That is something we all want and it is something we all i or, provided it doesn’t involve too much immediate m:vgnienge. We are willing to practice thrift when it can be done without too much self sacrifice becapse we know that by spending less than we earn we are approaching thg pleasant pasture of independence and where no terrors wait in the shadows of life’s sunset. . S But procrastination is the thief of time and .tlme is money and all too many of us are prone to raise our voices—soprano, tenor and bass—in the popular melody, “I just can’t save money.” Still way down in our hearts we have a feeling that, under certain circumstances, we really can save and that we don’t is due more to the fact that we lack a desirable method of procedure, rather than the necessary funds. . Realizing this to be true and viewing with apprehension the present day tendency toward wholesale extravagance, many of the banks of the Ninth Federal Reserve district are opening up a new avenue for savings—the partial ‘payment plan for the purchase of United States treasury savings certificates, the $100 maturity value certificates being obtainable for as low as $2 a week. s The plan, which has been tried out in other parts of the country, is meeting with marked success. Ask your banker about it. TSR Oy In a straw vote of the St. Paul Pioneer Press in Minnesota, being carried on among county officials, the candidacy of Leonard Wood is leading strong in the republican selections by twice as much as any other G.

By some of the literature, now being sent out from demoeratic head- quarters in California, it appears that James W. Gerard is being urged to run for the presidency. Oh, no, not in 1920, but four years hence. At least so we construe the letter written to mean, as it requests the editor to save the accompanying literature for future use. It also adds that Mr. Gerard is still a young man and might not be nominated this year. SR Rl HORSES PROVE ONLY DEPENDABLE MOTIVE POWER. The craze for motors has been such a constantly increasing cry during the last decade that the approaching funeral of the horse was accepted by many as a certain future event. On February 4 Mother Nature made men realize how indispensible horses are by sending to New York City and a large part of the Atlantic coast, a rousing good blizzard oY the old-fashioned kind. Under trying conditions such as these the horse won out and the motor laid right down on the job. Within a radius of four miles of the heart of New York City there were so many machines stuck fast in the snow that it was impossible for even horses to get through some of the streets. As a consequence, on February 8, Mayor Hylan issued a proclamation stopping traffic. Had a larger number of horses been used, previous to and during the storm there would have been fewer vehicles stuck in the drifts. Consequently traffic would not have been held up. It has been estimated that the blockade in traffic caused a loss along the Atlantic coast of between 50 and 100 million dollars in a period of ten days. During the tie-up which has not yet been entirely relieved, the largest ;;vholmsale1 dry goods house in New York kept all machines in and worked orses only. — e PLEASE PASS THE CHICKEN. A well known traveling man came into our office the other day and commented thusly: “Say, do you know that I left Minneapolis over a week ‘ago and haven’t had a decent meal until I hit Bemidji. This Markham hotel has some reputation and is ome of the best advertisements your city has. They sure do serve good meals.” We might add that Bemidji’s popular hostelry will compare favorably with any in the United States, no exception. _— BOOSTING FOR THE FARM. o :\ According to the Clearbrook Leader the citizens of that booming city son- Cole special and deserves all thel title implies. Made under the direction of that wizard of art-creators; Maurice Tour- neur, it reveals this screen master- producer at his best. As he has trans- lated it to the silver sheet it is tense and heart-gripping;—the story of a young and delicately fibered child of nature—a waif of the Canada woods, who, stolen as a child from her noble parents by a revengeful governess, who tryrannizes over her and at- tempts to brutalize her nature, be-: comes the victim of a cruel jest of fate thru an unfortunate love affair with a brilliant but thoughtless young composer. ( There will also be shown a Certury comedy in two parts. HART DOES REAL STUNTS . “WHEN THE DESERT SMILED"” One of the thrilling scenes in ‘““When the Desert Smiled” the west- ern feature that will be shown at the Rex theatre, next Thursday, is the stunt that Neal Hart, the star, does in the third reel. Hart throws a lariat across ¢ chasm some 150 feet, hooks it outo a rock on the othr side and then crosses the chasm, hand over hand, ani recrosses again. This is a real stunt and not a ‘“fake” one. Hart is a real west- erner who will not “fake” a .scene. He is a man who has lived in earnest the scenes he portrays on the screen. SALISBURY FRIDAY .. .. IN“SUNDOWN TRAIL” ‘‘Oh, east is east and west i3 west, and never the twain shall meet.” That oft quoted phrase of Rudyard Kipling may or may not be true. but ‘west and south meet on common ground in “Sundown Trail”, a new Universal six-reel production starring Monroe Salisbury, which comes to the Rex theatre on Friday. Salisbury is seen as “Quiet” Car- ter, Southern aristocrat, who finally finds himself in ‘* Spanish Bar,” the wildest, wooliest mining camp of “‘the west that was.” . Salisbury discovers that southern courtesy is not as desirable around the village as-a quick draw with a gun. How ‘“‘Carter” bests the frockcoat bully of the camp and sayes the girl he loves from a fate worse than death, provides the vital dramatic situations of the story. LAST TIME TONIGHT E. K. Lincoln, actor, farmer, sports- man and breeder of blooded dogs, was absolutely happy in his role of Dick Gale im‘‘Desert Gold,” tlie: Benjamin B. Hampton-Eltinge F. Warner photo- play from Zane Grey’s popular novel showing-at the Grand theatre for the last time tonight. The réason was because he wanted to play a western part. “‘l wanted an outdoor role where I could ride and fight,” confessed the virile young actor. “The first pictures I ever made were pictures fn which I did a lot of riding and little else. 1 couldn’t ride very well in those days, bpt Chick Morrison, who does some r!ding in “Desert Gold,” was a crack rider and anything he did I tried. I didn’t do them very well, but at least 1 didn’t break my neck.” “And I like a good fight. After a lot of dress suit dramas, the role of Dick Gale, where 1 wore all the trap- pings of a cowboy, did some rough riding, pulled a gun and used my fists was a welcome relief.” BILL HART IN NOVEL ROLE William S. Hart doffs the ‘hair pants” and sombrero in his new Paramount-Artcraft picture supervis~ ed by Thomas H. Ince, *John Petti- coats,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre next week, and injects himself into the refined civilization of New Orleans, where he has inherit- ed a modiste shop from a deceased uncle. As ‘“Hardwood” John Haynes, Bill starts out as a lumberjack in the northwest woods and is lured to the Southern city largely because he be- lieved it is a saloon that has been willed to him. His adventures there are said to furnish a thoroughly en- tertaining story in Mr. Hart’s best style, involving his thrilling rescue of @ girl from drowning in the Missis- sippi and dramatic exposal of the man who has caused the suicide. Of course, he wins the Southern belle who loughed at his crudities when he first made his -appearance at her home as a boarder. Winifred*West- over is the leading woman, and the picture was directed by Lambert Hillyer.

The local scout executive had vis- Iteq the school for the purpose of or- ganizing a troop. He talked to the boys for a time and then taught them several yells, some for their school and some for the principal, all of which made a decided hit with’ them. few days later they asked their teacher to invite him back, but she refused, pleading that their time was needed for their regular school work. Another few days and thelr request was repeated, only to meet with the same refusal and the same excuse. Tt was almost a weck before the subject was again mentioned, and then the genius of the class aa it. “Say, Miss W——" he began, “don’t you feel like you would like to be yelled for again?’ JAZZ MUSIC NOT A NUISANCE Los Angeles County Judge Refuses to Give Relief to Disturbedy Nerves.
