An unprecedented attraction with
the Sun Brothers Great Tented
Shows, this season, is the introduction

herd of tango and pantomimic ele-
plants. These jungle giants give i'm
itations Of a brass band, dance the
latest tangos and turkey trots, stand
on their heads, play baseball and bowl
ten pins; they walk ropes and per-
form many other equally amusing and
difficult tricks. They are truthfully
advertised as the most wonderful ele-
plants today in America.
Besides this elephantine display, the
other attractions are all of a high
grade character and serves to intro
duce the leading foreign and Ameri-
can artists. "Tango Bill" the $4,000
high school horse, also appears at
every performance. This beautiful
equine is handled and performed by

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS"

Business is business" but men are
men,
Loving and working, dreaming,
Telling with pencil or spade or pen,
REGISTERING; planning, scheming.
Cuisines is busi0ess"-but he's a
fool
Whose business has grown to
smother
His faith in men and the golden rule,
His love for a friend and brother.
Business is business"--but life is
life;
Though we're all in the game to
win it,
Let's rest sometimes from he heat
and strife.
And try to be friends a minute.
Let's seek to be comrades now and
then,
And slip from u golden tether;
Business is business" but men are
men,
And we're all good pals together!

CLARA kIMBALL YOUNG IN
THE DARK SILENCE"

There is only one Clara Kimball
Young. Everybody remembers her
marvellous acting in Camille" "The
Feast of Life" "The Yellow Pass
port" "Lola," and the other master
pictures released in the past on the
World Program.
She is coming to the Greenwood
Theatre soon in a new and wonderful
picture, "The Dark Silence" which
has been in preparation during the
past four months. In all that time
Clara Kimball Young has not been
seen upon the screen. In all her
splendid career as an actress she has
never enjoyed such opportunities for
brilliant and varied personation as
those provided in "The Dark Silence"
This play has been produced by the
World Film Corporation in a most
elaborate and lavish manner, under
the personal and famous direction of
Albert Capellani. Watch for its early

"OLD ARKANSAW" A SIDE.
Sitter.

A big crowd was present to see
odd Arkansaw" at the tent of the
Swain Show last night and came
away well pleased with the perform
ance. The plot was gripping, holding
those present to close attention until
the curtain dropped on the fourth
and last act. The acting was fine and
tailed with the usual high-class work
done by the Swain people.
Mary, the neighbours girl, and her
mad love for Jim Cummins, the hero,
was the big laugh of, the show. Her
pathetic efforts to woo and win the
handsome hero brought down the
house.
Sue, the heroine, played a difficult
part to perfection. She first appear
ed as the beautiful, uneducated. Ar
kansaw girl, who was sent to a St.
Louis school by the efforts of Cum
MINIS, and her "Pap", "Old Arkan-
saw" In St. Louis she made a shine
IN big society and was found to be the
lost heir to millions.
she was instrumental in bringing
about the capture of the mar who re.
ally robbed a train in Arkansas. and
who threw the suspicion upon "Old
Arkansaw" and Jim.
All Of the characters were we,l
played. The concert after the show
was fine, concluding with a one act
farce comedy.
Tonight the "Virginian" is the hill
to be offered. This is the banner
night OF the Swain week. Every
has read "The virginian" and will be
eager to see it played.
1t would not be right to mention
the Swain Shows and their success
without giving the credit to the man
to whom it belongs. He is the mana.
ger, and there is no one more ~clever
than he. The Swain Shows have al.
ways been popular with a large Nun.

We want warm clothing, for cold

a small matter, but to many poor, un-

very great matter. In your new win.

Java WANTS PROGRESS.
Modern Industrial Development Of ia

Modern INDUSTRIAL DeVelOpmeHt VI "a
pan Will Be Copied After.
The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. L.
(Cor. Associated Press.)|ava is
turning it's gaze on the enormous mod
ern Industrial development in Japan,
and asking why, with its 100000
/ Industrious people, it should not emu
late Japan. The Dutch Minister for
the Colonies charged Henri Hubert
van Kol, Socialist member of the First
Chamber of Parliament, with an in
quiry into Japan's industrial evolu-
ton and Mr.. a Kol's report strongly
urges that the japanese governments
many-sided activities in encouraging
and fostering the large industries
shall be adopted and improved upon
by the Dutch authorities in Java.
Mr.. van Kol shows that, while in
1890 Japan's export of industrial pro-
duets formed Is per cent. of the whole,
in 1902 this had risen to SO per cent.
and in 1918 to As per cent; whereas
agricultural exports declined from
SIG per cent to 37.8 and 35.7.
His main recommendation to the
Netherlands government is that a CEN
trail bureau for native industry shall
be established in Java, following the
example of Japan, which body would
further industrial development by the
gathering of data, by subsidies, erec-
ton of model factories and the like,
and incidentally by an inquiry into
the possibilities of silk culture in the
Dutch East Indies.
The theory OF racial incapacity of
adjustment to industrial conditions
has been exploded, says Mr.. van Kol,
by the experience with the Japanese.
Indeed, he regards conditions in Java
and the qualities Of the Javanese, "the
most docile people on EARTH" as in
many respects particularly favorable
to industrial development.
