TiIIie's Punetured Romance.

The big Keystone feature of all fea- lures was at the Davis theatre on Mon day and, as promised, drew capacity houses for all shows during the after noon and evening. Marie Dressler Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand the three Keystone stars in fun-pro- ducing. are any one of them competent enough alone to make a picture popu- lar, but when you get them all three together, as in Tillie's Punctured Ro- nance, the result is irresistible That was the way 1t hit the local audiences who sat through two solid hours of laughter as the film unrolled before their eyes and produced one scene after another in which these three stars per formed. The picture promises to make a record for the theatre during the three days that 1t will be here.

UNCLE SAM QUITE POPULAR
Jobless Men Besiege Postoffice After

Are Not Reported.
SUPPLY OF BLANKS ALL USED

Information window No. 10 at the post

no sooner opened than it was besieged
by an army OF men. Big and little.
black and white. thin and fat they
crowded up to set on the roll of men for
whom Uncle Sam Is undertaking 10 find
employment, in accordance with the let
ter received by Postmaster Wharton
Monday from A. Camlnetti. commissioner
OF immigration.
What the Honorable A. Caminetu was
thinking OF when he sent the blanks Is
hard to understand, For the Honorable
a. Caminett sent between fifteen and
twenty OF the blanks. Only that and
nothing more. Tho Honorable A.. Cam
inettl was either lahorlng under flt OF
observation-disclosures or else no knows little
of the number OF men who would wish
20 avail themselves OF the free offer
of their Uncle Samuel to take their
names and undertake to act as a clear
ing house between manless jobs and
iobless men. The fifteen or twenty
blanks disappeared as swiftly az hand
full of snow deposited upon the sunny
side Of the street at noon of an August
DAY
All day the stream continued to flow
up to the window and all day the clerk
had to parrot the sentence: "cau next
week some time. The blanks are all
gone"
Nearly all the applicants asked for
farm work or some other kindN of or
binary labor. some had had positions
that paid better than farm work, but
were willing TO take that. One sought
work as an auto blacksmith"
While there was a run on the en-
ployees' blanks there was no call at al
for the employers blanks. II is expected
however. that most of these will be filled
out in the small towns and rural dis
tricts.
