. THEATERS S R e S e o e N .-~ AUTHENTIC ?B.AMA Sergeant- Empey’s famous phrase, “Over the Top,” the title of his book ands’of the Vitagraph: picture, has _become America’s war cry. There #ds not a child but knows for what jit stands, and not a loyal American ‘who does not:utter it with a thrill. . “Over the Top,” the first authentic %roductlon of the-drama and tragedy ./ that is the war, has been hailed as one of the greatest photoplays in the history .of motion pictures, and is ranked as the foremost of all super- productfons. of the screen because of the. personality of the star and the .;-importance of the play as a.contri- butionto the historical phase of the . war and its relation to the war work <., of the United States. - Because, & regular’army training camp was used 7+ 'in making the trench scenes and Am- Y. ‘erican iregulars were employed in the . mimig battles, the-play has received .. semi-official recognition from the war department. i ‘‘Over‘the Top,”in which Sergeant o ‘Empey himself appears as the star, ' will be shown'at the’ Elko theater . three days, ‘beginning. tomorrow, .-~ matinies and evenings. ELKO TONIGHT 3 An enthralling interesting story is told in *‘Vengeance,” the new ‘World picture, which will be shown at the Elko theater tonmight only. The story is altogether different and unusual, and as acted by Momrtagu Love, Barbara Castleton and a very superior cast, is exceptionally enter- taining. ¥ wittiad A R OSRAML ftea American; clean cut, incisive, power- ful ‘and forceful. That is why ‘his pictures are the. success,they are. His latest photoplay, “Selfish Yates,” which is to be shown at the Grand] theater tonight and tomorrow, is a big broad theme - treated in a- big bread way.

Balshofer, this production partakes of the nature of | a faree, an “extravaganza, and ' a powerful -dramatic -story. Nothing like it has hitherto been seen on the screen. Further attractiveness .is added by the clever work of the fa- vorite star, Harold Lockwood, and of his charming leading woman, Carmel Myers. - Charlie Chaplin will also be seen in a two-reel scream. Rex Friday, “Her Boy” is a great message. of patriotism: in line with Metro’s con- sistent policy of aiding the govern- ment in every: possible way to light the torch of patriotic fervor and keep it flaming. = Lovely Effie Shannon and Niles: Welch are co-starred in the.production; but other parts are of great:strength and value, and the human element of the story itself i the utmost importance in “Her * at the -Rex Friday. 7/GUAM IS A LOYAL ISLAND ;_Volunpry- Universal Training He[pl Very Materlally In Amerl« canization. * How far the people of the Pacific island of Guam have progressed:in the process of Americanization is-indicat- ed in the current issue of the Guam .News Letter, copies of which have re- cently reached Seattle, Wash, the Post-Intelligencer of that city states. The island, which is our cable outpost for the Philippine islands and the ori- ent, is governed by Capt. Roy C. Smith of the American navy, under the over- sight of the navy department. Cap- tain Smith.-seems to. be developing a very ardent brand of Americanism among - the island, people, who are known .as Chamorros and have a strong admixture of Spanish blood. The News Letter describes the cele- bration of Washington’s birthday in Guani, to which the people flocked from all parts of the island, coming by launch, owing to the absence of any island highway system. The proceeds of .the various enterprises, amounting to $1,270.55, were donated to the /Red Cross, and we gather that the program of amusement was purely American. For instance, the “hot dog” stand realized $108.94; Butler’s soda, $158.- 50; knock the cat down, $112.07; the moving picture show, $75.90; the jit- ney dance, $45.60; wheel of fortune, $350.10; lemonade stand, $72.03 ; base- ball:game, $16.40.. From all sources the Red Cross received $1,500, and subscriptions were given for $50,000 in Liberty -bonds. More- than’ this, the island militia- had its\first parade... Some time ago Governor Smith put into effect a uni- versal military training law at the re- quest of the people, this being the first portion of American territory in which such a law has been made effec- tive. There are 1,000 militiamen, the government supplying guns and am- munition and the regular khaki uni- form of the United States army. Seven per cent of Guam's population is in the militia, at which rate, if we of the mainland kept up with the Chamorros, we, should have an army of 7,000,000. T_hg' flags and floats of the parade in- duced a tremendous enthusiasm. .in the populace. The Tesidents of Paynesville ‘are rejoicing the hospital has been re- opened.. The former manager went over to assist in putting some boches in the hospital. DOUBLY PROVEN Bemidji Readers Can No Long- er Doubt the Evidence This Bemidji -citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief—of undoubted benefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete—the evidence conclusive. It forms convincing proof of merit. Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1,200 Dewey Ave., says: ‘“Some years ago I “‘was greatly annoyed with my kid- neys. I had a weak and lame back and it hurt me to stoop. I felt stiff and lame in the morning. I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I haven’t had any lame back since, and my kidneys have acted all right.” (Statement given March 20, 1912.) On November 2, 1917, Mr. Gord- hamer said: “I haven’t had a sign of kidney trouble since Dozn’s Kid- ney Pills cured me five years ago. The cure has lasted, and I gladly re- peat my other endorsement.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that. Mr. Gordhamer had.

Bérker’s Drug & Jewelry - Store, 217 Third Street | KODAKS Woman’s Right to Improve Her Looks - If She Sees Fit to Do So, Rules Court, Oleveland, 0.—Woman has a perfect right to powder and paint and‘wear short skirts. It 1s a woman’s right to improve her looks with paint and pow- der if she sees fit to do so, and if the style says that she shall show an ankle or maybe more, then.she may do that also, and may wear skirts as short as she wants to, as long as the police are satisfied. This, in brief, was Judge Levine's finding in a Suit for divorce brought by Sandor Ignatz against Mrs, Mary Tgnatz, his wife. Ignatz alleged cruelty in his petition for separation from a wife who painted and showed too | much of -her anatomy to passersby. Ignatw must take her back or pay sep- arate maintenance. “SWAT THE YELLOW DOG” Campaign Against Person Who' Car- rles Rumors of Disasters, Inno- " cently or With Intent. Clevelan'd, O0.—“Swat the Yellow Dog.” 2 . This is the plea of a pamphlet being issued by the Cleveland Advertising club as a contribution to the cam- paign against lgsldlpus rumors of mil- itary- disaster and against German propaganda.. The pamphlet will be used as a letter enclosure and i the local advertising club will attempt te get the other advertising clubs of the United States and Canada to issue similar pamphlets and push the cam- paign. The Yellow Dog is describéd as a person who carries rumors of disaster and spreads German propa . ganda,-innocently or with intent.

Davie ninety-eight years old, has decided tc settle down here after crossing the continent twenty times. “I am.going to spend the rest of my days here,” he said, “unless the old roving spirit again sejzes me.” Mr. Davie says he re members New York when its popula tion was 800,000 and the city was light: ed with oil lamps. He also remembers when the New Yorkers kept pigs and chickens in their back yards and car ried water from pumps in the middle of each block. g EXPLOSIVES MADE OF CHEESE 8wiss Paper Launches Spirited Pro- test Against Abuse of Food Products. Amsterdam.—Swiss cheese is being exported from Switzerland to belliger- ‘ent countries to be used in the manu- facture of ammunifion. Vaterland, a |Luzerne journal, launched a spirited 'protest against what it calls a fla- grant misuse of valuable nutritive ma- ‘terfal for war purposes. ‘While there are many children with- out sufficient milk in Switzerland, says the paper, no milk product should be gent to the countries at war. Barrel the Only Rolling Container. A barrel can be rolled. This Is its greatest merit. Every other shape of container which weighs over (00 pounds when filled must be lifted bod- ily and carried on a hand truck or by hoisting machinery. 'One man can uh- load a carload of sugar—200 barrels of it—in less than an.hour. BE PRETTY! TURN GRAY HAIR DARK| Try Grandmother’s old Favor- ite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Almost everyone knows that Sage|. Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask- ing at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compbund,” you will: get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, for about 50 cents. Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by . morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Wyeth!’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound. is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in- tended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
