kind Of work this summer will be
heavy. :.
The bridge at the south end of

is necessary, especially on the south
end Of the bridge. l,s. .s...eg

prospect. The council ordered that
bids be asked for for the lowering
of the avenue, which runs along the
south side Of the Fair hill.
The proposition of enforcing the

the victim was almost well, which is
strictly against the health laws, as

Experienced Directors

Four Of our nine directors were born on
Barnes County farms and each of these four
still owns and operates the farm on which he
was born, together with other lands.
The other FIVE came from the neigh
boring state Of Minnesota, and three Of
them were born in that state. One Of them
has lived here forty-one years, one for forty
years, one for twenty six years, one for six
teen years, and one for ten years.
All Of the nine are, therefore, fully identi-
fed with the Northwest and with Valley City
and vicinity, and they are all experienced and
successful business men. They know the needs
Of this community and feel a natural pride in
this Bank and the part it has played in the up
building of this community.
The facts set forth above make one Of many
reasons why this is

Here's Good job
In Movies For
Some Historian

With the launching of production
on Mary Pickford's new $l,000,000
picture, Little Lord Fauntleroy."
there has developed an absolutely
new vocation in the motion picture
industry. 1t is that of period ex-
pert" held at the Pickford company
by John H. Howell, formerly in the
household service of members of the
British nobility.
Because of his familiarity with
English customs and dress, Howell
is of great value in an advisory ca
pacity on the stage. His particular
duty is to see that the costumes and
furnishings are in the period de-
scribed by Frances Hodgson Burnett
in her famous story and that the
players not only look but also act
as members Of the households In the
ancestral castles Of England do.
Howell has been in the service OF
the earl of Dudley. The marquis OF
Zetland, the earl Of Minto, the mar
quis of Linlithgow, the duke OF
Grafton and Fl. R. Fl. the duke of
Connaught. He will act as "period
expert" during the time that Little
Lord Fauntleroy" is in production.

Film Folk Buy
Farm for Poor
Kiddies Near L. A.

Headed by Irene Rich, Goldwyn
actress. a little clique of flm per-
sons, including Will Rogers, star;
Charles Kenyon, playwright; Rupert
Hughes, famous novelist; Clarence
Badger, director, and Others, are ne
gotiating for the purchase OF large
tract of farm land near Burbank,
Cal, upon which it is proposed to
rear orphan children Of Los An
geles. According to present plans,
400 kiddies will be cared for, and it
is hoped to enlarge the establish
ment as soon as its success is as
sured. ..
Orphans Need Work.
The plan was conceived and partly
worked out by Miss Rich before she
interested her friends of the Gold
wyn colony. She believes that the
farm is the best place for children
up to the age of IA or IS, and in a
small way she has already carried
the proposed experiment success
fully, having four young proteges on
farms near Los Angeles. 1t is her
belief that orphans. above all, need
wholesome work in the open air and
a chance to grow up into some
branch of productive business.
The farm will be managed by
capable and kindly men and women
who will act as instructors, and the
film folk themselves will watch pro-
ceedings keeniy to make sure that
none Of the evils of many such insti-
tutions obtain in their establishment.
The children will be taught all
branches of agriculture, theoretical
and practical. Special provisions for
their amusement, such as a swim
ming pool, gymnasium, base ball
ground and tennis courts will be
made on the farm.

Screen Success Fails
To Spoil Jackie Coogan

It's quite hard for a 6-year-old
child who has had the entire world
at his feet through his portrayal of
characterizations on the silver sheet,
and who has been pestered to death
with offers for more picture work
who has been interviewed by news
paper folk wherever he goes--who
has posed for his picture some thous-
ands of times-yes, it's quite hard for
him to wade into this sea OF popular
ity and emerge unspoiled.
But in the case of Jackie Coogan,
juvenile 6-year-old star of "Peck's
Bad Boy" this is true. Jackie can
well be termed the most popular Of
any photographed child in the world
today. And with it all he has never
lost his equilibrium. It's bard to
imagine that a mere slip of a child
could stir the world with his camera
work such as young Coogan has
done. But stir the world he has.
No star of stage or screen has won
such instant recognition.
Wherever he goes, he is recog-
nized. When he walks up the street
he is soon submerged in the midst
of huge throng of interested pedes-
trians. If his automobile pulls UP
along the curb, it is instantly sur
rounded by dozens of curious pic
ture fans--all eager to catch a
glimpse Of this wonder boy of the
silver sheet.
The world knows of his conquest
of New York City--how that blase
metropolis took off its mask and paid
homage of the highest order to this
6-year-old celebrity-how camera
men fought to place their tripods
within focusing distance, of the little
fellow-how reporters flQeked to his
hotel in quest of the latest stories
how newspapers assigned their
"star" reporters to follow the Goo
gan party" wherever it went.
Among the interesting things
Jackie did in one week while in New
York were: Aided the milk fund to

Poets Come to Aid

The success which has been
achieved with ''Over the Hill,' in

Gus young quill drivers so long have

less potent than the heart interest
which dreamy versifiers evolve-ac-
cording to legend, at least-in chilly

While the producers are rapidly
turning to their Libraries looking for
something which will equal that ven
ture into the poetry lyric field, VIII
liam Fox continues on his way,
confirmed student of standard and
modern verse. Meantime book
shelves are being denuded of their
long neglected Whittiers, their Low
ellis and Longfellows. To be sure,
Mr.. Fox set this poetical pace somei
time ago, when he utilized Longfel-i
lows famous "Evangeline" as a SUBJ
ject for a picture, but his competitors
didn't take the hint then. They arc
taking it fast enough now, since his
"Over the Hip is making such
sensational success.

No telling where the success Of
Over the Hill will end. Perhaps
Vachel Lindsay, with his spectacu-

Literary War

There is literary war on in Los

1t is between scenario writers, who
write original Stories and authors of
fiction stories who are said to be
making an effort to invade the movie
field.
Camera Magazine and the Photo
playwright League are championing
the cause of the scenario writers.
Continuity writers, who are said to
be very necessary in the process of
adapting the plots of the novelist
TO the screen are reported to be lin
ing up with the writers of original
screen stories who re represented
by the league and Camera Magazine.
Prominent producers and their
scenario editors have been requested
to place themselves on record, and
have agreed TO do so in a special
edition of the Camera Magazine,
which will be published some time in
July. An appeal to newspaper men,
and Others who might be in a posi-
ton to submit material which will
help to demonstrate the superiority
of original stories over published fic-
ton, will be made. Rather than be
defeated in their fight, the Photo
