back into the room.
Mr.. Lyons rescued several people

the stairs aflame at the time. He was
returning into the burning building to
rescue the Mahoney children.

Why Wallace Beery Visits the Beauty
SpecialiSt.


Wallace Berry, the we'll known mo-
ton picture actor, who appears in
'The objectionable SIM" prominent in
the support Of Blanche Sweet, will re-
member his engagement in the big
photoplay for a long time-and for
very practical reasons.
In order that he might look the part
ne was called upon to play, Mr.. Berry
found it advisable to manufacture a
scar about six inches long on his left
cheek. The manufacturing" was
done with the aid Of homely first
aid preparation, and held in the posi-
ton by "a sticky collodion substance
which dries tightly enough to resemble
liquid glue.
The scar was wonderful success
from the standpoint of the director
and Berry screened perfectly for the
part: It so happens, however, that
the mining OF the Berry scenes requir-
ed such long time that when the
actor tried to get back to his normal
cast OF countenance he found it ex-
tremely difficult. For days at time
Mr.. Berry slept with the "scar" on his
face, finding it easier to keep the
makeup on than to put it on a-fresh
each morning, and when the time
came that he wanted to be without the
scar, to secure another engagement
where comely face would fiji better
than disfgured one, the "scar" had
been so we'll wrinkled in that it refus
ed to come out. AS recently as q week
ago. Mr.. Berry was making daily trips
to beauty specialist, la Lillian Rus
sell, to have "his beauty ironed."
"The objectionable Sin" will be
shown at the Strand Theatre, Oct. 20,

LITTLE STORIES OF THE
STREET.

!. !. x :: !. X = !. ;. X :. !: X !. !. !.
Time was when the police Of Minot
were in danger of having their pockets
picked, in fact Ed Kelley often tells
the story of robbing the late Dan
kimball, who constituted the entire
police force of Minot in the early days,
in broad daylight. Dan was enjoying
the sights of Minot when Kelley came
along and deity took Dams watch out
of his pocket, unlocked it from the
chain and got away with the officers
time piece, which was returned to him
later after diligent search was made
for it.
Sag Richardson, member of the po-
lice force during LeSueur's administ-
ration, was robbed of valuable meer-
chaum pipe which was taken right out
of his mouth. 1t happened this way.
Sag had been on duty for long time
and was sitting on the street smoking,
when he went to sleep. Some wag
gently removed the pipe without dis
turbing Says rest and went to Stanley
with it. Sag heard of the trick and
caused the mans arrest, but the pipe
was returned and the affair was drop
ped.
Harry Lewis was made special DO.
liceman at the time of the l. w. w,
trouble and he was set to watch a
gang of Weary Wobblies near the Lee
land hotel. Harry had been on duty
a long time, so sat down on the steps
and fell asleep. A fellow policeman
came along and thot it would be a !
good joke to steal the officers hat. He
took it to the police station. Later
heavy rain fell, waking the officer.
Missing his hat, he went to his home
and secured another and it was some
weeks before he claimed his cid" at
the police station.

it is at least comforting to know that we may produce alcohol from potatoes at the rate of from 200 to 400 gallons per acre, since the experts state that a bushel of potatoes will produce a gallon of alcohol and it is well known that potatoes can be grown at the rate of 200 bushels per acre in the United States and 300 to 800 bushels per acre in Germany, which country in fact produces nearly one third of the pota- toes of the world where attention has especially been given to the production of the alcohol potato.
 The number of horses in the world today, said the lecturer, is about 140,- 100000 and they require for their sus- tenance enough land to produce food for 00,000, 900 people. If we can sub stitute the internal combustion engine for the horse, we shall not only de- velop that great undeveloped area. the tropics, where the horse is unaSle to perform service. but also release for the production of fCSl for man enor- nous areas now utilized in producing food for horses which will then be nc longer required.
