HARRY CAREY PROVES TO
BE BULL IN CHINA SHOT,

BE BULL IN CHINA SHOP
Famous Star Make. First Appear.
anee in Augusta Today in "Roped,"
a Universal Special. There's Pien-
ty OF Drama to 1t and Also a
Whole Lot Of Genuine Comedy
Augusta people do not yet know
Harry Carey except by reputation.
They have heard of him just as all
lovers Of motion pictures have, and
today they are going to have the
chance OF seeing him. for he is to ap-
pear at the Colonial theatre in the
Universal special "Roped."
"Roped" is a term used in the
west. 1t means that somebody or
something has been caught. "Roped''
the play deals with both the West
and the East. 1t also tells how
someone is caught. Perhaps it is
Cheyenne Harry; then again it may
be beautiful girl Of New York and
also it is the beautiful girls mother
ln-law. But, as a matter of fact,
Cheyenne Harry and his whole bunch
or hard-riding cowboys get "roped"
with a vengeance and what does it
come from. a wee mite of humanity,
a baby.
There is a great story to "Roped"
just as there is a great star in the
principal character. There are some
mighty big minutes in the produc-
ton, too. The theme of the play
centers around Cheyenne Harry who
runs the Broken Arrow ranch. He
and his roughnecks decide the place
needs the softening hand of a wom-
an so they advertise for one. Aileen
Judson-Brown is forced by her de-
signing mother to answer the adver-
tisement. She meets Harry. there is
mutual love and a marriage A baby
Is born. In the meanwhile. Mrs JUDD
SON. Brown, the mother of the young
wife, is taken in by a lounge lizard
and thinks he would make a better
husband for her daughter so she
proceeds to tell Aileen that Harry no
longer loves her, tells Harry that
Aileen doesn't love him and that the
baby is dead. Harry who has been
in New York with all this bad news
returns to his ranch. Not long after
ward. the butler in the -Judson-
Brown home telegraphs him that the
baby is not dead but has been hidden.
1t is then that Cheyenne Harry and
his men descend upon New York.
Things are Strengthened out delight
fully, but not until there have been
some mighty lively happenings.
With this skeletonized outline Of the
story. it may easily be seen what
possibilities the photoplay has. 1t is
one of the biggest and best things
Harry Carey has yet done and that
means that it is some big.
Billy Parsons-smiling Billy-is
also on the program today. The
famous fat funster will be seen in
"Circumstantial Evidence" a comedy
that gives him plenty Of scope for
making merry. A Photograph and a
Gaumont News special complete a
satisfying program-Adv.

ANOTHER NEW STAR TO
BE SEEN IN AUGUSTA

Augusta people may not be much
given to going wild" but they sure
are going to Wednesday when they
see Miss Mary MacLaren at the Co
lonial theatre. Miss MacLaren is a
newcomer to the Capital City, but
everyone who sees her is bound to be
victim OF "love at first sight" For
Mary is beautiful, astoundingly so.
She is also an actress, not an aver
age one. but ripping good one. Her
first Offering to the people of the city
is "The Amazing Wife," the story of
which is just as amazing and orig
inal as is the title. 1t is so new and
startling in its theme that it fairly
makes one gasp. Another big fea-
ture on the program Wednesday will
be the appearance Of Lila Lee in "A
Daughter Of the Wolf" a play of the
North, a d-'namic drama that will
make the blood tingle-Adv. :.

Surely Loyalty Month will be shown
in the continuous zeal for worshiping

stress a fundamental religious theme.

High Wages And Prices
Must Come To An End

Boston. Oct. 24.-Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer. speaking before

state house here today. demanded the
ending of the vicious circle of high
er wages and higher prices" and in
urging increased production, declared
"idleness a sin in this emergency"
or every 100 retail and wholesale
business men, he said. SO are taking
only a fair profit" Honest business
men. he continued. are asking to aid
the department In enforcing the law
against profiteering. so as to avoid
the public scorn which will come to
them as a class IL they do not drive
out every man who charges an unjust
and unreasonable profit"
Mr. Palmer declared this policy was
to be worked out through fair price
committees in every city and county
of the country.
1.-THE people," MIR. Palmer said.
find themselves chasing about in a
circle-high prices chasing higher
wages and higher wages chasing high
er prices for everything. The people
will get nowhere by continuing that
process indefinitely except to the point
where industrial disaster will over
take the United States.
$50 we have got to the time when
we must stop the operation of this
vicious circle. when we must ask the
patriots of America on every side of
the economic fence to halt in their
desires to better their own condition
selfshly and to look out for the in
terests of the whole; to hold the line
steady until the natural economic
forces begin to operate. production
begins to increase and the demands
of the public be met at reasonable
prices"

RATED OXEN ABOVE HORSES
Good Reason Why the Early Settler
Preferred the Slower but Safer
Method Of Locomotion.

The first horses imported into the
United States were brought to New
England in 1929. One horse and seven
mares survived the voyage. Horses
were not highly esteemed nor much
needed in America at that time mol
for hundred years afterward. There
were no race courses nor trotting
parks and the roads generally were 50
poor that speed was not desirable had
it been possible with safety. Oxen
were found to be much better for all
farm work.
Most of the land was rough, rocky
and full of stumps, so that oxen, be-
ing strong, patient and slow, made
much the better team for agricultur'
al purposes and numbering than did
horses, and they were cheaper kept
needing but little grain even when a,
hard work and none at all when in
pasture. They required no expensive
harness like horses, only cheap YOKE
and chain, and were quickly yoked.

ROYALTY AS A "SIDESH0W''
On Payment Of Small Sum All Whe
Wished Might See British Mon
arch at His Devotions.

George III was the last Of the Brit
ish monarchs to live in regal state al
the palace where the prince Of Wales
has taken up residence, says the Man
chester Guardian. After George had
abandoned st. James in favor Of Buck
ingham palace, he continued to attend
the services at the chapel royal. II
was here, as Fanny Burney relates
that the king stayed so long over his
prayers that "the queen and family
dropped off one by one, used to leave
the king, the parson and his majesty's
equerry to freeze it out together" An
eighteenth century guide book to Lon:
don informs visitors that at the St
James chapel royal, by knocking al
the side door and slipping shilling
for each person into the hand Of the
verger who opens it, you may have
admittance, and stand during divine
service in the presence Of their maj
estes. For, one shilling more each
person you may sit in the royal pres
ence, not in pews, but on turn-up seats
on the outside Of them"

Snakes.

II had been losing eggs for some
time, and had been laying the loss to
some hounds Of a neighbor, which were
frequently around" writes L. B.
Holmes in Boys Life. perhaps some
of the loss was justly laid to them.
Zone night I found only one egg
In house where I thought there
should be quite a number, and was
just leaving the house when discov-
cred a black snake about six feet Jong,
with a knot or bunch in his middle
that looked as if it might be an egg.
I killed him and carried him to the
dwelling house, where I opened him
to get the other egg. 1t proved to
be a glass nest egg. 1t had probably
prevented his escaping through the
hole he entered the hen house by, and
50 proved a snare for him."
