St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1918-06-28


The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child
will grow up in ignorance who
can be taught TO appreciate the
home paper. IL is the stepping
stone Of intelligence in all those
matters not TO be learned in
books. Give your children n
foreign paper which contains
not one word about any person.
place or thing which they ever
saw, or perhaps ever heard of,
and how can you expect them 10
be interested? But let them
have the home paper and read of
persons whom they meet and
places with which they are
familiar, aud soon an interest is
awakened which increases with
every arrival of the local paper.
Thus habit of reading is form,
ed, and those children will read
the paper all their lives and be.
come intelligent men and women,
a credit TO their ancestors,
strong in their knowledge of the
world as il is today. Exchange.

BREED THEATRE
Double Feature Bill For Today and Saturday-Franl< Keenan in More Trouble, and Peggy Hyiand in The Other Woman, Features.

Today and Saturday the Breed will present a bill that is positively the best of the year. and is headed by Frank Keenan in his greatest screen triumph, More Trouble This is the ricture that was ;auded to the skies by every protoplay critic in New York when it had its premiere a few weeks ago in the famous Rivoli theatre on Broadway. There is q certain fresh ness of novelty to the theme of this photoplay that makes it amusing ev- cry foot of the way. and reveals MT. keenan in a humorous role quite diff ferent from the serious character parts with which he has been iGenti- fled in the past. The plot revolves about a college boy of seemingly ex- emplary habits. whose return from school is followed by a deluge of bills, indicating anything but a quiet career at college. His fathers drastic treat ment of the bill collectors involves his own business in difficulties. and only an unexpected denouement saves him from disaster Beautiful Peggy Fly land is also seen in Paul Armstrong; s greatest Broadway success, The Other Woman, and the Hearst Pathe News completes the bill for Friday and Sat urday. This unusually attractive bill will be shown at the regular prices and all picture lovers should take ad- vantage of the opportunity of wit messing the finest bill of the year.

If you can keep your head when all about you
 Are losing theirs and blaming it you; -z. If you can trust yourself when all doubt you,
 But make allowances for their doubting, too; If you can wait and be tired by waiting,
 Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating And yet don't look too good, talk too wise If you dream-and not make dreams your master; If you thnk-and not make thoughts your aim, If you meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; ;4> If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken
 Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your life to- broken And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you make heap of all your winnings,
 And risk it turn of pitch toss. And lose, and start again at your beginnings
 And breathe a word about your loss: If you force your heart and and sinew
 To your turn long after they gone, And hold on when there is nothing in you
 Except the Will which says to them: Hold on." If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
 Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch If neither foes loving friends hurt you
 If all count with you but none too much If you fill the unforgivng minute
 With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.
 And-whch is more-you'H be Man; my son!
