The FIVE reel picture The Three of
Us, which is booked for the New Boz
for the first two days next week. may
be depended upon to make strong
appeal on account OF the nearness Of
its interest to the peoples hearts. 1t
is based on Rachel Crothers play and
its title comes from the name of a
gold mine, the sole legacy of three
children. The girl mabel Tiliaferro)
and the boy Creighton Hale) are
growing up; the youngest is a child
and these three are balanced TO get
the most, dramatically, out of the lads
straining away from the home ties.
They have gold claim. The father
had thought it good and the girl is
doing her best to make the brother
keep on with the fight, but he is
dreaming Of the delights OF the city.
The second interest of the Offering
is a melodramatic love story in which
Steve, Edwin carewe, the hero. loves
the girl, Khy. He, too, is having dis
enlargement in finding pay dirt in
his mine, located next to The Three

man. They know that Steve's claim is
good and want Beresford to get it
for them. Steve has an option that
will expire at noon in few DAYS. and
this option is the pivot around which
the action turns with increasing
speed. At the climax every character
is influenced by the fate OF that OPP

April Fool.

Probably you have wondered why
there should be celebrated such a day
as April Fools Day. 1t doesn't COM
memorate anything; it seems to be
utterly ridiculous-but it isn't. 1t
is, in reality, the celebration of the
possession of laughter by the human
race. Few things better deserve eel
ebration than laughter. If somebody
should come to you and ask, How
much will you take never to laugh
again." what would you say? Won
derful gifts have been made to man
kind, but one of the finest and most
indispensable is laughter. SO let us
celebrate April Fools Day. Let us
play our kindly jokes. Let us bub-
bic over with numor. But let us not
forget to set aside one moment OF
soberness and Of some solemnity to
give thanks for the existence Of
laughter in the world.

ICE CREAM STANDARD.
Commissioner Barney Wants Pure
Product in Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia, March 3O.-Com-
missioner Barney has received re-
Gently the assistance possible in his
fight to have Iowa maintain an ice
cream standard, from number of
the reliable manufacturers of ice
cream in Des Moines and elsewhere
in the state. 1t is declared that all
the makers of ice cream who make
a high grade product desire to have
the law sustained. One of the best
of the Iowa companies stated the
other day to him that it would be al
most driven out of business if the
law is broken down and makers are
permitted to put on the market any
thing the public will buy for ice
cream.
The suit is soon to be argued in
the supreme court, but there is not
great danger that it will result in
wiping the law off the books.

in January 1918. He has also been
much interested in Norwegian-Ameri-

has penned.
On Dec. 2S. 1885, he was united
in marriage to Miss Josephine Aasre,

Mr.. and Mrs. Ole A. Aasre, early

continued in that position. Since
1912 he has been president of the
