PORT OF MISSING MEN
CONTINUES TO GROW

The U. S. Veterans Bureau has
enlisted the aid of the Red Cross,
American Legion and other cooper
ating agencies in search for two
ex-service men who have disappear
ed. The men are both mentally de-
ranged by reason of injuries during
the World War.
Henry Dexheimer who sloped
from mental hospital at Mendoza,
Wisconsin, is described as five feet,
eight inches tall, weight $50 pounds,
and ruddy. Additional identifying
information is tattooed left arm.
James F. Burns, Service Officer of
the American Legion at Milwaukee,
Wis. reports that this veteran may
be found in the Dakotas or Montana.
Henry Critchfield disappeared
from his home at Hunter, North
Dakota. 1t is thought that he went
to Minneapolis to take instructions
in voice training. However, care
full search of the rolls of all music
schools in that city has been of no
avail.
He is 29 years of age, 5 feet 2
inches tall, has blue eyes, sandy
hair and weighs about 145 pounds.
He is considered a good singer and
is rated a clever piano player.
Relatives and guardians of these
veterans are much concerned over
their disappearance. Because of
their serious mental disability, fear
is expressed as to their welfare.

TOWER CROSSING
AUTO ACCIDENT.
RORA SCHOOL SUPERIN.
TENDENT AND WISCONSIN
ROAD COMMISSIONER HIT.

Monday while Superintendent and
Mrs. c. w. Tomlinson of the Aurora
schools and family and Mr.. and Mrs.
H. B. Blake of Madison, Wisconsin,
were driving to this city in the Tom
hnson car over Route 30, shey
were struck by the Duluth & Iron
Range passenger train at the cross
ing coming into Tower.
The car, a sedan, driven by Mr..
Tomlinson was wrecked and Mr..
Blake and the TomIinson boy were
severely injured. Mrs. Tomlinson
received a dislocated hip and her
small daughter was bruised. Mrs.
Blake was bruised and cut. The
driver stated he did not see the
train until too late to stop and the
engine caught the back of the
sedan as it attempted to speed
across the track.
The train crew state that the
bell on the engine was ringing and
the whistle was blown for the cross
ing but it is supposed Mr.. Tomlin-
son who was driving the closed car
did not hear the signals. After
the crash the train crew picked up
the members of the party and took
them to the hospital at Soudan
where their injuries were attended
to, Drs. Ayres and Parker of this
city being called to assist.
Mr.. TomGnson was showing his
guests over the ranges and was COM
ing to this city for a visit to the
schools and to acquaint the Wis
consin Highway Commissioner with
the tribulations of road construction
in this part of the country and the
methods used in surmounting the
difficulties.
The accident was an unfortunate
one inasmuch as the crossing where
the crash occurred is not considered
extra hazardous. Mr.. Tomlinson is
also a careful driver. The injured
have the sympathy of a host of
friends in this city. Late advices
are to the effect that all are doing
fine.

|R|SLEY MEETING
--SMALLl.C
ADDRESS WAS A FINE POLIT-
ICAL ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
OF REPUBLICANISM.

Only a small crowd were at the
Auditorium Tuesday evening to
listen to Theodore ]. Risley OF the
Labor Department at Washington,
d. C. While the crowd was small,
all those who heard the 40-minute
address, are satisfied that it was
one of the best espousing of the
cause of Republicanism ever made
here. Congressman Brand of Illinois
who was to be On the program with
M Risley failed to appear.
Walter E. Englund introduced the
speaker in few well chosen re-
marks. Mr. Risley at once launched
into his subject and for about forty
minutes produced fact after fact
showing the Republicans fully COM
petent and capable to conduct the
affairs of the nation. His expert
ence in the department he repre-
sents gave him an insight into affairs
that proved him competent to dis
cuss the several phases of this cam
paign. His handling of the immi-
grafton question was masterful and
complete as was also his financial
analysis of affairs since the war.
The smallness of the crowd was
to be regretted, but it seems that
people are not listening to addresses
anywhere unless it is a talk by the
head of the ticket. Mr.. Risley
speaks somewhat like General
Dawes, straight TO the point and
without the customary wordy en-
bellishments. He left for the range
towns the following morning.

SPoRTSMEN's WEEK
OCTOBER 13 TO 1s.

Now that the hunting season is
on, there's a lot of fun in getting
ready for your next trip. That's
why your dealer and Remington are
cooperating to give you Remington

teenth to eighteenth-a chance for
you to see what's what for hunting,
camping and trapping. And the
show is not held in New York or
off in Chicago, but right in your
store, here in your city.
So drop in, chat with your dealer.
He likes to talk hunting too.
Take time to look things over
not just the Remington exhibit, but
the hunting coats, cooking and
camping outfits, auto kits, and so on.
Why, there's a thrill in just seeing
and handling all the outdoor equip
ment!
Sportsmen, hunters and trappers
the wide nation over will be looking
for hunting and trapping goods win
dow displays all during the sports
mems week. It's the ideal time to
complete your fall and winter
hunting and trapping equipment.
There's a wide variety of note
worthy things in the way of sporting
goods on display in town. Far too
many to mention here. But several
of your reporters friends have
called his particular attention to the
shells that are scientifically loaded
to a uniform standard of pattern,
penetration and velocity with mod
crate recoil-Remington Gam e
Loads.

future.

future.
Does and fawns will be protected
in Itasca county this kall, regard
less OF the fact that the last Legs
IaUure failed TO enact lone buck
law, because the sportsmen of Itasca
county believe that an open season
or deer of either sex and all ages
threatens determination of the spe-
cies, and initiated a movement to
provide additional protection.
Thus, it will be seen that in every
instance in which more protection
has been extended to certain species
of wild life by executive order this
Fall, the movement has been
launched by the rank and file of
the sportsmen themselves, manifest
ing a sincere concern in the cause
of wild life conservation and a de-
termination to preserve sports afeld
regardless of temporary disappoint-
ment or sacrifice.
The sportsmen of Wright Mcleod
and Martin counties, of course,
would prefer to hunt quail this Fall
if it were possible to enjoy that
sport as usual without reducing the
species to point that threatens de-
pletion. The sportsmen of the en-
tire state would like to hunt part
ridge from October Is to November
20, as provided by law, if they be-
ieved it was to their future inter
est and the interest of future gen.
erations to do so. The sportsmen
of Minnesota, naturally, are eager
to try out the ringneck pheasants,
which have been propogated here
for number of years without an
open season, but they are willing
to defer that sport if it will enable
the birds to establish themselves
more firmly in Minnesota.
As to the deer problem, the
sportsmen are not generally agreed
as to the proper solution. The Leg
islature enacted the alternate season
law in lieu of the lone buck" law
favored by many, and the law en-
acted by the Legislature has not
been tried out through an open
season. There are many who be-
lieve that the need for zone buck
law eventually will be apparent to
majority, and when that time
comes, they do not want such Leg
islative action jeopardized by hasty
or arbitrary action which might
prove disappointing at this time,
Sentiment in Itasca county is vir-
tually unanimous in favor of the
protection of does and fawns, so
that county will have an opportunity
this Fall to try out the zone buck
plan. In all other counties the law
will prevail, and it will be interest
ing to observe a comparison of re-
suits.
TIL e partridge season opened
October Is, and will remain open
until October 81. both dates in
elusive. There will be no ringaeck
pheasant shooting, except as the
Governors order may be modified
in localities where it may be deemed
advisable. There will be no quail
shooting in Wright, Mcleod or Mar
tin counties. These things are de-
creed by an order signed by the
Governor on recommendation by
the Game and Fish Commissioner,
but in every case the movement for
additional protection has been
launched by the sportsmen them
selves.

HUNTING SENTIMENT is
RAPIDLY CHANGING

Sportsmanship sentiment is chang
ing rapidly in Minnesota and the
unmistakable trend toward wild
life preservation holds promise of
marked progress in the cause of
game and fish conservation. That
much is reflected by the action
taken by Governor Preus in extend
ing additional protection to certain
species of game this Fall, for the
Governors action by no means has
been arbitrary or peremptory, but
has been an expression of the wishes
of sportsmen themselves.
Ringneck pheasants will be pro-
tected by executive order this Fall
all sections of the state were first
to recognize the advantage of en-
couraging their propagation for at
least another year before taking
advantage of an open season.
The season for taking ruffed
grouse or partridge will be restrict
ed to seventeen days instead of
thirty-seven days this Fall because
the sportsmen of Minnesota observed
with concern that the Matching sea-
son last spring was unfavorable,
that the number of birds had dimin-
ished, and that additional protection
would be necessary to insure the
preservation of sufficient seed stock.
The shooting of quail in Wright,
Mcleod and Martin counties is pro-
hibited this Fall, in spite of the law
providing an open season, because
the sportsmen of these three
counties realized that the few covies
which remain must be protected if
quail are to survive there in the

upon the blood-sweating craft Of
Christendom of that day.
How thus must stir the postum
NOUS wrath of Martel, iron
scourge of the infidel, and all his
later disciples of faith by force or

This composite alien, only a lit

the shifting conventions and folk
convictions for which the motion
picture is an excellent mirror.
If he could be disengaged from
the photo-dramatic Illusion he
helps create he might yet be in

and thus subtly influential, he is
whiting down the most ancient
feuds toward a core of benevoience
and tolerance, toward idealistic
peace on earth and good will.
That is to say, his dramaturgic

light, for the heather" is ac-

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 10.-Some-
thing very daring has recently
been promulgated in motion
pictures with frequency in
dicating a definite trend. Some
thing made all the more significant
in that it has reused no public
clamor. no controversy, no critical
comment.
It is the presentation Of the
heather" as a hero.
The heather" the 1roham-
medan, the pagan. in direct con-
trast TO the Christian, is portrayed
as tolerable. human, respectable,
admirable.
Now this was once the great
heresy. The outlander of a differ
ent faith not so long ago existed
merely as a brand to be saved
from the burning, a derelict to be
won to the crucial fold by ten
thousand missionaries.
Today ne comes smiling into a
thousand theaters as an engaging
figure of photodrama; a lover of
Christian ladies. an absorbing erotic
mystery; glamorous son Of the Sa-
hara and the South Seas; a man to
be judged by his personal virtues
and conduct rather than his re-
liSious persuasion.
Observe his suaye intrusion and
popular tolerance as the Drago-
man" in Rex Ingram's filming of
The Arab" A fascinating creature
he is, whimsical, humorous, like
able in Ramon Novarro's character

comparison with those who in the
picture would convert him from

I was unconscious for quite a

sensing much I must have gone TO
sleep. for when I awakened I found
myself undressed in my own bed.

ing in. and mother bending over me.
What has happened?" I said
Then remembered. where are
Jack and the baby?"
Jack is here, Leslie" said my
husbands voice. and ! turned slight
" to see him sitting in a chair on
the other side Of the bed his face
all plastered and bandaged up.
81 came near killing you, didn't T.,
dear I felt my voice tremble as
said the words.
Don't worry about me, darling"
said Jack, and there was much feel
ing in his tones. you are much
worse off than I. The doctor says
your heart Is considerably weakened.
He seems TO think you have had e.
great deal Of worry and trouble
lately"
For a moment Jack was silent.
and I heard the footsteps Of my
mother, who is the most understand,
ing of women, leaving the room.
Subconsciousy Jack must have
realized that we were alone, for he
bent over and took me In his arms.
Leslie, my darling, 7 am sorry.
I've been a brute. I'm always doing
the wrong thing. It's my cursed
selfshness, I think. You are right,
dear. You're always right, and I
was a beast to make any intImation
that you could be otherwise than
loyal to me even in thought"
mo" I whispered, II could not
possibly he otherwise than loyal now.
for-for-I pulled his head down to
mine and whispered something in
his ear"
MY wife. my darling wife! 1t
isn't true-it can't be true"'
yes, it is true, Jack. Are you
glad?"
A sudden shadow passed over his
face. but he quickly brought a smile
to his lips.
I'm only afraid for you, dear" "
he said Then. as though it was
brought from him against his will,
he whispered:
ct hope it will be a girl"
As Jack said this, Ruth, all the
suppressed fears that had been as
sailing me since I had known baby
was coming to me, welled up in front
Of me. Suppose I had a son. Would
it make any difference in my feel
ings for little Jack, whose childish
heart I had found was all bound up
in his feelings for his pity muv-
YER"
Could I bear to know that my
sons name must be something else
than the historic one this other child
bore? The name Of John Alden
Prescott had already been given tC
another woman's child. Would ii
hurt me if my own flesh and blood
could never have it?
Family in the distance I heard a
cry from little Jack. Uncertain steps
came nearer my door.
81 want my muvver! I want my
muvver" said a tremulous, grieving
childish voice.
"He shall have his muvver." said
Jack. open the door and let my
