So I figured it out nake short features to be put in with a full length feature, and let one of the two get the blame for bringing ‘em In or keeping ‘em out. All mine’s supposed to do is pleaso ‘em after they get In. “You want to know what I think shout censorship? Well, not much. I aint worrled much about them fel- lers, You see, one thing about my pictures, we don’t even fear the cen sors, My pictures have been pitied but never censored.” BIG CITY FIRE SEEN IH FILM AT THE RIALTO “The Third Alarm” Is Ro- mance of Fire Fighter's Life To Be Shown Here. ‘The entire workings of a big city fire department, from the time the first alarm is sounded until the bia fire 1s completely extinguished, is graphically depicted in “The Third Alarm," Emory Johnson's vital ro mance of @ fire fighter’s life, which will be shown at the Rialto theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

I had made money in 1917 as every one else had and like the rest had bought some of nearly ev- erything that was offered with the result that I had a bunch of oil stocks of ev- ery kind and color which at that time appeared to be worthless, I dropped these in the bottom of my trunk and forgot them until a few days ago when I dug them out, took them to a broker and after he had looked them over gave me a check fer more money than I thought there was in the whole world. Oh, boy, here I was ery- ing with a loaf of bread in my hand and didn’t know it. The first thing I did was to square the debts I had made and patronize some of the merchants who hed offered me credit and sur- prised them by laying down the cold hard cash. Then I went out to look at some- thing. I went out to Salt Creek where the Evans Oil Corporation is drilling a well and gave it the double O. Say, if those boys don’t bring in a real he-boy gush- er that will pay for another Louisiana purchase and about half of Alaska, then I don’t know my stuff, and that land in Pine Mountatin will take care of the bal- ance, Then I beat it over to the office at Room 7 in the Zuttermeister Building and laid down two thousand smackers for the same num- ber of shares, and I'll tell the world I'm sitting pretty right now, In a few more weeks I’m going to buy the biggest car in town and take myself a long trip see- ing the world on the profits. Lady Luck is sure workin’ overtime for me right now, TOM REDDING
