"ToM" TAGGART PROVES TO
BE CONVENTION REScUER.

st. Louis.-Senator ''Tom" Taggart,
1ndiana's popular citizen, was one Of
the most-sought-after men In the con.
vention. Delegates who wanted "just
one more ticket for a friend" went to
Tom; newspaper men wanting favors
OF all kinds sought him out; officials
worried about arrangements poured
their troubles into his ears, and the
marvel Of It all is that none went away
dissatisfied. The Hoosier scion found
time and means to grant every request,
or. at least. pour enough oil upon the
troubled waters to send his visitors
away smiling.

General Interest in the "Man of SOr-

citation of Efforts.

Encouraged by the general interest
in their work as evidenced by the at
tendance at the production of The
Man of Sorrows" recently shown in
this city, the Pleasure Producers are
at work on a one reel comedy in
which they expect to eliminate GER
tain minor flaws noted in their first
attempt to place Twin Falls on the
map" through the medium of motion
pictures on the regular theatre cir
cults. They declare that they did not
have at hand the facilities which old
er companies with vast capital have
for reproducing scenes where the
photography failed to do justice, and
while they realize that the play will
have to be worked over at certain
places before it can be put on the
road, they feel that this is something
which was to be expected in their
initial effort.

MAXWELL MOTOR COMPANY
PAYS EMPLOYEES AT FRONT

Following the same patriotic i'm
pulses that caused him to originate
the idea of utilizing automobiles in
national defense plans, Walter f.
Flanders, president of the Maxwell
Motor company Of Detroit, has an
nounced that Maxwell employees en-
listing in government service for any
troubles with Mexico, need have no
fear regarding their Jobs" nor the
welfare of the families they leave be-
hind on departing for the front
According to President Flanders

months or more should feel free to en-
list for service in Mexico or on the
border, if he feels his country needs

trouble, the Maxwell company will

him, one-half the monthly salary he
was receiving on enlistment This
viii be continued for an entire year,
unless the government should in the
meantime adopt adequate provision
for the families Of those at the front.
Because of the Maxwell cOmpany's

GETTY BLAMELEss~ SAYS RAND.

A brief synopsis Of "The City,"
Clyde Fitch's masterwork filmed by
the World Film corporation, which is
to be shown at the Isis theatre on
Wednesday and Thursday, fails to do
justice to this melodrama of life.
The ambitious family of a country
town, eager for the wider horizon of
the city, are the characters of this
play How they attain their end,
through what an awful crucible they
pass, these are the things that make
the drama. A mere recital of them
would give no idea of the grim power
with which the dramatist unfolded his
theme. The summing up is not put by
the dramatist in the lips of his lead
ing character, who cries:
do not blame the city. It's not
her fault; it's your own What the
city does is to bring out what's strong
est in us. If at heart we are good,
the good in US will win; if bad, God
help us Do not blame the cityi She
gives man his opportunity; it is up to
/ him what he makes of it.
"A man may live in a small place
all his life-deceive the whole place
and himself into thinking he has goi
all the virtues, when at heart he's q
hypocrite; but the village gives him
no chance to find QUITO prove it &c
his fellowship small town is toe

There is no cessation Of the for
eign demand for dollar credits. No
sooner is one loan placed than others
are taken under consideration by the
bankers here. Britain, Russia and
France simply must have the credit
to finance the steady volume of pur-
chases on this side, if the war is to
20 ON. And as long as the struggle
continues additional credits are to
be expected, so long as this market
Is in a position to offer them. With
the $3.50, 100000 British collateral
loan only two weeks old, Russia has
made overtures for new accommoda-
tions. The latest negotiations apper-
tain to a loan similar to that ar
ranged two months ago. The amount
will probably be the same, $50, OOO,-
900, but that is not absolute. French
commercial interests are continually
arranging small credits with indi-
vidual banks here for amounts rang
ing from 100000 to $10,000,OO0.
No announcement of these is made,
as the public does not participate.
Credits Of this nature have been ar
ranged steadily since early in the
year, and the aggregate negotiated
under the auspices of the Bank Of
France and secured either by deposit
Of neutral securities, French short
term notes or by the guarantee of
French banking institutions must be
nearing $100,000,000. III most in
stances these credits have been ar
ranged for financing purchases Of
raw materials in the American
market.
