known that Los Angeles is in the midst of oil fields.
 Information from the Standard Oil company's headquarters in Phoenix. shows that the rate from Los Angeles to Phoenix in tank car shipments is S3 cents per 100 pounds. A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.6 pounds, and the freight is therefore, 515 cents per gal lon on a tank car basis. Shipments in iron barrels due to the weight of the barrels average in carload lots. eight pounds to the gallon, or 6.6 cents per gallon in freight shipment rate so that those who have been trying to figure why there shou1d be the differ ence in price existing can for them- selves figure the reasons.

PICTURE MAKES HIT

The big audience was highly
pleased last evening at the Rex when
Norma Talmadge appeared in "The
Secret of the Storm Country" She
will be shown again in this big Sc
lect Corporations feature this eve
ming. Miss Talmadge, one Of the
greatest emotional actresses Of the
screen, portrays role in which mo-
Their love is the supreme issue. With
her depths Of feeling, her extraor-
binary mobility and the ease with
which she can step from pathos to
fun, she makes Of Tessibel, the squat
ter's girl, one Of the most compelling
figures in fiction.
Tessibel, known to the country
side as Tess, is the daughter of Orn
Skinner and the idol of the despised
squatter village, known as Squatter-
town, on the stormy shores of Lake
Cayuga. Tess, whose father is serv-
ing a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary, has lost her heart to Frederick
Graves, a divinity student whose
mother has high hopes for him of
a wealthy marriage. Frederick,
equally in love with Tess and fear
ing to brave his mothers displeasure
has persuaded her to consent to a
secret marriage.

Mad Artists.

Quite a number Of eminent artists
have been victims Of brain disorder.
Sir Edwin Landseer, towards the
close Of his life, showed signs of In
sanity, while the eccentricities Of Tur-'
ner were quite Of the insane order.
Amongst other eminent artists It
might be mentioned thar Sir Thomas
Lawrence suffered from symptom Of
brain disorder; David Wilkie lost
power Of attention, and Ultimately had
nervous seizure which made his
speech incoherent; while Romney suf-
fered so much from the hallucination
that his talent would desert him that
at the height of his fame he thought
Of relinquishing his art altogether. 81,

ELKO TONIGHT

The old and very wise proverb
about Satan, and his habits of find
ing mischief for idle hands to do, is
the basis for Madame Petrova's most
recent Paramount picture, Exile -
in which she will appear at the Elko
theater tonight and tomorrow. The
production was especially arranged
for her by Charles E. Whitaker from
the book of Dolf Wyllards. Dealing
with little band of expatriated Am
orleans in an Asiatic colony, and in
Guiding it's thrilling and very dram
attic love theme, an up-to-date rom
ance of politics and romance.

"The COnuueror."

The millions of admirers of stall
wart William Farnum, the famous
Fox film star, may look forward
with keen anticipation to "The Con-
queror," a massive and thrilling
William Fox photodramatic romance
based on the life of one of Americas
frontier heroes, General Sam Hous
ton of Texas. which will be seen at
the Rex theater tomorrow and Fri
day.
The first announcement Of this big
production carries with it the facts
that it was directed by r. A. Walsh,
producer of "The Honor System" and
other Fox pictures of extraordinary
merit, and that in the course Of it's
production, "The Conqueror" made
use of several thousand Indians, Mex
leans and live stock; that the battle
scenes, in which a hundred cannon
were used, are tremendous; that the
love story is one of infinite charm
and that the dramatic action builds
to a climax calculated to make every
spectator gasp for breath.
With these advance facts, one may
indeed be prepared for film sensa-
ton when the talented William Far
UNI steps into the screen in the role
of the celebrated Texan hero. In the
picture Sam Houston is first shown
as a diamond in the rough, living
among the Cherokee Indians and in
different to the call of his white
brethren. But when he meets the
Tennessee Rose, played by the lovely
Jewel Carmen, Houston undergoes a
complete reversal of form.

GET YOUR HUNTING LICENSE

Col Tim Birmingham, State CANT
and Fish Commissioner, was in Mex.
leo this week from Jefferson City, ana
arrested j. NJ. Ward, of Mexico, fol
hunting without license. Mr.. Ward
was caught hunting, and had the goods
On him, as he had already killed -four
squirrels. The prisoner was ~arraign-
ed before Justice Of the Peace Wayne
and pleaded guilty. His fine was as
sesed at $3.50.
Mr.. Birmingham says that he is 60
ing to see that the game and fish
laws of Missouri are enforced. If
Mr.. Ward had been a reader of the
Ledger, he might have saved $3.50,
as Deputy Game Warden Hill, of Lou
isiana, was in Mexico last week and
announced in the Ledger that there
were a large number of people in Au-
drain county hunting without license;
and that if they did not secure licens-
es right away, they would be prompt
ly arrested and severely fined. It
SO queer that there are so ma
ny people in this world that haven't
any idea of obeying any Of the laws.
Constable At Brown is Deputy Game
Warden and you had better secure
your license; as you know Mr.. Brown
is not blind either constructively or in
any other way, in either eye.

q = cordial goodbye by one Of the
largest crowds ever gathered at our

from Audrain. but those on the train
from St. Charles. Warrenton and

spirits; and while they were impress
ed with the Importance Of the occa-

fore them, they are true, patriotic
and loyal, and u stay-at-homes have
a right to be proud of our boys who
are proud Of the country and willing
TO maintain Jul freedom, which makes
it the greatest country in the world !.
If there was anybody anywhere
around, that felt like a Convict" ii

BRYARLY SAYS CAMP
LIFE IS GREAT

The following interesting letter
from Camp Funston gives an inter.
estng insight into experiences the
members of the new National ARMY
are undergoing. Roy Bryarly, who
wrote 1t, was one of the first of the
local contingent to go to camp and is
IN line for a non-com office.
Dear Mitchell:
CAMP FUNSTON, Kansas, Sept.
p, 1917. We are enjoying the
Ledger so much. We are having n
great time and some wonderful ex-
Periences, but nevertheless we are al
ways glad to know the things Won
folks are doing at home.
For the past two days we have been
working day and night getting ready
and handling the new men who are
coming into camp. They made us
crawl off u hunks yesterday morn
ing at 3 o'clock, and as we walked
OUT OF the squad room we saw 30 men
standing there who were to be added
TO Company A four company They
had been up all night and sure were a
sick looking bunch.
We proceeded at once to give them
cold shower bath, issued each Of
them a new suit Of o~veralls, fed them
breakfast. They were then sent ove-
TO the disPensary and given their
first typhoid shot. l sure did feel
sorry for them, but you know, Mitch.
after they are here a week or ten
days they'll really enjoy this army
life.
/ wish had the time to tell you all
the things we've been doing, but it Is
almost time for the light to 20 out,
50 | guess I'll have to say goodby for
this time. Please remember me to all
my friends and keep up the good work
Of sending US the Ledger. Yours.
ROY BRYARLY.
