is the largest and most deliberately
up-to-date of its kind in the world.
Figures in connection with it are i'm
pressive.
The new Bevo bottling and shipping
plant represents an investment Of mil
lions. It is eight stories high; covers
two whole blocks; contains twenty-six
acres of floor space; has a capacity
of 1000, 900 bottles a day and thirteen
railroad tracks in the basement that
accommodate 100 freight cars. The
operation provides employment for
about $500 persons.
From which it is clearly to be seem
that the popularity Of Bevo locally is
assured, and that therefore the local
Bevo distributing agency is a valuable
business asset.

The story tells of the love for
Merridy, a pretty young schooi teacn-

honest John Gaylord, and gambler
Dan Bennett. Both become suitors Tor
the hand of the maiden. Bennett wins
her almost against her will. and Gay

who accuses Gaylord Of the crime,
after the latter has fled with the
Benefits little daughter, that she

surround her.
The child, "Necia," grows up in the
belief that Gaylord is her father, and
an Indian squaw, with whom he lives.
is her mother. To the district comes
a company of United States soldiers.
and one of them, handsome young
Lieutenant Burrell, loves Necia. who
worships him. But the Indian blood
that is supposed to run in her veins
is "the barrier between them. Pole
on Deret, a big-hearted Frenchman,
also loves the girl, and it is through
his nobility and s~elf-sacrifice that
happiness comes to the girl and her
~soldier-lover, after many exciting .ex.
periences for them all. The arrival
of Dan Bennett, his recognition of
his longlost daughter, the renewal of
the contest between him and Gaylord.
and the participation in the plot of
a number Of other characters cause a
succession Of happenings that pro-
duce thrill after thrill. There are
several "man-to-man fights, and
many scenes of sentiment and humor.
The mountain, desert, lake and river
scenes are beautiful and picturesque
and the difficult characterizations are
carried out in an able manner by a
carefully selected cast. Mitchell Lewis
is particularly effective in his por-
travail of the lovable 'Poleon, while
Mabel Juliene Scott is first the moth
er and then the child, acting both
parts with feeling and emotional
appeal. Other prominent roles are
we'll acted by Russell Simpson, as
Gaylord; Howard Hall, as Bennett;
Victor sutherland Il ei,sss as Lieutenant Bur
rell; Edward Roseman, as nunn,vn,
and Mary Kennevan Carr, as Alluna.

Buildings NEEDED SHOULD

JJMRER DEALERS IN BIG MOVEMENT URGE
PROSPECTIVE BUILDERS TO TAKE ADVANT
AGE OF PRESENT LOW PRICESE-"MORE
BUILDING NOW PER WHY WA1T!"

"Will prices be 'lower-can they
be reduced unless the manufactur-
ing and handling costs are reduced?
In my opinion, nothing less than a
general panic will bring them back
to old levels. The law Of supply and
demand unquestionable is at work as
usual. If the demand falls off SO
sharply that there is an oversupply,
there will be a reduction. The same
has been the condition and is today.
Plants that have an output Of hun
dreds of carloads per day, have been
able to ship only a few or two cars
a day on account Of the car shortage.
The plants have their books covered
with orders. They under the same
overhead in operating costs that
there would be if they were shipping
their capacity. Do you think they
will reduce prices under these condl-
tons? With a million men going to
war will labor be cheaper? What
ground have we to dock for lower
prices On anything? Even govern
ment regulations doesn't seem to
make living cheaper.
"Let us face conditions as they ex-
list: The world is at war-every con-
dition is unusual-wages never were
so high before in the history of the
country-there are no idlers.
"Bank are at the highest
figure known-16 billion dollars in
the June report. Deposits in ma
tional banks are 16 billion dollars
an increase of 2 billions IN a year.
All along the line, there are new re-
cords in every department of banking
and the cities are prospering as new
er before. This is exceptionally true
whsrever there is manufacturing.
"Aad the farms! They are prosper.
ing beyond their expectation with h;o
crops to cash IT, l.. az the highest prices es
Icy ever drew.
"These conditions will last while the
war lasts and then think of the re-
building and the enormous demand
abroad for all materials!
"Don't waste time thinking about
high prices-compared with all other
things, building prices r not high!
Get this idea in your mind; you can
get more building now per dollar than
any other commodity you know of"
More building now per dollar-why
wait.
Local building men in starting their
active campaign to start backward
construction have adopted the slogan
"More Building Now Per Dollar
Why Wait!"
Summed up, the reasons for why

riotic time to build needed homes, fac
tories, additions, barns, and other i'm
provements are as follows:
% The saving. A 800 increase
of building material as compared tc
the SOC to 5000 increase of nearly
all other commodities. "More Build
ing per Dollar"
(2) The certainty based on actua
economic conditions that present
price levels will continue during the
war and for a long period thereafter
(3) The likelihood of a rise il

THE MEN WHO CAME BACK.

This last drive has brought the
Huns back to the trenches we took
from them a few years ago. re-
member the wheat fields we drove
them out of not far from Albert on
the Somme.
In 1916 they thought they were set
tied until they were ready to make
a victorious advance. They had cul-
tivated the land back of the lines and
l don't doubt that their officers had
fresh vegetables daily from their
gardens. We never knew ourselves
how we happened to take that second
line trench, but after that, it was
easy picking to get them hiding be-
hind the grain they had stack ready
to gather.
On the 18th of September we had
orders to GO over the top at Courcel-
lette. The Germans fought from
their gun positions in the foundation
of an old sugar refinery, and our bat
TALON got pretty we'll mixed up with
the trenches. But we took them and
we held them. While we were con
solidating-it was really more like
digging in-we heard "For heavens
sake, look what's over there!" We
had heard about the tanks. There
were three of them webbing in and
out of the shell holes toward the Sec
ond line, and splitting fire at every
thing in sight. Some of the Huns,
about a dozen or so, ran forward and
tried to disable "Champaign." They

. with the butt ends of their rifles.

sight, and then with one impulse ran
forward. Before we knew it we had
