GOVERNMENT PERMITS -.
USE OF LIGHTHOUSE


Many of the scenes which play a
most important part in the great Naz-
imova production, "Out of the Fpg, !"
which will appear at the Liberty
theatre on the 4 and Of March, Fri
day and Saturday, were made at a
well-known lighthouse on the coast
of Maine. Permission for this unus-
ual privilege was granted by the
Governments representative Of the
Nazimova Production Company ,hav-
ing gone on special trip to Wash
ington for this purpose.
"Out of the Fog" is a tremendous
drama Of the sea and gives Nazimova
two distinctive roles which provide
every opportunity for her varied and
intense powers: Some of the scenes
depict the light house as it stands
on the rock-bound New a. England
coast-a lonely object on this desc
late spot-lashed and buffeted by the
storm.tossed waves. Others are taken
in the light tower-showing the re-
volving light which is seen by ships
far out to sea, warning them of the
treacherous rocks and shoals upon
which the beacon stands. These
scenes are unusual in that it is sell
dom that the privilege for taking pic
lures on Government property Is
granted - ....se F.,

burn Tuesday night with friends and
while here Mr.. Peterson was telling
them Of his great discovery on his
land that adjoins the town site of the
city Of Ryder. Mr.. Peterson stated
tina while boring on his land the drill
ers passed through q vein of coal 20
feet thick at a depth of 100 feet and
at q depth of 800 feet the drill passed
through a vein 40 feet thick. II
It is true that Mr.. Peterson's land Is
underlaid with coal 40 feet in thick-
ness he has virtually discovered 9
gold mine. IA 40 foot vein is the big
gest ever discovered in the state to
any ones knowledge. The city OF
Ryder is now drilling at other points
on the land to determine il the vein Is
the same In other places. Mr.. Peter

BIG FIRE At UNDERWOOD
Underwood eXperienceI us D1ggeS

Underwood experienced it's biggest
five about 2 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing when three of its five elevators
burned to the ground. The three
structures stood close together on the
North side, of the track, just opposite
the depot. The Dodge elevator, which
stood nearest the main street, was the
first to catch on fire. The origin is
not known. The wind was blowing
a stiff gale that night and the other
two buildings stood directly in the
path of the flying sparks and nothing
could be done to save any OF three.
The middle elevator it .is understood,
belonged to F. O. .McGray of Garrison.
but the building had been closed for
the past two years. 1t being empty
made it an easy prey to the flames and
it was soon burned to the ground.
The last one to catch was the Farmers
Elevator and it too famed by the wind
was soon a roaring blaze. The Dodge
elevator was about half full OF grain,
it is understood and the Farmers was
reported to have been nearly full OF
wheat and flax. 1t is understood that
close to 60 thousand bushels were
burned.
It is thought by many that if the
wind had been blowing towards the
town that nothing could have saved
it from burning up. The lumber yard
is directly, across the track from the
elevator and then the buildings of the
main street being. -E -G..

rooms Of the First National Bank sew
eral of the base bail fans and players
Of the town met and organized a club

stood that the Washburn marriage
ment is making every effort to be one
of the six teams and to help the man
,agers of the other towns to perfect
the league. t s-.,- -.

Stafslien, who takes the place of Jim
O'Brien, the manager of last year,

captain of the team will manage the
club for the season. The manager has

Compulsory Education
TWO MEN FAIL TO SEND CHILD
Rem TO SCHOOL. ARREST.
ED AND FINED. ts

Two men of Mclean County have
recently been arrested and fined be-
cause they failed to send their child
rem to school. The state law provides
that all children of school age must
attend school unless certain condi-
tions. excuse them and these men were
violating the law in the case of their
children. One, John Marquadt, of
Underwood, had two boys Of the age
Of 10 and IL, who were not being sent
to school. He was fined $25.OO, which
included the cost. Jacob Aldinger, of
Turtle Lake, was the other Mclean
county citizen, who has daughter IA
years of age who was staying at home.
Mr.. Aldinger, also paid a fine and
costs. Both men, after confronting
States Attorney Tellefson and Supt.
McCurdy, now see the folly of al
lowing their children to. stay at home
and hereafter agreed to send them
everyday when possiable.
Many parents throughout the cOun-
ty seem to think that their children
can stay home from school when ever
they so desire. This, however, can
not be and obey the laws Of the state.
A summary of Attendance Laws is as
follows: All children of or between
the seventh and seventeenth birthdays
must attend school for the entire ses-
sion unless they have legal excuse:
The following are legal excuses.
That such child is taught for the
same length of time in parochial or
private school, approved by the county
superintendent. -.
That such child has completed the
eighth grade.
That such child is actually neces-
sary to the support of the family as
determined by the states attorney,
subject to appeal.
That such child is in such physical
or mental condition as to render such
attendance inexpedient or impracti-
cable.
That such child is attending public
school elsewhere.

BENEFIT SHOW WELL ATTENDED

BENEFIT SHOW WELL ATTENDED
The Benefit Show given at the Lib
erty Theatre Wednesday, March 2 was
big success as the theatre was filled
and net amount of over $50 was
turned in to the Hoover fund for the
starving children of central ahd east
e1n Europe. None can say they did
not get their moneys worth as an
reel show was shown. The feature
was q; Western picture full of action.
too full perhaps for some. but the
picture was not Of local choice but
sent out by the Minneapolis Film
Board Of Trade, who furnish them
free for this good cause. Theatres all
over the Northwest have shown these
pictures and when the sums are all
put together it amounts to a large sum
for the Hoover fund. The local
theatre, assisted by ohtre business
places of Washburn are not charging
for, their services in the showning
Of the picture and nearly all proceeds
are net. The only charge being the
express on the films. We are glad to
see Washburn turn out so well and
put its name on the list of helpers.

WaShburn Takes Both
Games From Wilton
GRADE BOYS AND HIGH BOTH
SHOW CLASS FRIDAY EVE

The local school won two games of
basket ball from the visiting Wilton
boys at the hall Friday evening of
last week. The Curtain raiser was
played between the boys of the grade
of both schools. The little fellows
put up a fast game and from begin
ming to end the big crowd did not
find lax moment in the playing.
Both sides played good ball, but the
Washburn boys did little better play
ing and when the game ended the
score stood 1S to II in favor Of Wash
burn. The youngsters feel repaid for
the Wilton team beat them on their
own floor few weeks before.
The big game, between the two high
school teams started with a rush and
from the beginning Washburn showed
better team work than the visitors.
Washburn Gagged the first basket and
from then on kept in the lead. Klein
at center got away for four baskets,
while Charlebois and Schweizer at
,foreward played,:their, oldssstyle. game.
.Westmiller and. Reizer at guard kept
the visitors at all times from getting
in the lead The game was close
one as the score shows, but when
the final whistle blew Washburn had
three points to the good. The score
stood 1S to Is in favor of Washburn.
There was some talk of having a
county tournament, but from the last
reports this will have to be called
off. Mercer claims the championship
of the county and it is understood, re-
fuses to play in a tournament. I'm
derwood states it is not qualified to
play.
