l.. Moore, of Brookings. wa3 today
granted a pardon by Gov. Norbeck,
upon recommendation Of the state
board OF pardons.
The murder of DR.. Moore attracted
wide interest over the state owing to
the wide acquaintance of the victim

title under which Harry Purdy tells
how he earned and saved money for

I'VE are in war. That sentence is
not fully realized by a large part of
the citizens of the United States.
This war must go on, although ii
takes large sums of money daily to
keep 1t going. And who is going to
pay for this? The citizens of the
United States are, but how? All the
taxes, tariffs and collected
by the government go to pay for the
war.
THE following are some of my
ways of earning money to buy these
stamps: | pounded rugs, which gave
me blisters and made me sweat like

HAPPINESS THEME
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS IN MIR.
FTX-IT" AT THE LYRIC FRI
DAY AND SATURDAY.

In his newest ~photoplay, Mr.. Fix
It," Doglas Fairbanks has an unique
role which. it is said, affords so many
surprises as to entitle the portrayal
to the distinction of being not only
one of the best In which this athletic
star ever has appeared, but one
whose spirit is distinctly new in pic
ture photography. From the slums
In which Mr., Fairbanks battles des-
perately with gangsters and slides
down the side Of a house on a clothes
line to an aristocratic home is only a
casual step in this picture.
Ii is Mr.. Fix-It's" theory that
happiness is a habit and that real
happiness comes to those who make
other people happy. In pursuance of
this idea, he enters the divided home
of persons of great wealth and smil-
ingly proceeds to fix things physical
and mental. which in his judgment
are in need of repair. There are two
pretty young women in the party
who, although engaged to be married,
are kept in hot water through fear of
their future as the wives of their re-
spective frances.
The genial heart-fixer gets busy
along original lines when he learns
the stories of the young women, and
he is involved in serious trouble
through his unique methods, which
shock and amaze all with whom he
comes in contact. But Mr.. Fix-It,'
after many rebuffs which sometimes
Jar his pet theory to the breaking
point, energies triumphant, smiling
and happy. Many of the situations
are quite humorous, and all who
know Mr.. Fairbanks volatile nature,
may be sure that in this poratrayal,
ii is not subordinated to other ron
s~ideratiOns.
Mr.. Fairbanks Is ~excellently sup
ported in mr.. Fix-It," which Is to
be shown at the Lyric theater next
Friday and Saturday. The cast in
cludes many screen favorites such as
Wanda Hawley, Marjorie Daw, Cath
crime Macdonald, Frank Campeau
Leslie Stuart, Fred Goodwin and
others.
