LITTLE MAE MARSH STARS
IN "P0LLY OF THE CIRCUS

Polly of the Circus" is delightful
photoplay taken from the play of the
same name by Margaret Mayo, and
starring the "girl of a thousand

A fine star and a real story,-a
combination that is hard to beat. Add
to it a production ranking with the
most artistic and you see an attrac-
ton that is a sure-fire winner The
pathetic little story of the girl born
to the life of the big tops, who falls
in love with minister in the little
town in which she is injured while
doing her bareback riding act is prob
ably well known to most people.
Mae Marsh has the role of Polly.
One can think of no screen actress
better fitted for the part

story of the girl bareback rider who
knows no life but that of the circus
until she enters the home of a young
minister to recuperate from a fall,
made a big success on the stage be-
cause it had all the elements of ap-
peal. OF course, Polly falls in love
with the minister and he defies dea-
cons and other things to marry her.

spectacular production than the linn

CastlefOrd Red CrOss-Twenty-on
ladies of the Everywoman's club of
Castleford met with Mrs. A. K. Seav-
er, Tuesday, October 8 and enjoyed
a delightful luncheon and a talk on
Red Cross work by Miss M. E. Ham
lin, our former Red Cross secretary.
Miss Hamlin's talk met a real need
as Castleford is quite a distance from
Red Cross headquarters, and so has
not heard many speakers on the sub
ject. She handled the subject very
thoroughly, bringing out especially
the wonderfully interesting and the
touching work American Red Cross is
doing in the rehabilitating of the
French nation, resurrecting the aban-
doned farms to furnish foor for them,
and saving the babies and children
for the future France.

Wanted More Men-Sheriff Kendall
last week received a telegram from
Adjutant General Moody asking about
the possibility of additional men from
this county The telegram did not
directly request that Twin Falls adj
vance men ahead of it's quota and it
was felt here that so many have vol
unteered since the last call, that the
county had done its full share The
state is thirty men short and where
possible the department wants to fill
up by having counties advance some
men before their time. This county
has done its full share.

RecOnsidered- Although the school
board at the meeting Monday night,
decided not to temporarily suspend
Nthe high school in order that the pu-
bills might work in the fields and or
chards, the pressure for help became
so great that on Tuesday night an
other meeting was held and a two
weeks interregnum declared. The
same course has been followed in
ether southern Idaho towns and cit
les, and it seems to be entirely war
ranted by the needs of the hour. 1t
is thought that over fifty per cent OF
the entire working force thus lib
Grated are already on duty, including
corps of teachers. Even the director
of household economics accepted a
position to cook for a threshing out
fit-which certainly raises the pre-
sumption that Miss Young's culinary
education has been practical as well
as theoretical.
