MEXICAN INVASION OF
HARRISBURG IN MOVIES

The latest of the home made mov-
les, entitled "A Mexican Invasion of
Harrisburg" is to be presented at the
Colonial Theater the latter half of this
week. This picture, which will place
more than ESQ Harrisburgers on the
screen, will be given in conjunction
with the Colonial's regular show of
vaudeville and feature movies.
As its name implies, "A Mexican
Invasion of Harrisburg" is a home
made thriller and shows what might
happen here any day if a bad-eyed
Mexican spy should drop down on our
peaceful community and disturb the
tranquility hereabouts. If you think
that Harrisburg would shiver and
shake with fear you are mistaken, for
1t shows right in this movie how a
spirited chase would take place right
away until the intruder was rounded
up and in safe keeping.
In this particular picture, the Mex
ican, played by Earl Brubaker. first
appears on the scene, when he steals a
certified check from Pete, a modest
workingman who has Just came into
a fortune. What happens after that
makes a swift moxie. The chase after
the Mexican carries the thief into a
picnic party of pretty Harrisburg
girls, leads to a series of hairbreadth
escapes, and finally brings the Mexican
ana ms purSuerS INTO Market street
where are several lively skirmishes
as hundreds of amazed pedestrians
look on, with Mortified expressions on
their faces. If you want to know
about how the good folks of Paris feel
this time, the looks of the faces of
these Harrisburgers as the chase for
the unruly Mexican goes on under
their eyes will tell you. But the Mex
lean is finally put behind the bars
after lively time takes place in front
of the Jail in Walnut street.
Thousands of residents of the city
saw the various scenes of this pic
ture being taken. A company of sew
eral scores of persons rehearsed the
story several weeks before it was
ready for the camera man. Some of
the principal players in the picture
are Earl Brubaker. Jennie Fry. Eve

A PROUD, IMPERIAL RACE

The PeruVians are a proud, imperial
race, living amid the grandest scenery
of the weston hemisphere, and hold
ing high ideals of what is best in edu-
cation and the unbought grace of life.
On the great country estates there is
much of the fine tradition and chival-
rous sentiment that came from the
best people of CASTLE and Aragon.
The Indians of the high plateaux are
unique reminder of a civilization
that bourgeoned centuries before the
face of the white man had blossomed
like flower in the western forests.
The immemorial records of a civiliza-
tion that vanished in the midst of
mans earliest recollections are family
suggested in splendid ruins among
sublime scenes. The name and fame
of the brilliant men who built the
walls and temples of Cuzco are lost,
and all we know of the wonder and
the charm of that forgotten culture
in the Andes is found in the pathetic
ruins of cities that are half as old
as recorded time.-"The Empire Chill
dren of the Sum-" Peter MacQueen, in
National Magazine for July.

asked authority to republish the per

three, five or ten days, or to observe
the same number of days notice as

The Commission agreed as to the
withdrawal of the present rates but
reserved its decision regarding the
proposition to make effective the 5

also made it plain that no matter what
its attitude on the latter question
may be, it would not affect the ques-

increased rates.

FIND PROFIT IN OLD SYSTEM
Georgia Farmers Re-estabIish Smoke
houses Of Ante.Bellum Days and
Are Making Money.

A number of farmers in Brooks
county, Georgia, have been going back
to methods once common, but which
have been superseded Of late years, to
their own considerable profit, and to
the advantage of certain consumers.
These farmers objected to the COM
mercial system under which they were
receiving but seven and eight cents a
pound for the pork which they raised,
while they saw the ham and bacon of
commerce retailing in their own mar
kets for rs cents q pound. They re-
solved to re-establish the aute-bellum
smokehouses on their farms and imme-
diately carried the resolution into ef-
feet.
Through cooperation they have
commenced marketing their products
in the finished form, and are building
up an extensive business. They find
that the profits which they make from
curing their own meats are relatively
larger, considering the time and ex-
pense involved, than those which they
we're receiving from marketing hogs
on the hoof.
The remarkable thing about this
profitable experiment is that 1t has not
been worked out In any Of the grain
centers or near any Of the country's
great markets, but In remote county

ITALY's FAMOUS IRON CROWN
Symbol of Royalty That Goes Far
Back Into the Records of Euro
pean History.

One of the most famous crowns Is
that which is not bedecked with jew
els, but is made of iron. This historic
iron crown has played.a a romantic role
in the history of Italy. 1t was fash
ioned in the year 594 by the command.
it is said, of Theolinda, the widow of a
Lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to a duke of Turin.
The iron is overlaid with gilt. The
significance of the crown was sup
posed to lie in the fact that the weight
of royalty could never be lightened by
its splendid exterior. The iron Of the
inner portion was traditionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifxion.
For long time the crown was kept
the famous monastery at Monza.
In TIA it was brought forth to be
placed upon the head of Charlemagne
as king of the Lombards," and on
later occasions it figured in the tri-
umphs of Frederick w and Charles v.
Finally, in the presence of all the rep
resentatives of state, the foreign en-
voys and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united it
to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of it is the legitimate
representative OF the basilica of Mon
"a. The title of grand custodian"
however, pertains to the head of the

were sitting late one winter afternoon.

chairman of the company. bit stouter
than when we first met him twelve
years ago. his arrogance little less
evident in manner albeit time had not
altered the fact The other was
youngish man whose thin bony face
and hands and streaks Of premature
gray hair spoke of physical frailty.
It was common knowledge In the
Quinby company that no one was
more welcome In Henley's Office than
the young superintendent whom the
masters influence had put in COM
mand of the big new open-hearth
plant. It was even suspected that
Henley had taken Truitt In with him
in his speculations.
At the end of long discussion OF
company affairs Henley pressed but
ton. His secretary appeared from the
adjoining Office.

count"
The secretary returned with the ac-
count of the latest successful specula-
ton. Henley gave 1t a rapid glance
and handed it to Mark. The latter
studied 1t carefully. questioned certain
items. questioned the EXPLANATION and
finally accepted them. Henley smiled
