Mate" will be shown at the Vining

Alice Chaplin, Mary Pickford portrays
the delightfully."- fascinating character
of little Anemone, a dainty slip of
beauty, adorably girlish, tantalizingly
wilful, gloriously feminine. From
her peaceful little valley home Anem-
one rises to great heights, and in the
stress of that mounting realizes the
earnest self-sacrifice for love that
later results in the full accomplish
ment of her womanhood.
Prices will be 10 and 20 cents and
two regular programs will be run
each evening. Don't fail to see this
film as it is recommendde by every

This is a reduction of l mill
from the budget for 1914, which was
14.S mills.
Comparing the budget for 1915
with that for this year, it is seen
that large reductions are made in the
interest and bonds and in the street
fund items, and increases made in
the park and in the general funds
items.
The last two budgets had interest
and bonds items so large as not only
to meet the interest and bonds due
but to accommodate over $4,000,
which money now on hand was taken
into consideration, and warranted
the former % mills to be cut to 4
mills for this fund.
The street funds have been so con-
served this year that over 81 200 will
be on hand December 81.
A careful estimate for next year
by the street committee chairman,
and including $500 for the 1915 ex-
upon new drives-Glen
View on the east side and the High
way on the west-showed that / mill
would be sufficient. Last year the
street fund had LIS mills.
OF the park funds each year ap-
proximately $3.50 is required to pay
pavement and sidewalk assessments,
which left less than $1,000 for the
upkeep of the parks this last year.
The new items this year include $500
for Alder Street Park, 500 for
benches, $500 for camp grounds,
$3.50 for water pipes and 500 for
plants, seeds, trees and fertilizer
The item for labor was 1920.

new items of 1925 for waterproofing

Joy Riders
Crippled Auto

Clarence Lane is a very mad man.
When placid Clarence gets his ire up
there is something wrong. He went
to Talent Saturday on his regular
trip and stopped at the hotel for din
ner, leaving his auto standing in the
street. An irresponsible stranger and
a young lady conceived the idea of
borrowing the car for JOY ride.
They got started all right, but could
mt stop. When they wound up the
front wheels were both bent back
under the car, the steering gears
were bent beyond repair and the car
wrenched from stem to stern. SO
bad was the auto damaged that it has
required three days to put it In shape
to run and Clarence doubts If It will
ever be as good as it was before.
The joy riders took the car without
even so much as by your leave.

Portia, who according to her fathers

order to satisfy grudge against An
tonic suggests that the bond exact
a pound of Antonio's hair to be cut
off nearest Antonio's BRAIN il the
pony is not returned according to
terms of the bond The bond expires
and the pony is not returned On the
day of the great Thanksgiving game
Shylock demands the forfeit IRE. The

young lawyer saves Antonio's pound
of hair by demanding an X-ray pho

Antonio has no brain and the terms
of the bond cannot be fulfilled.
Amid great rejoicing among An

CRATER LAKES.

Easter Island Has Wonderful One,
and So Has Java.
Wonderful lakes are often found in.
side The craters of volcanoes. One of
these can be seen upon Easter island
the island which bears wonderful re-
mains of an unknown ancient people.
Inside crater is n lake. near the Dor.
ders of which lie several unfinished
crowns composed of tufa. evidently
destined for the huge figures ON the
shores Of the island. but never COM
pleted. And on this lake float many
waterfowl. one of which Is said to be
a goose unknown to science.
Another curious crater lake existed
until recently within the icebOund era.
ter Of a volcano in New Zealand. The
water was heated TO boiling point. but
short time ago an eruption of more
than common violence tossed the
whole lake into the air
A most interesting crater lake can
still be seen in Java in the volcano of
Papandajan. and IL is possible TO enter
the crater and gaze down on the scene
below. Standing Oh the rim. one can
see the vast seethlng mass of boiling
mud Every now and then wave OF
mud moves heavily along the sides of
the chasni. only TO fall back into the
molten mass. and here and there col
umns of sulphur thrown out OF the.
lake OF mud are gradually forming
walls. II is indeed pleasant to escape
from this dismal Enclosure to breathe
the free air once more.

NazaIene Church.

The evangelistic meetings at the
Nazarene church will continue all
week. Preaching at 1880 every even
ing, and afternoon meetings at 2:3O.
Especially helpful for Christian peo-
pie. The meetings are increasing in
interest and power. Mrs. Crooks
speaks with an authority which is at
once conceded by the hearers as di-
vine. God certainly speaks through
her as His own servant, and people
are being stirred to holier and higher
and diviner things.

RETURNING FROM CHURCH SEE
EAST ROCKAWAY PRISONER

ROCKVILLE CENTER, L. l.. Jan.
1o.-There are several persons In
this village today who are still on the
verge Of Mysteries as a result OF a
scare from what they believed to be
a gsost. 1t wasn't. 1t was very ma
terial and the only thing spiritual
about 1t was the ingredients taken pri-
or to its naturalization. All who
were frightened were returning to
their homes from a church service.
Since fou prisoners broke out OF
the Jail recently DIR. Devillo N. Buk
son, the village president. adopted a
scheme Of lodging drunkards and 9TH
er persons charged with miner Of
lenses at the Rockville Center hotel,
trusting to the efficient and popular
night clerk OF that hosiery to guard
them.
John McManus. of East Rockaway.
who was accused OF having accumu-
lated more of load Of liquor than he
could carry. went In search Of DR..
Bulson, saying he wished to be COM
mitted to a comfortable bed In the ho-
tel. Mistaking the brass sign OF a
house, McManus entered the home OF
DIR. Frank T. Delano instead OF that
of the village president.
DR.. Delano said he would not ac-
cept McManus' explanation and the
latter began to wreck the interior OF
the house. Policemen Peterson and
Kischer were summoned. They
marched McManus to the jail. decid-
Ing to take another chance and hop
ing that McManus' condition might
deceive him concerning the strength
of the institution. An hour later, at
half past ten o'clock, McManus Is
said to have removed the door OF the
Jail from it's hinges. With a sheet COW
ering his head and trailing to the
ground he ran out OF the prison and
down the main street OF the village,
uttering terrifying shouts.
The union service In the Baptist
church had just ended and there was
a long procession OF women and men
on the sidewalks. The noisy appari-
ton plunged through these. bowling
over several women and knocking
men aside. .'ther women tainted and
the ghost ran up the church steps
and into the auditorium before all
OF the persons were out, continuing
his shouts and waving his sheet.
Several men drove him from tho
church and pursued him i've blocks
before they caught him.
