On Thursday and Friday Of this
week a case of local interest was
tried in District Court at Park Rap
ids, wherein James Douglas, farm
er living in the town of Hegla, and
about ten miles from Bemidji,

that in August, 1917, Durand had

joining the plaintiffs land, and had
negligently watched and tended the
fire so that it ran into the plaintiffs
meadow, and destroyed quantity Of
hay, and burned out the soil of the
meadow and rendered a portion of it
worthless.
The jury yesterday afternoon re-
turned a verdict for Mr.. Durand, the
defendant, finding that he neither set
the fire negligently, nor that he fail
ed to use due care in extinguishing
the fire after it was discovered.
Graham M. Torrance represented
the defendant in the action, and re-
turned to Bemidij last evening.

1920 H, 5. CLASS
HOLD COMMENCEMENT

The commencement exercises or
the 1920 High school class was held
last night in the Grand theatre be
fore large audience. Opening with
march by the school orchestra and
procession Of the graduates in cap
and gown to their places on the
stage, the program was carried thru
as outlined on the descriptive pro-
grams.
Miss Bertha Webster gave the
Salutatory address which was fol-
lowed by selections from the Boys
and Girls Glee club.
The Valedictorian was Miss Caro-
lyn Campbell. Both Miss Webster
and Miss Campbell had carefully pre-
pared addresses expressing the senti-
ment of the class to their parents,
teachers and school.
President j. G. Brown Of the St.
Cloud Normal school then gave the
commencement address taking his
audience back to the old days Of the

and vagabond school teacher. POr-
traying the marvellous changes in ed
ucation during the last century, he
finally impressed very strongly the
necessity Of providing adequate in
struction for the present day student
who could no more be equipped by
old methods and standards today
than could the pullman express give
away again to the OK cart or the
automobile to the mule team
Do not handicap your boy or girl

of life when their competitors are
running free from such weights was
the final word of advice LETT with the
audience.

Controlling Works at Outlet Of
Lake to Be Provided
In Bill
MUCH RICH LAND
TO BE RECLAIMED
Object Not Only to Prevent
Floods But Provide Drain
age Outlets for Land

Washington, LAY 20. Especial to
Pioneer)-The committee on Flood
Control today favorably reported to
the House the Red Lake Bill with
amendments suggested by the Secre-
tary of the Interior. 1t now includes
authority to construct controlling
works at the outlet and to deepen
and straighten the Red Lake river
and it's tributaries which include the
Clearwater river, along which is some
of the richest bottom lands in the
state. Half Of them on the Indian
reservation and half outside. The bill
carried authority to sell Indian lands
to reimburse the United States for
the sum expended on it's part in the
project and in carrying out this pro-
vision the department will offer for
sale to settlers part Of this valuable
reclaimed land not required for al
lotments to Red Lake Indians which
will mean, an influx OF desirable set
tiers and great development for the
region in the near future.
The purpose is not only to prevent
floods, but to provide drainage outlets
for millions Of acres in Itasca, Bel
trami, Clearwater, Pennington, Red
Lake and Marshall counties and to
conserve and develop water power
that will be made to pay about one
half of the cost of the improvement.
Congressman Halvor STEVENSON and
Harold Knutson, who has charge of
the bill, expect to call it up under
suspension of the rules and have it
passed at the first opportunity.

ACTRESS BE0UEATB
EYE5T0 SCIENCE

Clara Kimball Young, famous film
star who attributes most of her sue
cess to her eyes and whose eyes are
insured for fortune, has offered her
eyes to. science, the delivery to be
made after death. She has willed
that Immediately after her death, her
eyes shall be taken by some noted
scientist, to be selected. If the ad-
vance in learning at that time will
permit reading Of the retina, she
wants the picture developed, but she
wants both eyes to be studied that
the world may learn more Of the
power of the human eye and that
the whole mechanism Of the eyes
which have swayed the emotions Of
thousands, may give up its secret.
Why can this girl with her eyes
bring smiles or tears at will? Why
without change of expression can she
convey to an audience through those
windows the impression of anger, con-
tentment, love, anxiety, sorrow or
wonder? These are some of the ques-
tions that Miss Young wants science
to answer after her death.
The girl heard so many references
to her eyes that she naturally asked
questions about them and interest in
eyes never left her.
''Why are my eyes different from
others?" was one of the questions
she often asked her grandfather, and
grandfather had to go into the depths
of both poetry and physics for his
answers. Still his answers never sat-
isfed completely the girls desire for
knowledge.
II believe that the dream of the
mind, the thought uppermost, will be-
come so impressed on the mind that
it will be revealed in the retina,"
Miss Young said. ''Perhaps I have
not become as scientific as others,
but this thought has impressed me
from girlhood. If the good and bad
things are expressed in the eyes Of
life, there must be some record Of
these things after death. l cannot
believe that all the beauties merely
pass through the mind and end in
merely momentary impression.
An exceptional opportunity to
see these wonderful eyes Of Miss
Young's in all their beauty is given
in eyes of YOUTH" showing at the
Rex theatre commencing tomorrow
afternoon.

INDEPENDENT FILM
Il MEN BLOCK TRUST
=: CONTROL OF SCREEN
Rex Theatre Owners May Be
=. Offered Franchise Right
i: in Organization

Demidji may soon be included in the
war which two factions are wagine
TN Supremacy in the motion picture
industry. On one side are large pro-
ducing. companies who are intent upon
monopo1izing every branch Of the bus
mess from actors to theatres, and on
the other are large number Of in
dependent exhibitors, stars and d.
rectors who have merged into op-
position to this, would-be trust in a
cooperative organization called the
Associated First National Pictures,
Inc, which is waging the battle to
keep theatres Independent and the
development of genius unrestricted.
A three-days' inspection of this ter
ritory as a motion picture exhibiting
field has just been completed, and
before leaving the city today to re-
port to the Associated First National
Pictures headquarters for this terri
tory the field survey official said that
without a doubt some exhibitor in
the city would be invited to join in
the move to keep the would-be trust
from obtaining the death grip on
motion pictures.
Secrecy Attends Result.
While he would not go into the de-
tails of the report he is to make he
declared that Bemidji graded so high
as a field for: the exhibition of pic
lures that beyond a doubt it had al
ready been included in the plans of
those who are attempting the monopo-
lization of the industry as the location
of a trust-owned theatre. For this
reason alone, he declared, the Asso-
ciated First National Pictures, Inc,
would be inclined to grant sub
franchise to some theatre owner here
in order to prevent the sitting OF
competition.
Associated First National Pictures,
Inc., is the name chosen by an asso-
citation Of exhibitors, now numbering
six thousand, who have rebelled
against an idea Of giant financial
monopoly of motion pictures. Sew
eral months ago efficiency experts
retained by men who had purchased
a great number of shares in several
of the companies that produce mo-
ton pictures expounded the theory
that there was a great amount OF
waste in permitting recognized stars
of the screen and we'll known d.
rectors to spend any amount OF
money they deemed necessary to film
a production. They pointed out that
smaller companies whose capital was
necessarily limited held down produc-
ton expenses, and that there was no
reason why the larger companies,
with practically unlimited capital,
could not do the same thing. A
