P. Putnam’s Sons, publishers of Max Brand’s novel, “The Untamed.” A wonderful picture, made from a won- derful story, with the daredevil Fox screen star Tom Mix in the role of v histling Dan, is promised in the fhe forthcoming offering at the Rex theatre which begins next Sunday. “The Untamed’ 'is a sirange romance of three inseparable comrades of the love that came to the man, and the union of three companions in wreck- ing a fearful vengeance. The pic- ture is said to be the most appealing Mix has made. G. E. CARSON, President G..W.

OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS P————— SAVERS AND SPENDERS. Can you recall the little incident of your young dayg? Perhaps you remember some child who was “close” with his pennies, who put them in his bank and kept them there. That child, even in its tender years, was imbued with the habit of saving, was cultivating the budding idea of thrift. If you can locate that child today you will probably find a man who has made a commercial success of life, who is finan- cially at ease, even if not wealthy. , The child: who saves his pennies in time becomes the man who accumulates his dollars. But the one who spends his pennies as fast as he gets them generally finds that in after years the habit has fastened itself upon him to such an extent that his life becomes one of endless spending—always earning money but never having a surplus dollar. ' The greatest financjal injury you can do your child is to éncourage it to go out and spend its few cents. It marks the beginning of a bad ending. . For it is easier for the leopard to change its spots than for the spender to be anything but what he is. e AR ’ THINK IN TIME. A word of caution even to the wisest is not amiss at times.

POLICE STORY Ralph Ince, a former stage and screen star and more recently known tor his excellent work as a photoplay director, has the leading male role in the big National Picture, “Out of the Snows,” which is to be seen at the Grand theatre next Monday and Tues- day. This production marks the re- turn of Ralph Ince to an old-time po- sition that of actor and director sim- ultaneously. “Out of the Snows” is a stv{ry of the great Northwest written by E., Lord Corbett and purchased especial- ly for the use of Mr. Ince. Practically every scene in the pro- duction is laid in the Northwest and every scene in the pictured version — | VIVID GRIFFITH DRAMA HAS MANY SENSATIONS “The Mother and the Law” a D. W. Griffith production of thrills and sen- sations, is announced as‘the special attraction at the Elko theatre tomor- row, also on Monday and Tuesday. Playgoers who are familiar with (Mr. Griffith’s earlier triumphs, ‘‘Hearts of the World,” “The Fall of Babylon,” etc., willGe espepially in- terested in this production, wherein the genius of Griffith is again re- vealed. True, in “The Mother and the Law,” Mr. Griffith has gotten away from the smoke of battle and the scenes of combat that were-s0 remarkably depicted in “The Birth of a Nation” and earlier works, but the new and tremendous domestic{ drama that he has brought into being will undoubtedly prove one of the most notable contributions to the sereen. Thruout this™ Griffith super-pic- ture there is a series of incidents wherein circumstantial evidence al- most wrecks the lives of simple people whose intentions and motives have been of the best, but when seen thru the eye of superstition and jealousy are so twisted .and distorted as to make them appear of .the worst pos- sible character. 1In the big climax of the play, called by many crities “a dramatic thunderbolt,” a young his- band and father is at the very thresh- oid of an untimely and unwarranted end merely thru a chain of circum- stance over which he had no control. He is saved from paying the extreme penalty of the law for a crime he did not commit solely thru the love and faith of a heroic womah and the tri- umph of truth and fact over circum- stance. The cast for “The Mother and the Law"” is thoroughly representative of a Griffith company. The principal players include Mae Marsh, Robert Harron, Miriam Cooper, ‘Ralph Lewis. ‘Walter Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret Marsh, Ted rowning., and others whose names are familiar to those who patronize the higher form of motion pictures. In line with.his established policy of providing special music for all of his productions, Mr. Griffith has fur- nished an elaborate score which will be played by the Elko orchestra Sun- day evening and by ‘Mrs. Riggs at the piano other evenings of the engage-| ment. been employed to try and fill gaps VOTERS LEAGUE T0 GIVE dailies and an official of one of Mont- real’s when asked concerning a recent ad for bank clerks appearing. “help wanted” columns admitted a serious shortage in bank help; despite leading financial istitutions in the the fact that hundreds of girls have left open by men seeking other em- ployment, i The official questioned said that while men -in business for themseives had made enormous profits and sal- aried employees had ' received in- creases, the advances did not offset the increased costs of living with the result that many men left banks to go into other lines.

BEBE DANIELS AT THE GRAND TONIGHT-SUNDAY Bebe Daniels of the pouting mouth and provocative black eyes; makes her debut as a Realart star at the Grand theatre tonight and Saturday in “You Never Can Tell.” Miss Daniel’s clever work in films as leading woman in such plays as “Why Change Your Wife?”” “The Fourteenth Man,” Si \-Bed” and “The Dancin’ Fool,” had shown her comedy talent, and this talent she displayed most amusingly in the present production, which is an adaptation of two of Grace Lovell Bryan's famous “Ro- wena' stories which have appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. As the discontented and ambitious little check-room girl ih a smart New York Hotel, Rowena Patricia Jones develops a ‘passiomr for beautiful clothes and a violent rage, at the malign destiny which has given lux- ury to some unattractive women and poverty to her. In desperation she ue- cides to do a little vamping on the side and see if she can not repair the badly ravaged fortunes of her family, which has recently been dis- possessed from its humble tenement home. ‘The career of the amateur vamp threatens to turn into grim tragedy several itimes, but a real love affair with a wholesome and likeable chap saves the little adventurer before it is too late. This role is well carriea by Jack Mulhall, and others of a well chosen cast are Neely Edwards, Edward Martindale, tHelen Dunbar, Mrs. Harry Davenport, and that most amusing of all “puppy lovers,’ Har- old Goodwin, who is a wistful tene- ment boy, in love with the fiery little heroine. 1f this is a fair sample of the “good little bad girl” role in which Real- art plans to feature the beautiful Miss Daniels, they have mapped out a future of great promise for the young comedienne, and one which will add to her popularity. Fatty Arbuckle will also be seen in “A Reckless Romeo.” = OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR More old-fashioned American sweat will mean less bolshevism and an early funeral for Mr. High Cost of Living.—Baltimore American. o—— - Another Irish mayor has been lodged in jail and he is contemplating following the exa.mplc of MacSwiney and go on a protracted fast.

I have tried to get in touch personally with Johnny Wilson and have sent representatives to him only to have them told that he is not ready to talk business, 1 had Benny Leonard and Eddie Fitzsimmons matched and the bout was called off. Pete Herman has been very slow imn agreeing to] meet the winner of the elimination | series that ig being conducted amongz the bantams.” Rickard, however, plans to force them into the ring. He has two plans in mind—one thru the provision of the Walker Bill and the other by taking the radical stand that they arc no Jonger champions and offering a club belt of his own to the winner of an eliminatipn series among the contenders. . The Walker Bill is very clear- on this subject. “Any boxer winning a champion- ship under the International Rules must defend his title in a bona fide bout to a decision against the best available contender within a period of six months from the time of win- ning his title and thereafter every gix manths if a qualified challenger appears, unless he is prevented by circumstances beyond his control, in which case the time may be extended by the board of boxing control,” the sgetion reads. . Rickards has already offered a belt to the winner of the return engage- ment between Jack Sharkey and Joe Lynch, who fought a furious fifteen- round draw recently and are match- ed to meet again on November 5th in Madison Square garden. Rickards also promises to make some interesting disclosures about the weight of several champions who are in a class heavier thgn their titles. ‘While some excellent bouts have been staged under the New York laws and while there is little doubt that the future will see many just as good. it is a fact that the cham- pions will have to be coaxed a great deal to step into a ring with their crown at stake oh a decision since they can go across -the rived in New Jersey and fight a twelve-round no-decision fight and get almost as much money, “BANK CLERKS WANTED"” I N CANADIAN DAILIES (By United Press) Montreal, Que., Oct 16.—*“Bank clerks wanted” advertisements haye been appearing recently in Canadian makes it impossible to so limit the time of employment; I am. in favor of asking the state to take such steps as are necessary td form a state park on the banks of Lake Bemidji; and will endeavor to secure necded ap- propriations for the continuance. of the . excellent work being done by the State Normal school.
