Manager Barncord, of the new
opera house, announces shis en-
gagement of Mary Pickford's S
newest photoplay released by
Aircraft Pictures, "A Poor Lit
tie Rich Girl adapted from the
well-known book and play of the
same name by Eleanor Gates.
AS an ideal vehicle for Little
Mary" it is readily felt that this
story affords Miss Pickford one
of the best motion picture SUBJ
jects ever secured for her. The
novel by Eleanor Gates, of which
a special photoplay edition has
just been Issued, became widely
popular as did the play, which
scored a big hit at the Hudson
theatre, New York City, several
years ago.

MAXWELL FAVORITE AT
 ANNUAL AUTO SHOW

The annual automobile show opened at Grand Central Pal ace, New York City, on Satur- day, January 9th, presented an inspiring scene. Thousands of visitors were packed about the Maxwell booth where Francis Hugo, Secretary of the State of New York, arose to formally in augurate the show. The press of people was so great that only those in the very first row could see him and in response to the entreaties of those at the back he consented to mount a pedestal to deliver his address.
 Turning around, he asked permission to use Maxwell car from which to make his speech. Accordingly, a tour ing car was placed in position in front of the exhibit and once more the Maxwell name be- came a large factor in an epo- chal event.
 The outstanding feature of the show from the Maxwell standpoint was the enthusiastic reception accorded the new one ton truck. S

IN MEMORY OF ONE
 BELOVED BY ALL

When the Angel of Death passed over Williams early last Monday morning to claim a precious soul from our midst, the Angel could not have picked a life whose loss would have been more generally mourned than that of Allie" Montgomery. There are times when it seems that the Ruler of the Universe has need of the best that the world has to of fer and at those times it is that such as Allen Montgomery are taken. The works of God sur pass the understanding of man. We can but accept the will of the Almighty as just and best. We grieve at the parting, yet we should not forget to give thanks to the Creator for the sending of such a one to live with us even for so short a time. While the greatest sor- row and loss is felt in the home that reared this young life, yet so firmly had the cheery, clean and upright life of Allen Mont gomery fixed itself in the hearts of all who knew this youth, that it is as tho not one freside only, but many, had been robbed of a treasured presence. Pride of the Mont gomery home, the entire com munity, too, was proud of him. The future seemed full of promise for Allen, and the ripening of his young life into manhood, in turn, promised much for the community.
 Only two weeks ago Allen Montgomery walked uprightly amongsus. Now, we doubt not, in some other realm, this young life rests, called for a purpose, perhaps for a life of greater usefulness.
 Gone from among us, is this obedient and loving son and brother; this clean, upright and loyal friend-gone never to return to us here-but in memory he still is with us and shall be for years to come. Then slet us who knew this youth, consecrate our lives more wholly to the forwarding of the good in this world, that would have fiourished at his hand, had he but lived to exer- else the power and strength of manhood. May our hearts be kinder, our vision broader, our brotherly love greater in mem ory of this loved one, that, tho called from us, early in life, Allie" Montgomery shall not have lived in vain.

PROFIT IN SAGEBRUSH
Drug Company

At last a use has been found for sagebrush. Instead of be- ing a profitless cumberer of desert soil, it is found to be an asset. Our brush strewn west ern landscapes are really pot ash mines. A dispatch from Idaho says that the sagebrush is being used in large quanti- ties as potash material. The average acre produces three tons of brush, which burnt in the kiln gives 25 to 30 per cent commercial potash.
 The present value of the pro- duct is abnormally high, be- cause it is used in vast quanti- ties in war industries. There is a big demand for it, too, as fertilizer. This new industry is therefore proving a source of profit to Utah, Idaho and other western states, and incident ally promoting the clearing of brush land for irrigation or dry farming .-The Bulletin.
