ZUVER, Auc. - “Wild and Woolly” Wednesday Even the many admirers of Douglas Fairbanks who are fa- miliar with his daredevil stunts, will gasp at his new thrillers dis- closed in “Wild and Woolly,” at his first appearance here at the! Orpheum next Wednesday night. Leaping from a porch of a house onto a fast moving train is but one of the many thrills performed by the athletic star in his latest film. Another startler is present- ed in a fight on horseback in which right predominates. This is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable stunts of its kind ever staged and shows the daring actor leaping from one dashing horse to struggle with the rider of another horse going at break-neck speed. If you see “Doug” this time you won’t miss seeing him the next time.

WAS CLERK BEFORE THE WAR Made His First Money Dealing Russian Rubles—Then Engages in Smuggling Rubber From Fin- land and Gets Rich Quickly. Stockholm, Sweden.—“You want to know what people smuggle? Go up the river then, and you will soon find out. They smuggle nearly everything, so it is rather difficult to answer the question offhand.” So said a custom house officer at Haparanda, the little Swedish town on the frontier of Fin- land, to Herbert Ericson, a Swedish writer, who went up the Tornea valley to investigate the smuggling stories. “While I was waiting for the Over- Tornea train to start, a motorcycle chugged into the station yard,” said Ericson. “That is one of our rubber barons,” remarked an acquaintance to me, A rubber baron, in Haparanda talk, is a man who suddenly gets rich on smuggling rubber in from Finland. I was in luck, for the baron—Karlsson I will call him—traveled north in my compartment. He was a pleasant fel- low. He did not remind me of the smart speculators I had met in Norr- land. He even looked embarrassed when I began to talk about smuggling. Clerk Before the War. “Presently he told me that at theif. outbreak of the war he had been @ clerk in one of Norrland’s coast towns, He had earned his money in rubles. “It is not generally known that many hundred Swedes have made big fortunes out of rubles. It happened like this: After the occupation of Poland and other regions of Russia, the Germans found that the population refused to take marks in payment for such supplies as were paid for. The people demanded rubles, and rubles the Germans did not have. The only way of getting them was through Sweden. The Russian government permitted no more than 500 to be tak- en out of the government by each traveler, but with the incentive of a good reward smugglers were not lack- ing. The Haparanda agents bought up these rubles and sent them down to Germany by bales, “When the Germans had bought all the rubles they wanted Karlsson tried to smuggle drugs to Finland. That failed absolutely. He met with a dis- aster at the outset. His first consign- ment of several kilos of acetylsalicy- lie acid and 100 clinical thermometers was seized by the Swedish customs au- thorities and a heavy fine was im- posed. “So he got into touch with some Finnish merchants who, for a price, guaranteed to have a large quantity of rubber rings on the Swedish side of tbe river at a certain minute on a cer- tain day. “Entering into relations with a firm In Stockholm and finding that he could make many thousand kroner profit thereby, Karlsson told the Finns to go | ahead. One night he went to Mattila, where the rubber was to be ready. Mattila is a tiny station on the Hap- | aranda-Over-Tornea stretch of rail- way, and almost on the bank of the | river. No Sign of Customs Officer. “When he arrived there was no sign of a Russian custom house officer across stream. The revolution has al- | tered matters. The Cossacks whe used to patrol the Russian shore had disappeared, The new guards appoint- ed by the revolutionaries found it more interesting to stay in Tornea. Ki rlsson picked up the rubber. This was only the first of a chain of such transac- | tions he managed with financial suc- cess. “Karlsson has meticulously taken the goods so smuggled to the toms authorities, to be s duty. Quantities of tin, flour and lin- seed oil have similarly come over the river for many months past. Tin gives the Finns an advantage. I found one case where a druggist had come to grief by taking delivery of and paying heavily for a thousand’kilos of a cheap alloy. The flour smuggling seems to indicate that the Finns engaged must be blackguards of a particularly ob- noxious type, for they ship flour out | of their land while they know that tens of thousands of their fellow countrymen are nearly starving and that their government is sending out commissions full of piteous appeals to other lands, America included, to spare them a little flour. It seems curious that these commissions could not have tarried a week at the frontier and or- ganized a guard to put a stop to the drain of flour there.” PHONE COMPANY PUTS BAN ON HUN MESSAGES Brookfield, Mo, — Complying with the request of the Linn county council of defense, the Beli Telephone company of this city, has issued an order to all patrons of its system prohibiting a suitable reward for information leading to her recovery.
