WAR
PRICES
TO TAKE EFFECT NOV. 1st.

The average price of admis-
sion to motion picture theatres
in the United States fall from
40 to so per cent below prices
charged in Europe. The motion
picture has made giant strides
in progress and development
from the old nickel-0deOn to the
present motion picture palace.
The cost of the motion picture
has constantly increased. The
public demand stars who in turn
demand fabulous salaries. Thou
sands upon thousands of dollars
are paid for the filming rights
Of the best modern fiction; vast
amounts are expended every year
in striving after quality and
building wonderful studios. In
deed, everything mas progressed
rapidly in the industry, only the
price Of admission has remained
more or less nominal. With the
taxation put by the Government
upon every branch Of the motion
picture business and with the
increased cost Of film, the slight
increase in the admission has be-
come a question Of life and death
with the management of this
theatre. We beg to assure our
patrons that this slight increase
in the admission has been forced
upon us by stern necessity. AS
soon as the war is over we will
be glad to go back to our orig
inal prices.

WANTS INFORMATION GIVEN.
County Clerk Asks Stockholders OF
Corporations 10 Sean New Law.

County Clerk John Wall received
notice during the week OF an amend
ment to the present corporation act
which is now before the legislature

The proposed change in the law Is
the result OF the Dodge-Ford scrap.
II is as follows:
Section S9. No corporation shall
increase its authorized capital stock
or it's fixed capital Investments, in
whole or in part. directly or indirect
ly. from earnings or surplus accum-
mulated therefrom, against the OBJ
lection OF any OF it's stockholders,
unless there shall have been or first
shall be declared and paid for each
fiscal year of the corporation during
which such earnings. accrued or sur
plus. accumulated. cash dividends
out of the net earnings OF each fiscal
year of at least one-third thereof.
Stockholders in corporations should
write TO their senator and representa-
tive at once II they wish to prevent
the passage OF this amendment.

FEAST or THE PASSOVER.

The Feast OF Passover will be OBJ
served this year by the Jews OF Crys.
tai Falls from Friday evening, April
8, until the following Friday
The holiday is celebrated each year

from Egypt and the rule OF Pharoah
who had attempted 10 crush out the
race for many years Led by Moses.
who later directed them across the
desert, where they spent forty years.
the Jews FASTENED out Of Egypt in the
night They fed 70 the Red sea
where. according to the Biblical story
the waters split and they marched
safely across 70 the other side The
Egyptians attempting q reach them
were drowned IN the sea. the wal OF

MORE ABOUT OUR WHISTLE.
Mr.. Webb Claims That the Council
Didnt Follow Instructions.

Crystal Falls whistle promises 10
become as famous as Ben Franklin's
the only difference being that Ben
knew when he was stung and threw
his whistle into the drink. Crystal
Falls doesn't know if IL has really been
stung because the stinger is still
stinging.
II seems that the whistle wasn't set
up as IL should have been. The blue
print calls for the erection OF a tower
16 feet high on top Of the town hall
and on top OF this tower the whistle
is 10 be placed.
The city officials are figuring the
difference between the cost of erect
ing this tower or paying for the
whistle and then throwing IL into the
river Just as Franklin did. The
chances seem to favor doucing IT,
The claim is that the roof OF the
building takes away the sound that
the whistle makes. Perhaps that ex-
plains why the city hail Is so wide
awake these days.
