FOUR ITEMS OF INTEREST
AT CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE LAST THURSDAY

and constructive meetings of the
Chamber of Commerce was held
at the Hotel Allen Thursday
evening, July "a.
A delightful luncheon was
served after which President
Curry invited everybody to feel
free to remove coats and be as
comfortable as possible. Nearly
all of the siXty-fve members and
guests present aVailed them
selves of the opportunity.
Sec. Williamson made an in
teresting talk on the recent past
business which has been handled
by the Chamber Of Commerce.
He announced that the special
program Of the evening was con
sidertion Of four principl
items, namely;
!. A report of the finance
committee and adoption Of plans
for raising funds for cancelIa-
ton of all out standing obliga-
tions.
2. To see what action would be
taken on the matter of a Farm
er's Bonded Warehouse.
3. To see what action the
house desired upon the question
of advocating the more eX-
tensive growing of peaches and
cantaloupes in this vicinity.
1. To listen to a delegation Of
Farmers from Plantersville and
determine what action the
Chamber Of Commerce would
take in the matter of assisting
in building an experimental
mile of graded road.
Items one was quickly dispos-
ed of and provision made for
the old obligation.
The bonded warehouse brought
out some very interesting dis
cussion and il developed that
the opinion Of all was favorable
to building it. The State law
provides that the farmers must
own sixty percent of the stock
and control the business. If the
farmers of this section desire
a bonded warehouse where all
products of the farm can be
handled graded and sold, then
raise the sixty percent and the
business men of Monticello will
cooperate with them by pur-
chasing forty percent.
Investigation and experience
teach that certain of our lands
are especially adapted to grow
ing peaches, cantaloupe and wat
ermelons together with various
vegetables. The Chamber Of
Commerce voted to lend its
moral and financial support in
favor of increasing the acreage
of these crops and establishing
here sure cooperative market
for car lot shipments. Commit
ties were appointed to confer
with the leading planters of
these crops as to their wishes in
the matter.
The last item was introduced
by DR.. S. A. Hoover of Planters
Vile, who in a few words made
3 1t plain that the people desire a
4 good road all the year round,
] passible road from Monticello
Through Plantersville neighbor-
mood to the Lincoln county line.
lie stated that the people of this
Ssectlon desired the cooperation
@of the people of Monticello. The
question of cost per mile for
good road of home construction
Oh one mile of test or expert
mental, graded, gravel surfaced
foad. The Chamber of Com
nerce agreed to this request.
u Several visitors present were
Introduced and responded with
appropriate remarks.

COMING TO THE PALACE
 TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, A BIG PRODUCTION

Coming to the Place Theatre for Tuesday, Wednesdds md Thursday is the biggest patriotic picture that the war has produced, "The Unbe- liever," presented by George Kleine,
 The story is one that carries q wonderful patriotic appeal. The bru- tality of the Hun is startlingly pie tured; the Marines are seen in ac- tion on the firing line. Your soul will be stirred as it has never been before, and your patriotic fever will rise to a boiling point.
 The pivotal character of the story is Philip Landicutt, young man of New Yorks wealthy leisure class, who is firmly entrenched behind class pride, race prejudice, and un- belief of the God of Christianity His virtues are passionate pity for the oppressed, a fine sense of chiv- airy that cannot contemplate a wrong unmoved, and the quick self sacrifice of youth. These redeeming qualities sweep him into the chaos OI war. III lue Wuitc neat ol oIu pendous happenings his soul is cleansed and he, emerges with the love of humanity which is the very essence of democracy.
 No one characterization makes the Unbeliever' one of best of the many war films. It is the combina- tion of story, war pictures and at mosphere that gives it such interest The war scenes were filmed at the Up:ted States Marine Corps canton ment at Quantico, under the direction of a marine officer. Hundreds of marines are in the drama.
 "The Unbeliever" is an adaptation of "The Three Things" a novel by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews and was produced by Thomas A. Edison in conjunction with the United States Marine Corps.
 Despite the increased cost of this production, the Palace management has decided not to increase the price of admission This feature ran two solid weeks at Jensen and Won Her bergs's Coliseum Theatre in Seattle.

ing of this picture the entire floor space of the Hart studio was occu piel by massive structure solidly built of rough-hewn logs. The story is laid in the Canadian Northwest and the building represents a com bination hotel, gambling house and dancehall that supplied all the re quirements of good shelter and amusement for the lumber jacks.
 Most of the scenes of the play arc enacted under this roof, and there is little of the wild, outdoor life usually associated with a Hart pic ture Instead of the familiar COW punchers there is a motley crowd of lumbermen and Indians, but it is claimed that even in these unfamiliar surroundings Hart loses not a whit of his effectiveness. and in his new setting gains in picturesqueness.

RICHES WITHOUT LOVE A MOckERY AS SHOWN IN ERICH MAN, POOR MAN."

Riches often prove galling mock cry when the possessor neither loves nor Is loved by some one. This truth is examplified in "Rich Man, Poor Man" the superb Paramount photoplay, starring Marguerite Clark. known far and wide to screen pat rons as "the sweetest girl in motion pictures"
 q regard the role of Betty Wynne, which I portray in this really splen- did picture, as one of the best I have ever done," said Miss Clark to an interviewer recently. Betty is a nice girl whose birth is enshrouded in some mystery, and she finds her self perfectly at home in the mansion of grouchy financier when she is introduced as his grandchild through forged documents of which she is completely in ignorance.

TOM MIX ON COWBOYS AND MEN WORKING ON THE BORDER.


 Tom Mix, the new William Fox star who is the hero of the photo play "Cupid's Round up," to be seen at the Palace Sunday matinee and Sunday night, is. from the great Southwest. He has every respect for any cowpuncher that has roamed the range anywhere but he is a man of the border country and he believes that it has produced the greatest cattle herders in the world.
 "The difference between the men of the Southwest and those of the rest of the great range country" said Mix, "is that the men from Texas and Arizona and New Mexico lived on the edge of the country
 Sometimes, as you know, the people just over the edge of the southwestern states were pretty near to being enemies. At any rate it was mighty easy for the bad man there to go from one country to another
 'This brought out rather different character than the Northwesterner displayed The Texas Ranuger was a result of tLis condition thing border condition had the effect of binding the American element in the southwest closer together. But a good cowpuncher is the same pret. ty much anywhere you find him It is only the little differences that lets me tell them apart"

Of course, everything ends happily, and the development of this attractive story, which is based upon Maximilian Fosters sue cessful novel, is responsible for many situations of real dramatic power.

until, unitedly, we went without meat
and wheat that others might eat. We
never understood our inalienable rights
Of liberty, equality and happiness un-
til, unitedly, we laid upon the sacri-
ficial altar our material ali, that our
brothers and sisters throughout the
world might taste of those rights.
And now we have self-sacrifice sup
planted by widespread profligacy; and
uncontrolled profiigacy always raises
the cost of things. At time when suf-
fering humanity needs our self denial
of the material and our uplift of the
spiritual more than ever it needed our
gunpowder and .bayonets, we are OBJ
sessed with profiteering, industrial
disturbances, race riots, and other
symptoms. We are looking into our
own selves rather than into the lives
of others. Our helping hand, former
" outstretched to the needy, is now
jingling what is in our pocket. or out
stretching for more. The vision Of a
common brotherhood born of a world
war is becoming dim, and we are put
ting aside the opportunity for wide
spread spiritual reinvigoration TO hag-
gle over trade rights, racial distinc-
ton and territorial boundaries, while
our statesmen sweat and pull and haul
over political advantage.
Certainly the only cure is to think
and do for something or somebody
other than ourselves.
The Redwood gazette., 1919-11-19

Two vastly important points have
been just demonstrated in this coun-
try; but there are two other points
that must also be demonstrated ia
preserve the balance Of justice.
The points already demonstrates
are these:
First-That policemen cannot strike
and canpot affiliate with labor organi-
cations in such way as to incur any
obligation to forget their duty to the
public. Boston and, later, Massachu-
sets have settled THAT point
Second That the whole people can
not be held up. and the government de-
fled, by any class or group, and can
not be denied the commodities and SER
vice upon which its life depends, by
labor extremists who prefer industrial
warfare to peaceful negotiation. The
ccal strike settled that point.
And these points also should be de-
monstrated as clearly in order that
there may be no unjust disturbance oi
the balance of equity.
First-That these restrictions upon
the right TO strike cannot be used by
selfish employers unfairly to exploit
and oppfesS labor.
Second-That no radical employer
shall be allowed to create reaction
that will tend to make all organized
labor suffer unjustly for the errors
of some leaders and some organiza-
tions.
And this is the keynote of the points
already demonstrated and of those
that should be demonstrated at once:
That America is America; that Ameri-
ca is just; and that the common pub
lie interest stands higher and shall
always rise supreme over the interest
of any class or group, because the
common interest," of the public neces-
sarily implies and embodies exact JUS
tice to all groups and all classes. -Du-

Theodore II. Price, the economist of
Commerce and Finance, declares that
neurosis is worldwide and especially
prevalent in our country The cure for
this disease is rest and diversion of
thought. The patient, he advises,
must be compelled to think about
something or somebody other than
himself. Both Mr.. Prices diagnosis
and his prescription are correct, SO far
as our country is concerned, at any
rate, And what's good treatment in a
clear case of neurosis is equally good,
or better, when the patient is in nor
NAL condition.
America accomplished wonders dur
ing the war period simply because, as
never before, she thought and acted
for others. 1t was her harmonious un-
selfish effort in common cause that
moved mountains It was Love ye

trine "Might is right" 1t was faith
that all men are created in the image

Memory.


i remember, | remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty-four,
And bacon fifteen cents pound
In those brave days of yore.
] remember, remember
When one could hire maid
For three or four or five week,
And when she came, she stayed;
But now they are naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine,
Who come to you at ten o'clock
And then at noon-resign.
remember, remember
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked them
to,
For life was simpler then,
But now, although your pipes are
burst,
And troubles leave you vexed,
You cannot get bit of help
Until week after next.

When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade;
But now. the times are altered,
And there is little joy
In thinking of how cheap things were
When l was but a boy!

THE AFTERMATH YEAR.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Three
of the Allied powers expect to be Of
ficially at peace with Germany when
the anniversary of Armistice day rolls
around. Although it may not be that
at so early date the United States
will change the trio into quartet, the
sentiment for speedy ratification is
rising impressvely throughout the
country. Moreover, the senators are
reported to be weary of ther own ex-
ertions and obviously the simplest way
to reduce them would be by sanction
ing the treaty.
Americans, therefore, need not feel
seriously uncomfortable about cele-
brating November IL. 1t may be pro-
fitable on that day to recall how few
of the calamities forecast were record
ed in the year following the stacking
of arms.
The huge German army on the wes-
tern front did not violate the arYnis-
tice.
In twelve months time Bolshevism
steadily lost ground in Europe.
No world revolution" eventuated.
The Paris conference did frame a
peace treaty and outline a League of
Nations.
Germany did sign up.
The kaiser was not restored.
All things considered, the happen
ings of year of aftermath are credit
able to civilization. The pessinist, of
course, may be expected to vilify the
international social structure in his
usual style-by excluding the salient
facts.
