try will do whatever their Govern
ment asks them to do in this crisis
believe this after working with these
men through two Liberty Loan cam
paigns and having pretty well learned
their processes of reasoning and their
inclinations.
Il do not have this faith in the
people of the Northwest because l
think all of them are patriots, or are
anywhere near perfect.
81 do know, however, that large
majority of the men in these North
west states understand what this war
means, what part the United States
Government must take in this war if
it is to be brought to a successful
conclusion.
"They know that the people of the
United States, individually and collec-
lively, must stand by their Govern
ment if it is to accomplish it's great
ambition and bring harmonious peace
to the world.
"They know that America must
finance her Allies and that if America
furnishes the money it means victory.
Every American must do his full
share. / know that the men and
women of the Northwest appreciate
their duty to their Government and
will perform it at whatever cost to
themselves. They have learned that |
everyone in America must get under |
the load which America is carrying |
for the democracy of the world.
Realizing all this and feeling |
strongly the righteousness of the |
cause, we are soldiers, and whatever
tie Government in which we are stock |
holders asks us to do, we will do.

Our Individual Part

Some observers think that the
most characteristic thing about
the American soldiers in France,
something which astounds the
enemy and excites the admiration
of our allies, is the capacity of the
American soldiers to do individual
thinking and fighting. The Ger
man fights successfully only in
mass formation, in organized
bodies, while every American SCI
dies has an initiative and indepen-
dence of action which gives him
remarkable efficiency in open
fighting. They are not senseless
cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in a great fighting
machine.
Every American at home should
feel an individual responsibility
and do his or her individual part
in winning the war. There is not
an American citizen who will not
help win the war. The Fourth
Liberty Loan drive, which begins
September %, offers a great
opportunity for concerted action,
and for individual action, and the
loan will be a tremendous success
if each American will do his or
her individual part as each Amer
lean soldier in France does his
part. Our soldiers deserve such
from the people at home.

Another Bouquet

Every now and then we art
handed a bouquet for the splendid
paper we get out every week
We sometimes think we are moi
entitled to half of it, but anyhow
let that be as it may, below we
publish a letter we received a few
days ago from a perfect stranger
who sometime ago asked us to
send him the Banner.
Evidently after reading the Ban
ner awhile he received a good i'm
preston of Circle and her pro-
gressive business men, which
again proves that a good live
local paper is real asset to a town.
A stranger often judges a town by
its newspaper, which is its silent
representative, and a good way to
attract the pubiic's attention.
The letter reads:

Last of all, the farm tractor has ap-

but as yet with no perceptible dis

Unusual and large demands for
horses for war purposes have been
made since the autumn of 1914. Dur
ing the ten years preceding, from 49,
coo to 10000 horses were exported an

5000 to $4,000, so that the net exports

war 2S9,340 horses were exported, in
the second 357,553, and in the third
278,674 horses, and within less than
year the needs of the army of this
country have called for large number

Notwithstanding the various forces

The war has got to come TO an
end, and Germany may as well
recognize the fact. Every hour
of delay in recognizing this is
going TO make matters worse for
her, every new atrocity she per-
petrates is going to add to the
sum of her retribution. Bombing
hospitals, and sinking hospital
Ships udically numbering Belgians
and wringing their last franc
from them, may be German policy,
but it is uncommonly shortsighted

THRILLING PRODUCTION

One of the most intensely absorb
ing motion picture productions ever
seen in Bemidji was that at the Rex
theater last evening when Selznick
presented 1.-The Lone Wolf" starring
Hazel Dawn 1t is in eight reels and
is chock full of action from start to
finish, thrilling events following in
rapid succession. 1t will be shown
again tonight.
The story is of a noted Paris crook
whose startling robberies are done
alone and he becomes celebrated as
the Lone Wolf, he having no con-
federates. In the course Of these ad-
ventures, he meets a wonderful girl
who, he believes, is herself a crook,
but who is in reality secret SER
vice agent. The Lone Wolf saves
her from the pack and they escape
from France to England in an aero
plane, after several stormy scenes in
which they pass through many thrill
ing perils. In the end the girl dis
closes her identity but let's the Wolf
escape under the promise of reforma-
ton, and it is left to the spectators
to imagine a subsequent reunion of
the couple, under happier and more
tender circumstances.

ELKO TONIGHT

There are society" films, films
showing the struggles of the poor
to make living, and films dealing
with the lives of the ultra-rich. But
a photoplay that combines all these
phases of life and still others is a
rare treat. It is to be found in 1.-THE
Trouble Buster" an attractively
cheerful film starring Vivian Mar
tin at the Elko theater tonight This
pleasing feature was shown here for
one day only during "heatless' days
and is returned that those who miss
ed the initial showing may have an
opportunity to see this exceedingly
pleasing feature. The same applies
to Son of His Father" featuring
Charles Ray, which will be at the
Elko tomorrow, Saturday. {

SERVICE FLAG DEDICATED

Impressive patriotic services were
held last evening in the Scandinavian
Lutheran church, at which time the
service flag, donated by the Mems
society of the church, was dedicated.
The church was prettily decorated in
Fthe national colors and an interest
ing program was given. There were
nine stars on the flag, representing
the nine boys who have left the con-
gregation to serve their country.
They are Palmer Anderson, Carl
Rygg, Thomas Hillestad, Alvin o.
son, Kern Olson, Christ Larson,
Harto Aubolee, James Klungness and
George Klungness. The program
consisted of vocal solos by Miss Alice
Hetland and Miss Martha Kohl, song
by the Girls chorus, reading by Miss
Vera Backus and an address by Rev.
OsmOnd Johnson.

THEATERS
GRAND TONIGHT

Platonic friendship has always
been great source of argument.
Some hold it as harmless and others
regard it as mischievous. In Tri-
angles great photoplay, "The Argu-
ment," which will be shown at the
Grand theater tonight, platonic
friendship leads to tragedy. 1.-THE
Argument" is a tremendous story of
the emotions, and will make a mark
in the minds of millions. This story
was written by Ira (Jack) Cunning
ham, son of M. F. Cunningham Of
this city.
An added attraction at the Grand
tonight and tomorrow is the famous
FATTY" Arbuckle in his new Para
mount two-part comedy "The Bell
Boy" This comedy is having it's
first Minneapolis run at the Strand
theater this week.

1.-The Debt of Honor"

In "The Debt Of HONOR at the
Rex Saturday, Peggy Hyland makes
her debut as a star under the banner
of William Fox. Taken all in all the
debut is most suspicious. She has
been provided with a good support
ing cast, a production not only lavish
but perfect in detail, and above all
good story. So perfectly does it
fit her distinctive type of beauty,
her youth, her manner of acting and
her every mannerism that it seems
it must have been conceived and
written in her mind, and her alone,
as the star. If this is the case then
the more to be commended is the
work of Eve Unsell, the author.
Also a good comedy.
