In filming this work, Mr. Wright has had a wealth of rich .material from which to make his picture and the result has been.a work:of art in the field of motion pictures. A sim- ple love story, typically American, the scenes are set in the Ozark ‘moun- tains of Missouri to wlhich region comes a world-weary ‘man who finds there a- dgep sorrow left ‘by /his long- lost son.

THE FARMER’S POCKET b " California has long been celebrated for its excellent road- ways—but California is by no means satisfied with what she has, says the St. Paul Dispatch. On July 1, Californians will vote ‘at’ a special election, which has been called by the gover- nor, to authorize the expenditure of the huge sum of $40,000,- 000 for the completion of the highway systems of that state. That Californians will approve the measure is regarded as certdin. They are so intent upon it that they do not propose to wait for the regular election, but ask a special election in order that the work may be begun at the earliest possibie: oment. One of the most interesting phases of post-bellum recon- struciton is the' mounting public concern in the matter of good roads. Duringthe next five or six years a sum running high into the hundreds of ‘millions of dollars will be spent in the United States for paving highways. . Pennsylvania is sperding $50,-| 000,000, Illinois' $60,000,000 and here in Minnésota, if the am-|] ‘endment passed by the last session of the legislature is approv- ed by the people; we shall spend in the neighborhood of $100;-|.| paved roadways 6,000 miles in{ . length. We could not afford to do léss. - As compared with the roads of California, Florida, Illinois and-Pennsylvania ours are|, 000,000 on a great network of very poor, no state needs relief more sorely than ours. ‘Good roads; of course, mean the attraction to Minnesota, of profitable tourists travel—but they mean far more than this. Last September at Cleveland a test was made of several two-ton trucks on paved and unpaved roads. traveled 100 miles on 8.49 gallons of gasoline over the paved road. The cost for gasoline at 25 cents a gallon, was $2.12. Oveér the plain dirt road' these trucks traveled a similar dis- tance on 17.30 gallons each, the cost for gasoline being $4.33, on-an increase of more than 100 per cent. Every time you drive a mile on a dirt road, you use twice as‘much gasoline as when you travel on a paved surface. At this rate, it woyld not take several million automobiles long to save the entire sum to be spent on hard-surfacing American roads. And these figures, of course, take no account of the tire economy obtained on hard-surfaced roads. The average -tire wfl_l probably duplicate the economy effected in the matter of g to' ma ine. The farmer who is interested in-moying his ket speedily and cheaply is first to realize the de: of extending city paving into the country districts. ility It means money in his pocket—and under the Minnesota system, the cost fis- to ‘be paid by the motor cars. | NEWsOFTHE THEATERS "WITH EYES-OF THE SOUL. Leonce Perret, in ‘“Ahe Unknown Love,” which will be shown at the Grand theatre today and Tuesday as a Pathe special has realized a big emiotional and @rtistic ideal in the star, Dolores Cassinelli, a gifted act- ress, over whose beauty eminent art- ists have gone into raptures. In her he has a personage that fills to per- fection all of his dreams of romance; and in E. K., Lincoln, who fully measures up to the strong, mascu- 1iné . requirements of .the story, a - young. leading man.who realizes all of the tremendous heart interest. Mr. Perret is both the author and the di- «, rector of the story; and how the com- bination worked is shown to splen- did advantage in the harmony of ac- tion and that attention to minute de- tall, which make for perfection. He has established a high mark for the pldy and the persons in it express art in its purest sense—art, veauty and feeling! ' It is. a big story of ideal love; it is a perfect poem of patriot- ism; it is a wonder-tale of hearts, and one of the greatest woman picture plays of the year. Girls will be charmed by the noble, exalted, ro- mantie spirit of it; and, to the women of years, it will bring back the gold- en days of youth; when nothing mat- tered. but love. - . “Fatty” Arbuckle and Mabel Nor- mand -the two seers.of fur makers also appear in the Keystone comedy, “He:Did and He Didn’t.” AT THE REX THEATRE. Anita Stewart in “Mary Regan’ scored’ a hit at the Rtx last evening and the photoplay will be shown again: tonight. - It is the story of a daughter of a conviet who is in love with a dectective but refuses his at- tentions because of the stain on her name., . She is tricked by blackmail- ers and obliged to marry a son of a millionaire in secrecy. How she is| saved by the detective is- shown by the picture. See it tonight, as it will bt your last chance to see this big production. i “HITTING THE HIGH SPOTS.” The rapidity with which Bert Ly- tell, the popular young Metro star, who will oe shown tomorrow at the Rex in.‘“‘Hitting the High Spots,” has risen ‘in his profession, a shining example. of what determination, . coupled with exceptional talent, can do:“Bor1l of a well-known theatrical family: young Lytell began his car- eerion the stage at.an early age. His father >and mother' both ' attained fame : dai: thie his grand- théatre, tat_nr; J-K Mortinier was for years|h one of Augustine Daly’s most bril- liant stars. .Living in a theatrical atmosphere it was the most natural thing that the boy should develop along the lines which hua made his people famous and after graduating from Upper Canada college, in Toron- to, he took up the art or the drama in real earnestness. Heé entered a stock company and played the lead- ing role in practiéally every ‘success- ful drama produced in ‘London and New York. Having a thorough grounding in the art of expression he was not long in appearing as a star on Broadway where he played until the lure of the screen made him de- sert the stage and sign a long-term contract. with Metro. The latest of his Broadway successes was ‘‘Mary’s Ankle,” in which he was co-starred with Irene Fenwick. LILA LEE—PIRATE. James Oliver Curwood, who wrote “Peggy, the Pirate,” from which Lila Lee’s new starring vehicle, “Such a- Little Pirate,” is a writer who is well known to American read- ers. Mr. Curwood’s many stories have won him a large following among ‘the American magazine and ‘book reading public, and the many readers of “Peggy, the Pirate,” will ‘welcomeé: a chance to see Patrici Wolf, the chdrming heroine, por- trayed on_the screen by the beéauti- | ful little Lila Lee. Miss' Lee’s sudden rise to fame has been one of the most extraordinary happenings of the year in the screen world, and. she has fully lived up to the elaborate things that were pre- dicted for her by her admirers. | “Such a Little Pirate” will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and to- morrow, matinee and evening ‘“Hum- bugs and Husbands,” a “Big V” two put comedy, is also on the program. SEARCH FOR WEALTH. The romance of the mining camps still exerts a powerful sway upon the hearts and minds of old and foung alike. There is something al- luring’ about the search for wealth hidden from the viéew of men, but which when' found, often proves the moral and physical ruin of the finder. This was not the case however, with Susfe Baldwin, an uncouth girl of Starveout Camp, after her father had struck it fabulously rich. ‘What happened to Susie is’told in thrilling style in “Fuss and Feathers,” Enid Beunett's new Thomas H. Ince-Paramount vehicle which will be ,8hown at the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thursday. “SHEPARD OF THE HILLS.” The. homely story of “Old Matt” and “Young Matt,” Sammy Lane and the gentle Shepard of the Hills and] all the big-hearted mountain folks, who were so realistically portrayed in Harold Bell Wright's novel of “The Shepard of the Hills,” live again in the picturization, which has ®en made by the author of this | picting dazzling in their granduer and de- faithfully . the marvelous beauty of these hills of Southwestern Missouri. . The production is in ten reels and forms an evenings entertainment of | exceptional interest. -APPOINTED DIRECTOR. MILITARY AREONAUTICS| | Each truck, fully-loaded, || A néw photograph of Brig.

A. Danlels of that city from the opposite side of the river, hit the water, ricogheted and struck the lad in the forchead. The boy, stunned by the impact, at first was believed dead, but regained |: consciousness hefore being brought to Bend. The bullet, its course being de flected, had followed the bone and was found imhedded under the scalp. Only the fact that the leaden pellet struck ‘one of the thickest portions of the skull saved hig life, anccording to the attending physitian. N i i Can Use Growing : Trees for Radio ‘Washington. — Before the American Physical society, hold- ing its annual spring meeting at the United States buréau of’ standards, Maj. Gen. George O. Squfer, chief sigudl officer of the® army, announced a discovery which in Importance and mag- nitude will startle the world.

I London—Every day sees the ofen- ing of a new dancing room in London. “There is mot a public hall to rent n the city or a private hall either,” id an old ballet master who is now a ballroom- dance manager. “House agents, particularly in. Kensington, | haye entered the spirit of' the search and, are’ canvassing the owners, and tens\nts, of private houses who niay havp big rooms to let. A private houpge has an advantage over a public hall “as it ‘can keep open until the next day {t it likes, while a public hall wust “close at midnight. 4 “A: gyone teaches duncing now.

The St: oil and the Farmer "SHERE is no general class of men 4§ who understand so thoroughly, and ; appreciate so well, the service ren- .dered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as do the farmers of the Middle West. : A= i Wherever he may live the farmer is as familiar with the dark green tank wagon as he is with the conveyance which brings the mail carrier. He knows that-his requirements ‘of petroleum’ products will be provided. : He depends.\xpon the service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), confident that the company will deliver to him whatever prod- ucts he needs, whep he needs them, and ata price which is fair. During the past two or three strenuous years the farmer of America has carried the responsi- bility for feeding the worid. Everyhour of every - day he wasbusy, and every-minute was precious. ‘To multiply the effectiveness of his own_and his - employes’ labor, he installed modern equipment— tractors, trucks, cultivating and harvesting machinery. - § 2 To run these machines gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oils, and greases were absolutely necessary. To get them the farmer would have been forced to take hours of time going to town were it not for the distributing facilities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Company _brought the products he needed to the farm, even to the tractor in the field. It is this kind of service which has brought the farmer and the Company into such close and such friendly relations. It is this kind of service which emphasizes the usefulness of the Standard .Oil Company (Indiana) as a public servant. ; Standard 910 So.
