In Colonial Cast

There are a number of distinct
types to be found in "Hulda From
Holland" the picture attraction
at the Colonial this week. First
is Hulda, the little Dutch girl in
the wooden shoes, so skillfully
portrayed by Mary Pickford. Then
there is Uncle Peter, the kindly
old Dutch uncle, capably acted by
Russell Bassett. In utter contrast
is the railroad king, grasping and
hard OF heart, convincingly char
acterized by Frank Losee. His
son. the whole-souled young art
list, becomes very likable chap in
the hands of John Bowers. Nor

TIGERS WIN, BUT GET BIG
SCARE WHEN GIANTS HIT
SWITZERLAND ALL OVER

Sutherland added another VIC
tory to his string yesterday In Sc
attic, but the over the seas sport
writer's say he got one OF the
biggest scares in his life In the
ninth when the Giants got on a
batting souse. In that particular
frame they hit everything Studs"
had to offer, but Tacoma's lead
was too big to overcome and Ia
coma won s to A.
. . . .
While 1t has never been con-
coded the Giants could hit worth
a loaded nickel, 1t was admitted
they had a pretty foxy fielding
gang, but this tradition went by
the boards yesterday p. m. They
fielded like a bunch of sixth grad

show it. but they were all wrong,
nevertheless.

Pat Eastley had the Tigers Of

said pillet always managed to go
just little over Tealey's head.
And SO 1t was until the end of
the game. Bankhead even got a
hit.
AL Gipe, who has been trotting
around the big brush, joined Seat

With this issue the Weakly Bulldog
| ger celebrates its first birthday. 1t
was just one twelvemonth ago that
this journalistic chick burst from EN-.
bryo and made its first lusty crow
! in a noisy world We have crowei
fifty times since and our clarion
notes have been heard around the
world
In our first declaration Of princl-
Piles we made but TWO promises, We
said we would be independent and
we would be fearless, We have been
both. We have been so strikingly in
| dependent that no one has ever been
able TO tell which side of any contro-
versy we have been on What could
be more independent? AS an evi-
!. dence of our fearlessuess we refer to
the fact that the repeated threats OF
Judge Marsh and Roland oliver to
dynamite our plant and disfigure our
map have failed to affect our policy
of printing all the news, real or i'm
aginery, that strikes our fancy.
We dislike a boaster and admire
modesty above all virtues. There
fore, we will refrain from eulogizlng
our splendid paper on this our glor-
ious anniversary. However, We feel
| justified in making retrospect OF
the first year of our journalistic ex-
| istence.
1t has been a wonderful year, has
our first one. We refer our readers
to the series Of notable events in the
community. We had the coolest win
ter in history; We have had bumper
/ century. We staged a great Fourth
of July celebration and the biggest
/ Roundup in history. The new H..
brary and federal building have been
completed and Happy Canyon built
anew. We do not claim full credit for
all these things but it is rather sig
nificant that they all happened after
we started this paper We regret
that we have been unable to bring ~
an end the European war and the IL
I brary fight However, by the end q
another year we hope at least to he
:
side or the other in these two historic
/ disputes IS winning
We have been flooded all day with
letters and kilograms Of congratula-
tion but owing to space limitations We
are unable to reprin but few. We
follow this with some samples Of the
many kind messages.
