Mr. Lyman V. Rutledge says that the Boston Globe “in summarizing the first ten months of prohibition, indicates that drunk cases in the courts have decreased 75 per cent, It also appears that arrests of all kinds have been reduced 50 per cent. This gives a broader meaning to the fact that there are- 3,070 empty ‘cells in our various county jails and only 805 occupied, Probation may empty cells, but prohibition keeps them empty. An fllustration of this is found in some: typical cases well known to officials of the Deer Island house of correction and the Bridgewster State farm where, before the days of prohibition; certain men. served sentence after sentence for drunkenness.

In 1919 North Dakots farm Jands were taxed at 70.36 per cent of the total valuation and paid $2,633,304. All other gemeral property was taxed in 1916 at 45.43 per cent and paid in taxes $678.3562. In 1919 other general property was taxed at 29.64 per cent and paid in taxes $1,109,311, Notwithstanding that the government of North Dakota during those years professedly was by the farmers, of the farmers and for the farmers, under Mr. Townley's guidance, the farmers seem to have placed on themselves a heavy burden by way of increased taxation of $1,818,476. If all this in- creased burden had been the means of reducing taxes on other property accordingly there might have been a different story to tell, but statistics show that other property was likewise increased in taxation to the tune of $430,959. Why did the farmers of North Dakota place such a large increase in taxation on themselves and so small a one on general property which covers such items as railways, telegraphs, town and city Jots, street railways and personal property? In fact did the farmers have much to say about it? We think not. We are inclined to believe Mr. Townley and his officers did most of the apportion- ing of the taxes, and the farmers had very little to say in return for their $16.00. Do the Minnesota farmers expect to have the chance to say much more about it than their west- ern neighbors, should Mr. Townley succeed in hav- ing a doormat placed at the capitol in St. Paul specially for his use after Novembey?

It was directed by the master hand of Ralph Ince and typifies carefully and accurately the life of those quaint, care-free beings who live along' the ragged coast of the Atlantic—a true and carefully drawn picture of people who are a bit strange to the screen. It’s a different sort of picture—and it’s good. “‘Out Yonder,” in conjunction with Larry Semon as “The Grocery Clerk,” Olive Thomas in a new Selznick| picture, “Out Yonder,” is again the main attraction at the Elko tonight, and, for real entertainment value, it excels anything this charming lit- IN “SPIRIT OF GOOD” program of exceptional balance. ‘“What a story for Madlaine Trav- erse!” said Denison Clift, Willlam scenario writer, when he read “The Spirit of Good.” What attracted him was the glamor of the Western dance hall and the New York Revue stage, and the mov- ing story of love and revenge that Enthusiastic, he set to work at once on the scenario, and within a few. days Paul Cazen-; DOROTHY DALTON COMING Avery Hopwood’s successful stage play, “This Woman—This Man,” serves as the basis for Dorothy Dal- ton’s latest picture, “Guilty of Love,” which will be shown at the Elko the- atre Wednesday and Thursday.

The Grand theatre will show ‘it for three days commencing Sunday next. As Black Deering, the hero, Mr. Hart has the role.of ‘the lealler of a bandit band who is betrayed by ome of his own men. He dashés away from his captors and, losing the sher- iff’s posse after a seriesi.of thrilling episodes, he comes upon: the lonely cabin where the wife of his betray- er lives.

But he went right to the mat with the subject. Say, if I could have shorthanded that line of super- stuff I'd have the job writing Camel ads by noon today! “Reynolds ought to get a dollar for every Camel cigarette”, Mr. Holt declared. “Why, my boy, Camels are simply wonderful,” he added. “Don’t ever let anybody talk about mild ciga- rettes compared with Camels! I know! (Get that, Pete). I've proved it to a hundred smokers that Camels are the mellowest and most refresh- ing cigarette in the world,” etc., etc. Pete, Camels won Mr. Holt like they won me —on their quality!
