"THE BLUE BIRD" SUPERB
AIRCRAFT PICTURE TO BE
/ SHOWN AT STRAND THEATRE

"The Blue Bird, an Aircraft picture,
will be shown at. the Strand Theatre
next, Monday, Dec. Is, under the aus
,pices of. the Ladies' Reading Circle. 1t
is an adaptation, by Charles Maigne,
from Maeterlincks masterpiece, which
has attracted wide. attention in the
dramatic and literary world. The great
author took for his central figures I
little boy and girl, and for them he:
drew aside the. curtain of life, delved
into the past and, touched eloquently
upon the great Beyond. ~
;, In the form of play, as produced
in London and later in New York, the
story teemed with dramatic interest,
and instead of heavy preachment or
a dry sermon it developed into a virile
presentation, sparkling with vivacity.
In adapting this work to motion pic
lures, director Maurice ,TOurneur, who
staged the production, has carried out
the idea of the author in making the
photoplay understandable.
The result is unique play, Of stu
pendous magnitude, in which is incOr-
porated the highest technique of photo
graphic art, with multiple film ex-
posures requiring infinite care and pa
thence. Settings of colossal size >and
ensembles of hundreds of people make
this photoplay a mighty spectacular
Offering in which the artistic details
have been carefully looked after.

GREAT WASTE OF FUEL.

The Sheaf has received a communica-
ton from j. j. Opsahl of Bemidji, in
which he urges that all idle men and
teams in the villages and cities and on
prairie farms proceed at once to the
1918 Burned Over District in Northern
Minnesota and get out the abundance
of fuel now going to waste there Tor
want of teams and men to market same.
Millions of cords of dead and down
timber are going to, waste there, wood
that can be had for the mere cutting
and hauling. With such an abundance
of wood fuel at our door almost, the
lack of coal ought not to inconyenience
us as much as it does. Mr.. Opsahl's
suggestion that the people Of the state
make use of this dead and down tim
Der is very timely. Removing the dead
timber will help clear the land for the
settlers and make it available for cul-
tivation One reason why wood prices
are so high here, in fact almost pro-
hibitive, is the high cost, Of labor for
cutting and hauling to market. Freight
charges are also very high. At this
critical time of fuel scarcity, the rail-
roads, should encourage the use OF wood
/ fuel by reducing freight charges there
on to the lowest rate possible Any
plan that will lessen the consumption
of coal at this time will help out the
nation to just that extent and should
receive careful consideration,

Results of Physical Examinations of
School Children in Marshall
County.
By Elizabeth M. Hanson, r. N.

VI. H.. ~
Since children is the most important
crop a country can raise, it will, no
doubt, be of considerable interest to
the citizens of Marshall county to know
the physical record of their school
children. Abnormal teeth, tonsils, and
adenoids are the defects most frequent
~ found, and in many cases these de-
fects are so bad as to cause general
toxic condition of the child This ma
turally results in mental retardatiOn,
in-attention, and delinquency.
A total Of PIP pupils in School Dis
tricts %, "a, Al, % and 80 of New
Solum, IS and II of Newfolden, 80, 142

amined. Only seven were found to be
apparently without physical defects,

Great Northern Local
Train Taken Off

The local train on the St. Vincent
line from Crookston north was sus-
pended last Saturday, for an indefinite
time. This action was taken in con-
fOrmity to a general order by the u s.
fuel administration to curtail railway
service as much as possible with a view
of conserving coal. Hundreds of
trains in all parts of the United States
have been suspended on account Of the
fuel shortage, and all duplicatio nOf
service has been eliminated as far as
possible. It is safe to say that so
drastic step in the face of the Christ
mas. business and large increase OF
travel at that time; would not have
been taken without. good and weighty
reasons FOR such action. The fact is
that the fuel shortage is much more
serious than the general public realizes,
and It is absolutely necessary to save
coal IN every :. conceivable way. Re-
strict ions have been placed on coal sup
piled to the industries Of the country
according to the necessity for their
operation. Many industries deemed I'M
necessary have had their supply of coal
curtailed entirely. g. II sts:s
The taking away Of the local will be
a great inconvenience to the people re-
siding along the st. Vincent line be.
tween Crookston and st. Vincent. The
flyer must now take care Of the passen
ger mail and express business formerly
done by the local and as that train runs
at night, the public will be greatly in
convenienced, especially, as regards
north bound traffic While no effort
has been made seemingly to run the
local on schedule time, and there has
been considerable complaint on that
score, yet the train will be missed now
that it has been suspended entirely, 1t
is to be hoped that the coal situation
may improve soon that the local train
service may be restored.

SUGGESTIONS TO PATRONS ::r+e
{: 49, 4. OF WARREN POST OFFICE

Owing to many changes in the rail-
way mail service throughout the states
and to avoid delays in delivery Of mail,
patrons of the Warren post Office are
advised to pay attention to the follow
ing suggestions offered by Postmaster
G. A. Tullar, -
Deliver all firstclass mail to the post
Office as early in the day as possible,
make an extra effort to do so. Mail
going east on the 500 should be mailed
not later than 500 P. M. to insure it's
dispatch. Mail going west on the 500
should be mailed the day before or not
later than 8 40 A. M. of the same day.
Mail to go north ON the Great Northern
must be mailed not later than 6 100 p.
M. the day before: and mail going
south on the Great Northern must be
mailed not later than 6 80 P. M.
Business men and merchants having
large mailings must make an extra
effort to get as much of their mail to
the Office as early in the day as is pos
sible in order to insure its dispatch.
The equipment of the Office is made
5auate both as to case room and clerks
to handle a large quantity OF mail
dumped into the Office only short time
before the closing hour, 1870 P. M.
Face large mailtngs, placing a rubber
band, or cord around the package
and hand it in at the window, or drop
thru the package opening. Do not mix
mail to be registered with other mail
but keep it separate and hand it. in at
the window, otherwise it is quite liable
to pass thru the mails unregistered.
If return receipts are desired they
should be made out by the sender and
attached to the back Of the letter
Forms for this purpose may be- obtain
ed at the post Office without charge.
Christmas packages should begin tc
