the Bismarck Tribune:
The Publicity Film Co. has
Just completed one Of the Burnstad

across the river, what are said by
experts to be the best bucking pic

Tho star performer Of this produce

voted in getting George, who. like
all artists, is a trifle Temperament

would pose for the motion camera.
When George finally did come &c.
cross he did it magnifcently, bring
ing with him from Montana, where
he had been riding recently, a herd
of the widest, unbroken horses
that have been seen in this section
of the country since frontier days.
Fred Holmboe Of the Publicity

Indians or genuine cowboys, and
sections Of the picture which have
been completed have attracted much
attention"

The Dutch ships. Communicated last

will be returned to Holland according
to an announcement made by the Ship

The return will take place as fast as the
ships enter United States ports as the
conclusion Of present voyages. This
action is taken because the war emer-
yency and the necessity, under which the
ships were taken. has passed and it is
the desire OF the board to restore ships
and trade TO normal channels as rapidly
as possible. There are 81 OF these ships
