Douglas Anard
In The Movies

Douglas Allard's many River Falls
friends were delighted to learn last
week that he has been given an Tex
csllent opportunity as a moving pic
ture actor, with the Il. X. O." studio
a. Hollywood, California.
Douglas, who had been teaching on
the coast, got into touch with George
Williams, formerly of this city and a
well known cinema actor, who ar
ranged with the company to give
Doug. try-out. The result was
three-year contract for his services
with the company.
The length of the contract lndl-
Gates that Doug. must have made an
exceptionally good impression. There
are thousands of applicants at every
large studio every day and great
numbers Of these are given opportunira
ties as "supes' at a weekly or daily
wage, but it is only in the case OF
exceptional merit that a contract is
made for longer than the making OF
the picture underway. M
In another way, the three-year
term is protection to the company,
for they are giving Doug. his APP
premiership and should he in a few
months develop into star rival.
concern could "cop him Off and reap
the ealent which the L. X. 0. had
developed were it not for the terms
Of the contract.
And Doug's. apprenticeship is by
no means without remuneration.
Starting now for short period at
$50 per week, the contract provides
periodical increase which. will bring
the total for the three years up to
$50, 1000.
News of his contract came IN
letter to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Allard Of this city, which also
included description of an auto trip
along the coast. Riding on one OF the
Big 8-cylinder tourist car he got ac-
orainted with the driver, learning
that he also came from Wisconsin
chippewa Falls, they became well
acquainted, and the chauffer invited
Doug. to accompany him on long
trip into Old Mexico. Stopping at
Los Angeles that evening they ran
across Les. Anderson of this city at
restaurant, and had long visit
with him. Doug. said the trip into
Mexico was wonderful. Most Of it
was over the Old Mission Trail, which
is now paved the entire distance, and
the scenery enroute is unsurpassed
anywhere Doug. says.
Doug had his first try-out in
comedy entitled, "Uncle Toms Ca
boose,D and he afterwards saw it on
the screen.
Doug's. friends are confident OF
his progress in this work.. and all
are looking forward eagerly to re-
lease showing him Tin action

COMPANY "A NoTEs


Co. "A" is up to maximum strength
again. George Nelson and Deloss
Krauth, who were discharged last
spring when they went out west to
work, have returned and re-enlisted.
Three new men were enlisted also
this week. They are Ernest Bake,
Ralph Stauffacher and Micheal De-
mulling.
The uniforms and equipment for
which the boys have been impatiently
waiting for for some time past, ar
rived on the noon freight last Satur-
day. The Supply Sgt. and crew
Of willing helpers Immediately got
busy opening boxes and checking The
contents. There were AZ boxes in
all, containing everything from a
typewriter to pick and shovel.
Nearly all the equipment was ready
for issuance. on Monday night.
Among the articles issued to each
man were, two complete uniforms, 2
flannel shirts, a raincoat, 2 wooden
blankets, a mess kit, rifle, and a
half of a shelter tent.
Co. GA has not received its official
travelling orders as. yet, but Lieut.
Dawson has received unofficial word
that the. company will leave early
Monday morning on special train
for Camp Douglas. All citizens of
River Falls less than 80 years old
are urged to turn out Monday morn
ing to see the boys off. The morning
air will do you good and the boys will
appreciate your being at the depot.
The boys are scheduled to be gone
for two weeks and will probably put
in return appearance on the after
noon of August End. Sgt. Kenneth
White has promised to keep this pa
per informed of the "doings" at camp,
and we will be able to give more
reliable information on that point
next week. M
Word has been received from
Douglas Allard and Grin Goodmunson
that they will not return to River
Falls this summer, and they will be
given discharges from the company
as soon as it returns from Camp.
There is not sufficient time left in
which to secure uniforms, etc. for
others who take their places in the
company before going to camp so
their names will be retained on the
rolls until the company returns from
camp.
The discharge of Allard and Good
munson will leave two vacancies
which will give two more fellows an
opportunity to go target shooting on
government ammunition, and to learn
to drive a large truck. The company
will bring five trucks back with it
from camp, and a rifle range will be
laid out during the month of August.
Mr.. Oliver Knight has an ideal To-
cation for a range on his farm west
Of the city which he has offered to
let the boys use.k Mr.. Knights farm
is about five miles from town, but
with trucks.to ride back and forth in,
this will be no draw back to having a
range that far away. OF course, if
it were an infantry company, and the
boys had to walk back and forth
from the range, this distance would
be too far.
Watch this column next week for
an account Of Co. "A's" trip to
Camp Douglas, land some of the hap
penings which took place while they
were enroute.

J. w. BROWN
TAX ASSESSOR

j. W. Brown, Jasper. announ-
ces in this issue his candidacy for
tax assessor. He comes out at
urgent solicitation of a large
number of voters. both republi-
can and democratic. who are well
satisfied with his careful and
accommodating assessing of tax
es. as he is assessor for Marion
this year by appointment of the
county Judge. He is a man who
has keen idea of values, owning
property himself and being act
i've in farming and trading him
self whereby he has learned to
estimate values. He is a self
made man, earning the property
he possesses by hard work.
In politics he is a Republi-
can, coming of a strongRepublic-
an family, but he will receive the
support of a great many demo.
Gratis who are his friends and who
will rally to his support. There
is no nominee of the Republican
party for the office, either by
convention or primary, and in
fact there was no provision for
the candidacy of anyone for this
important office, and so far no
candidate has been mentioned for
the office by the Democratic par.
ty. Voters who wish a careful,
conservative. pains taking official
for tax assessor, which office is
rapidly becoming one of the most
important offices in the county, all
speak highly of the work of Mr..
Brown and will vote for him in
August.
The News is pleased TO an
nounce Mr.Brown's candidacy, as
we feel that in assuming the duty
of assessing the taxes of Marion
at a time when it seemed no one
would have the job, he did so at
a sacrifice to his own interests.
Such men are always good offici-
ais.
