He was to be sent to earth again to seek to redeem by good deeds a sinful life. “I don’t wanner go,” Curley objected. “They’d anly sen’ me to jail—.'"

NEWS OF THE THEATRES DIz “SHAM” AT THE ELKO TONIGHT AND SUNDAY A delicious satire on “gentle graft- ers,” people who neglect to pay their bills, is “Sham,” which is showing at the Elko theater tonight, also Sunday matinee and evening. It is a Para- mount picture, adapted from the El- mer Harris and Geraldine Bonner stage success of some years ago. Perhaps the most striking feature of the offering is the smooth and even quality of the acting. From the charming star, Ethel Clayton, down to the most inconspicuous ‘‘extra,” |y the cast is perfectly chosen. It is sel-| 3 est respect and hero worship to those ./ other just a little older boys who held the front-line trenches so herolcally while the younger lads ut home worked gallantly at selling Liberty l 'he Week End,” a comedy in two parts, will also be shown. “GO GET HIM” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY film such capable fun makers as Syl- via Ashton, Theodore Roberts and added Clyde Fillmore, Arthur Carewe, dom indeed that one finds in a single | Walter Hiers.

Now that the war is over It is most fitting that the same fine energy and devotion to the nation which was “Go Get Him,” the second William “Bill’ Fairbanks feature produced by the Western Feature Productions, Inc., is one of those big- human stor- jes. There is the great character of the Northwest Mounted Police, a man Helen Dunbar, Carrie Clark Ward and Eunice Burnham, all equally cap- able, the combinatior ic irresistible. The story is one of exceptional strength. It teiis of Katnerine Van Riper of high social vosition, many debts and no money. Shall she marry ~shown both by the Leglon and boy scouts should go on in other forms of service, and there is literally no Jimit to what the two organizations, working together, could accomplish by way of community and national ac- tivity. " Qur patriotic holidays, such as Memorlal day, Flag day, Fourth of July, Constitution day, Columbus day, | Armistice day, etc., all offer fine op- | portunities for the Legion to co-oper- | ate with their younger but no less| logal scout brothers in holding pa- | triotic meetings and making public re- dedlication to the service of our great country with its jdeals of liberty and Justice for all as well as ihe renewal of acknowledgment of the debt we all owe to those who gave their lives that the nation might win.its battle | for' the right. Americanization work—not only of foreigners but of our own people, in laying stress upon loyal service to the nation, the flag and all it stands for—also offers opportunity for co- operation, .Last year thousands of for- eign-born. men aud women were in- duced through scouts to enter citizen- ship classes in preparation for ob- taining naturallzation papers, and the Leglon could materially assist in car- 1ying out this important work on an even greater scale, using newspaper and other publicity. | -¢1t.is.dificult to suggest in a general | article specific ways by which the two organizations, working together, may accomplish worth-while results.

The . executive in charge will gladly offer suggestlons and, ideas As to’ the best and most practieal kinds of co-operative service and will place his groups of trained boys at the Leglon's call wherever possible. Readiness to help is a boy scout's chief charactevistic. 1f you haven't tested this fact out for yourself, try n.nnd see. what happens, Nothing | could make a scout happier or proud- er-than to help a member of the Le- glon, or a Leglon post, whether the good turn required is great or small. Finally, perhaps, the very biggest opportunity for service to the com- munity is the oppoSunity offered to the Legion to go in for active scout leadership. No oue Is better fitted than a veteran of the World war to become a scoutmaster or an instrue- | tor. TO MAKE SWIMMING SAFE. .“The old swimming hole” is all right it you know all about it, but every year many lives ure lost because peo- ple attempt to swim in uncharted lakes or rivers with dangerous holes, Out in Shelbyville, Ind,, a boy scout 5 Jost his. life in one of these treacher- ous gravel holes und the tragedy - awoke the public to the dangers in its .own midst. The Rotary club immedi- ately came to the front and enlisted the wllling co-operation of the boy seouts in charting and permanently ¥ fn'nrklng all the danger polnts in the vicinity of the town. The scouts made the signs aud the Rotarians sold them upder the slogan of “Buy a sign and _save a boy's life.” Wires as well as signs were placed over these treacher- k- 0us holes by the scouts and trash and - dumpage were also cleared out. | How about your town?

The story tells of a young politi- cal refugee who flees to Winnipeg to escape his enemies, and there, amid the snow-capped grandeur of the Can- adian Rockies, wins fame and happi- ness. Those who have read the novel know that the act moves along at a §w1ft pace from start to finish, and it is said that the picture is vastly more engrossing than the book. A really marvelous cast will seen, in which is Glass of “Humoresque” fame, Wil- ton Lackaye, Gladys Coburn, Brad- ley Barker, Bigelow Cooper, Jules Cowles, Ann Sutherland, and many others—an all-star cast if there cver ‘was one. “Alphalpha Love,” a snappy two- part comedy, completes the program. “SOMEONE MUST PAY"” AT THE REX THEATER TUESDAY Edmund Breese, one of the greai- est exponents of the modern dram<, will shortly make his appear.ac: on the sereen in Ivan Abrahamson’s ab- Pay,” which will be shown at the Rex theater Tuesday.

Elephants and whales are sald to surpass human beings in the weight of their brains, But, compared with the weight of the whole body, there are not many animals which can beat man—Iin fact, it may surprise the reader to know that there are auni- mals existing which rank ahead of hu- manity—taking, of course, the weight of the brain as against that of the whole body. Many kinds of monkeys, certain members of the squirrel family, and .a few of the mouse species, all being small animals, surpass man in brains— AMERICA IN THE STONE AGE When Columbus Came Few of Its In- habitants Knew the Use of Metals. Wken Columbus lunded at San Sal- vador, nearly all North America was in the Stone age. The Mexicans were using copper, and though they did not alloy it to make bronze, they treated the metal in a way to make it a fairly good cutting matervial. A few of the northern tribes of Indians either worked copper or traded for it. But —and thi$ in a continent richer than any other in easily found and smelted copper and iron. .

Indeed, it is said that the large braias do not always de- note great mental capacity, Many celebrated men' in the past have pos: d brains weighing less than the average 491 ounces of man- kind generally, A brain weighing over 60 ounces— said to have been the heaviest known s the possession of -4 man who uever earned wore than 40 shillings a week during the whole ol his lifetime!

How to Ship Flowers. When packing flowers for nevér send them in a cardbourd box; always in tin or wooden. Fill box, but be careful to avoid tlie slightest pressure on the blooms.
