ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Dongs in Mercer County's Busy Capital
New Delivery Schedule.

The new truck dalivery system
planned by Aledo grocers will take
the field for the first time next Mon
day. The new system has been plan
ned as a means of cutting down the
expenses of delivery and as a mutual
benefit in other ways to the grocers
concerned and to their customers. The
three trucks will leave all the stores
at a given hour, as listed below, and
each will be given a certain route to
carry, this route to be the same each
day. In this way the housewife will
very soon learn at just what time to
expect her groceries to arrive. 1t
will be necessary for those wanting
groceries to order them early in the
day if they would receive them before
afternoon. The hours of delivery will
be as follows. Trucks leave all stores:
Morning, S, $50, 1920; afternoon,
2:30, 4:30.
Orders placed after 1880 a. m. will
not be delivered until the $50 trip.
Orders placed after 4:30 p. m. will not
reach the purchaser until the first
morning delivery.

AT SPENCER SQUARE.

"Pasquale," with George Beban as
the featured player, is to be the offer
ing tonight and tomorrow at the
Spencer Square. Pasquale, genial
honest grocer, is working hard to pay
for his small business. For then. he
will ask Margarita to be his wife. Mar
garita, the orphan that he has raised,
has eyes only for Charlie Larkins, a
cheap small-town sport. Martinelli,
the Italian banker, is one of Pasquale's
best customers. Martinelli's beautiful
wife. feeling neglected, allows Bob
Fulton, young man-about-town. to
become quite infatuated with her. Pas
quale is too bashful to propose to Mar
garita and confides this to Colombo"
his faithful horse. The result is that
on Margarita's birthday, Pasquale
places his quantity written proposal
beneath her upturned dish. A trifiing
incident changes the whole course of
events and prevents her from finding
the note until long afterwards. BY
then Pasquale is fighting desperately
on the Austrian Italian battlefield.
Both Pasquale and Martinelli, who is
also reserVist. are wounded in re-
pulsing an attacking Zeppelin and re-

AT THE MAJESTIC.

THE Little Girl Next Door" will be
presented by Manager Quinn at the
Majestic tomorrow, Friday and Satur-

it was recently shown in Chicago Kitty
Kelly said in the Tribune: Eureka,
They have found it. The good folk
right illumined, have discovered what
the public wants, thus scooping all of
the professional movie makers in the
land. The value of the discovery is
demonstrated daily at the La Sale the
atre, crowded to the iron ratings and
standing them out in the lobby at in
tervals. Though it may have been
suspected, now we know, through the
inspiredly philanthropic efforts of the
good ones, just what the public will
swarm to see. Judicious extractions
from the report of the Illinois vice
commission, which investigated busily
in 1918, provide live scenarios without
end Other producers of underworld
films have battened against the cen
serial barrier, and their murders, alb
auctions, and other red light thrills
have been so much wasted film, so far
as Chicago is concerned. But the mys-
terious interests back of this produc-
ton we're wiser. They enrolled every
available city and state officials and
all our best known reformers on their
cast. Would Enormous william per-
nit a film TO be barred by the censors
which shows him and his aids appar-
emily cleansing our fair city and which
by sub-titles made him one of our
great reformers? Not Williamt He
had Corporation Counsel Ettelson. who
also appears in the film as a douser Of
the city's red lights, render an opin-
ion and that settled it The producers
were enabled to shower on the city all
the film sordidness that the unmanip-
ulated censor board has barred dur
ing the years of its existence. Along
with the white slave incidents, OF

commission in session, the vice COM
