CAUSE OF NEAR EAST r..
RELIEF MAY NOT SUFFER

The cause of the Near East Relief
is not likely to suffer because few
workers of the organization in Con-
stantinople proved to be dishonest
and appropriated for their own use
small amount of goods intended
for the suffering people Of a stricken
country. And the confidence of the
American people in the possibility
of the organization should be in
creased because the, managing di-
rector is efficient enough to bring to
trial and to strict account the wrong
doors. -
Any public mistrust that may have
been aroused at reported mismanage-
ment and transportation Of goods
or funds should be removed with the
assurance that such action will not
continue and that guilty parties will
be punished. What has happened in
the work of the Near East Relief is
likely to happen in the operation Of
any charitable enterprise, and it has
happened in others in recent years.
The difference now is that the form r
Near East workers have been put on
trial.

BILLS THANKSGIVING.

Bill was born and raised in Nor
thern Minnesota. He attended coun-
try school and had finished the fifth
grade when his mother died. Follow
ing the course of some of the older
boys in the neighborhood, he wan
dered north and worked in the lumber
camps for several years. From there
he drifted to Bemidji and worked in
the saw mill. Bill tried to save and
wanted to improve his education. He
had just passed his eighteenth BIRTH
day, and feeling that he might i'm
prove himself, drifted into Minneap-
oils, the later part Of October. After
spending several hours in the employ
ment district he was approached by
one of the army recruiters, who ex-
planned to him the wonderful oppor-
tunities the army offers a young nan
in assisting him to secure an. educa-
ton and also the chance to learn a
trade. Bill said, "All my life I have
been looking for this opportunity. "
And as he boarded the train that
night for San Antosio, Texas, the
home of the Second division, where
the flowers bloom the year around,
Bill said to his companion, Gust Rask
of Princeton, Minnesota, who also
had enlisted that day and was en-
route to the same station, "Say Boy!
We sure are going to have some
Thanksgiving this year"

AMONG THE BIG PLAYS
I. !. "HUMORESQUE" APPEALING

After all, lavish settings and spec
tacular scenes are not absolute re-
quisites for the truly great motion
picture. "Humoresque," on view at
the Elko next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, is among the big photo
plays of the year because it impresses
one with it's sincere and intense heart
appeal: 1t is a story of human be-
ings assthey are. Tears and laughter
intermingle in it, as they do in real
life The story of the genius of the
violin who, aided by the beautiful
gift, mother-loye, rose from pbscurity
and poverty to the heights Strikes a
responsive chord in every heart. +
"Humoresque" was adapted from
Fannie Hurst's novel, of the same
name. The chief characters are por-
trayed with rare understanding by
Alma Rubens, CASTOR Glass, Vera
Gordon and Dore Davidson.

is to be the main Offering at the Rex

I The scenic background of this pic

mountains of the northwest. ,
/. Here amid all this beauty of the
great out doors is enacted an. unique
drama of many startling and unique
twists and turns. Under the con1bre

young woman is found wandering
alone and bereft, of her memory. Elk
citement, suspense, mystery and the
Supreme question as to who she is
fill the five reels in which "The Girl
From Nowhere" is presented with in
terest Of the most gripping nature.
The climax of the story is reached
when the villaipous> Klondyke Jim,
who has forced the helpless girl to
the marriage altar against her will,
is unmasked and made to pay for his
wrongdoing. This picture contains
what is perhaps the most impressive
and dramatic surprise Of any photo
play Of the year. The action leads
up to- point where it seems that
heaven itself must intervene to save
the beautiful girl from the arms of
the bestial brute whom she is about
to marry. The climax is as astound-
ing as it is unexpected.
Great care and lavish expenditure
marked the production of this pic
ture. The scene representing the
dance hall Of the so-called "Palace"
of the little mining town is one of
the biggest settings of its kind ever
attempted in picture taking. s.

"BR0THERs DIVIDED" IS
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

"Brothers Divided" which appears
at the Grand theatre tonight, last
times, presents Frank keenan, in one
of the most delightful, Wholesome
ed, human interest pictures it has
long time.
In. the dual role, his fist, Frank
Keenan, draws such a definite line be-
tween the two brothers of totally diff
ferent temperature, that even, such
blase reviewer as the writer forgot
that they were one man.
The story transports the spectator
into the sordid heart of small town
where Matthew King, grabbed and
selfish, rules. Women and children
slave for small wages in his mill. The
men hang around the Saloon. Then
comes Matthew's brother, Tom. An
adventurous spirit had led Tom into
trouble that sent him to prison for
life, but, after twenty years, he is
pardoned.
Prison taught Tom the lesson of
humanity, and when Matthew is
stricken with paralysis Tom takes
over the mill. He tells the people he
is an ex-convict and asks for a
chance. The way in which the little
town, under Toms square deal poll
cies, changes from dirty, rundown
mudhole, to thriving beauty spot,
and the happiness and prosperity in
the homes cannot fail to move the
spectator.
A pretty little love story runs
thruout the story between Tom s
musical son, Max, and the florists
pretty daughter.
