ION'S THiI.ATIIif.

In a story that ranks a3 one of the greatest works of fiction, and with q supporting cast possessing names that read like q benefit per- formancc, Miss Anita stewart returns to the ranks of screen stars at I0OH'S thcatCr today, in "NirtUouS WivcS," adapted from the book by owen Johnson. Miss Stewart plays the part of Amy Forester, young wife, who occupies herself during an enforced period of separation from her hus- band by flirting with the various men who surround her as 90 many satcl- lites It is merely innocent, "virtuous fiirtinG,' as Irm9, Dc La Barre, her model and pattern, takes particular pains to tell her. No harm will come of it. But some harm does come. And it comes chiefly because the husband in the case happens to be d sane, hard headed man. 'Virtuous Wives is a story of sophisticated SO cietN, a society that persists in s]lat- ing o"cr the thinncst ice, and has been lavishly produced. Miss Stew art is delightful to look upon, and is ably supported by an all star cast, consisting of Edwin Arden, who dc 1ineates tho character of d married man who feels no sense of obliga- ton in his welded life.

KNOW YOUR CHILD.
(By Dr. J. H. Francis of the United

(By Dr. J. H. Francis of the United
 States Bureau of Education.)
 No two children are alike, not even twin sisters. Any effort to make them is wicked and wasteful. Courses of study administered to all children in the same way are destructive of orig -inality and initiative. Uniformity of treatment is deadly and deadening. Every normal child has possibilities in some things. To help him to dis cover and develop them is the great est service society can render him and itself. To study about a child is not to know the individual child. Ira ditions, customs, preconceived noL t1ons of habit and conduct must be subordinated if not eliminated while studying the child. Fraternize with him, associate with him, be & good fellow with him and study him. But do not let him know you are doing this
 There Is no other study so fascinat- ing, so absorbingly interesting. Study . I him. He will surprise you every day with what he knows and can do Really he will teach you some things worth knowing, that is if you are in q mood to learn.
 First of all the child is a little ami lHdl. I1e He6QS 1oOd nt to eat, clothes fit to wear and a house fit to live in. But he is also eminently spir- itual and needs spirits fit to associate with.
 The child learns as naturally as he eats or grows. Thus he needs mental food. Also if he does not thrive on that found in the home or school change his mental diet It will do him good and may help you
 Fear is one of the most with ering curses of all ages. Don't try to scare him. Cultivate his hope, faith and courage. He will need these qualities later. The fact that they are rare does not lessen their value.

 "Of course, l do not know that find s1ng Harry was his reason,' she said, ''but l am led to believe it from things he had said and written to me. And then the fact. that only a few
 days after the disappearance of Dicky and Harry behind the lines he got himself transferred to the corps of entertainers with the army of occu-

 Did he write you that he was going into Germany" I asked.
 "No," she returned. "Thc last letter I received from him was writ ~Sen weeks before that. But"-shc

 I wondered if Lillian suspected the Tanatical intensity of this feeling toward her erstwhile husband which the devoted artist possessed.

With troubled eyes I watched her aS Sne paced up and down, her arms hanging loosely at her sides, but her fingers clenched in her palms I knew that she was consumed with emotions that would have beaten to the ground a weaker woman, but I also knew that the rapid, sinuous pacing was my friends invaria ble method of getting herself under con- 1 trol, and l waited silently, patiently, l until shc should of her owwn volition l turn to me.
 1 At last, as her pacing brought her near the cleverly concealed wall safe 1 in which she kept her most valuable ! things she suddenly swerved, un- , covered and unlocked it, and took from a box within a folded paper. 1 With it in her hand she came back to mo and threw it into my lap. 1 Tho Answer.

 My Dear:
 There is,~, of course, no appeal from your decision. l bow my head to it, realizing that either you must 1,o1 ,ic+., ,l-o, mo before I came over, or that I mis- understood your meaning. If you had ever really experienced the feel ing you professcd at that time you could not, even for the sake of your fetch duty, so deny yourself and me now. There is only one service I can render you. From what I have learned the world is not safe for you a present. It never will be safe as long as one condition prevails. TO make the world safe for you, my dear, is my one purpose now. but in carrying out that purpose l shall lose my chance of ever seeing you again. Faithfully,

 I read the letter twice, laid it in my lap and stared at Lillian.
 What do you mako of it?' she asked

Betty's knock sounded upon the door. Lillian mOtioned to me to open it. As l obeyed her I realized that the door bell had rung a minute or two before, but that we had paid no attention to it.

Looks Good for Owners.

On April 4, 1919, an experienced oil com
pany paid $4,000 for 100 acres adjoining
and offsetting the municipal tract.
BUYERS Of these lots will be able to OIL
set the municipal site and, in event OF a
Strike, can cash in at big profit.
SPECIFICALLY, your lot is worth 5000
solely as building site.
GENERALLY, the influx of population
will increase its value without effort on
your part.
PROBABLY, as an oil or gas lease it will
return many times its cost. Similar condl-
tions at other points have enabled owners
of single town lots to retire with enough to
live in comfort the remainder of their days
POSITIVELY, 33S lots at this price and

COUNTY CLERK WRITES

Walters, okla, April 10, 1919,
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that | have bought two
lots in the Porter Addition of the Town OF
Walters and expect, when conditions get nor
NAL, to build home on same.
In the opinion of the writer the lots are
worth all that the company is asking for
them at this time and further it looks like
good business proposition to buy the lots to
hold as the town is building very rapidly
and this is the nearest addition to the town
proper being only three blocks from the main
street
The location for the municipal Oil we'll is
on the tract adjoining this addition on the
