IS EXCEPTIONAL film

Amy Bemidji resident who fails to
see "The -Four Horsemen Of the Apo
calypso" y shown at the Elko theatre
last night and appearing again to-
night and Sunday, will be missing
what is, without doubt, one of the
most elaborate screen productions of
the year.
It is seldom that a 12-reel film can
hold the attention of an audience
these days when the movie fan de-
mands continued action, but the di-
rector, Rex Ingram, has not allowed
dull moment in the two and half
hours of showing. His success was
due not only to the spectacular fea-
lures that mark the film as master
piece, but more especially to the I'M
usual casting. >..-| .1. W. ..

any time of the year. The best time
to do this work is during the late
fall and early spring and sometimes
il can be continued almost all winter.
This, of course, depends on seasonal
conditions such as the amount o'
snowfall. Brush can be cut after the
ground has been frozen and when
it is impossible to do anything elesc
along the land clearing line. When
it is cold the brush will cut easier,
there are no leaves which makes It
more convenient to handle and one
has a good footing in places which
might be soft during the open sea-
son. We have then, so to speak, year
round land clearing program.
The state forestry department
is interested in pushing the brush
line back from the standpoint of fire
prevention and is cooperating with
the university and county organiza-
tons in this campaign. The labor
investment for removing brush from
around the buildings is the one and
only premium which is paid on fire
insurance policy, which will be in
effect ever after"
Professor Schwante,, asserts IS
possible to get much more done for a
dollar this year if one hires labor
to do the clearing than has been pos
sible in the last three or four years.
Labor can be secured more reason
able during the proposed brushing
season than during the open season
on the farm, he says. The farmer HIM
self has more time on his hands dur.
ing the late fall and early spring
which probably is not worth quite so
much as time during the open season.
Utilization of tvs time for work Of
this kind during the closed season will
result in better distribution and a
more continuous employment Of la
Dor on the farm throughout the year.
"Wild land has no loaning value"
he says. lit costs, on the average,
about $3.50 year to pay the inter-
est on an acre of wild land, and like
ly enough more in taxes to make the
total yearly expense about SO an
acre. 1t then cost\ the farmer So an
acre each year for the privilege of
holding an acre of wild land and he
is receiving absolutely nothing. from
it. Now if it is possible through the
investment of a little labor during
the slack seasons of the year to put
this particular acre into such, shape
that it will bring an income which
will pay the interest, taxes, and a
little more each year, it seems that
this is labor we'll invested. r.:
+ ut is necessary that the men doing
development work have definite
system and follow it. The cost of
clearing and developing must be kept
down to the minimum SO that the Ill
innate cost of the farm which is made
out of piece of cut-over land may
be justified, and in order to keer
