How does he know? he urica .vin his phwtoplay, “Alarm Clock Andy,” which will return to the screen at the Elko theater tomorrow, Wednesday, only. As ‘a would-be live-wire salesman for an auto concern, Charlie’s tongue gets "so twisted Then he talks to a prospect that it aimost takes a Hou- dini to get.it untied. He’s pretty well discouraged but he fortifies himself with “Do It Now” mottoes and books on “How to Get Ahead” and tries his best to talk like a regular fellow. Only when a pretty girl comes along and accident hrings ‘him into the path of a big business man who takes an in- terest in him does Charlie really “get there.” It’s a heart-winning comedy in Mr. Ray’s best style.

A" week for patriotic education largely, but at the same time, a week in which every one ought to make an effort to haye the children’ see that an education’is an_absolute necessity, for the future ¢itizen, y W + The Junior department of our local high -schqol, through its variouns sub- Jjects .or departments made an effort to touch on this subject by. intro- ducing the patriotic element into the regular school work for the last few days. Miss Backus conducted several class programs including patriotic recitationg, the study of the flag, flag ‘egulations and“>made an effort to have the classes memorize the words, of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Miss Hoag, through thé grammar depart- ment, laid stress on correct speaking as the first step Lo good ¢itizenship by ‘means of discussions and drills. The classes made posters illustrating common errors and their corrections. Miss Loretta Slatterly evdeavored to show good citizenship by the study of the livés of men and women who | hav«; served their country well. The | pupils'gave threesmninute talks on the topics ‘asgigned. Miss Sehlerman took up thé cost of ah-education and Miss Blomberg showed: the; value of an education in ggrgnt? by compar- ing the sglaries ¢f tHose having an education and those having nonme. Mrs. Loufburrow’s geography classes took up the study of-cducation in different countries comparing their systems with our own. Miss Dodgels classes studied the historical setting for several of our ‘patriotic songs. In the Lincoln building, Miss Nellie Slatterly, Miss Bolger and Miss Pelto carried out the same line of work in the classes under departmental super-- vision. Throughout the whole depart- ment, a live intevest in this work was manifested and it was well worth |" the effort put forth by the instructors. Education week was brought to a close with a program given in the auditorium of the Methodist church during the first period of the Friday afternoon session. ‘“‘America” and “The Star Spangled Banner” were sung, accogpanied by the high school orchestra, Miss Fibi- gar divecting. A selection was then played by the orchestra, followed by several selections sung by the High School Boys’ .Glee club. .Rev. Warford closed the program with a talk, choosing as his topic, “The Value of an Education.” He put bgfom the minds of the boys and girls, in a language which was clear to 1 them, the real value of an educatiofi.
