; t § . NEWS STEWART'S COWBOYS AT REX. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY So confident is Roy Stewart, the mnew western star that his cowboys at Hartville can outride dnd out-rope any other bunch of “punchers” in the motion picture business, that he has jssued a sweeping challenge for his boys to meet all comers in a rodeo. If the challenge is accepted, it is Stewart’s plan to hold the rodeo as a Salvation Anmy benefit and put on a show which will give the tourists anj idea of what the west really was ‘before being tamed. “On the great ranch at Hartville, the boys who can ride anything with legs,” declares Stewart. “Three of them have wrested honors from the greatest punchers in the country in open competition and they don’t make horses bad enough to stop them.” “CUSTER’S LAST STAND” AT REX LAST TIME TONIGHT The finest motion picture of the year and one of the niost artistic and fascinating contributions ever made to the screen is ‘“Bob Hampton of Placer.” produced and directed by ‘Marshall Neflan, which was shown to a capacity house at the Rex theater last night. The production is adapted from the Randall Parrish story of the same name. It nof only tells a delight- fful story of love and adventure, but 3lso immortalizes on the screen one of the most plcturesque chapters of American history. fThe undying fame which General Custer won in his last stand against the Sioux Tribes under Sitting Bull is given a new luster in this screen version, which reproduces the Battle of the Little Big Horn. And through it all runs an absorb- ing plot, interpreted by an exception- al cast: James Kirkwood plays the title role, and Marjorie Daw has the teminine lead. Pat O'Malley has the part of a gallant and lovelorn ofticer of Custer's staff. And the simple and; be-freckled countenance of Master Wesley Barry shine thru this ex- ceptional First National attraction. The production was photographed among the scenic grandeurs of Gla- cier National Park and on the actual scenes of General Custer’s gallant fight against the Indians. i “BARE KNUCKLES” AT REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY Willlam Russell will come to the Rex theater next Thursday and Fri- day in ‘iBare Knuckles,” his latest vehicle made for William Fox--—- which is eaid to be a typical Fox en- tertainment. The story, is by A. Channing Ed- ington, and ‘taken from his novel «Brute McGuire.” Mr. Russell has the part of “Brute”, who bosses the hard rock construction men with his pare fists-—a role wellsuited to the star's rugged personality. by Mary Thurman, a beautiful Titan haired leading woman, who has been seen with Russell before, plays op- posite him, and James Patrick Ho- gan, who believes in realism, directed the ipicture; so that Russell has a combination that is said to provide him with a stirring drama of the west with several new angles. The scenes of ‘Bare Knuckles” are laid in the Slerra Mountains, and some of them were taken during a Dlizzard, with the result that Director \Hogan, has obtained some of the best mountain storm scenes ever filmed. Thd company spent four days in a raging blizzard and went through many hardships. But they obtained results that show realistically lite in the Western construction camps. Supporting TRussell are Correan Kirkham, George Fisher, Edwin Booth Tilton,, Charles Gorman, Jack Rosleigh, Charles Stevens, John Cook and Joe Les, all players of talent and reputation. “BOYS WILL BE BOYS” AT GRAND TUESDAY When a couple of humorists like Irvin S. Cobb and Will Rogers com- bine in the making of a motion pic- ture, as is the case with “Boys Will Be Boys,” produced by Goldwyn, Which comes to the Grand theater for two days commencing Tuesday, a bunch of personal jokes is bound to result. Rogers has one on Cobb which he says he spent quite a while in dig- ging up. It seems that during a lec- ture tour, Cobb. was introduced at great, length and with many flour- jshes by the local chairman of the meeting. Finally the provincial ora- tory was ended with: . “I wish to introduce you to Irvin S. Cobb, the well known humorist and writer.” At this a tall, lanky figure unfolded jtself wearily from a front row seat, while a voice remarked disgustedly, “Qh, gosh! I thought it was Ty!” MARION DAVIES HAS STRONG STORY IN “BURIED TREASURE" The story of reincarnation forms the basis of “Burled Treasure” the new Marion Davies picture which will be shown at'tine Elko theater tonight and tomorrow. William Van- dermuellen, a Wall Street capitalist, wishing to breakj up his daughter’s infatuation for a poor man, Dr. Grant, and to arrange a wedding with a duke, plans a long yachting cruise 'with the duke as the chief guest. Because of Pauline’s habit in going into tfances, -Mrs. Vander- muellen insists that a physiclan ac- company them, and, by a ruse, Dr. \Grant is: brought along. Qn the yacht Pauline goes into a trance and appears to be in possession of a note from one John Dawson to one Lucia, giving directions to go to the island of /Santa Catalina. Her father, lieving he will find, treasure buried on the island, orders the captain to sail there. A thrilling Spanish story is then unfolded. ., | be~ OF THE THEATRES i “THE DOLLAR A YEAR MAN” ONE OF “FATTY’S BEST Roscoe ‘‘Fatty” Arbuckle put his ipersonal stamp of approval on his latest Paramount starring vehice, “The Dollar a Year Man,” which will be shown at, the Elko theater next Wednesday and Thursday, when asked what he thought of the story. “l believe this is the best story|, that has been ‘given: me since 1 be- came a Paramount star,” was the comedian’s reply. “It contains many opporgunities for funny business and 1 believe T can make the character, the dollar-avyear man a general fav- orite. ’Phe story is a corker and suits me. “Ifind real pleasure in por- traying it on the screen.” James Cruze directed, Lila Lee is leading woman and Winifred Green- wood, J. M. Dumont Edward Suther- land, Edwin Stevens, Henry Johnson, and other favorites are in the cast. SOCIETY AND UNDERWORLD INTRIGUE IN THRILLER Powerful, thrilling and, in the same breath, tender, exquisite, can truth- fully be said of “The Money- Chang- ers,” which is showing for the last time at the Grand tonight. It is Ben- jamin B. Hampton’s newest, and we think, his greatest. production. He and Upton Sinclair wrote the story around: a theme contained in Mr. Sinclair’s novel of the same name. The picture commands interest at the very start, quickly plunging.into the story, which introduces charac- ters in New York’s high society and than shifts to Chinatown. To expose the drug gang is the ambition of an alert young news- vaper reporter, whose articles have caused a falling off in sales and thrown fear into the ring’s leaders. The action leads fast and furiously up to a climax that for thrills and suspense sets your blood pounding and your nerves throbbing. It stirs your emotions to fever heat. “The Money-Changers” also is not three and, uniquely, the one of the ring leader’s playthings is the most exquisite and tender of the three. The cast leaves nothing to be de- sired, splendid performances being rendered by Robert McKim, Roy Stewart, Claire Adams, Audrey Chap- man, George Webb, Edward Peil} and many others. The direction reflects great credit on Jack Conway. “BLUE SUNDAY”1S: NOVEL COMEDY Qut of the ordinary, entirely dif- ferent from anything ever before pro- duced, “Blue Sunday,” which is showing for the last ti the Grand theater, mad¢ a distinct hit with the Sunday patrons. aFr- fetched it is true, but'a good remind- er of what might happen if all the blue laws were in effect. First Nunnery Féunded In France.

A LA DUTY IMPELS HER" T0 STATE FACTS Health Restored at 62, St. Paul Woman Wants Others to Know Tanlac Did the Work “I know Tanlac is a real medicine, for it hag restored my health and I hav{e gained thirteen pounds in weight besides,” said Mrs. John Haukchild, 454 Bidwell street, St. Paul, Minn. i 1 “For the past five years I had been a constant sufferer from stomach trouble and I had gotten into such a run-down condition I could hardly get around. . T was troubled a great dca[ with nausea and sour gas, and at times could retain scarcely a thing in my stomach. My nerves kept me restless and irritable all the time, my sleep was never sound or restful and when morning came I felt that I hardly had the strength to get out of bed. All day long I felt weak and draggy and the least exertion would tire_me out. “When I started taking Tanlac I had little idea it would help me, but right away I began to eat better and sleep - better and before long could see that it was building me up in every way. I continued to improve until now all my troubles have gone and I feel better than I have in ma years. I can eat just whatevcrm{ care to and digest it perfectly. My nerves are steady and I sleep soundly every night. I am sixty-two years old, but I seem to have unusual strength and energy for a person of my age. ‘Tanlac has certainly been a blessing to me and I feel that I would not be doing my duty if I didn’t tell the people about this medicine.” e tonight at| | I Tanlac-is sold in Bemidji by ‘the| City Drug store and leading druggists.

DIRT HIGHWAYS ARE EASIEST Unpaved Country Roads CauseLeast Wear on Tires, While Slag Is’ Most Destructive. The much maligned dirt road finds a champlen in a Denver tire manufac- turer, who asserts that exhaustive tests show that the unpaved country road causes the least tire wear. But the road must be in good condition, with no ruts to wear against the side walls of the tire. ‘When properly dragged, the unpaved country road is found to generate less heat in the tire than any other type of road. Slag roads were found to be most destructive to tires, the sharp points soon pltting the tread with my holes. With the test car's wheels a fraction of an inch out of alignment, the tires looked as if their tread had been sand- papered after only a few hours’ travel. Asphalt pavement was found to de- velop much heat,. but little external wear, Macadam roads in good condi- tion were found to be better than sldg. ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS Means Release to Farmer and City Man From Bondage of Rail- road Discomforts. To both city man and farmer the good road means release from bond- age—bondage to electric, steam car schedules and discomforts—bondage to distance—bondage to time. Coun- tles and states where good, roads have become a steady part of a progressive program of legislation have seen val- ues shoot up ‘in most surprising fash- ifon, and this again has brought home the fact that good roads pay for them- selves. DEMAND FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS Nothing So Vital to ' Transportation §lyltlm and Future of Automo- tive Power. £ “Let's ‘Preach It, Teach It and De-| mand Good Roads,” says Orville D. Copplock, sales manager of the Com- merce Motor Car company, Detroit. “Nothing is so vital to the transpor- tation system of our country, and the future of the automotive industry as | trymen and doubtless. accepted by DREW ON HIS IMAGINATIUR ‘To Put It Mildly, Longfellow was Not Always Accurate in His De- scriptive Poems. The poet Longfellow has set an ex- ample of inaccuracy In dealing with our Pligrim ancestors which has been widely followed. ‘His charming poemy “The Courtship of Myles Standish,™ has been read by millions of his coun- great numbers as gospel truth. Yet| it has no historical basis, says a writ- er in the' Bostop Transcript.

It seems too bad that | so brave and unselfish a man as Stan- | dish was should now be paraded be- fore his descendants as a rejected suitor. He and they deserve a better fate. The poet is no more accurate in dealing with him than he is in de- scribing the marriage of John Alden and Priscilla, What a pretty bit of fiction it was to place Priscilla on a “milk-white steer,” when there was not a cow, nor & steer, in all New “England! STOPPFD ANGRY WIFE’S TEARS Woman’s Emulation of the “Cinderella Aét” Probably Averted Dire . Domestic Tragedy. Mrs. G. started for the shoe repalr ishop the other day. with a slipper that needed’ mending.; Once.in:the street she embered, an _important mes- sage and stopped 'to felephone in a little office“on’ the ground.floor of the building in which she livés. The pro- prietor showed her the instrument in the rear. ' Just then the proprietor’s wife en- tered the office, and first of all she saw Mrs. G.’s slipper lying on a table. “So you even have her shoes here!” she cried and began to weep. Her tears _quickly turned to anger, ‘and in a moment she began to upbraid her husband. Then Mrs. G: interfereq. “That’s mine,” she said, appearing | from behind the screen. i The angry. wife looked at- her dur- ing a pause in her heated language. “I don't believe it,” she snapped. “pll show you,” said Mrs.-G.,.and, like Cinderella, though the prince was missing, she -tried on ' the slipper.— Nely York Sun. 1 ’ What Is Art?

The mines of Humboldt county, Ne- vada, have produced every kind of opal known to science. - The great black opal found there some years ago whas the largest ever discovered, weigh-, ing 16.19 troy ounces, or, in jewelry phraseology, 2,565 karats. It is neariy 4 inches fong, 3 1-8 inches wide and | averages 2 1-8 Inches in thickness. It is, in short, about half the: size of an ordinary brick. At $6 a karat its value would be more thani §15,000, but its great size increases the value to the point where it is worth rwhatever a gem fancier will’pay for it. The highest rating ever obtained for an opal was that for a gem from Hun- gary, which was estimated: to be worth $250,000. On the same basis of rating the Nevada gem would be worth as much. : % —— * Had Peculiar Idea of Tree.
