Have you ever seen bad Vita
graph picture? No. All are good,
and some are better than others.
Manager Small of The Tabb, in ac-
cordance with his policy of showing
only : masterpieces on Saturdays,
has booked, one of the ''better''
kind, II Will Repay" Greater
Vitagraph production, featur-
ing Corinne Griffith, for next Sat
urday, March End. The following
from the Motion Picture Magazine
tells of the merit of this Greater
Vitagraph production:
at is the human touch, the O.
Henry story, that constitut. the
charm of the creeping pastel of the
Southland. Unlike the champagne
variety of celluloided drama, this
does not abound with thrilling
punches. The momentary wine-like
exhilaration is not there. The
pulses do not beat at greater pres
sure, but after the last human pic
ture has faded, one feels satisfied
as only a cool draft Of clear water
can satisfy desert thirst. Mary
Maurice as Azalea and Arthur Don
aldson as her old slave Caesar, who
gives his mistress every cent he can
make by running his dilapidated
hack, and who murders Major Cas-
well, the villainous, alcoholic hus-
band of Azalea in order to free her
from the Majors abuse, personify
the quintessence of artistic realism.
Corinne Griffith is very prettily
pleasing as a young Southern girl,
and George j. Forth, who furnishes
the other half of the necessary ro-
nance, is sufficient unto his part"

is sublime until it is known that
the person stands to gain much and
lose not at all.
Every worthy cause of the human
race is cursed with these fragrant
imitation men and women. They
ride every attempted reform to q
disastrous fall if it is in their
power. Reforms now in their in
fancy would be ancient history were
it not for their baneful influence.
In the old American game of
poker there is one practice known
as bluffing which returns good re-
suits if successful put over. There
is, however, counter practice Of
calling the bluff that sometimes
give amazing returns.
When you meet with one Of these
blatant patriots who only wants an
opportunity to end the war, "call
his hand"

INEQUALITY OF PRICES

In this era of high prices it be-
hooves every purchaser of life to
give the matter his or her best
thought, Perhaps no other one
feature of the times stands out in
holder relief than the great Unequal
ity in the prices of commodities.
1t is no uncommon experience for
a shopper to price an article at one
place, then go to another place and
find the price of the same article
either higher or much lower. There
seems, in fact, to be no established
values left, but in manly instances
the dealer is "out for all the public
will stand for"
Doubtless the uncertainty of pro-
curing supplies, coupled with the
interruption of transportation, has
something to do with causing these
conditions. More often, however,
it is the innate avarice of the hui
man heart Selling a favorable OPP
portunity.
These are days when the person
who must purchase the necessities
of life should exercise to the full
his or her shopping ability. Do not
be in hurry to accept the first ar
ticle shown, regardless of the price
We would not advise buying inferior
goods, but many times a substan-
tial saving may be effected by a
visit to a number of stores. Be-
fore buying such items as shoes,
clothing, and such things, one
should have a fair idea of the value
of certain grades of these oommod-
tiles, then refuse to be trimmed for
fancy prices because of an alleged
scarcity" There is no shortage
yet, at least not such as to warrant
exorbitant prices.

as well as war. The war has
greatly enlarged the field of our
custom, because we have taken the
trade of many of the warning coun-
tries, whose every energy is devot-
ed to war. 1t is great mistake
to suppose that all our energy is
being expended on war activities
Our production and manufactures 10
the arts of peace are far greater
today than ever before.
Peace, if it can be had with hon.
or, will be welcomed by every soul
in this country, because it will re
lease for the benefcient service OF
mankind, forces that now are EN-.
ployed in the arts of destruction.
1t will take generation for our
greatest efforts to place us back
where we were in 1914, as far as
concerns the available supply of all
the necessaries of life.
Peace, with honor, is the prayer
of every earnest soul in this
country.

BE GENUINE

What a great old world this would
be if all the expressed sentiments
of humanity were real, genuine,
sure enough what they profess to
be- But Satan originated the art
of deception back there in the in
fancy of the race, and he and his
minions have industriously perpet-
uated it. His amazing success is
due to his ability to, as the small
boy would put it "appear what it
amt" We now call it camouAage.
OF all the various brands of hui
man counterfeit, the demagogue
camouaaged as a patriot is the most
contemplate. Patriotism is a fine
thing, a sacred thing, but a coun-
terfeit patriotism is unspeakably
disgusting. Yet we see it all about
us, 1t mistakes noise for action
and words for sentiment. Its ON
niscience is equal to solving the
most knotty problems of the war.
Its self-sacrifice is capable of any
devotion-if the salary is sufficient.
Its remuneration is beautiful until it
is discovered that there is nothing
to renounce. It's devotion to duty
