AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT | In “Ghosts of Yesterday,” the| Selanick picture which comes to the Elko theater tonight, and Tuesday matinee and evening, so skillfully are the players cast that they bring to breathing life the various char- acters in the play of Rupert Hughes , from: which this picture was made. As the gentle wife of the strug- gling artist and later as the reck-| less dancer of the cabarets, Norma Talmadge has the greatest oppor-i tunity of her career to display her| marvellous dexterity in the portray. al of cmotional characterization. | Playing. opposite Miss Talmadge is Eugene O'Brien who since the mak- ing of this picture has been voted the most popular male star of the screen. Stuart Holmes, who is exclusively associated with villain’s roles in the mind of the screen fans. is a consist- ently wicked rogue, pursuing the he- roine until he is sent to a well-earned fatal end.

There are many new ones this year made of coarse canvas, or unbleached linen and trimmed with narrow satin ribbon and ribbon flowers. Baby ribbon may be drawn through the interstices of | the canvas. Drawing ‘threads out of cither the canvas or linen makes it possible to weave wider ribbons over ideas, with one foot in the grave and the other hitched ta the mad merry- go-round of pleasure. That grande dame without rival, Ida’ Darling, plays the part of Mrs. Whitakey, the dignified. housckeeper, who. follows faithfully the fortunes of her husband’s young master. Two other well known players in the cast are Henry J. Hebert and Blanche Douglas.

TO LEGION CONVENTION (By United Press) Paris, Dec. 19.—In a message to the Inter-Allied Veterans Federation, which opened its second annual con- ference here Saturday, Hanford Mac- Nider, national commander of the American Legion, declared the feder- ation “will be a stronger factor to- ward the prevention of future war than any limitation of armaments conference or any international agreements.” The federation is a union of veter- ans’ societies which are made up of navies of seven of the Allied coun- tries during the World war. Dele- gates are present from the United States, the British Empire, including | overseas dominions, France Belgium, | Italy, Rumania and Czecho-Slovakia. The American member of the federa- tion is the American Legion. Commander MacNider's, . message was presented by William B. Follett, of Eugene, Oregon, former natic..1 commander of the Legion, and chair-! man of the American delegation of five. Follett also extended an.invita- tion on behalf of the American Le- gion to the federation to hold its next world meeting in New Orleans in October, 1922, in connection with the fourth national convention of the Amecrican Legion. Commander Mae- Nider’s mnessage follaws: “The American Legion sends you! greetings with the earnest hope that this meeting and the year ahead may. be filled with great achicvements for the cause of all ex-service men, for the countr for which we fought for the civilized world. “Qur union: is sealed. and the strength of 'our friendship and com- radeship is a guarantee to the world of happier days and a future preg- nant with opportunities to bind even closer the strongest ties men can have-—those of serving side by side in battle against the foes of civillza-| tion. ' “It is our belief that the time, is!| nearly ripe for concerted action to- ward the great ends to which we are pledged in spirit. The Inter-Allied Veterans [Federation composed of men who know what war means and who, with open eyes and vivid mem- ories of those experiences which only can be gained upon the field of bat-| tle, will be a stronger factor toward the prevention of future war than any | limitation of armaments conference or any international agreements. “We pledge to you—in memory of our comrades who did not come back, and with constant thought of those who, blind, maimed and ‘broken, must live the war forever—that the people of the world shall have the opportu- nity to say that such things must nev- er come again. “We must build up our legions so big and fine and strong, and tic them into our national existences by such firm bonds: of service, that our great, nations will stand behind the men who offered their lives for the defense | of liberty. That-is our first task. “QOur next task stands clearly-be- fore us, and for this great service to| humanity, we piedge ourselves to you' —our comrades of yesterday, today! and tomorrow.” Had to Be Masters of Craft, Carved and hand-made chests, side- | boards, ‘tables, chairy and other an-' tiques are rightly valued by people of discriminating taste. .

This work then was passed upon by jurors, and if the verdiet was “imperfect,” it was burned hetore the door' of the maker and he was forbidden to make furniture for sale until he had redeemed himself with an acceptable piece.

Our friend the barber bears a trade ! name,' or a name of occupation which is related to barbed-wire, barbarian, ! Barbary coast and Barbados. It is also related to “barbet” which was an old name for a poodle dog, and it is also related to “barbette,” over which big guns are fired. It is one of the curiosi: ties of our language. Some of these words have come into .ihe English language from the French and others from the Spanish, but they all go back to the Latin word, “barb: which meant “beard.” The French got the word from their Roman conquerors And civilizers and made it over into “harbe” and when a man shaved him- self he “barbed” himself, or as per- haps we would put it today he “dis-| barbed” or “de-barbed” himself ‘The Trench made a. noun to fit the fellow | who took the beard or barbe off an-| other fellow and they called him a | “barbier,” and If it had been’ the cus tom for ladies to barber a man they | would have called her a “barbiere,” with a grave accent over the first “e.” | The Norman conquerors of England took over the word with them and finally our Anglo. on, Norse-Celtie, Norse-French, ete., ancestors shortened “harbier” to barber.—Pittsburgh Dis «c««'af«_;cq«i«««cqq x CLEARBROOK x| "*‘.*&(.l?i}liifi#cfilfit in~ Jacobsom, - the substitute _carrier on route No. 2 is now haul- ing mail, as hi father, the regulnr mait earrier, i§ takimg b annual vacation of iift .
