countenance.

Of Germany in an attempt to tie up
shipping and penalize American IN
dustries. Do you consent to be tools
Of Imperial Germany or do you pre-
fer to be free Americana?
In a moment the hall resoundeo

The president turned as his sec
rotary touched him on the elbow. he

His work for the night was over. He
turned to go.
With thoughts free from the long

nearest his heart, and one which even
in moments of greatest danger and

was ever conscious of. Dixie Mason's

Nell Shipman is very much an out
door girl and able to hold her own at
riding or swimming or in almost any
test OF nerve and skill.
She was out of a scene In which her
company was working and she was
chatting with a bunch of Bill Dun
cans serial huskies when the conYer-
sation turned to boxing and wrest-
ling.
One big fellow allowed it wasn't fit
for a slip of a girl like Miss Ship
man to converse on such subjects,
whereupon she invited him to step
onto an imaginary mat and showed
him what she knew about the art of
jiu jitsu He didn't know anything
hut he learned to speak with the pro-
in general and Nell Shipman in par
ticular.
Miss Shipman is seen in her first
vanp role in THE Home Trail" at
the Isis Monday and Tuesday.
Clara KimbalI Young and her own
company win appear at the GarriclS
on Monday and Tuesday in q pictur-
ization OF 1.-THE House of Glass. ?
adapted by Charles q. Whitaker from
, the dramatic sensation of the same
Emile Chautard and distributed by
Select. Pictures corporation.
AS Margaret Case, Miss Young
portrays brilliantly the role Of an i'm
ocent girl whom circunnstantial evil
dence conyicts OF completely in a
theft of jewelry; after 1S months in
prison she lis paroled and disappears
from New York. In the west she
meets and marries a railroad man
named Harvey Lake; his appointment
as manager Of a big eastern road
brings them to New York, where she
lis recognized by detective. She
tells her husband the whole story,
and when the detective brings indis-
putable evidence of her former fiden-
tity and refuses to be silenced, the
situation looks very black. How the
clouds are lifted and Margaret's con-
tinuously haunting fears removed fur
nish a dramatic story In which Clara
Kimhall Young adds to her full crown
of laurels as a leading emotional
screen star.
For awe inspiring realism and for
CHASTITY settings, perhaps no scene
ever filmed can compare with the
funeral on the oceans floor as shown
ia 10000 Leagues Under the Sea-
which comes TO the Lyceum in Moor
head Monday and Tuesday.
The weird obsequies come toward
the end of the story. 1t is the cul-
nination Of the stormy life Of Capt.

venge on his lifelong enemy-the res

drink after drink he became with
each one little less careful, a shade

ONE COURSE Is BEST.
Agricultural College Expert Explains
Sidewalk Construction.

Later practice in walk construc-
ton is to make the walk in one
course, according to r. H. Slocum,
of the North Dakota Agricultural
college. Where the soil is free from
soft spots the sod is stripped off and
the concrete placed on the natural
soil. The walk should be at least
four inches thick Of concrete made
of one part cement, three parts
sand and five parts pebbles or
broken stone. The sand should be
relatively coarse and the pebbles or
broken stone should range from one
quarter inch to about one inch in
the longest diameter. A surplus OF
fine material will call for more
cement. The concrete should not be
very wet, in fact add just enough
water to make it workable. After a
few hours of setting it should be
covered with earth, and kept moist
for a week or more. If the soil is
dry it should be sprinkled we'll be-
fore the concrete is placed. The
resulting walk will not be as smooth
as the two course work, but avoids
some Of it's structural defects.
