One would think that the real
basis OF value would be the cost OF
transmitting human energy into arti-
Giles OF trade and commerce. But no.
that mort honest OF all human activ-
tiles Is made subject to the specula-

Of demand in society.
1t is not in industry that the trou-
BILE lies, but in those regions beyond
where men lie in wait to seize the
fruits OF industry and create false
scarcities for the sake OF arousing
an anxious demand for things which,
normally, are and ought to be acces-
sible to all who engage in daily pro-
ductive pursuits.

have as intelligent an idea of the
cost OF that days work and the pro-
Fit 1t ought TO bring as any manu-

The problem becomes more COM

He is a citizen, contributing to his

How are you going to figure the

the man for his work, but how much
does that work owe to his home?
How much to his position as a citi-

the work in the shop but his wife
does the work of the home, and the
shop must pay them both; on what

'Thc Ghost of Slumber Mountain" is
Most Remarkable Picture Ever
Filmed.

An attraction that positively contra
diets the statement so often used
"there is nothing new under the sun"
will be shown at the Orpheum thea
ire on Monday and Tuesday, when
World Pictures will present "The
Ghost Of Slumber Mountain" This
is one-reel super feature that never
in the history of the motion picture
has there been seen it's equal for orig
inality and novelty. If it were possi-
BILE to look back million years one
would be able to see the counterpart
Of the interesting subject matter Of
this extraordinary one-reel photo en-
tertainment. The gigantic animals
that lived at that ime have been re-
created and are shown as they lived,
as they foraged for food and fought.
If the famous water hole picture
shown in Paul Rainey's African Hunt
attracted world wide attention, then
the thrilling fights between the mon
sters who lived when history was but
in the beginning must exact a higher
toll of public attention. Never in the
life of man has there been the equal Of
this wonderful exposition of animal
life as it existed in prehistoric times
as is shown in "The Ghost of Slumber
Mountain" The most noted archae-
ologists of America vouch for truth

Herbert Dawley, who has given US this
wonderful picture, is established for
