The Nonpartisan Leader Co. he stated is a co-partnership between A. J. Fox and Ed Wood, a son of F. B. Wood. No one else, he stated, has any interest in it. This co-partner- longs to .the same “layout,” and he disclaime dany interest in it.

Critics who have seen the picture at private showings in the Essanay stu- dios declare Little Mary has done the ‘best work of her career in “Young Mother Hubbard.” | The child caught the spirit of her part perfectly, and carried out her role so well that she seems really to. be an-abandoned or- phan, the character she plays. The picture is intensely human, and has a heart appeal, that will bring tears to the eyes of even those who ordinarily laugh at persons who cry over movie situations. On the other hand, there is a wealth of humorous situations to offset the pathos. The picture is so well balanced that the laughs come just in time to relieve the tenseness of the pathetic scenes, and the ending is so happy that everyone Automobile Owners WATCH YOUR STORAGE BATTERY Tf each cell in your storage battery is not properly charg- ed, the weak ones will freeze.

The cylinder has no pockets on top as have all other types. Therefore it takes less gas to fill. less power to compress, and every ounce of firing force comes down on the piston. For this rea- son you will find racing and aeroplane motors to be almost without exception of the value-in-head type. In these days of necessary economy, the consumption of gasoline is a most important matter and in this the Buick has pfoven its worth. YOU CAN HAVE A BUICK AS LOW AS $795.
