the at tention of the audience. "Within the Law" is given in nine reels. The picture is beautifully done and throughout is of character that will hold the undivided attention of the modern motion picture pat ron of Pine Bluff.

FOOD. ENUF FOR ALL

An important effort of the United
States Food Administration is to regu-
bate the handling of staple foods so there
will be enuf for all in spite OF the large
supplies sent abroad.
Mr.. Hoover recently stated, "We have
and will retain sufficient food for all
our people. There is no economic reason
why there should be exorbitant prices.
We are not in famine. It is obvious that
our people must have quantities of food
and must have them at prices which
they can afford to pay from their wage .
The entire question revolves upon the
successful substitution of foods that can
not be exported for those that can be
readily handled in this way and of
course the saving of edible foods now
being wasted.

The food committee of the Public
Safety Commission has accomplished a
number of things, that not only from a
patriotic, but from a common sense view,
are commendable. The most notable of
these is the attack on the high cost OF
living. The committee has just recently
caused the price Of milk in. the Twin
Cities to be cut from IA cents quart
to 10 cents, and we all know that is high
enough. Last week. it made arrange
ments whereby number of stores are

the efforts Of the commission along these
and similar lines.

THINGS HISTORICAL

Attention is being called nowadays to
the importance of making and preserving
for the future historian complete records
relating to present day wartime activities
and conditions in the various communi-
ties turnout the state. In this connection
it may be remarked that existing his
tories of Minnesota might have been
made more interesting and instructive
if equally full records had come down
thru all the years, both Of war and OF
peace, during which a few frontier set
Elements developed into the great state
which is now playing its part in the decid-
ing Of world issues. 1t is true that
many Of the old settlers have kept
letters, papers, diaries, business accounts,
and pictures connected with the life in
the earlier days, and that some Of this
material has assisted the historian ia
filling out the outlines of his story. But
the point to be noted there is that UNI
doubtedly much more such material
exists than has ever been available for
the writing Of history. In this region
alone, there must be many homes in
which material of some historical value
lies hidden and perhaps forgotten.
This ought to be turned over to the
Minnesota Historical Society at St.
Paul. There, among other records Of
the past, it would gain in usefulness
and would be certain Of permanent pres
ervation. II in doubt as to the inn
portance Of things you may possess at
least give the state historical society

WOULD DE- FINE THING

Editor Review:
The following which ] have clipped
from the Duluth Herald appears 70 me.
as fitting compliment to worthya
man and an able jurist. 4 would be
glad 70 see It appear IN the columns of
|the Review:
Word comes of movement having
az its purpose the unanimous Re election
next year Of Chief Justice Calvin L.
Brown Of the state supreme court.
IS It would be q splendid thing to do
9 Just tribute to high ability and dis
tinguished public service, handsome
rounding out Of q fine career.
s Justice Brown is the head Of the Minne-
sofa supreme court at time when the
court is held in perhaps the highest
respect in its history. In recent years
many improvements in judicial practice, ),
having the effect Of expediting justice /
and reducing the number of frivolous
appeals and appeals made to tire out
and discourage poor litigants, have been
made under his leadership, and much of
the credit is due to him personally. It is
perhaps needless to say that as man and
as a judge, Chief Justice Brown stands
very high in the esteem Of judges, lawyers
and people.
He has been thirty years on the bencpeo
ten years as district Judge and twenty -!
years as a justice and, later, chief justice,
OF the supreme court-yet he is still in
the prime of his powers.
If his reelection could be without
opposition and by reclamation, it would
be fitting tribute to able, distinguished
service, and pretty evidence that
Minnesota cherishes and safeguards
and rewards her judiciary according to
its merits.

AGRICULTURE ON VAST SCALE
Argentine "Estanclas'' So Large They
Are Measured In Leagues In
stead of Acres.

1t is when the traveller has made a
nights run from the strictly mountain
towns and wakens to look out of the
windows of the sleeplng-car to behold
the vast pampa OF level and productive
plain unrolling before him on all sides
that the real Argentina begins to be
tangible. 1t Is like sailing on an almost
perfectly level sea that bends away to
the horizon with naught to obstruct the
vision save mere and there clump Of
poplars. which signifies the ranch
buildings of big "estuncia."
One Is struck with the absence Of
woods, but as one proceeds and stud
les the landscape he sees great herds
of cattle, immense fiocks of sheep, and
here and there gray patches which, on
nearer view, are discovered to be com"
posed of Argentine 0striches. Then
there are the stretches Of grain fields
which seem to reach everywhere and
have no undarles-thousands Of
acres OF wheat and corn.
One has reached the country where
farms are measured not by the acres,
but by square leagues. II you ask the
size of farm, the answer will often
fairly appall you, for these vast feudnl
"estancias" comprise all the way from
1900 to 100000 acres, and agriculture
is on scale that would seem fabulous
even to our farmers in Kansas and

by leaving San Francisco or Vancou-

a spot is reached where there is no
land, not even an islet, for thousand
miles in any direction. So, too, sailing
from the southern point Of ancient

reach a point more than n thousand
miles from land, the nearest to the
north being the Aleutlan Islands, aud
TO the south the Sandwich islands, or

Bad People In Literature.

think that a book must have only
good people in 1t, and because "Kld-
mapped" has so many bad or half
way bad folks In II, 1t was, by so
much, mistaken. AS a comment on
this she adds:
"There is no such thing as n vii
lage or a town or a house or world
that is all full Of good people; because
there is not so much as single one
of us that Is entirely without fault.
And in wild and bitter circumstances
you viii find wild and bitter men, and
In times of stress tempers will crack
and sad things win happen" Miss
Hawthorne's statement is as appll-
cable to a class of grown-up readers
as to children. II is very common to
hear 1t said of book that ID is OBJ

pie In It.

WELL TO START AT BOTTOM
Reasons Why Lowest Runn Of the
Ladder Is Frequently Better
Than the Middle One.

There is plenty Of room at the bot
tom. 1t is better to start there and
climb to the top than to start half
way up and stick.
$50 many boys and young men are
getting the wrong start" says mer-
chant in the New York Times. 'The
salaries paid by most Of the Wall
street houses are high, ] believe, be-
cause, first of all, the business just
now can afford them; and, secondly,
there must be some premium for the
lack of opportunity. In other words,
the boy Is paid high wages to start,
because he can't get much higher from
the position he fills"
In the mercantile field, says the
wrlter-who himself has several posi-
tions open which he has been unable
to fill--there is unlimited chance for
the young man who wants to make
something out of himself. For, once
he has learned a business from the
bottom up, he has training that VIII
pay better in the end than the job
with the high salary AT the start.
ut is more profitable to start low
and have your salary grow every year,
than to stick around the same mark
or lose ground as time goes on. As
far as hours go. we have a long day.
But If the work is congenial and the
employee knows he is getting ahead,
hours don't count. We generally turn
down the applicant whose first ques-
ton is, What hours do / have to
workY"
