FIGHT FILM IN
BARABOO MAKES
SLIGHT TROUBLE
Movie Man Is Arrested Charged
With Transportation From State
to State

The exhibiting of the Dempsey.
Carpenter fight pictures this city at
the Gem theater in this city on Sun
day, resulted in the arrest of Frank
Cooke, Milwaukee, former theatsr
owner at Green Bay, by Will Touton.
deputy U. S. marshal. .a al
The violation, according to fed
eral officials, was not in showing OF
the pictures but in the transporting OF
them by interstate commerce from
Chicago, H., to this city which is a
violation of ther federal laws.
T The penalty for violation of the
law is Imprisonment of one year
in the house of correction or $1,000
fine or both, according to Arthur
Mulberger, assistant u. S. district
attorney. 1t has been the custom
of courts to impose reasonable
fine for the transportation of the
films. The distributors of the films
pay this fine in order to get the
pictures into the state. When once
they are in the state they may be
shown without violation of the law.
The proprietor of the films OF
Milwaukee, whose name was not
learned, was on his way to Madi-
son to be placed under formal arrest,
If the government desired to do so.
He claimed that Mr. Cooke was not
the man to be arrested for the offense.
Baraboo happened to be the first
city in Wisconsin to show the films
after they left Illinois so the arrest
was made on the charge of showing
them here.

A PRAYER Oh, THANKSGIVING
BY DIR. Frank Crane
Almightv Creator. We Thy GREAT

Almighty Creator. we Thy creatures
thank Thee for Life.
First of all benedictions, foremost
of all creeds, and sum of all riches, it
is to live.
To be a spot OF consciousness in a
vibrant universe, is this not to be a
very son of God?
To have so amazing aven, es of ap-
probation, to see the sun, to hear the
moving wind, to smell the dawn, to
feel the fire and the snow, to taste the
fruit of trees, to do, to know and to
love, surely a creature with such royal
glory and honor.
we thank Thee for our Day, this
twentieth century wherein the world
is waking.
We thank Thee for the maturing
mind of mankind which is struggling
to cast off the past childishness of
violence, of contention, Of narrowness
and hate
We thank lec that clear-eyed Sci
ence advances while ancient frauds,
unclean superstitions and the cruel
obsessions of ignorance are passing
away
That the nations are earnestly striv-
ing to come together. and that slowly
out of our patriotiSms there is emerg-
ing the great cause of Humanity, VIC
thank Thee.
That woman is being set free. and
that her right to her own SOUL: her
own DOQE heT OWL ClliZGHSIllp IL
being acknowledged, we thank Thee.
That the sure law of growth in this
Thy garden of the world becomes
more and more apparent that evil
falls as discarded scales and the good,
the true and the beautiful persist ever
to fruitage; that after. every winter of
death comes the spring of resurrec-
ton, and that the miracle of life Is
eternally recurfent, we thank Thee.
That achievement is being valued
above privilege and business above
idleness, that liberty is more and more
Hconceived in point of law, that justice
is turning to helpfulness rather than
vengeance, and that sanity outlives de-
fusion, we thank Thee.
And most of all we thank Thee that
we are learning to give the little chill
dren their just due of care and train
ing-that little by little We are en-
deavoring to make the world such
