A Good Change

The General Film Exchange
of Omaha notified the Palm
management today that the
"Pathe Weekly" news film
would be shipped to them on
Monday evenings hereafter
instead of Friday evenings.
This means that the Palm the.
atre will release this popular
reel every Monday night and
will be shown at the Palm as
soon as any other place in the
world. The reel is released at
ten o'clock Monday morning
and will be shown on the screen
at the Palm at seven thirty on
the same evening. Can you
beat that for giving the people
service. The change in nights
of showing the Pathe Weekly
at the Palm was brought about
by the fact that the Orpheum
theatre in Omaha shows this
same reel from Tuesday until
Tuesday, twice each day. This
will demonstrate to the public
of this city that the Palm of
Missouri Valley tries to give
the best and will show the
"Pathe Weekly" before the
citizens Of Omaha have a
chance to see it.
In making this change, the
"Pathe Weekly, will be shown
Monday night with the feature
program, "The Lady of the
Lake" or in other words, four
reels will be shown.

Would Overtax
the Allen Ditch

Would Overtax
the Allen Ditch
w. D. Bird, a resident of
Harrison county but owner of a
240 acre farm in Rockford
township in this county close to
the northern boundary, has
commenced action against the
board of supervisors of the
two counties and the Wilson
drainage subdistrict for $4,000
which he claims as a result of
damages to his land from the
establishment of the Wilson
subdistrict.
The case is in the nature Of
an appeal from the award of
$500 made to him by the joint
board of supervisors. He says
that while his land does not
come under the Wilson district
the drainage from that terri
tory will go into the Allen
creek ditch, which borders his
land, and will overtax the ca
pacity Of that ditch, thereby
causing damage to his proper
ty.-Nonpareil.
