i £ “WOLVES OF THE NORTH” (& AT THE GRAND TONIGHT Eva Novak, the beautiful girl wha ‘won her first conspicuous screen suc- .cesd in ‘‘Wanted at Headquarters,” will' be seen tomight only at the Grand theater fin her latest Univer- sal photodrama, ‘“Wolves of the North.” The story was written and direct- edi by Norman Dawn and produced in the far north with a splendid cast of popular players. As Aurora, a school teacher in a desolate Alaskan settlement, the girl finds herself equally sought by two men. | One of them is a big fellow with a reputation for ewil while the other is a stripling against whom the only indictment fis -weakness. The climax is perhaps the most dramatic that has ever been screened; but if there was no story, the picture would stand upon its own merits as a mag- nificent scenic record of the grandeur of the Arctic circle. Glaciers and snow slides, ice clad mountains and frozen rivers, wolf packs, malamutes, Arctic Indians and the aurora bore- alis are all touches which add to the atfnosphere of this story of the Alas- kan wilderness. ‘{Miss Novak was supported by Her- bert Heyes, Starke Patterson, Percy Chballenger, Barbara Tennant, Wil- lam Eagle-Eye, Clyde Tracy and Mil- Ke Impolito. \ Chapter § of “Double Adventure” will be included in the program.

BY STUART EDWARD WHITE “The Leopard Woman,” is J. Park- er Read, Jr.’s motion picture adap- tation of Stewart Edward White's famous story of the adventures of John ' Culbertson, scientist-explorer, and a strange, beautiful woman, that it places him in the part of a poor little orphan whom Fate has placed among in a slum atmosphere. The little fellow attracts the atten- tion: of Diane Frexel, society girl, played by Miss MacDonald, during one of her visits to the slums. She Some splendid comedy situations arise as a result of the fact that 13-year-cld Freckles falls ¥n love| with his beautiful protector.

Joe Beckett went out like a moth in a candle before Carpentier’ had- scarcely shaken off his dressing gown. Today, British fans mention Beckett’s name and grin.

The reason for the change is not clear, but the fact remains, ac- cording to returns from thousands of prospective buyers in all parts of the country, that the average man has available today for a first payment on a farm, approximately $1,000 more than he had during the earlier months of the year. Hundreds of thousands of ques- tionnaires are sent out by this agency every year to prospective buyers in all parts of the United States and Canada for the purpose of ascertain- ing the exact kind of farm they want and the amount of money they cre prepared to pay down in the first in- stance. Ever since last September these questionnaires have been show- ing a steadily smaller amount of available cash, and during the earlier part: of the summer thousands of them wgre returning showing 8500 or less as the maximum amount the would-be farm buyers had in hand for a first payment. A little more than a month ago, however, the aver- age “cash” item jumped upward and has been increasing steadily in size since that time. “Of course the demand continues overwhelmingly for the low-price, easy-payment farm because not less than three-quarters of it still comas from men who literally are being forced out of the cities and to the farms by the industrial depression and lack of employment,” said.Mr. Strout, “but even these buyers seem to have more money than they had a few months ago. During the latter part of 1920 and the early months of this year, buyers with $5,000 to $10,000 cash were comparatively searce. Our men searched the coun- try from end to end to find the equip- d farms that could be bought for $3.000, $1,000 or even $500 down. Our average sales fells even below made in a summer month, averaged many -hundred dollars higher than 2,500 sales made during the first six months of the year.” IS NOW ANXIOUS TO HELP OTHERS St. Paul Woman, Restored By Tanlac, Wants to Pass the Good Word Along “Others helped me by telling what Tanlac did for them, and now I want/| to help someone else by telling what | it has done for me,” said Miss Lillian thon, of 87 Bonfil avenue, St. Paul, inn. “Something over a year ago I be- gan to have trouble with my stomach. I was never hungry, and my diges- tion was so badly out of order that after every meal gas formed and kept me feeling miserable. At times I was taken with a swimming of the| head and would get so weak I thought I was going to faint. I couldn’t sleep at'iall hardly, and often I got up in the morning with a terrible headache that kept getting worse through the day till I could hardly stand it. “I decided to try Tanlac because so many people I knew were praising it. My appetite is now splendid and my digestion seems to be perfect. I can eat just anything and never have a bit of trouble from gas or any other symptom of indigestion. I have no more dizzy spells, headaches ~are things of the past, my sleep is sound and restful, that tired feeling is all gone and my work is no trouble to me at all. I feel good all the time, and my gratitude toward Tanlac is so $5,000 each, but the demand was so great that " during fxe first six months of the year has been far greater than ever before, Lack of employment and the high cost of living in the cities is great I am more than glad to pass the our volume of i good word along for the sake of oth-| asked the O erusiness o | well Indeed.” replied ‘the cruel man. | ers.” Tanlac, is _sold in.

Platts has lost| his punch, as was demonstrated the| other day when ex-welter champion, Johnny Basham, outpointed him over 20 rounds the night Frank Goddard gave an elephantine dance with George Cook, heavyweight champion of Australia. Two years ago Platts stuck out 18 rounds with Ted “Kid” Lewis, but too much credit must not be given to that performance. The two are great | pals, and I think Ted let him down lightly, and gave the Sheffield fans a treat—for the “Kid” can box, as well as fight’when he is in the mood. Lewis, of course, is an anomaly.

Beckett wasn’t born yesterday, however, and as Bloomfield and McCormick are both middleweights he is quite justi- fied in laughing off the challenges which are flung at him by these two boxers, _both of whom were trained in America. So much for Joe Beckett. : The Carpentier bubble has burst. London went quite off its head on the day of the fight. British people do not funnily enough take half the inter- est in boxing that people do over here. That will explain why they though the Frenchman to be a cross between a wizard, a hypnotist, an Apolo and a prizefighter. Dempsey, they knew little about and cared less. They imagined that Carpentier would get into the ring, bow, smile, remove his silk kimono, calmly punch Jack on the chin, and walk out of the roped square again—champion of the world. Now, of course, they are all They won’t let | EX-I'—ABORE‘R GETS | " ~'BANK POSITION ‘ Of special intdrest is the employ= | ment of Walter True by the Fa_rm- ers State -Bank, Ottertail, Minn. etl him up just by Ludgate circus for not sounding his horn. | The Kid grinned at him. “That’s all right,”, he told the cop, ‘“you come {along and ask for me at my hotel.
