GOOD_ ROADS AID APPEARANCE Farmstead Buildings on Improved Highways Found in Better Shape and Fences Kept Up. Have you ever compared the farm- stead on an improved highway with one on'a dirt rond? Why in the for- mer are the buildings in so much bet- ter ghape, the fences up and in a state of repair, the fields spick and span, the house grounds well kept and hedges trimmed, while in the latter the bulildings are unpainted? Strange as It may seem, the difference is caused by the road. Drs. Larson & Larson, Optometrists.

TIRES Yearly Cost to Owners of Cars lo Something Like $1,000,000,000 in Wear. A great deal has been sald and writ- ten, in discussing the roads and road building In the United States, about the wedr and tear of automobiles on the roads, but a brand-new element seems to have been brought in by the director’ of roads of the American Automobile assoclation, who suggests consideration of the wear and tear of the roads on automobiles. Automo- bile traffic now wears out something like 40,000,000 tires a year, costing au- tomobile owners something like $1,- 000,000,000; and on the roads as they now-axe, it can be argued, from data already accumulated, that the tractive $ resistance, otherwise wear and tear, varles from 20 pounds or less on one kind of road to 300 pounds or more on another. The consumption of gaso- line also is said to vary with the char- acter of the road on which an auto- mobile is traveling. The idea is sur- prising, but 1t seems not impossible that a constderable part of the cost of bullding a national system of roads that would produce the least possible wear and tear on automobiles would be balanced by the decreased expense for tires.

In “blind Youth,” a National picture which comes to the Grand theatre next Saturday and Sunday, one of the other kind, has the wife of the hero, Maurice Mon- nier, at her mercy. As the situation stood, the other kind of woman was married to the artist in his wild student days.

B Gt D |MAURICE TOURNEUR | LATEST PICTURE IS ‘MY LADY'S GARTER’ Jacques Futrelle’s Thrilling Mystery-Romance to Be Shown on Elko Screen Sun., Mon. and Tues. Does a Jove story, with an under- current of thrills and mystery in it, meet your idea of a corking good motion picture? Then you don’t want to miss Maurice Tourneur’s new picture, “My Lady's Garter,” which we’re showing on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Elko theatre. Perhaps you remember the story when it ran in the Saturday Evening Post. Or as a novel. Jacques Fut- relle, author of a number of mighty entertaining detective and adventure yarns, wrote it. And when we tell you “My Lady’s Garter” is a Tourneur production, you know what that means—spectac- ular scenes, true-to-life atmosphere, and a smashing climax. Wynham Standing, Sylvia Bream- er, and Holmes E. Herbert are in- cluded in the cast. It’s a Paramount-, Artcraft release. “Gee Whiz,” latest two-part Mack Sennett comedy, is also on the Elko program Sunday, Monday and Tues- day. A special attraction for Sun- day evening will be the delightful music rendered by the popular Elko orchestra. In the end—well, virtue has a way of triumphing finally. From the drawing rooms of Fifth avenue and the studios of Greenwich village to the ateliers of Paris and the garrets of Montmarte—so the characters of the story travel. “Blind Youth” was adapted from the stage suceess of the same name, written by Lou Tellegen and Wil- lard Mack. It was directed by Ted Sloman, and a highly capable cast, headed by Walter McGrail and Lea-| trice Joy, pertsayed the various roles. screen vemien was written by CAST OF UNUSUAL MERIT IN BASIL KING PHOTOPLAY Naomi Childers, Milton Sills and Lawson Butt in “The Street Called Straight” An all-star cast may be seen in Basil King's “The Street Called Straight,” an Eminent Authors pro- duction presented by Goldwyn at the Grand theatre, beginning next Tues- day. Directed by Wallace Worsley, this photoplay is acted with precise un- derstanding of the character values of each role. Charles Cleary does excellent work as Henry Guion, the oldest living representative of a New England family, who misuses funds entrusted to him in order to keep up appear- ances. Naomi Childers is seen as Olivia Guion, his stately, proud daughter, whose assured position in society makes her see life in terms of cynic- ism and boredom. From this.she is aroused by the generosity of Peter Davenant and his absolute indiffer- ence toward her. In realizing her own limitations, she learns to ap- preciate his possibilities. Milton Sills has the role of Peter Davenant, a chivalrous, good-looking young man who gladly advances his all to aid a friend in trouble. In direct contrast to Davenant is Colonel Rupert Ashley, played superbly by Lawson Butt. He seems to be conse- crated to the idea of being worthy of his ancestors. Irene Rich’s magnetic personality and charming presence add distinc- tion to the part of Drusilla Fane, an attractive widow. Alec Francis is al- ways good. His work as Rodney Temple is._just another example of his consummate skill on the screen. Lydia Yeamans Titus gives a splen- did impersonation of Aunt Vic, Mme. De Melcourt, and Jane Sterling as Mrs. Temple completes an excellent cast.
