 The whole hearted generosity of Hugh has won the heart of Peppina. who now assumes her real name, Lois .Torrens, and goes to school to learn the niceties of that society in which she is to take her rightful place.

mitS the counties to vote the tax for period of thirty years. Under the two year system the county judge Is not assured that the tax will be con tinued at the end of the two years. and he cannot anticipate revenue under 1t for greater length of time. Consequently no permanent improve ments can be made and only repah, work is done.
 The proposed amendment will per init the counties to issue warrants for twenty or thirty years, and through their sale secure sum sufficient to build permanent roads in every sec tion of the country. It is but natural that the property values in the county will increase and as they do moro revenue is raised on the same rate of assessment each year. This addition .al revenue, in addition to the interest on the sinking fund, provided to retire bonds or warrants when they become due, will maintain the roads so they are as good at the end of twenty CT thirty years, as the day they were built. All county judges of the state are working for this amendment.

ITALIANS STEAL AMERICAS SWEETHEART" MARY PICKFORD Experiences Most Unusual Happen ings of Her Life Playing Parts of
 Bootblack, Messenger, Etc.

If there were three hundred and sixty-seven days in this year, it would surely mark the number of real things that happen in the life of Mary Pickford Something real happens to her each day in the week. of every week.
 Her latest big happening is her ap- pearance in the first seven reel fea- ture produced for Paramount Pictures Corporation by Famous Players. It is Poor Little Peppina,' produced under the direction of Sidney Olcott from the script written especially for the star by Kate Jordan.
 Besides being her biggest picture, it also derives especial interest from the fact that it marks Miss Pickford's s first appearance on the screen since the formation of the Famous Players Mary Pickford Company in which she retains a half interest.
 Through force of circumstances in this production the star becomes q bootblack, telegraph messenger and the general scapegoat of band of notorious counterfeiters.
 Little Peppina," that is Mary, you remember, is kidnapped by an Italian when she is a very young girl and forced to work as member of his family Her parents, after failing to find the child, leave Italy and return to the United States. The child grows up to young womanhood, and her charms attract the attention of a brutal padrone who demands her hand in marriage.
 According to the custom of the land, there is nothing for Peppina to do but to flee if she does not want Co marry the man.
 Dressed in boys clothes, Peppina skips aboard a steamer bound for America, where she is befriended by Hugh Carroll, the brother of the American countess upon whose estate Peppina has been forced to labor.
 Solda and Villato, the men who kid naped the child, have fled to America, and it is to their 'counterfeiting den that the stoker takes Peppina. She is forced to run errands for the gang and incidentally finds employment in various capacities as bootblack and
