Hints to Movie Amateurs

r fOH FIIm FULL
 Balboa studio offers some excellent ''donts" for the consideration of the film struck. Here are a few of them:
 Don't think that a pleasant smile, nice teeth, straight legs and the ability to dance will get you into the pictures. All combined might get you in. but If you lacked certain other qualifications, they'd get you out.
 Don't think that stars are made over night Publicity may smear a girl all over the map, but if she stays on the map she must have star stuff in her.
 Don't think the movies need you They don't.
 Don't think the picture game a joy ride. It's hard road to success, just as is any other road to any success worth while"

PRACTICAL AMERICA AND THE FRANKLIN CAR

AMERICANS arc at heart A a practical people. 4 A There is something in them that responds to Thrift; something that makes them ashamed of cxtravagancc and waste.
 They may get off the track occasionally, but they always come back to the main road of efficiency and common sense. $500, GOO, 900 Wasted in
 Gasoline and Tires
 EOery Year
 The average American is busy. Outside his business he lets others do his thinking. He thinks with his crowd.
 He did this on motor cars. He bought dead weight and rigidity, ponderous machinery and big whcel-base.
 He luggcd around radiators and plumbing, a water-cooling system of l77 parts.
 He paid he price in upkccp and depreciation, tire dcstruc- ton, gasoline waste.
 It cost him in a year about 5000, 900, 900 and did not give him the comfort of the fcxi- ble, easy riding Franklin, with its 1OorAds record et'economy n cosf ef operation.
 There is no middle ground in this thrift question.
 A car has it-or it has not.
 Like easy riding comfort- if thrift IS there 1t proves itself.

Galveston. Tex.

Galveston, Tex.
 N WAY down here on the Gulf of
 M\ Mexico, several hundred miles AA west of the mouth of the Missis-
 sippi and in about the same lat itude as Cairo. in Egypt. lies a little is land which has become of great impor- tance on account of the war. The island is a spit of sand three miles wide and g little more than 30 miles long. You could walk across it in an hour and from one end to the other in a day. It lies close to the shore, and in one place so near it that a causeway, over which the trains go in three minutes, connects it with the mainland of Texas. The island lies at the mouth of a great bay almost half as large as the state of Rhode Island. It guards the entrance and thereby furnishes a harbor from which will go out vast quantities of goods to our allies in Flu rope.
 This island is Galveston Island, and the harbor is the chief export point for the vast shipments of cotton, which will be sent abroad to feed the textile factories of England and France and to supply the intuition plants of those countries. The modern soldier is largely clad in cotton; and it takes, it is said, one whole bale of 800 pounds, turned into explosives, to fire a big gun. Last year Galveston shipped between 2.0000 900 and 5000 GOO bales of cotton, and more than half of that went to England Notwithstanding the submarines the staple has gone forth in 8 steady and unbroken stream. Vessel after vessel, each carrying from 5000 to 10000 bales, has crossed the Gulf of Mex leo and made its way over the Atlantic to it's port of destination. The value of such cotton sent abroad last year amount ed all told to over $1S3, 600, GOO, and of that more than $40,000 600 worth has gone to Italy and France.
 Just now the business of the port is somewhat restricted on account of the war but when the season is on there will be 20 arrivals and departures of steamers a day. The wharves will be covered with cotton bales and hundreds of men will be packing them so tight into the holds of the steamers that upon starting out each will be a solid mass of cotton. The cotton comes to Galveston on half dozen trunk lines, which meet at the causeway. It crosses from there to some of the largest cotton warehouses of the world-ware- houses which cover a ground space of 90 or 40 acres and which during the most of the year are piled high with cotton. These warehouses are known as cotton presses. They can store upward of 100000 bales at a time and a white stream of these flores moves in and out of them all the year round. The most of these bales come from the cotton fields of Texas, which produce more of this staple than any other state of the

Take the tire question, for instance.
 If the owner of he0uy machtne uses his car as freely as the Franklin owner uses his scientihc-light-weight car, in three years he will buy jour 5ets ofch h,es to the Franklin's two-and the tires alone will cost him nearly hree t,mes what they cost the Franklin owner.
 There never was a more complete demonstration of a principle than the way every M,y7-yecoyd in the fine car class has been established by the FyankHn Car.
 Efficiency Standards

 Motor Cars
 GasoIinei Franklin Ma tional Economy Test, May 1, 1o14-94 Franklin cars in all parts of the country averaged BPS miles to the gallon of gasoline.
 And again May 1, 1915- l37 Franklin Cars, averaged 32.l miles to the gallon.
 And again in the Yale Uni versity Fuel Economy Test, when Professor Lockwood and Arthur B. BroWnc, M. E., established the fact that the Franklin Car uses less gasoline per mile than any other car with six or more cylinders.

 Poq0erl Efficiency Test by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute demonstrated thatthc Franklin delivered 84.4 per cent. of its engine power at the rear wheels.
 Tres! The National Tire Average of Franklin owners for five years is 1C,203 miles.
 Investmenf Talne! If you find a used Franklin for sale. you will pay tpenty per cent. mo,r Jor # than for any other fine car in proportion to its first cost and the use it has had. American Motor Cars Ca17y
 More People than the
 Railroads
 The more this country gets down to stern re4lifies the bigger place there is for the Franklin Car.
 There is nothing new in the Thrift of the Franklin only more people arc rccog nizing 1t.
 The Franklin owner has nothing to change. nothinx to explain or excuse.
 He is using his car more instead of less. because it is primarily a car of nfility, owned and operated on . 7hryf basis.
 It must bc gratifying to him that he saw these things betorr the call to the National Thrift.

VOL. 20, NO. Il.

With this issue of The News the
paper passes its twentieth an
niversary. Quite a large per cent
of country papers succumb before
reaching Vol 20, and knowing this
we are just little proud to own
paper that has been a useful factor
in the development of the com
munity for so long a time.
The present publisher of The
News has been steering the craft
for just six years, and not always
has the sailing been smooth, but
we've had Our fortunate breaks
along with much hard work; we've
made good friends and the paper
has grown in circulation and
prestige; we've been lied about and
misunderst rod when we were trying
to do the right thing. but we are glad
we are here, and just now when the
community seems on the point of
enjoying season of marked pros
peritv we feel disposed to feniain
and share it. at the same time do
ing our full share in the work Of
the development and improvement
of this section of Jasper and Barton
Counties.
There never was time when
The News was worth as much to
the reader and advertiser alike as
the present time We are printing
more advertising than at any pre-
vious time. the paper running 10
and IL pages right along. new sub
scribers are being added right along
and indeed The News is enjoying
her twentieth birthday.

Dear Friends:
] appreciate your kind words of
regret. that | am to quit business
10 Car thaee, great deal more than
the most Of you realize. as it is one
of the hardest things ! have ever
undertaken in my life.
You have seen me when a boy
going TO school, in the Id school
house, where that noble man,
Professor White, used IT, give US
boys and girls such good advice
how to grow up and be honest
men and women, and by following
his advice success was sure to fol.
low. and for which we learned to
love him dearly, because his kind
works sunk deep into our hearts.
To have this opportunity l cut
wood nights and mornings for
money to buy my pencils and
tablets.
Forced out OF school I began
work for E J. Kteider at SOC per
day where / worked seven years
the only job ever had and saved
money enough to buy me a home.
Then started in the repair bust
ness for myself with only small
kit OF tools. did the work salts
factorily. You, my friends, rallied
and came to my support and gave
me your work. and above all, en-
courage ment, and l began to han
die the goods. You compelled me
to move and get more room: did;
then again you wanted nicer goods:
| got them. You have pursued
me onward and upward and today
you will find one of the incest,
largest and most complete stores
in Carthage.
Friends. it is not because you
have not patronized me; have
worked hard early and late, but |
have done well. | have lots of
goods and it's all paid for; I have
money in the bank; by your as.
sistance have built up large
business by giving you better goods
for less money than you could buy
anywhere else. / ceret ainly thank
you all. ] can point you out by
the thousands. you are my Gus
toners and friends. | have a good
word and friendly feeling for you
all Some distant acquaintance
allow themselves to think | am
advertising to sell some goods, but
my friends know | am going to
quit, because Jerry N. don't have
to lie 10 sell goods, and when l an
nounced quit business, that mean
to quit. While l have to sacrifice
my good business, I think it best,
as | do great volume of business
every year, the present condition
of the price Of merchandise is to.

THE BLOOD AND
IRON" POLICY

Is important in peace as well as in
war. Every man and woman who
would be a winner and not a Stacker
should have the strength of iron in
the blood.
The new iron tonic, Peptiron,
combines this valuable metal in
medicinal form SO that it is easily
digested and readily assimilated.
Peptiron also includes pepsin, nux,
celery, gentian and other tonics, -
sedatives for the nerves, digestives
and carminatives - a health-giving'
medicine in convenient pill form.
Take it for anemia or thin blood,
paIencss, nerve debility, brain-fag.
One or two Peptiron after each meal
will quickly tell story of marvellous
results. Get it today.

A WHOLESOME PLAY
"My Irish Cinderella" at Opera
House This Evening.

Rouse MS Evening.
A good wholesome play with plenty
of action, comedy and romance, is
my Irish Cinderella which comes to
the Bennington opera house this
evening. 1t tells the story of the adj
ventures in this country and abroad
of Peggy Mcneil. little Irish girl
who has been raised in the poor
house She, of course, is not well
versed in the ways of the world but
her brain is keen and her heart is
true and she cleyerly distinguishes
between the real and artificial things
in life.
She has been taken to London by
the nephew of the Earl of Lonsdale,
who is plotting to get control of the
estates of the Earl and there are
scenes which are ALMOST melodrama-
tic in their intensity and which lead
to big climax. Every audience
which sees MY Irish Cinderella" fol
lows with closest attention the plot
against the Earl and the efforts of
the plotters to fasten crime on
Peggy.
Miss Daisy Carleton, as Peggy, has
been surrounded with an excellent
company of players, and big scenic
prediction is carried.
