Moving pictures are the popular
entertainment features of the hour.

entertainment and convenience.
But they have come to stay, and
the public welcomes them daily.

new films are shown at favorite NOV
ing picture houses. There was time
when moving picture shows were en-
tirely on a melodramatic order, but
that was In the early days. Gradu-
ally each year an improvement in the
character Of the picture shows has
been in evidence. Now the people
demand higher class pictures and ap-
preciate comedies rather than an
overabundance of the serious side OF
life.
The Quiloa Film Corporation has
fully analyzed the public taste and
about a year ago began nationwide
campaign to secure the best comedies

ASK FOR new PAVING
ON KING Street, TOO
Merchants Feel 1t Should be
Improved Along With
Market Street
TO PRESENT CLAIMS
TO STREET BOARD

Merchants whose places Of bust
ness are on King street have started
a movement 10 try to have that thor
oughfare paved with bitulithic and
more deliberately lighted.
While not opposing the project for
new paving Of Market street. the
King street merchants feel that King
street should be paved at the same
time, as both streets are now princi-
pal business thoroughfares and
should be improved as much as pos
sible. Another argument in favor OF
King street paving is that work start
ed In connection with the new pub

full length OF the street.
King street merchants have re.

crosses Is to be repeated this gesslon."
That this Is conclusion from which
there is no escape is the judgment OF
Frank y. Woods, of Iowa, chairman OF
the national Republican congressional
committee. In statement issued re-
Gently Representative Woods outlined
the reasons for his opinion.
NO legislative body can produce
accurate legislation without .obscrv-
ing two important principles" said Mr,
Woods. First. there must be intclli-
gent unity OF purpose as TO the laws
TO be written. Second, the methods
by which the proposed legislation is to
nc enacted must permit the correction
OF defects when they are discovered.
Even at this early stage OF the pres
eht session 1t is apparent that both
these requirements are lacking.
with the party strength reduced to
bare majority in the House, thcre Ia
revolt against the most important
legislation proposed. namely. provision
Tor more adequate national defenses.
Tile amounts asked for charging
the army and navy involve annual in
tStlIldtpu III n
quarter OF a billion dollars for several
years. The responsibility of providing
revenue to meet this expenditure falls
largely upon the ways and means COM
mittce.
The chairman of that committee.
Representative Claude Kitchen. has
stated that he is opposed to tho ma
tional defense porgram. His defec-
ton is more serious when It is re-
membered that his party has been un-
able to keep our national finances upon
sound basis when only ordinary de-
mands were to be met Mr.. Kitchen
himself has already pointed out that
there Is serious deficit in the treas
ury TO he provided for.
. In the Senate the party strength
was divided even before the session
began. Bitter fractional strife marked
the organization OF the Senate on the
issues of both the election OF a presi-
dent pro temporc and the proposed
cloture rule. and il is obvious that the
breach will not be healed.
1T is evident. therefore. that there
will be no unity of purpose among
the Democrats. and that their method
of procedure in framing laws will pre-
vent the correction of errors even

WARM PRAISE BY
DAVE HICKMAN
THE oil MAN. y
Well Known Pike Street Resi-.
dent Found Nerv-Worth a
Wonderful Nerve Tonic.

Almost everybody in Clarksburg
knows Dave Hivkman, the "oil
Man." OF No. 1869 Pike street, and
everybody knows him to be thorough
ly reliable. Therefore, when a man
OF his type endorses Nerve-Worth
over his own signature. the public is
bound to bank on the remedy. Don't
miss a word OF what Mr.. Hickman
says:
"Burke's Drug Store: Two weeks
ago I bought bottle OF Nervc-Worth
for my wife, who suffered with sleep
lessness, nervousness, pains across
the small of her back and severe ner-
vous headache.
This trouble has been of five
years standing. Doctored some but
never got any relief. This one bottle
OF Nerve-Worth has eliminated her
trouble. No headache. pains in the
back gone. sleeps good and rests
fine. Good appetite, and take it all
around she is better than she's been
in all these years.
(Signed) sd. w. HICKMAN"
Nerve-Worth has the same power
over dizziness, bowel trouble. weak
ness, that tired. "dragy" feeling and
low spirits that 1t has over the ner-
vous troubles which made life mis-
cradle to Mrs. Hickman. And don't
forget that you can test that power
to your own satisfaction without
risking a penny, for II the medicine
does not help Burke's Drug Store will

A .Jnrrinp Sote.

From the standpoint Of sincerity and
frankness. probably the most Earring
note in the presidents message was
found in his discussion of "Pan-Ameri-
canism.' He unblushingly stated that
"All the governments OF America
stand. so far as we are concerned. upon
n footing Of genuine equality and UNI
questioned independence" and. speak
ing OF Mexico, he said: we have
been put to the test in the case of Mex
leo and we have stood the test.
Whether we have benefited Mexico by
the course We have pursued remains to
be seen. Its fortunes are In its own
hands. But we have at least proved
that we will not take advantage of it
in its distress and undertake to i'm
pose upon 1t an order and government
of our own choosing"
And all this and much more Mr.. Will
son said when nothing but interfer-
ence, which went to the extent Of land
ing troops and shedding blood at Vera
Cruz. forced Huerta out of. and Car
rama into. power: when today there is
highly unpopular government in Mic
aragua maintained in power solely by
the presence OF our marines: when we
are collecting and disbursing the GUS
toms revenues of Santo Domingo. and
when we have only just completed n
similar treaty with Haiti, negotiated
and ratified under the guns OF our
battleships and marines. and now
awaiting ratification by our Senate.
Had Mr.. Wilson'S entire discussion
of the relations of the United States
with its Central and South American
neighbors been uttered by other than
president of the United States IL
would have been pronounced the
cheapest sort of buncomb by every
one familiar with the facts.
