a 6,000-foot picture which is believed
by the Publicity Film Co. Of Bismarck,
which is doing the work, to be the
most elaborate piece of pictorial pub
licity which the northwest has ever
been given. For this picture Mr..
Burnstad has utilized the services of
his own outfit of, rough riders. and he
has succeeded for the first time in
securing the consent Of full-blooded

political and military life.
At Fort Yates this week, by special
arrangement with Superintendent

will have a most complete and a de-
cidedly interesting symposium of
twentieth century life on the last
frontier.
Aside from the Percherons and

hobby-the motion picture. He has
paid for hundreds of feet Of film
which has been sent east and ex-

cational agencies. Recently, as q
token Of their esteem, the Sioux OF
Standing Rock, reservation formally
adopted the "H-O" ranch king, con

greatest chieftain-Gall. In celebra-
ton Of this event. Burnstad hopes to
make the film which he Isl now COM

lures, and no expense will be spared
in getting good material at Wort

At Last

So long we sighed for peace
on earth," the kind that Christ
mas brings, but could not get a
worth, because of batty
kings; for four long years they
tried, the goats, to force their
kultur down our threats; they
sprung their mines and murder
boats, and other deadly things.
Good will to men" was out of
date, all over sea and land; and
in it's place we had the hate that
bore a German brand; the world
was full of battle smoke, of
blood and wounds and madden
ed folk, and men forgot to laugh
and joke, and kindness was
canned. Now comes the time of
peace on earth, the clouds are
blown away; so let US, with ex-
ceeding mirth, observe the
Christmas day; for He whose
birth we celebrate has brought
us triumph over hate and hum
bled kings who once were great,
and torn them from their prey.
Though sorrow grimly plants its
stakes, and fingers for a night,
Joy coneth when the morning
breaks, as seers and prophets
write; this is the morn of happy
times, the end of tyrants and
their crimes, so let us make the
Christmas chimes ring out a
worlds delight.
