The question and reply will set at rest considerable doubt among some people and is as follows: i ; What proportion or percentage of the men Qemoblhzed isince the signing fo the armistice showed ummpglred health upon discharge, that is, who were not disabled in any way, jor affected with disease?—R. R. According to an announcement July 9, 1919, from the office of the surgeon general of the army, more than 93 per cent of the 2,000,000 officers and men of the army demobilized . since the signing of the armistice were discharged with a clean bill of health. Six per cent of the men were;reported to the bureau of war risk insurance of disabilities, and one per cent were held on account of communicable diseasées.under develop- ment or other causes. e _—— BOOST YOUR TOWN. % . An ideal citizen is one who sees something good in his town and spreads the good news abroad that other may benefit therefrom. Of course, there are other sidelights to the ideal citizen, but the quality of loyalty is one which produces tangible results. There are three distinct attitudes which a person may assume toward the community which houses and feeds him— to boost, to remain quiescent, or to knock. The booster pushes his town along, the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep, and the knocker helps to put it out of business. Which are you? - : Perhaps you have never given it a thought. You may not realize yourself which you are—but your.neighbors all know. They have you accurately catalogued:according to your deserts. ", If you are a booster, they adniire you; if you are quiescent, they wonder when you will. emerge from your:slumbe¥’; and.if you are a knocked, they yearn for the day when you will fold up your tent and silently fade away. Boost the home town, and its citizéns will boost you. Knock it, and you knock yourself infinitely mere. Clemenceau is to be made president of France as a reward for his work in the war.

Vivian Martin, the dainty little star, who has gained a widespread reputation for her excellent work in clever, wholesome roles, will -again; be the attraction at the Elko theatre tonight. in “The Third Kiss,” a Para- mount-Artcraft picture which will win her many new admirers.. Her latest success is a charming love story of a factory girl who is not quite what she seems and a big hearted man who marries her and then goes through fire to win her love. The episode of the fated ‘‘third kiss,” from which the picture derives its name, is a clever litle twist that adds to the enjoyment of the film. REX—TONIGHT. H. B.

For a while it’s nip and tuck be- tween the Army and the Navy in Marguerite Clark’s new Paramount- Artcraft picture, “Widow by Proxy,” which comes to the Elko theatre to- morrow, also Monday and Tuesday. Eventually both win. The picture is chock-full of startling surprises and in every way an admirable vehicle for the popuiar little star. Catherine Chisholm Cushing is the author of the play upon which the picture is hased. Nigal Barrie heads a capable supporting cast. _ The Elko orchestra plays Sunday evening, and a Harold Lloyd comedy appears at each performance Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. REX—SUNDAY. MONDAY. How the love of Ruth Pomeroy and Spencer Vail was denied them in order:tRat Bruce Corbin might vent his spleen against the Pomeroy fam- ily is the unusual incident around which most of ‘“The Thunderbolt,” starring Katherine MacDonald, and which will be shown at the Rex the- atre, commencing _Sunday for two days, is based. 5 The engagement of Ruth Pomeroy, played by Katherine MacDonald, to Spencer Vail, 1s suddenly broken off when Ruth discovers that Bruce Cor- bin, holding a hatred for her family Cole and distributed by Exhibitors Mutual. The play is well constructed in that the audience knows that the ac- cusation of the blackmailer is false, but there is no way in which Dr. Mannering (Warner) can prove it. Only the death of the adventuress «can remove the sinister shadow, and this is brought about in a highly dramatic manner: . . James J. Corbett will be seen in. another of his series, “The Midnight man,” and a Fox ‘“Weekly World's News” will be shown. due to a feud of long standing, de- mands that she marry him and threatens the exposure of her father as a contemptible check forger should she refuse. Uncomplainingly, Ruth carries Corbin, fully knowing that she hates him and that she can only love Vail, whose affection she is denied.
