While on this trip they run into sew
e1al revenue officers and Lige grabs
Steve's gun and shoots. The gun is
found and taken to the Sheriff who
recognizes It as Steve's gun, and after
struggle with himself, starts out to
arrest the brother of the girl he loves.
In the meantime, Steve has rusl
home and confessed 10 MS sister, who

EMBLEMS ON HAND

NJ. T. Emanuel, Imperial Valley rep
resentative of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, announces that he
has just received a quantity of the
club emblems to equip every members
car.
The usefulness of these little insig-
Mas of membership in the Auto Club
is attested by the fact that not sin
gle automobile has been stolen in
Southern California equipped with this
emblem. This is strong statement
when it is considered that between
twelve and fifteen hundred automo-
biles have been reported stolen this
year. Not one stolen car carried this
emblem.

PALACE THEATRE

Florence Rockwell, who is starring
in the Pallas Picture production "He
Fell in Love With His Wife, had a
very hazardous experience while en-
acting the scenes in the rain storm at
night
The exertion required to brave the
fury of the tempest proved too much
for woman's strength and Miss
Rockwell tainted from exhaustion.
As Aida Armstrong, she discovers
the long concealed duplicity of her
husband, and the mental blow unbal-
ances her mind.
Bareheaded and without wraps, she
flees into the night, into the worst of
a terrific tempest. The storm is awe
inspiring in the tornado like force of
the wind, that drives the rain in tor
rents down the streets and sweeping
around the corners blows umbrellas
inside out; carries hats and awnings
away; rocks the street lamps, and
drives the patrolman in oilskins, who
cannot make headway against the
storm, into the shelter of the apart
ment house hallway These storm
scenes stand unsurpassed by any for
eign or American productions.
Farmer Alfalfa in Bray Cartoon
will also be shown.

st. Paul. - Black rust reports from

black spots on the stems and leaves
in some fields he said, but there is
no black rust on the heads of the grain

in 80 years. There is always a little
rust on the straw from heat after q
fog but that is t-ifling." ,,...f. '.
