BASIL KINGS FILM
 APHoToGRAPHIc MARVEL

The lure of a woman'S charms SC irresistible that marriage VOWS anC family ties are swept away before it passion, tragedy and vengeance ss SC intense that even death cannot settle the score have made "Earthbound' a drama so powerful, so mystifying, SC breathtaking in it's intensity as to ovel shadow all motion picture achieve ments of the past.
 | side from the fact that Basil Kings great story is presented with an all star cast and that whole year ot work was spent upon it to make II technically perfect, this picture mas . plot different to any that has ever be- fore been attempted. For that reason Earthbound aroused widespread dis cussion not only among critics but the theatre going public The fact that the story carries the passion swept desti- nies of faithless man and seductive woman even into the life beyond, gave rise to much speculation as to the plausibility of such theory and the object of MT. King in writing it.
 But whether they found a solution or not, all confessed that they wers held spellbound by the intensely era matic manner in which the subject was presented. As to the object, MT. King admits frankly that in writing "Earthbound," he was concerned mere ly in writing the best story he knew how to write, without wishing to preach.

AS They Said 1t

James Slater:-"The promptness
in which the fire department respond
ed to the call when Mr.. Myrick's
house was on fire is certainly to be
commended. I believe it was not
more than five minutes from the
first clang of the fire bell before the
engine was running and the hose
stretched up the street. l don't
dance but I have $1.50 for ticket
to the ball they are giving. There
should not be a citizen of the town
but would be willing to give that
much to the firemen's cause. They
may need their services some day."
E. r. Langton:-"There are two
laws that need attention at the COM
ing session of the legislature. One
is the hail insurance law. It should
be made compulsory for all to insure
the seeded land. Insurance should
call for $40 per acre and the premi-
UNI should be not to exceed twenty
five cents per acre. The wide sleigh
law should be made either compul-
sorry or repealed"
A. B. Purdy:-"The community
Christmas tree was grand success
in every way. The committees hav-
ing the arrangements in charge are
entitled to credit for the well ar
ranged program. We will have an
other one next year, for I believe all
the people were satisfied"
A. Bourgeois:-"I have cleaned up
over 100 acres of scrub land since /
bought the William Martineau and
Hogan places. It was willows and
other scrub that produced nothing to
speak of, but served to catch the
snow and kept part Of the other land
wet in the spring. All is now in
ship-shape for good crop next year.
We had an old sulky plow that was
relegated years ago that we con-
verted into a stump and root puller
that is worth more for that than we
paid for it when new. We use it to
go over the broken scrub land and
with one team we would tear up the
roots that were plowed under by the
breaking plow. It can be raised and
lowered at will. Before we thought
of its use to pull out roots I would
have given it to any one for taking it
away"
Napoleon Jerpme:-"I am back to
the old place at the mouth of Two
Rivers, opposite Toilette. It is fifty
years since we first went on that
farm and it is really home to us
ALL In those days deer and elk
were plentiful, and other game in
abundance. There are more chick

ADVERTISING IN PIONEER
EXPRESS BRINGS RESULTS

Thomas Wexford, who lost his
Shetland pony several weeks ago,
located II at .Letellier, Manitoba
through his advertisement in the Pio-
neer Express. Who said it does not
pay to advertise? A few years ago
two horses and a mule strayed away
from the Prattford neighborhood and
q span Of ponies from Bowesmont.
Both were advertised the same week
in the Pioneer Express. The ponies
turned up at Halpfstad, Manitoba
and the horses and the mule near
Edinburgh, Walsh county, and both
were found through the advertise
nnents in this paper. :

Woman Gets
Big Verdict

The case Of Mrs. Elmer E. Goar
against the village Of Stephen. and
the Minnesota Electric Distributing
Co, occupied the attention Of the
Marshall county district court for
practically. the entire week.
Mrs. Gor's suit, which was for
$25, 600 damages for injuries alleged
to have been received last August,
came up for trial last Saturday, when
the taking Of testimony began, and
was not completed until late Wednes-
day evsning. Had it not been for
the fact that the court held evening
sessions, the case would in all pro-
liability have been drawn out for the
balance Of the present week.
Mrs. Goar's testimony as inter-
posed at the trial showed that on
August 10th last she had connected
her electric iron in the usual man.
ner with the socket in the ceiling and
placed it on the stove to heat, there
being no fire in the stove at the time;
that while it was heating she reach
ed to secure dust pan which hung
on the wall between this stove and
an oil stove which had, it seems, be-
come charged with electricity which
so severely burned the hand that
anputation was later found neces-
sary.
The evidence introduced as to how
this charging Of the stove occurred
showed that the service wire leading
to the Goar residence came in con-
tact with what is known as the Jump
er line leading from the 2300-volt
primary line TO the transformer, and
that this excessive voltage was car
ried over the service line into the
Goar residence at the time the elec-
trio iron was in use, and the over
charge escaping from the iron charg-
ed the kitchen range and oil stove
with the high voltage mentioned.
In addition to the loss of the great
er part of her hand, Mrs. Goar also
received other bruises, and her ac-
tion against the village and the cleo
trio company was to recover dam
ages not only for these injuries but
for the pains and suffering and
claimed permanent affect on her
health.
The plaintiffs case was taken care
Of by H. o. Chommie Of Thief River
Falls and Olson and Hage Of War
rem, and the village was represented
by w. E. Rowe of Crookston and B.
B. B4ett of Stephen; the electric
company's defense was handled by
Messrs Lanaster, Simpson and Jinell
and Mr.. Richards of Minneapolis. :,

COMMUNITY ENTERTAINMENT

The Community Christmas tree
and entertainment held in the City
hall was a splendid success in every
way. The committee on arrange
ments and program have every rea-
son to congratulate themselves on
the efforts put forth to make the
community spirit prevail. The hall
was well filled with an appreciative
audience who listened to the splen-
did program given by different in
dividuals, groups from the several
Sunday schools and the school child
rem, all showing careful training and
considerable talent. Although the
weather was very windy and dis
agreeable, many faced the elements
and came in from their farm homes
to help swell the crowd. At no time
of the year is the spirit Of good fell
lowship and cooperation felt more
than at the Christmastide and the
getting together" Of all members
of the community in preparing for
an entertainment of this kind is a
step in the right direction toward
bringing about that community spirit
of which we are all in need. The
beautiful tree which was shipped in
from Pequot, MINI. reached to the
ceiling Of the hall and was beauti-
fully decorated with tinsel, icicles,
snow and all that glitters. Varied
colored electric lights were artisti-
cally arranged through out the bran
ches, together with enough candy to
suppy all children present.
No other gifts were given by the
Community Committee although
some were brought by individuals.
A collection was taken to pay for
the candy and tree, there was small
shortage which was covered by the
Community Club.
Let the Community spirit stay with
US during the whole year and by all
means have another gathering at
Christmas time 1923.
