Marshalltown Times Republican:
Is any good reason to be given why
we should insist on being worked up
to pitch of enthusiasm and hurrah
before we consider buying bonds
Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: The
people in whose hands lies the gov
eminent of this country are the
voters. 1t is up to each voter to
study the political situation earnestly
and to vote honestly and intelli-
gently. Otherwise he is Stacker of
the most despicable kind.
Carroll Herald: Perhaps Jeanette
Rankin was the best woman Montana
had to send to congress. However.
the republicans of that state think
that there are men in Montana bet
ter suited for the senatorship. Miss
Rankin was not man enough for the
job.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The flour
trust protests to Hoover because
small country millers are making
more profit a barrel than the big
fellows. Isn't that just like the old
hog which always squeals when
little runt Of a pig gets into the
trough!
Waterloo Times-Tribune: One thing
about the American soldier that as
tonishes our allies and enemies alike
is his. rifle shooting. Never before
in this war have troopsn in the midst
of battle, been known to stop, take
careful aim and pick off their enc
mics, one by one.
Manson Journal: Jim Pierce is now
finding out just what people think
of him. He is paying a high price
for it, but possibly it is worth all 1t
cost. 800
Waterloo Courier: Perhaps DR.. Gar
field framed up this little frigid
period, with the cooperation of the
weather man, just to give the pro-
crastinators bunch that now is the
last call for filling that coal bin.
You remember the parable of the
half dozen virgins who neglected to
visit filling station until after 6

ing, of handsome. fun-loving young
Irishman--so Irish that he still speaks
with a quaint brogue-who pulled
himself into stellar prominence in mo-
ton pictures by his own boot straps.
Less than six months ago, after Tom
had been starred in a picture made for
sale at price which assured that it
would be seen everywhere by any one
who could afford ten cents and the
war tax, he was engaged by Goldwyn
as leading man for Mae Marsh in "The
Cinderella Man." In the critical re-
views of this production published in
the newspapers and motion picture
magazines Tom Moore's work did not
escape notice. In some he was awarded
equal honors with the star.
1t was foregonc conclusion, then,
that Tom would be liked in his next
role, which was as leading man to
Mabel Normand in "Dodging a Mill

1.-THE Danger Came" starring Madge
Kennedy.
Through these four productions Tom
Moore built up large share of his
popularity with the public of the
United States and through 1t with the
exhibitors, the men who cater to the
public taste. They wanted Tom Moore
as star, and they didn't hesitate to
say so. Since the exhibitors furnish
the money with which producers make
their pictures, there was nothing to do
but grant their wish.
Toms first Goldwyn starring vehicle
is Gust For Tonight" romantic
drama Of the adventures Of e gilded
youth whose polish turned to rust in
twenty-four hours. 1t is by Charles A.
Logue, who not long ago was reporter
on the staff of The New York Trib-
une and who since has become one of
the most successful and popular
writers for motion pictures. Gust For
Tonight" is being directed by Charles
Giblyn. 1t Is nearing completion at
Fort Lee.
