NO DOUBLE FOR GLENN HUNTER
IN BIG SCENE OF ''MERTON"

THE play must go on"
The oldest, unbreakable maximum
of the theatre has been instilled into
Glenn Hunter, youthful star of "Mer-
ton of the Movies" but 1t caused him
considerable anguish.
James Cruze, the noted Paramount
director who is making the film YER
sion of the novel and play, had his
com pany high in the hills back of
Hollywood making a sequence of the
story in which Hunter enacts the
Observation-Disclosures roles of which
he dreams. 1t was what is known as
a vision" scene, but it had to be
done in reality.
One scene was to show Merton
economically CARRIED in cowboy chaps
boots, hat and a heavy cartridge belt,
slide down a rope from a forty-foot
cliff to rescue the imperiled hero
inc
DO you want a double?" Cruze
asked Hunter.
Not for me- said Hunter. and
swung over the edge of the cliff as
the camera started to click.
The weight of the leather chaps
and the cartridge belt and gun prov
ed too much for Hunters strength.
He took two downward jerks "hand-
overland" and then began to slide,
letting the rope slip through his
fingers.
Ten feet from the ground the fric-
ton of the rope. had burned the skin
from the palms of his hands, and he
loosed his grip and fell. But the
scene was finished.
Merton of the Movies" with Viola
Dana featured in support of the star.

on April 18th and 18th.

~HE LETTER WAY was a good way when

The telephone way-a better way. a more

RED CROSS GETTING READY
FOR SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS.

As the year turns toward autumn
and the approach of another Christ
mas, the American Red Cross is
again laying plans to send holiday
cheer to our soldiers and sailors in
foreign countries.
The Merry Christmas of the Red
Cross to her sons in the regular
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
stationed in distant posts will be
again this year a small bag contain
ing nine or ten articles. 1t is essen
tlal that a certain uniformity be
observed in these bags So that one
man does not receive more than an
other. The contents should be sell
ected from the following list, care
being shown that the gifts will in
clude the larger articles: Pocket
knlves-men can never have too
many, they are constantly getting
lost; wash cloth-which may be
wrapped around a piece of soap;
diaries-small pocket size; memoir
andum books-small pocket size;
tobacco pouches, cigarette cases,
pipes, etc.; playing cards and puz-
zles; key rings with chains; mech
anical pencils and pencil sharpeners
Ga good many of these things can be
purchased from 5 and 10 cent
stores); handkerchief or 2; pin
balls-which children can make;
writing pads and envelopes; house
wives. Musical toys, tops, jack
stones and marbles-these provide
good deal of amusement.

day was the best we rave listened
to in this city-and we have had
some good ones.
VIM. Kehtel. manufacturer of the
Elcora and Arrowhead cigars had
remembered the old Tuners. with
several boxes of his old time pro-
ducts and these were satisfactorily
consumed with regards to the gen.
ial Mr.. Kehtel.
The ball following the banquet
at the Washington Auditorium was
attended by a large number of
couples and the excellent music of
the Rainbo Orchestra kept the
bunch on the jump until 2 o'clock.
During the evening the dance was
discontinued for a few minutes and
Miss Dorothy MaGuire of Minne-
apolis, a charming young danseuse,
favored the assemblage with solo
numbers. The offerings of Miss
MaGuire were received with mani
festations of satisfaction by those
present and furnished neat diver
sion from the stereotyped routine
of evening dance numbers. Music
was furnished for the dance num-
bers by Mrs. MaGuire. The toe
and clog dancing of the young lady
were particularly pleasing. At mid
night the ladies of the Auxiliary to
the American Legion served a de-
lightful lunch.
As stated in the beginning, the
meeting of the Old Settlers was
successful one. The attendance
covered every state in the union
and many more would have been
here from points nearer had the
weather been anything but what it
was. The several committees and
officers however are satisfied feeling
that all had done their share in the
success. Mayor E. w. Hanson had
declared a holiday and business
places were closed for the day. The
city had decorated the principal
thoroughfares of the city not dis
rupted in the process of improve
ment, very nicely, fact very much
appreciated by the Association.
To violate the code of the news
paper and attach an editorial ref
erence to the end of this news
story, we will say, that these affairs
tend to keep up the spirit of re-
membrance and make life better.
As DR.. Bradley stated in his ADDRESS,
the world is improving. Some of
US older ones may think that the
demnition bow-wows have us in
their grip, but look at statistics
and a view of the old photograph
album will disillusion the most pes
Simistic. The young ~ upie of to-
day are better equipped to battle
with life, even with their bobbed
hair and skirts than were us older
ones with our code of morals and
parental inhibitions. In the Ian
guage of the times, "We'll say they
are" Times have changed and
while US old timers look with sus-
plcion on some of the things the
younger generation nave to offer,
we must remember that these are
our future citizens. While there
are some places in the world where
things are taking place not just in
accordance with the moral code.
take a look about you and see if
this is not world of progress and
this in face of the fact that the
"don't" sign is not everywhere in
evidence. Education is making the
world revolve and education is the
salvation of the human race.

ELEVENTH. ANNUAL REUNION
YESTERDAY SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
Notwithstanding the Desperate
Weather the Meeting Was One
of the Best Ever Held..-Many
Old Timers Here.
Rain Failed to Mar the Enthus.
iasm, Although Keeping Many
Away from the Excellent Pro.
gram Prepared.

The Eleventh Annual Reunion of
the Vermilion Range Old Settlers
Association is now a matter of his
tory. Although old Jup. Pluv. tried
everything to put the excellent work
of the committees having the affair
in charge to nougtht, he only sue
ceeded in dampening the program
and not the ardor of the participants.
Yesterday morning, the sun came
out with a vim. An hour later
clouds began to form and while it
looked rather threatening, the
parade was called on at promptly
10 o'clock. The parade contained
in the neighborhood of 200 old set
tiers. Cars were on hand to convey
the paraders and families to Sandy
Point where the annual picnic took
place. At this time it began to
rain.
The picnicers moved the tables
and benches into the pavilion and
all crowded. in filling the capaclous
building to the doors. The Associa-
ton served the "booyah", coffee,
cream and sugar among the diners
who had already fortified themselves
with the picnic baskets loaded with
good things to eat. The service
was excellent considering the limit
ed quarters in which the waters OPP
Grated. The Girl Scouts were there
to serve and they did it
Immediately after the dinner and
after the room had been cleared of
the tables, baskets and other en-
cumbrances, the Community Band
rendered several selections and the
dancers took the floor or as much
thereof as was not occupied by those
standing about in groups greeting
old friends and talking over old
times. Many were under the i'm
preston that the rain was God
send as it gave the old timers bet
ter chance to meet and renew ac-
quaintances by being in closer con-
tact.
At about this time, Lieuteant
Governor w. l. Nolan, who had ar
rived on the noon bus was intro
duced and he made a ringing ad-
dress which was loudly applauded.
Governor Nolan is practically an
old timer having travelled this coun-

try thirty years ago. His father al
SO was one of the gold rushers to
Lake Vermilion in 1886. The gov
ernor was at his best in the talk
and that is saying a mouthful. He
is noted as one of the finest speak
ers in the state. This was conceded
by those present long before he had
fairly started his address. Suffice it
to say that the audience standing in
close formation during his tflk were
clamoring for more after he had fin
islhed.
DIR. Preston Bradley with Mrs.
Bradley and Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Owens arrived during Governor
Nolan's addess. DIR. Bradley was re-
turning from two yeeks' speaking
tour in the east and had been met
at Tower by Mrs. Bradley. When
introduced he stated that he had
travelled 1000 miles to be. with the
old timers at this meeting. He has
attended every meeting for the past
ten years and stated the annual
gatherings were the high lights of
his summers spent on Lake YER
million where he maintains a sum-
mer home on Black Duck Island.
The sports committee had prepar-
ed fine program of water sports
and the participants in the events
were there ready to go. The driz-
cling rain which fell all during the
program did not keep the crowd
away and they stood in tie rain
while the events took place. Max
Herseth, swimming instructor in the
Ely schools and this summer employ
ed as guard in charge of the munich
pal bathing beach, was in charge of
the program. The events were well
worth seeing. We shall try and
give the winners in a future issue.
The afternoon passed rather
! pleasantly. The annual banquet at
the dining room of the Memorial
School at six o'clock brought 15O
guests. The ladies of the Presby.

ored comedian of Aitkin who has
appeared with his shows in Milaca
and adjoining towns number of
times, passed away at his home Fri
day from Bright's disease with
which he had been a sufferer for
years. He had toured the country
for 40 years in minstrel acts, and
for twenty years has made his home
in Aitkin, where he met his wife,
Alice Pickett, who always accom-
panied him on his tours. He was
born in Ohio and was 81 years of
age. His cheerful disposition never
wavered even though he knew the
final summons was approaching,
and he met death bravely with the
remark, "My trunks packed for the
journey; l feel ready to CO." Mr..
Pickett will b kindly remembered
by all who knew him, and those who
did business with him regarded him
as scrupulously honest"

The Thirty Year Veterans Asso-
whom are members of the Vermilion
Range Old Settlers Association held
their annual picnic week ago at
Lester Park, Duluth.
The continued service of a num-
Der of the employees of the railroad.
speaks volumes for the loyalty of
the men and the appreciation shown
by the company for efficient service,
as the following list covering a
period of 80 to Al years will
testify:
John Shea-Among first track
men, now road master.
Thos. Owens-First locomotive
engineer, now superintendent and
a director.
A. Headley-First carpenter, now
general car foreman.
H. Johnson-Auditor's clerk, now

G. A. Rock-Telegraph lineman,
now depot agent.
A. d. Holliday-Telegraph oper-
ators now assistant superintendent.
R. B. Elliott-Messenger, now

gineer, conceived and secured Vet
Grams Memorial Tablet.
d. j. Hayes Locomotive en-
gineer, originator of the Duluth &

An interesting fact in regard to
the locomotive engineers. is, that
covering period of Az years the
10 oldest men in point of service
have advanced but one number, and
that due to the death of L. R. Blake
in 1921, then senior locomotive en-
gineer on the Duluth & Iron Range

attribute he held up to a few years
before his death. The following
