FL. MEETING
AT HINCKLEY
Big Political Rally Will be

Arens, Teigan and Sven

Confronting Voters.

The hour of the Farmer-Labor po-
litical meeting which was announced
in last weeks American to be held
in Hinckley on Saturday, Oct 25, has
meen moved ahead from S p. m. to
2 p. m. The date remains the same
only that it will be an afternoon
meeting instead of an evening meet
ing. One other change in the pro-
gram is to the effect that former U.
S. Senator Magnus Johnson will be
unable to attend, but three or more
prominent state candidates will be
on the program and several talks in
behalf of the candidacy of Floyd B.
Olson for governor will be given The
meeting will be held at the Royal
Neighbors hall.
Henry Arens, candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, will be one of the speak
ers Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Arens
has served in the state senate with
credit and distinction and is also one
of the vice-presidents of the Land
OLakes creamery. He has done much
effective work in the interest of the
dairy farmers of Minnesota and will
have an interesting message for the
dairymen of Pine county. He needs
no introduction to the active Coop
erative creamery workers of the
county.
Henry G. Teigan, an active worker
for many years in the progressive
movement of Minnesota, will be on
the program. Mr.. Teigan was Sec
rotary to former U. S. Senator Magnus
Johnson and has likely been the most
active single personality in the devel-
opment of the Farmer-Labor party in
Minnesota since the inception of that
party. He is a candidate for state au-
ditor.
Erling Swenson, candidate for con-
gresham in the Tenth congressional
district, and who made very favor

Hunters Get
Lost In Woods

Much excitement and concern was
in evidence at Hinckley Monday night
and Tuesday when Pete Kallas, candy
kitchen proprietor of that village, and
Wilfred Archambia failed to return
at the appointed time from a hunting
trip. The two men left Monday morn
ing by boat on Kettle river with the
understanding that Campbell Christ
hanson was to meet them In the evening
at the big eddy" In some manner
while making the return trip the two
hunters missed the eddy and passed
on down the river eight miles before
realizing their mistake. When they
did not appear within reasonable
period after the allotted time Mr..
Christianson, fearing something wrong
returned to town and voiced the fear
that they were lost. Citizens of Hinck-
ley divided into groups and spent
most of Tuesday in searching for
them.
Lost In the Woods.
Having drifted down the stream so
great a distance and realizing the
difficulty in rowing against the strong
rapids, the two hunters decided to
make the return trip by foot through
the woods where they followed deer
trail until they became lost After
making sure they could not find their
way home in the darkness they built
fire and spent the night in the open.
The next morning they started tramp
ing and finally came to the Pete Lar
son home where they were met by
HanDes Rypkema who accompanied
them home With the exception OF
being somewhat fatigued from the
tramp through the woods they suf-
fered no i'll effects from their expert
ence.

"UNGUARDED GIRLS" AT LYRIC
THEATRE, DIRECT FROM
EARL CARROLL THEATRE,
NEW YORK.

The producers of "Unguarded
Girls" which opens today at the Ly-
ric Theatre, for one week, were in
spired to arrange this production i'm
mediately after the Government be-
gan prosecution against Mary W.
bennett, the grandmother who pub
lished pamphlets on sex and distrib-
uted them through the mails. This
conviction has caused considerable
discussion throughout the country
and has brought the subject Of sex
before the community throughout the
land. This conviction was recently
set aside by the Supreme Court
thereby upholding Mrs. Dement'S
theory that the subject Of sex is un-
lawful.
"Unguarded Girls" is g stage and
film attraction dealing with the sub
ject of sex and it is frank and to the
point, yet it is so well handled that
it does not offend anyone, but brings
home with it message of tremen-
dous force in manner that has never
before been presented to an audi
ence on the stage. This attraction
has created considerable discussion
during its engagement at the Earl
Carroll Theatre, New York, where II
played an entire Summer.
Unlike the average production in
this type, "Ungarded Girls" runs
more than two hours. This attrac-
tioE is made up of films, slides and
charts, all of which is entirely diff.
ferent with what has heretofore been
shown on the screen or stage in Rich.

A replica of the famous Six

claims in Anvil Creek during the
DAYS of the gold rush to Nome,
Alaska, was built by Paramount
for it's talking edition of "The
Spoilers" coming to the Colonial
Sunday with a special Midnight

The mine took its name, as all
others during those historic days,
through fact that it was the sixth
claim above the discovery claim,
or pioneering claim in the district.
Thus tn first claim up the creek
from the discovery claim became
known as One Above, the next
was Two Above, etc. The claim
below discovery were so described.
In the Rex Beach story, "The

JOE E. BROWN HAS LoUDEST
WARDROBE IN HOLLYWOOD
Displays Some Knockers In "Top
Speed" That Yell For
Themselves

Joe E. Brown, who comes to
the National Theatre next week in
"Top Speed" is noted for having
the loudest wardrobe of any actor
in Hollywood.
The comedian has gathered the
wardrobe during period of years,
and picked up some of his choicest
possessions in smaller cities during
tours on the road while he was still
on the legitimate stage.
"Freak clothes are the hardest
things in the world to buy-be-
lieve it or not" says Brown. 81
have always worn loud clothes on
the stage. But then I come to buy
a wardrobe l find it tremendously
hard to get noisy clothes. 1t is
impossible at good stores, because
they don't carry them, or won't
shom them if they have a
few freaks in stock. However you
can often pick them up in out OF
the way places, or in cheap cloth
ing stores in the poorer parts of
town.
The only Hollywood actor who
has a noisy wardrobe comparable
to Browns is Sam Hardy, who has
also been gathering freak suits for
years. Louise Fazenda has the
strangest woman's wardrobe, num-
boring more than a hundred dress
es that have long since been out
NODDED.
In "Top Speed" which is roll
licking comedy, Brown wear Hol-
lywood's loudest pair of golf
knickers. Bernice Claire, Jack
Whiting, Frank McHugh and Lau-
ra Lee also in this picture, which
has been hailed as the logical sue
cessor to Browns funmaking
