COLO FOUND in TIRE CUT.
Odd Discovery Made By Goodrich Man.

Montana.

Prospectors are hitting the trail OF
an automobile tire today out in the
Northwest as the result of an odd dis
covery by w, B. Stewart, Manager of
service at Goodrich Branch at Spo-
kane, Wash. Mr.. Stewart was in
speeding a few days ago an old tire
received from Kalispell, Mont, and
noticed that neglected cut had adj
mitted small quantity of black sand
to the interior of the casing. AS he
examined this sand, 10 and behold
his eyes fell'upon some cleaning yell
low grains. An expert of long ex-
.perience was consulted He pro-
nounced the grains to be pure gold
declared furthermore that the proper
ton of yellow metal made the sand
especially good pay dirt.
1t is his surmise that the sand
worked into the cut in the casing
while the tires were blowing across
some stream or through lake or river

"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
COMING TO REPUBLIC
Margaret MayO's Celebrated Play Made
Into A Remarkable PbotO-Spec-
tacle, Starring Mae Marsh

"Polly of the Circus" Margaret
Msyo's world-famed classic of the
; Big Tops and now converted from
the celebrated play into a tremendous
photo spectacle, comes to the Republic
Theatre Saturday, Oct. 6, as the first
of the eagerly awaited Goldwyn Pic
lures. After an absence of almost
an entire year from the screen, Mae
Marsh, who won worldwide popular
ity in 1.-THE Birth of a Nation and
Intolerance, comes again to greet
her huge throngs of admirers in one
of the most beautiful and elaborate
productions ever made for the screen.
Polly of the Circus" was directed by
Charles Koran, virtually newcomer
among directors, and the magnificent
settings and artistic details are the
creation of Everett Shinn, the noted
artist
This production lierally sbounds in
sentiment and thrills for people of all.
ages There is remarkably exciting
morse race, the reproduction of an
entire circus performance, including
all of the animal and riding acts; the
arrival of the circus in a village at
daybreak and its departure in the
night; the burning of the main tent
md the stampede of the audience.
And there is love story of greater
charm and beauty than you have ever
before seen on the screen.

News of the coming of crowned
head could not have caused more ex-
citement at the lockwood Inn, Della
war Water Gap, than the heralded ar
rival of Valssks Suratt, the William
Fox star, to make scenes of her latest
photoplsy "WIfe Number Two"
The woman guests were particularly
expectant. In the first place they were
to have a chance of seeing the ia
nous actessr; in the second they were
to have a chance to gather enough
ideas for gowns to last them q life
time.
Feminine interest in the stars COM
ing ran riot when, day before she
was to arrive, twelve huge trunks were
brought to the inn consigned to Miss
Suratt
If these women expected to he
surprised they were not disappointed.
They were all lined up for her when
she made her first appearance the
morning after her arrival.
Miss Surrat didn't wear a glittering
creation of the White Lights. She
wore an ordinary walking skirt and
sweater. And she continued wearing
this or a similar costume every min.
ute she was at the resort except when
at meals or acting. She did spruce
up bit for the dining hall. but out
side of that never. She was there to
enjoy every hour not taken up by her
work. Walking, golf tennis and rid
ing were more to her taste than Civ
ing fashion show.
As for the mystery of the twelve
trunks; they contained Miss Suratt's
costumes for wife Number Two"
and although they were not strictly of
the variety expected by the curious
guests they were elegant enough to
lessen their disappointment.

amazing and intricate setting effects

The play depicts the adventures of
lite Thelms and her playmate, George

mysterious land of Nod, where dance
the elves and fairies through great
woods of majestic splendor Caverns
of glittering crystal and luminous
pearl, fountain showering diamond
sprays, great castles with jeweled

He may Drawer WELD the saber

May sustain him in his duty.

SELECT MORE SEED CORN
Five Reasons For Doubling Supply

Of Agriculture.

Five reasons for selecting and saw

corn in the localities where the corn
crop is maturing in good condition,
are put forth by the United States
Department of Agriculture for the
consideration of farmers in state
ment issued recently. The Depart
ment believes that much more than
the usual acreage of corn will be
planted next spring and that now is
the best, surest. and easiest time to
get the necessary seed. The five rea-
sons for increasing the seed corn
supply are
l. First-class seed corn is scarce
almost every spring
2 Extended paintings and replant-
ings practically exhausted the hold
over supply last June
g. In some sections this years
crop has been destroyed by drought
or early frosts Farmers of these sec
tons should now arrange to secure
seed from localities possessing eli
matte conditions similar TO their own.
T. In the loca titles favored with
crop this year, next years crop may
be destroyed. and there should now
be selected a supply of locally adapted
seed for 1918 and hold-over supply
for the 1919 planting.
5. Hail storms. floods, and droughts
yearly destroy millions of acres of
young corn, making second and third
plaintigs necessary. Seed corn deal
