Manager Piller, of the Grand thea
tire, held a pre-view showing of ''Na-
nook Of the North" yesterday after
noon, inviting several prominent per-
sons in the city to attend the perfor-
nance. Those persons are unanimous
in their praise of the picture, stating
that it is one of the best films shown
here for some time. "Nanook of the
North" deals with life in the far
north and gives one an accurate idea
of the life of the Eskimo. The picture
was taken in the far north, about
eight hundred miles north Of civiliza-
ton on the east coast Of Hudson Bay.
The first showing of the picture was
in a shed belonging to fur trading
post and the spectators consisted of
the Eskimos of the district who had
never before seen a moving picture.
The story is an interesting one and
will give you the best evenings en-
trtainment you have had for some
time. "Nanook Of the NORTH will be
shown tonight and tomorrow at the

The High School football team, ac-
companied by a large number of root
ers, left by auto today for Casselton
where they are scheduled to meet the
Casselton High school team this af-
ternoon. The dope does not credit
Casselton with a very strong team
this year and it is probable that the
locals will be able to annex the game
by comfortable margin. Fargo de-
feated Casselton by a ia to 0 score
last Saturday on the Fargo field.
While Coach Goetzloe states that he
does not expect any such score today
he expects the locals to lead through
out the game and come home with an
other victory on their list. Several
of the local boys have been very ir-
regular in attending practice and it
is probable that they will have to
mend their ways or be dropped from
the squad even though they are
among the best players on the team.
Coach Goetzloe has not announced his
lineup for today but stated this
morning that the probabilities were
that some of the newer men would
be given a chance in the early part
of the game today while few of the
shirkers would be allowed to warm
the bench.
