ELKO THEATER,

They met head-on' in turn on a
lonely country road and both cars
stopped with splintering of glass,
in the Triangle play, BETTY Takes a
Hand" starring Olive Thomas at the
Elko theater tonight and Saturday,
matinee and night.
This was Betty Marshall's intro
duction to James Bartlett, multi-mil-
lionaire politician, and the man who
had once been her fathers partner
in mining venture. Now Betty's
father was poor, while Bartlett was
rolling in wealth. Peter Marshall
had vowed to his daughter that Jim
Bartlett had swindled him. Betty's
resourcefulness won the heart of the
old millionaire and he ended by Of
fering her $4,000 to marry his son,
Tom, who had but recently run away
from home.
Betty Marshall knew more about
Tom than did his father, and the big
surprise of this Triangle comedy
drama is how Betty's brains won the
husband of her choice in spite of I'M
usual obstacles.
Incidentally, this story was pic
turized by Jack Cunningham, a for
mer Bemidji resident.

BEMIDU MAN IN FRANCE
WRITES LETTER TO SISTER

Sergeant Carl J. Rye, A. E. F.,
Company D, Tenth engineers, on &C
tive, service with the American ex-
peditionary force, formerly with the
c. w. Jewett company Of this city,
has written his sister, Miss Magda
Rygg. The letter Is dated Deem
Der 16, 1917, and says in part:
1--WE are getting along fine with
our work here and have started a
sergeants' club. We had our grand
opening last Saturday and had a big
banquet. Say, you should have seen
the table. You wouldn't believe that
men could set such an attractive one.
We have rented room in this small
town near our camp, where we have
our sleeping quarters, so think we
are very we'll off for being in the
army. I visited large city 80 miles
from here last week. The scenery
was MOST beautiful along the road.
Most Of this road Is cut out of the side
of the mountain. F.. Werner is en-
joying these sights every day. We
have about three inches of snow here
now, go it makes it quite slippery
riding motorcycles, that being what
I ride when I go any place. Hope
that Christmas box will not get lost.
This company Is going to give the
small children of this town, of
which there are about $50, Christ
mas tree and a small gift for each,
and also candy, nuts, etc. I'll bet
they won't be looking for anything
like that to happen"

Law Of. the Family,

No man lives for himself alone.
Whether we will or not, we are de-
pendent on the exertions of others and
others are affected by our good or
evil acts, says Paris T. Farwell in the
Congregationalist. We belong to q
family, a town, a state, nation, to the
great family of mankind. Absolute
liberty is not possible even for the
members of family except as the lib
erty is guided by good will. If in u
home each member considered himself
alone, disregarding the wishes and
welfare of others, the result would be
destruction. That is the best society
in which the law Of the family is APP
Piled on the largest scale. The Golden
Rule is the only law by which ideal So
ciety can be obtained. 1--WE are menu
bers one Of another"

story of a woman's love, set in the
midst of war, the scenes taking place
in Berlin at the time America de-
clared war In this maelstorm, a
young American woman is caught,
but the affairs of her heart are not
overcome, even by the strife.
Miss Gladys Brockwell does bril-

leading figure, and nothing that she
has done before can compare with
it. It gives an idea of the terrific
conditions that attend war which no

A good comedy will also be shown
