NEW MIX FEATURE FINE EN-
AMPLE OF FILM ATMOSPHERE

Screen atmosphere, or attention 10
the detail which makes for perfectioh
in motion pictures, is receiving more
and more attention from film produc-
ers. A striking example of this Is
1.-THE Feud," the new Tom Mix picture
which William Fox will present at
Pastime Wednesday, May 10.
Much of the action of this feature Is
laid in the ante-bellum days when
women wore hoopskirts and men wore
their hair long. The matter OF cos
Times was easy enough to settle, for
old illustrations were obtainable from
which the costumes for Tom Mix, eva
Novak and supporting players were
copied.
Rut il was a hard task to secure the
theatrical properties Two carriages
of the vintage of 1860 were necessary
for the opening episode, in which the
two feudist fathers clash over lhe
right of way. One carriage was Cd
tanned from the descendants of can
fornia forty-niner at San Pedro, some
twenty-five miles from the big FOX
studios at Hollywood, Calf. But it was
necessary to send to San Francisco for
the second carriage, which was I'M
earthed after quite a search.
It took nearly as much time to get
the pistols used in one scene Tor the
old fiintlocks could not be used nor
could the modern revolvers Finally
a couple of smoothbore percussion cap
pistole were found in the private col
lection of a member of the Pasadena
millionaire colony and the owner al
lowed them to be used on condition
that he be allowed to load them him

ance, as, dripping and clammy from
his ablutions and wrapped in toga-

Beggs had just stepped into the tub,
at about o'clock, when his wife found
that she had to go out on an errand
and left, after informing her husband.
A few minutes later Beggs heard the
front door open and, afterward, the
sound of drawers being pulled out. He
paid no attention for some time, think

dawned on him that the footsteps that
he heard weren't those of a woman.
So, stopping only to seize a towel
he slipped into his bedroom. got a re-
volver and went out into the kitchen
when the last sound had gone.
AS he stepped into the room he was
confronted by masked man. He inn

but neither bullet took effect, and the
burglar went out through the back

The householder fired two more
shots after the intruder before he
turned the corner, but apparently boil
missed him. Then Beggs returned in

How Appetite Affects Health

lack of an appetite, far too often con-
sidered lightly, is in reality a serious
thing.
without food you can not live. With
out enough food you feel weak and
eventually your system is completely
run down. The appetite brings food
into the stomach. This food is digest
ed and the nutrition taken from it is
carried by the blood to the tissues and
organs of the body, building them up
and strengthening them. If the appe-
tite is poor and does not bring enough
food into the stomach, then not enough
nutrition is given tissues and organs
and they become weak and run down.
For that reason the appetite is impor-
tant If the appetite is not good and
does not bring enough food into your
stomach, you cannot be strong and
well.
One of the first things that can he
noticed after use of Vola-Tonic,
Builder OF Strength" is started, is
an increase in the appetite. Vola-Tonic
brings a normal, healthy appetite and
thus corrects the lack of appetite that
is robbing many men and women of
health and strength. In addition. VIOLA
Tonic helps digestion, builds M the
blood. soothes the nerves and thus
helps health in every way.

PRESIDENT ELECT
AT POINT ISABEL
DSCREDlTS RUM0RS
Relative to Informal Confer
ence With Mexican Leaders
or Preliminary Conversa-
tions With European Gov
ernmentS.

On board Harding's special train
Nov. 8.-Coming to Texas for vaca-
tion after the trying requirements of
his campaign, President-Elect Hard
ing declared today that he was de-
termined to put the thots of his COM
ing responsibilities out of his mind
for the next two weeks
From the time of his arrival at
Point Isabel a remote village on the
southern Texas coast, he was ready
to plunge unreservedly into the swing
of a real vacation. A mornings fish
ing expedition and an afternoon on
the golf links were to constitute his
routine, virtually every day Of his
visit
The fact that Point Isabel lies only
miles from the Mexican border has
given rise to many whispering of pos
sible conferences between the new
President and representatives of tho
new regime in Mexico, but those clos
est to Mr.. Harding were inclined o
throw cold water on such reports. Mr..
Harding himself said today no such
conferences were lin prospect" and
he had heard them expressed only in
newspaper speculation.
The same attitude was taken by
the president-elect toward published
suggestions that he might begin be-
fore his Inauguration informal, con-
versations with European govern
ments regarding the formulation of
an association of nations.
The delicacy of Mr.. Harding's po-
sition in that regard has been point
ed out more than once by those
closely associated with him. Elected
to the presidency by an Overwhelming
majority after promising changes in
he nations foreign policy he natural
ly is looked to by foreign government.

changes into. effect. Yet by provis-
ion of American law unique among
greater powers Of the world he re-
mains q private citizen for four
months.
President Elect Harding will sail
from New Orleans November 18th for
the canal zone on board Of United
States Fruit Company steamer, 1t was
learned today. Returning he will
be landed at Norfolk December 4th.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the ship which is to take the
party to New Orleans will remain ov-
er one day from her scheduled date
to accommodate Senator Harding and
his party. now placed at IS persons.
The stop at Norfolk also will be by
special arrangement.

N. D. ASSOCIATION
OF FARM BUREAUS
TO BE ORGANIZED
Meeting Will Be Held at Fargo
Wednesday, November 10
Judge J. A. Coffey Sc
lected to Represent Stuts-
man County.

There are numerous county farm
bureaus in North Dakota, and the
number is increasing as the value
and services of these bureaus be-
come better known. So far there
has been no state organization Of
the county farm, bureaus, and a
meeting will be held at Fargo, on
Wednesday the 10th inst to organize
a state farm bureau association,
which will later join the National
Farm Bureau Association. Judge J.
"A. Coffey was elected as delegate
from Stutsman county to attend the
Fargo meeting, and to assist in the
organization of q state farm bureau.
It is also expected that the state
association will be the means Of in
creasing the number of county bur-
eaus in North Dakota. At the last
election, the question was before 4
number of counties in the state, as
to the organization Of county bur-
eaus, and eight different counties
voted In favor of sucn bureaus.
Among the purposes of the state
organization of farm bureaus will
be the matter of helping to secure
better and more staple prices for
farm products, including wheat and
coarse grain, live stock and other
produce.
The work that may be done by
such associations is Of the utmost
Importance both to farmers, and to
every other resident Of the state
who earns q Twins: therein. Busi-
nessmen will surely awake to :, the
importance of a system Of co-opera-
tive salesmanship, and other means
Of stabilizing prices of farm pro-
ducts which are now being studied
by the national Farm Bureau Asso-
citation. Businessmen, bankers, pro-
fessional men and every other class
Of our states population are affect
ed directly by prices which farmers
obtain from the products Of the soil.
A representative Of the National
Farm Bureau will be present at the
meeting at Fargo to assist in the or
ganization Of the state association.
