Much money will be spent around here during the coming Christmas holidays. It is right that it should be so, for every :normal person likes to partake of the joys of the yule txme. But where will that money go? Will the profits remain here, and- continue to circulate in our midst, and enrich our local community? The answer i8 in our own hands. Our local merchants will be well equipped for supplying - our demands. The goods will be on their counters, where we can see -them, judge as to their quality, and know what we get. And the name of a local dealer stands as a guarantee for everythmg he sells. IR But if we buy abroad we lose from our mldst both the dealer’s cost price and his. profits We never see them again. And our community is the poorer to the extent of the profits on every article not purchased at home. Which shall it be? & A constructive Christmas, or a destructive one? i ‘Prosperity should begin at home. 5 —_———————— RED CROSS INTEREST MOUNTING. “Interest in the Red Cross which manifested itself in a downward curve for some time after the close of hostilities, isnow gradually mounting hlgher and higher, as the peace time program of the orgamzatlon is understood,” says Clifford -C. . Hield, division manager, northern division, American Red Cross. “Snd:y per cent of ‘the chapters are organized fully for: the membership drive, November 2 to 11. .’ Red: Cross supplies including posters, enrollment blanks, badges, buttons, window flags, and instructions for handling the record, are already in the hands of chapters.

NEWS OF THE THEATERS st - “THE NEW MOON”—REX., “The New Moon,” Norma Tal- madge’s latest Select picture, in which she is presented by Joseph M. Schenck tonight and tomorrow at the Rex theatre, is a tense and thrilling urama of Russian home life as it exists today. It is not a war picture and has no war scenes in it, but is the story of a Russian Princess, Marie Pavlovna, who is attacked in her castle by an anarchist and forced to flee for safety. In her hurried escape shé is separated from her fiance, Michail Koloyar. To insure her safety the princess disguises erself as a peas-| ant girl and goes to a neighboring province where she takes refuge in a small store. As a possible means of finding a clue to the wheredbouts of his lost fiancee, Michail becomes a member of the Anarchist club under the rule of Kameneft. Meanwhile, into the peace of the village where the princess is flnding all the happiness possible without Michail, comes the decree issued by Knmeneff ordering all the women . in the province to register, for the pur- post of nationalization. While some of the women are duped into beiiev- ing, the princess knows the true meaning of the edict and refuses. What happens from this point on will supply the audience with thrills that will make the spine run cold, and eventually, smiles of hsppinsss " REWARD SHE ASKED. Salomy asked for the head of John the Baptist as a reward for pleasing King Herod with the dance of the seven veils. Mira Sacky, the beautiful mermaid in “The Woman Michael Married,” who had saved the life of the boy-pal of the rich young soclety bachelor, exacted from the grateful man that he marry her-—a professional diver and swimmer—just marry her and right, provided the resoluter g{lve her his name and money, that’s all! This is the basis of the plot of Bessie Barriscale’s latest productjon which is said, by many who saw it at the Grand theatre last nigat, to be an especially good photoplay.. This feature will again be shown in the Grand theatre tonight. “THE LAW OF MEN.” There is something new in pictures —a court scene with which judges, lawyers..and officials can pick no technical flaws. It occurs in the pic- turization of “The Law of Men,” /the latest Thomas H. Ince picture star- ring Enid Bennett, shown in the Elko theatre last night and again to be screened at the Elko tonight, and in which Niles Welch, a favorite Para- mount player, is the leading man. Every movement in this court accord- ed with legal juris prudence in the ed with, legal jurisprudence in the entertaining photoplay was produced. e e ——————ct—— et e Reindednr Meat. The former United States commis- sioner at Saint Michael, Alaska, Wil- llam B. Stephenson, writes in his new book about Alaska. “The Land of To- morrow,” that “the reindeer reaches of the far North are destined to solve the meat question for the United States.” “Reindeer breeding 1s fast becom- ing an important factor, and here again one must revert to the land. Reindeer need space, for they are the beef of Alaska and must have pas- turage. This pasturage is always to be had. Reindeer steaks are and have been for a long time regularly quoted on the Seattle markets. That they will one day figure conspicuously in our meat supply cannot be questioned. Already the big packing concerns have sent thelr representatives to look: over the ground. There is one drawback to this industry, however, which .will have to be adjusted and regulated be- fore it can become profitable. The cost of shipping is now prohibitive Alaska now has 100,000 reindeer. With- in the next ten years she will have 8,000,000."
