This*production, with the famous William Fox star, is a picturi- zation of Zane Grey's tale of the samo name with scenes laid in Texas in the days of border outlawry. ‘Tom Mix never has been eeen to better advantage in a western: character: role than in his portrayal of Buch Duane, son of a feudist. This young Texan refuses to fight until forced to kill a man in self-defense. He then becomes an outlaw until, through the love of a girl, he re- celves a pardon on condition that he help clean up a leading band of cattle thieves.

Tom Mix shoul keep this leading lady in his plettires, for she is a splendid complement to the Western star, iuynn Reynolds has done a neat bit of directing.

But ex- isting contracts kept the twe apart until the making of “Tiger TPhomp- son,” and the renewed association has brought about a picture which reflects the happy spirit of splendid rdination. reezy” Eason {s considered one of the best directors of screen ‘West- erns” in the industry. Besides direct- ing Carey he has made some of the most successful pictures in which Tom Mix, Hoot Gibson and Buck Jones have starred. Teeth and Jaw of Mastadon - Is Uncovered DENVER, Col Aug. 30.—The teeth and jawbone of a skeleton of a mastedon declared by J. B. Figgins, director of’ the Colorado Museum of Natural History ta be the first of its kind ever discovered within the city limits of Denver was uncovered during excavation at a gravel pit at Fifty-Second and York streetn late yesterday afternoon. The jawbone and teeth were uncovered by an employe of the gravel works. Director Figgins who was notified went to the pit. About @ yeat ago he uncovered two eight foot tucks of the miastadon ¢lose to the present find and now believes that further work wil! reveal the first and only complete skeleton of a mastadon in existence. Numerous skeletons have been uncoyered in the past, accord. ing t¢ Mr. Figgins, but in “each in- Stance ti has been necessary to sup- ply man-made bones to complete thi ske‘eton for exhibition purposes. He today expressed himself as confident that the complete skeleton will be revealed in the gravel pit. According to Figgins the bones iscovered yes- terday are at least 2500 years oid. oe ATTENTION!

DAWES TALKS FARM PROBLEMS INADORESS GIVEN AT LINCOLN (Codtinued from Page One.) the Republican party had to make to the farmers of the country, Mr. Dawes said. LINCOLN, Nebr., Aug. 30.—(By the Associated ress.)—Declaring the farm situation to be a most ser!- ous economic situation’ now con- fronting the-United States, Charles G. Dawes, republican candidate for vice president, in an address here last night presented an explanation of the purpose of the present ad- ministration in the contemplated appointment of an agricultural com- mission. “We make but one promise—that the Republican party, utilizing) thé best minds, and those by training best fitted for the task, will bend its every energy to the study of our agricultural. problem ta tho end that through legislation or other meéans, tts golution may be accom: plished,” Mr. Dawes asserted. ‘Who ever promises more than this is entering into a contract which can not be filled." The Republican nominee deyoted the major portion of his address, de- Mvered. here, in the heart of the agricultural middle west, to the ag- ricultural question; taking up tho causes for the recent depression in farm prices, the remedies recom: mended, and the prospects for the future. Need for the appointment of “an impartial, non-partisan competent commission, ance, is imperative,” said, adding that “the provement in the’ agricultural situ- ation must not be taken as evident that the farniers’ problem has work- ed out of {ts own solution.” The problem to be solved, he as. rted, resolved itself into a ques. tion of finding how “equality in ning capacity can be secured be- tween agriculture and industr: This problem, he added, arose pri- marily from conditions resulting from the world war and foremost atmong the causes responsible, he declared, was unregulated produc- tion. Figures cited to show the in- crease in acreage over pre-war years, attention was called to the increase in taxes, the possibilitis of exten- sion of cooperative marketing were discussed and Mr. Dawes then launched into an explanation of the agricultural commission proposal. “The mere fact that it is now possible to corisider this question when the industry is not in the trough of a terrible depression, as it was sixty days ago, has its great advantage,” he declared. “It re- moves that obstacle to the gaining of rspecti which imi lon_in eh SS SH SS CF QE Y SATURDAY NIGHT IS JOY NIGHT AT RIVERVIEW PARK Visit the Plunge in the Afternoon The Dance in the Evening § FOLLOW THE CROWD TO RIVERVIEW PARK Wyo. immediate crises always involves. In fact, there never was a better op- portunity presented for the proper consideration of constructive meas- ures relative to an industry than exists at present, when a terrible experience, with its lessons, is #0 reent and a demonstration of the ultimate effects of economic law ts at the same time before our eye. “It ie, however, ope of the funda, mental characteristics of human na- ture to be much more concerned with getting out of trouble than, when once out of it, to keep from getting in again. guard against, or the opportunity may be lost. ~“The position outlined by the pro- ponents of agricultural relief ts evi- dence that they regard properly the Protective tariff and’ restricted {m- migration more as a moral justifica- tion of the demands for agricultural rellef than as the cause of the re- cent depression. “This is natural, for in the ten year pre-war period, the surplus of the farmer's products, as at present, was sold in the world market and he bought in a protecte dmarket. “Our policy of protection in no way oliminates the operation of the This we must) law of supply and demand within our own borders, but simply lim- its supply from abroad below a. cer- tain price level determined by the import duty. “That the.protective tariff was somewhat lower then than that now in exisitence was because it was sufficient to give labor and manu- facturing their American market At that time (before the war) the manufacturing costs of production in Gert y had not been lessened by the enormous decrease in the wages of labor there, caused by the degradation of the mark. Inflation in Europe. The lower tariff then, hot then lessened other labor costs costs in Europe. The lower tariff then, prevented ruinous foreign competition as the Fordney tariff does now. “As to restricted immigration, considering the two periods of be- fore the war and since the war, the difference in the number of immi- grants is not yet such as to be a real factor in the difference in labor costs. Other reasons have operated there. including the proper organi- zation of labor for its own protec: tion. “Falr consideration of all ele- ments in the situation leads one to the conclusion that the great un- derlying causé for the recent depres- sion in agriculture has been the con- ditiong resulting from the world war, ‘The recent situation in the Amer- jean agricultural industry, consid- ered by itself, is somewhat analog- ous to the European situatipn in in- dustry at the inception of the work of the experg committee o nrepara- tion. So great was the necessity for settlement with Europe facing the abyss that almost any plan upon which the expert committee could ave unanimously reed might have been temporarily accepted for it the compelled Europe, for the first time, to think in alternatives. “Eyen an unworkable plan, adopt- ed unanimously at least might have provided the basis of a temporary economic peace. But if, influenced by nationalitistic or political consid- erations, there had been drawn an unworkable plan, because that wai the easiest — because upon its basis the nationalistic demagogues of the different countries could have been placated—tho peace upon which Europe is about to enter would have been temporary, and the chaos the beginning of a new dark age for that continent and its civilization. The worst calamity that could happen to American agriculture at this.time is the adoption of an un- workable plan, “The difference between an eco- nomic and an unwise political set- tlement of what is to be done for American agricultury, through new legislation, is the difference between success and failure. There must be most careful consideration of the application of economie principles, and also close calculation of the probable effectiveness of any pro- posed remedy. “The immediate political exigen- cles of the great political parties in this campaign would be settled if they could make the American ag- riculturalist believe in the fulfill- ment of an unfulfillable promise. But this must not be madé a mat- ter of political exigency. It must be considered without prejudice and from every standpoint “After two years of discussion up- on this subject, as extensive as was ever devoted in the United States in the same space of time, to an economic problem, it is at pres: ent clear that there is no concen- sus of either agricultural or eco- nomic opinion upon any of the pro- Posed legislative remedies now un- der consideration. Under such cir- cumstances, the same common sense méthod of procedure which led to the settlement of the difficulties of Europe, should be followed in the search for the settlement of the American agricultural problem.” Mr. Dawes also discussed the possibilities of cooperative market- ing, declaring that the problems “in- volved in cooperative ~ marketing should receive most serious and con tinuous study to the end that this form of distribution may be estab- lished on sound lines which ultim: ately will bring results advantag- eous to the producer." “The farmers must organize — preferrably on a commodity basis,” he continued, “for the purpose of improving marketing facilities where present costs are burdensome or can be reduced, and what is of : BHICHESTER SPILLS lat for ie Eadlcst Ask your Dru * Prijs in Ted fold boxes, sealed with Blue Take ne other.
