His grandfa- ther controlled extensive lumber ‘in- i terests in the Dominion. The months ich .young Allan spent in the lum- r camps, living thé rought life of the great out-of-doors, made him formidable football material when he entered Notre Dame a.few years.lat- er.- .

PLEASING PHOTOPLAY “Jenny Be Good” the principal feature photodrama at Grand the- atre tonight _deserves to be classed with the best screen subject of the year.

Miss Minter, as Jenny deserve! praise. Her pictures in the past year show how the art of this young ac- tress is maturing. The supporting cast gives a creditable account of itself. William Desmond Taylor’s di- rectorial touches embellish the story and give jt much charm. The photo- play is exceptionally pleasing. Other numbers on the bill are “Petticoats and Pants” a special two part Christie comedy. ' The entertain- ment i8 a sure fire success and can be classed as worthwhile. MORE THAN FICTION The story of '“Silk Husbands and Calico Wives,” written by Monte M. Katterjohn, and made into a special feature which will again be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Tues- day, is more than fiction. It§ sub ject ‘matter is based on truths and facts of everyday ‘life and gleaned from experience. . ‘*Silk Husbands and Calico Wives” is a thoroughly and intensely modern story. - It is a tale involving.

But in making this average, the states outside the Mid- dle West (including the states of the east, with their congested city traffic) showed but one car for every 19 persons. ‘ The states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)such as Kansas, show- ing one automobile for every 8.9 persons; Iowa with a car for every 7.8 persons, or ~ South Dakota, with a machine for every 8.3 persons—raised the national average. The people of the Middle West—pre- eminently the farming section of the nation —own about one-half the motor cars of the country. The major portion—almost 65% of these Middle Western cars are farmer-owned. Investigation has further proved that over 75% of the Middle West- ern farmers bought their cars, not for pleasure, but for busmees Gasoline-power is the new hired hand on the farm. To maintain the continuous operation of this power is one of the lead- ing services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). ‘To increase the nation’s foad-supply, the farmer must depend upon his gasoline supply. Some- one must continually anticipate production diffi- culties, overcome transportation delays, so that his tractor and his truck and his car may operate whenever the plowing, cultivating, seeding, har- ‘v:nmz, housing or marketing of his crops must i It was to insure dependability in supply of petroleum products to the consumer as well as to lower their prices, that the Standard Oil Com- -pany (Indiana) built up its “cycle of service”, carrying its products from the refinery direct to the consumer. -All savings effected through this efficiency in organization are passed on by the Standard Qil Company (Indiana) to the consum- ers of its products, Standard Oll Company 910 So.
