Within a few days now, we have

will have just one more good reason
to believe guessing is bad business.
In these parts his guessing occupies
the same weighty place in peoples
minds that Mutt and Jeff. have when
they get into deep diplomatic chan

the newspaper that buys and displays
his disloyal, unpatriotic propaganda,
sells itself body and soul to the enc

conducted to safe conclusion the
greatest war this country was ever
engaged in. This man Simonds,
with several other propagandists in
Paris, is very busy putting a foul

SPEED CAUTION

Strangers who come into Cordele
and get out over the roadways are
being lifted" with a fierce precision
for alleged speed violations. They
are being run down with the wrong
sort of attitude towards the stranger
The Dispatch doesn't believe they
ought TO be handled differently from
other offenders when they violate the
speed laws, but it is wrong to get on
the very outskirts and spy out for
them. There is not the semblance
of sign where they can see for them
selves what the speed limit is They
run into traps set for them before
they ever suspect they are violating
the law. This is wrong.
The board of trade discussed this
thing seriously the other day and di.
rected that the secretary request the
mayor and council to put up limit
signs signs that would put the strap-
ger on notice. Tourists passing this
way were held up Friday. They ap-
peared exercising extreme caution

It is rather out of the ordinary for

yet this is the basic idea in Come

first time in Boise at the Majestic

Kerrigan has the role of Joe Smith.
the son of California oil millionaire
who has always looked upon his son
as a notable example of the modern
spend money-but not good for much
else. And when young Smith wants
a chance to prove that he has some of
his fathers stuff in him. old Smith
becomes angry, and, in the quarrel that
ensues young Smith announces that
he will go out into the big world and
make his own way, without the money
or the influence of his parent.

Margaret Ellington in THE Lie" and
Under Fire"
Fair and Warmer tells piquant
tale of how two highly respectable
young persons, one domesticated
husband with never a thought beyond
his hearthstone, and the other a
charming little wife whose whole idea
of life has been CLEANED from the tip
of mothers apron string, suddenly dis
cover that their respective marriage
partners have been having times more
gay than creditable, and, with equal
suddenness, decide to be revenged.
They can think of nothing better to
do than something as wicked as their
spouses have been guilty of-but hav-
ing no practice in wickedness they
find they can not aim it very we'll. All
they get is a heavy back fire.

FILMED IN sIERRAs
During the filming Of Children Of

Sierra Nevada Mountains in the middle
of the winter, the Mitchell Lewis COM
pany sustained the most disagreeable
hardships, and were showed in and out
of touch with the civilized world for
several days in the Yosemite National
park reserve.
At the start Of the picture, Mr.. Lewis
transported his entire company to the
terminus of the railroad At Fl Portal
then took them UP a s,000-foot cable
incline to the top of the ridge, and
finally over a logging road fifteen miles
into the heart of the mountains. Here
a permanent winter camp was estab-
lished, with bedding and equipment
supplied from the commissary Of the
nearest lumber camp. But the hunks
were less than yard wide. tho blan-
kets no wider, the nights zero cold,
the snow two feet deep, and the kero-
sene supply exhausted. Mr.. Lewis and
all the members of his company had
to go to bed to keep warm. and then
had to get up to get thawed out by the
tiny wood stove in each cabin. Just
as the picture was completed blizzard
came along and marooned the whole
assemblage for several days.
