At the Theatres

'The Shuttle starring Constance
Talmadge, and adapted by Margaret
Turnbull and Harvey Thew from the
best seller" novel of the same name
by Frances Hodgson Burnett, will be
shown at the Classic Wednesday. After
twelve years of separation, Bettina,
the youngest daughter of the American
multi-milliOnaire, Reuben Wander
poel, goes to visit her sister Rosalie,
now Lady Anstruthers, at her English
estate. She finds her broken in health
and spirit by the cruel maltreatment
Of Sir Nigel Anstruthers, who has left
her and their young son in the ruins
of the old castle and the neglected es-
tate, to resume his old-time dissipation
abroad Betty, high-spirited and re-
sourceful, rehabilitates her sister and
refurbishes the castle and grounds.
"The Splendid Sinner" will be the
screen attraction at the Majestic
Wednesday. In the role of Dolores,
Mary Garden scores a pictorial tri-
umph which Outvies her original
screen success. Her fine figure is dis
played in all it's handsome outlines by
series Of elaborate gowns, and her
appearance in the brilliantly arranged
banquet scene, her violin when she
lightly mounts on the great diamond
shaped table and plays to the assem-
bled guests; up to the moment when
in ho r1o Of
wine in Won Zorns face, all combine
to make the first reel a marvel of few
erishly quick action and undoubted
beauty
Cowboys, shooting, reckless riding
all the atmosphere that should be
found in the typical Western photo
play-will be brought to the screen OF
the Classic tonight when Triangle
presents Little Red Decides" AS the
title would indicate the central figure
in the story is a child, and the produc-
ers have entrusted this stellar role to
little Barbara Connolly The young
ster's part is that Of a fve-year-old
boy, who is discovered by two cow
boys Of the AllisO ranch as he steps
into the light OF their camp fire. He
leads them to a lonely cabin to awak-
en- his father. The cowboys find the
man is dead and that he has left
note asking whoever takes the boy to
bring him up as christian.
In the play of "Headin' South at
the Majestic tonight Douglas Fair
banks has ample opportunity for the
display of his acrobatic method of
acting. He goes through his usual
house climbing, celever horseback rid
ing, quick eye and rOpid trigger work
that has given him his enviable posi-
ton in the phOto-dramatic field. Frank
Campeau as Spanish" Joe does an
exceptional bit of character acting
and provides good foil for Fairbanks

makes an acceptable girl in the case.

Steal Many Cars

Arrest of six Minneapolis men Sat
urday led to the finding of 184 auto
mobiles which had been stolen in Min
neapolis, repainted and sold to- prl-
vate citizens both In and out OF the
Twin Cities. One man, Edward Hop
pc is credited with having stolen Al
of these cars himself. A deputy sher-
if of Hennepin County was in Red
wood County last week, looking for
some of these cars, and made the
statement to deputy sheriff, Harry
discovered in this county. They had
been repainted, and their engine num-
bers changed and sold to unsuspectlng
farmers who thought they were get
ting bargains in secondhand cars. 1t
is probable that hereafter the men
who have been purchasing these cars
throughout the state will remember
that it really pays to deal exclusively
with reputable dealers.

What Americans Say

In the Minneapolis Journal of Sun
day appeared an interesting collec-
ton of extracts of letters written by
Minnesota men now at the front with
the colors in France. One of the most
interesting was written by Richard
Eddy, son of former Congressman
Frank Eddy, of Sauk Center. Mr.
Eddy wrote in part:
"Last night the American wife of
French count talked to us on the
atrocities of the 'boches' in northern
France. She was there at the out
break of the war and knew what she
was talking about. She exhibited many
of the notices or 'proclamations' that
the Germans are so fond of putting
up in all captured territory. This lady
gave a detailed and interesting de-
scription of a great many of the tai
ents of the 'kultured' German Off
GERS and men. 1t was the first time
! | had heard woman talk upon these
subjects and she talked upon them
as only a woman can. The intense
feeling of bitterness and the hatred
was Just what we Americans need
to open our eyes to the issues at
stake. The only thing l can compare
her talk to is to say that she talked
like a mother would if someone had
injured her child. | am so glad and
proud that the United States awoke
in time and that this war is taking
place long, long way from home.
"The soldiers have the easy side in
this war. They know that the folks
at home are comfortable and we'll tax
en- care of and safe. The soldiers are
working all the time and their minds
are occupied. While the women in
the United States have the constant
dread and fear of casualty list OF
something and no news is not so sure
to mean all is we'll as it means tc
the soldier"
And Rev. w. w. Hill who resigned
his pastorate at Gaylord to fight II
France, writes the following:
"You no doubt have read in the pa
pers what the Canadians have JUS
accomplished. It sure was hell. Sher
mans definition of war is right. Thai
war is hell, we soldiers go further
and say to hell with war. We were
up to our waists in mud and slime

Dunham-Graham

The following account Of the mar
riage of Mrs. Dunham as announced
in last weeks Gazette, was taken
from the last issue of the GAINESVILLE
Argus:
Although the event was not unex-
pected, yet, owing to the quiet man
ner in which it was consummated, it
proved to be real and genuine sur
prise to the many friends of the con-
tracing parties. We refer to the
marriage of Mrs. Oliver Dunham, of
this place, and Mr. Byron Graham, of
Pemberton.
The marriage occurred on Thursday
evening in this place at the home of
the brides mother, Mrs. L. F. Davis.
The only persons present were the Of
ficiating clergyman, Rev. W. j. Rob-
inson, Mrs Robinson and Mrs. Davis.
So far as known no one had previ-
ously been advised as to when and
where the happy couple would join
their lives and their fortunes for all
future time, and this being the case,
they were marvelously successful in
pulling one off on their relatives and
friends, all of whom were the more
genuinely surprised than otherwise
would have been the case, as they
had planned to make the event note
able and give the contracting parties
particularly enthusiastic reception
and send off. But they were very nice
ly fooled, much to the amusement and
qualification of the bride and groom
and Mrs. Davis, who was the only
person admitted to the secret.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Graham left for Great Falls.
Montana, on their wedding trip. Up
on their return they will reside for a
time at Pemberton and later remove
| to Mankato.
The Argus takes this opportunity
to tender it's congratulations and tc
wish the happy couple much joy ano
happiness and many happy returns
Of course, we cannot refrain from
giving this sterrotyped form of wei
wishes, knowing as we do the halo OF
courtship and the unalloyed bliss OF
the honeymoon are always intensified
with advancing years.

slime, a pillbox here and there, for
days at it until we were relieved, it
sure makes the stoutest and strong
est hearts nearly break at the sight
of it all. This has been for me the
greatest postgraduate course | could
have ever taken in the study of man.
AS the poet has said, The greatest
study of man is man. You ought to
thank God you are far from the seat
of actions. What would you people
think of sending your children to
Sunday school or church on Sunday
morning and then have bombs dropped
on them and see their arms and legs
and bodies blown to pieces and the
streets washed with their blood; well
that is what Fritz has done time and
again in the old country. Then in
Belgium and France the same and
worse, if it is possible"

Breeders Meet

The keenest of interest in Short
horn cattle was manifested at the an
nual banquet and meeting of the Min.
nesota Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
tion held January 4, at the Associa-
ton of Commerce rooms, st. Paul
Upwards of one hundred seventy-five
people were present.
Frank W. Harding, secretary OF
the American Shorthorn Breeders AS
sociation, was present. Everywhere
was reflected the sound basis of the
Shorthorn business. At the business
meeting the following officers were
elected: S. G.. Eliason, Montevideo
president; Peter Mckay, Delhi, vice
president; Thos. G. Paterson, st. Paul
secretary; Jesse P. Billings, Fergus
Falls, Frank Landon, Winona, Frank
Smith, St. Cloud, directors.
The big features of the Shorthorr
conclave were the show and sale helc

topped the sale the next day at 81 ,525

signed by S. G. Eliason, Montevideo
Mimi, was the champion female OF
the show and the top female OF the
sale. She sold for $3.50 to M. +
Dahl of Twin Valley, MINI.
Seventy head in the sale made
grand average of 1866. A mole ex-
tended report of this sale will appear
in our next issue.
These two events mark an impor-
tant forward step for Shorthorn in
terests in this state. The sale this
wear exceeded last years average by
SIS per head, and is believed to be
the largest average ever attained by
any state breeders association in this
country. With few exceptions the
cattle presented by the Minnesota
breeders were of exceptionally t1ne
ouality.-The Farmer.

You Are Either
Loyal Or Traitor
So Said Priest In Talk at New Ulm
Last Friday Evening,
January

Lieutenant Paul Perigord of the
French army, a former ST. Paul priest
speaking to an audience of 1900 per-
sons, at the Armory at New Ulm, Fri
day evening, awoke them to the nee
essity of active patriotism by point
ing out the reasons why this country
entered the war and why the people
of the country must stand back OF
the Government, without reserve.
Germany, Lieutenant Perigord de-
clared, looked upon the United States
as a place where the loyalty or dis
loyalty of the people could be pur-
chased as a marketable commodity.
'In some instances,'' he continued
"this condition obtained during the
early months of the war, but it is now
changing. There can be no half way
in the patriotism on any person in
this country. He is either loyal or a
traitor. Had not the United States en-
tered the war they would have be-
come an outcast among the civilized
nations of the world. Those who deny
the men at the front their active sup
port are doomed to become an out
cast among the people of this coun
try when the war is over, and even
before"
The audience, largely of German
parentage, were more enthused by
Lieutenant Perigord than by any
speaker who has appeared in Brown
county. Quite a number from Sleepy
Eye were present and they were al
impressed with the earnestness OF
the speaker and the forceful manner
in which he handled his subject
