Bryant Washburn, one OF the most
popular stars on the screen today,
has a double role ideally suited to
his unusual talents in the Pathe
Play comedy drama, "Twenty-one"
at the Liberty today and Thursday.
It is a lively story of love, mistaken
identity and amusing situations.
Mr.. Washburn plays the part Of
Jimmy Mufferton, who tires of his
aunt's apron strings upon reaching
Carey, a rising young pugilist.
On Jimmy's twenty-frst birthday
the young man cashes a check for a
thousand dollars and starts forth
alone to seek adventures. In the
quest OF adventure the goddess Of
chance leads him to the back gate
Of Battling" Dave Carey's house.
Amazed by the fact that Dave is
exactly like him in appearance,
Jimmy persuades the pugilist to
trade homes and identities for forty
eight hours.

main purpose, the building up of
their own bank accounts, It is
proven when the league will bring
dnto our towns such men as this
Socialist, Mills, and pay him $1,000
per month"; of the farmers money,
to talk dissatisfaction and doubt OF
our present government. Yes, pay
this former Socialist leader, and
as am told the records show him
a promoter Of strilSes-pay him
$1,000 a month to tell the farmers
that they are being robbed by the
government. That Is what he means
when he says the government makes
laws for the benefit OF the rich to
rob the farmers.
Who robs the people? Who
will admit that he needs to pay
this thousand dollar a month

Covering Up

Farmers of Cass county are. taking
more precautions against hail this
year than ever, according to w. r.
Tucker, Cass county auditor. Mr..
Tucker said today<th that he has issued
nearly as much state hail insurance
SO far this year as he issued dur
ing the season of 1917. Most Of the
farmers Of the county have excep-
tionally large crops in this year and
they are taking no chances on being
hailed out.

OF the great forests. There he meets
his brother, who had once sinned
against him. He meets also a rough
forester who is doing his level best
to see that Barney's brother is put
out OF the way.
The conflict between these three
men, with two women embroiled in
its complications, makes one of the
6astest-moving pictures ever shown

make life more pleasant for the
farmers, and all other working men.

growth OF the Nonpartisan league,

and kept on furnishing it until was
convinced that they did not intend
to be honest with me, when I refus-

Both of the service bureau men told
me that the league would put up
one-third Of the money and see that
