MINNESOTA COUNTIES
AID IN RELIEF FUND

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2s.-The cry Of
European children for American re-
lief this winter, has been heard In
nearly so Minnesota counties where
committees have been organized to
take charge of the Christmas collec-
ton of the European Relief Council
and in nearly every county organized,
women and children are taking lead
ing part in the campaign.
This announcement was authorized
today at state headquarters of the Eu-
ropean Relief Council, which is seek
ing to raise nationally a fund of $685.
600, 900 for relief work in Central
and Eastern Europe. Herbert
Hoover, head of the council which
comprises eight great relief organi'
cations, is confident this will be the
final American campaign to help Eu'
ropes war sufferers.
Mr.. Hoover declared in message
from New York that the relief in Eu
rope will be administered by thu

Chinaman, without announcing his
plan, has done something quite us re-

He has not done it alone. He has

Not many years ago the prizes OF

couldn't see under. The chief purpose
in the life of that hog was to turn
corn into lard. Now it's the pig type
that is popular, the pig that makes
more lean meat, more bacon and more
ham.
What has done it? For one thing

"POLLYANNA" AT REX
THEATRE ON SATURDAY

When thousands upon thousands of
people start to play the same game,
game that is unusual in its every de-
tail, and yet quite simple, one nat
urally becomes interested. The game
of "Pollyanna," in other words, the
game of being "glad," has swept this
country from coast to coast and III
has gotten such a stronghold upon
the people that they have gone so far
as to exclaim that IF there was a
'Pollyanna' in every household, we
would, in time, be able to close half
of our hospitals and reformatories
and sanatoriums-halfo of our medical
schools and drug stores and we would
put half of our physicians and law
yers out Of practice"
For that reason, Mary Pickford,
who will appear in the screen YER
sion of "Pollyanna" at the Rex the
atre on Saturday, was recently ask
ed to talk about this wonderful glad
game" This picture is Miss Pick
ford's first independently produced
picture for United Artists corpora
ton.
'Pollyanna' is playing a game
remarked Miss Pickford, "and the
glad game doesn't mean that we are
to rejoice that we have broken leg
or because people are starving some

THE DAUGHTER PAYS" AT
ELKO TODAY AND TOMORROW

Elaine .Hammerstein will essay in
her latest Selznick Picture, THE
Daughter Pays" which comes to the
Elko theatre tonight and Wednesday
q role that offers greater dramatic
and emotional opportunities than any
she has yet appeared in. In the
screen version of the story by Mrs.
Baltic Reynolds the star reveals two
striking domestic questions that can
not but retain the interest of motion
picture audiences. The first question
is whether woman dare risk her
happiness on the financial altar, and
this is augmented by how great a
sacrifice should mother demand In
the name OF filial devotion.
Il Is intimated that these ques-
lions are not answered in the pic
ture. On the contrary, the spec
tator will have the pleasure Of pom
dering the issues that are interviewer
in the fabric of the plot.
Miss Hamme>stein is cast in the
role Of serious. refined and sensi-
tive girl who is forced to bear untold
humiliation in her marriage of con-
venience with a wealthy man, whose
one object in life is to make the
daughter pay for an injury done him
by her mother.
Robert Ellis has an important
role in the supporting. cast, and he
also officiates in the capacity Of d.
rector. Norman-Trevor will be seen
in the leading male role, and seen

Maxwell Conover is prominent In the
