Traversing, as it does, the lands o1

You can also buy them on easy

ANENT THE MOTION

At the L. & S Tonight.

Did you ever visit one of the old
prisons in Panama? Grim gray walls
of stone, and chains and leg irons
were plentiful before Uncle Sam as
sumed control of the Canal Zone. In
"The Ne'er-Do-Well' the interior OF
one of these old-time Panama prisons
is shown. Kirk Anthony, the ne'er-
do-well, following an exciting battle
with the police, is thrown into Pan
anna dungeon, where he is prosecuted
by the officials. The interiors OF
many quaint homes, interesting work
along the Panama canal, and beauti-
full tropical scenery, abound in this
Selig play, which is the worthy sue
cessor of that other Selig feature
"The Spoilers" Rex Beach wrote
both stories.
"The Ne'er-Do-Well" will be pre-
sented at the L. & S. theatre tonight

GREAT INTEREST
BEING TAKEN
BY VOTERS
GREAT INTEREST.

GREAT INTEREST. :. :. -. -.
Ballots were today being mailed to
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, so that time would be given
for studying the qualifications of the
% candidates for directorships in the
organization. The election, which will
take place Monday, is attracting a
great deal of interest and gives every
indication of being an event of de-
cided Importance to Ell Centre.
At the meeting of the board of di-
rectors yesterday, President Richmond
was authorized to name committee
of three, including the commercial sec
retary, to supervise the election and
have charge of the ballot box, which
will be accessible from a. m. un-
til 9 p. m. Monday at the office of
the Chamber of Commerce in the Bar
bara Worth hotel. At 9 o'clock the
ballots are to be counted. A polling
list of members will be available for
the voters at the office, and as each
member casts his ballot a notation
will be made in the same method as
in a regular municipal election Vot-
ing may also be done by mail.
Unusual interest is being taken in
the election of the directors for the
next year. The Chamber of Com
merce has established itself upon a
sound basis by much activity for the
past ten months and is considered
worthy of continuing the good work
with representative men of the city
in charge as directors.
The annual meeting, to be held in
the hotel ballroom at 8 o'clock, is
expected to be largely attended.

'The Devils Prize" at Palace. Sunday

"What profiteth it man if he con-
quer the whole world, if he loseth his
own SOUL"
With this as a basic motive, "The
DEVILS Prize" strikes deep into the
problems of modern life and home.
With a life creed of "your skin be-
fore mine," this scheming plotter, in
wreaking vengeance on others, has
the full measure of his sins fall on
his own head. Jealous is the Devil
of his prizes, and he guards his cap
tives enviously.
Antonio Moreno, as the star, with
Marguerite Bertsch as the director,
make this a feature of standard vi
tagraph value.
