RESURRECTION"
 WILL. GIVE WAY ID "DIRICIbLE"
Capitol to Show Play Laid al Naval Stations
 and Antarctic

Resurrection starring Lupe Velez, will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol thea Ire. "Dlrigible,' with Jack Holt in the leading role, will feature the program for Thanksgiving, and this program will be presented at the matinee at 1 o'clock tonight.
 While Resurrection" Tolstoy's great love epic, was in rehearsal Universal officials were forced to move the music department to a far corner of the big studio.
 BoIes Stops Workers
 It seemed that whenever John Boles, who plays the role of Prince Dmitri in the production, started singing the several song numbers in the picture, the bungalow which at first held the musical division was completely surrounded by lis teners and studio workmen, all eager to hear Boles' rich tenor voice and all thoughts of work were forgotten.
 "Dirigible" is tale of adven- ture and courage, with most of it's action laid at the Naval air Aa- 1 tion at Iakehurst, N J., or in the wastes of the Antarctic region. Holt and Ralph Graves play the role of buddies, both in love with the same woman, though Graves, in the film is married to her and Holts affection is harbored in sec ret.
 Daredevil Navy File
 Graves, enacting the role of a daredevil Navy flier, makes an ex- ploration trip to the South Pole, crashing his plane. Drama enters the plot when Holt, commander of a huge Navy dirigible, goes and rescues him, returning him to the woman both love.
 Full cooperation of the United States Navy was accorded execu- tives of Columbia Pictures in the making of the film, and the en- tire resources of the air station, including the use of the dirigible Los Angeles, were placed at their i disposal.
 Hobart Bosworth has an import ant role in the cast, and others of \ note are Fay Wray, Roscoe Karns and Clarence Muse.
 Chinaware Given Away
 At the Capitol last night, the management began giving china ware to woman patrons. Next week, silverware will be given away. The gifts will continue until every wo- man is afforded opportunity to assemble complete sets of china ware and silverware, each set con- taining 60 pieces.
 The first piece of china to be given away was plate. It was received by Mrs. B. Phelps.

The action unfolds in Rogers dream. He is shown suddenly finding himself in King Arthur's court dressed in modern clothes. The comedy of the situation comes from the fact that the latest in ventions and machinery of the present time are mixed with an- cient doings.
 Cannons And Spears
 Rogers, for example, introduces airplanes, caterpillar engines, can non and machine guns into an age of spears and breastplates.
 While the plot is based on Mark Twain's book "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court there are many notifications in the original story.

FAT MEN

I don't care how fat you are or how much you hate to get out and walk couple of miles. If you will take one half teaspoon of Kruschen Salts in glass of hot water every morning for weeks and cut out pastries, sugar and fatty meats
 You will feel so good-so energetic and the urge for activity will be so great that you will immensely en- joy a daily walk of several miles and lose fat.
 While you are losing fat you will be gaining in energy-in en- durance-in ambition. Your skin will grow clearer and your eyes will sparkle with the good health that Kruschen brings. Just try one 85c bottle of Kru- schen Salts; it will last you 4 weeks After you have taken one bottle the old arm chair won't hold you any more-you'll want to be UT and doing-you'll enjoy work-you'l sleep like a top and probably live years longer. Get Kruschen al Juneau Drug Go. or Butler Maur( Drug Go. or any live druggist 1T America with the understanding that you must be joyfully satisfied or money back.

No Drinking fer Mix

The present desire of players to appear in "good' and nice char acters on the screen-with even the villains yearning for sympa- thetic parts-is new, result of the trend away from sex and gangster pictures.
 But it had no part in the story changes which Tom Mix demanded and got-before he would begin work on his first talkie.
 Mix, approaching his vast child audience, consistently has refused to drink, smoke, or shoot hap hazardly on the screen, his shoot ing, in fact, being confined to gun- play in self-defense only. As the opening sequence of the story as written had him involved in a drunked brawl, he insisted on a change.

Hinckley Course
Offers Par Prize

Hinckley boasts of miniature golf
course since the Greenwood Indoor
golf course opened for business ON
January 1 in the building formerly
occupied by the Hinckley Drug Co.
Col. Ed Burk and Bob Nelson are own
ers and managers of the new venture.
The course is very sporty with water
hazards that puzzle the best of them
and banked greens that offer much
the same difficulties as does large
course. Nineteen strokes make a par
score on the course and a set of
matched gold golf clubs has been Of
fered to the person first turning in d
par score. There are also prizes offered
for low score every week and 'hole
in one" feats on some of the more
difficult green's.
The material used in the construc-
ton of the fairways is manufactured
at Cloquet and is a wood product, thus
the name Greenwood" was derived
Business has been reported as having
been good since the opening of the
course and enthusiastic golfers are
working overtime trying to get that
set of gold clubs.

BOARD ADOPTS
A RESOLUTION
Annual Meeting of County Dads FavOrs
Bridge Across Kettle River
E. L. Wilcox is Chairman.

E. L. Wilcox of the I'd district, was
chosen as the chairman of the board
of county commissioners for the COM
ing year at the annual meeting of that
body Tuesday. Mr.. Wilcox will sue
coed Frank w. Stepan who has been
chairman during the past year.
Among other items of business
transacted including acceptance of
bonds of all county officials, the board
adopted a resolution asking C. M.
Babcock of the state highway COM
mission, to construct a bridge across
Kettle river at a point in Finlayson
township directly west of Askov. The
proposed site of the bridge is in Com
missioner Stepan's district and will
be a real convenience to the residents
of both sides of the river living in
Ffnlayson township; to those having
occasion to go to the pavement; and
to the county crews whenever heavy
road machinery must be transported
to this section of the county and which
transportation without such a bridge
necessitated much farther route
around by Rutledge. Mr.. Stepan has
spent much time and effort toward
getting bridge across the river at
this point and it is apparent that such
will soon be realized. The resolution

CREAMERIES ARE
FOR TEST PLAN
Four Pine County Plants Have Signed
for Statewide Cow Test
ing Plan.

Four Pine county creameries have
signed agreements with the State
wide Cow Testing association at the
University Farm making available to
their patrons the new plan of having
their cows tested by mail. They are the
cooperative plants at Beroun, Hinck-
ley, Brook Park and Finlayson. The
boards of three other creameries have
voted to accept the plan and will be
presented with agreements for sign
ing this week by County Agent w. F..
Hammargren.
These seven creameries represent
half of the cooperative creameries in
the county, cooperating in this new
service which has been in operation
only about two months. Ole Lyseth
and Son of Beroun, were the first to
enter their herd for testing by ar
rangement with the creamery. Their
twenty cows will be tested this month.
Chris. Fredriksen of Askov, placed his
herd of fifteen cows on test in De-
cember, without waiting to sign up
through his creamery. He is there
fore the first Pine county farmer to
use testing by mail service.
Farmers wishing to secure the test
ing service may apply to their cream
cry secretaries. The testing of sam
Piles and keeping of records is all done
at University Farm. Each month the
laboratory mails a box of sample cans
to the farmer and sends sheets for
recording the weight of each cows
milk. The farmer weighs the milk
from each cow for one night and one
morning, taking samples of each
milking. He then sends the samples
and weights to University Farm, later
receiving a record on each COW for
the month.
Circulars describing the plan in full
may be had by applying to County
Agent Hammargren at the County Ex-
tension office at Hinckley it is an
