ANOTHER PERSONALLY
DIRECTED PRODUCTION
Harold Bell Wright Carefully Direct
ed Perturbation Of His Great Book
"The Shepherd OF the Hills,

The new screen drama "The Shep-
herd Of the Hills" will be shown here
three days beginning Wednesday. This
motion picture has been taken from
the novel by the same name, which
is said to be the most widely read of
any book by an American author. The
author, Harold Bell Wright, has d-
rectly supervised this production and
the tale Of the Idyll of the Ozarks is
most beautifully retold in these pic
lures. 1t is an intensely human story
in which tragedy, romance and COM
edy are skillfully blended.
In the lives of the typical noun
taineer characters, the world-old story
Of love, sin and suffering and forgive
ness is told and through it all moral
of manliness and honesty is held out
that seems to purify the story of tram
meled love on which the play is based
There is hate memorable, fear of man
and spirit, vengeance that has burned
a lifetime, love, human and divine, all
these in swiftly moving panorama
make this picture drama one of the
most emotional and effective that has
been produced in some time.

CHEAPER FOOD
IN KENTUCKY SOON

Louisville, September 15.-Cheaper
food for Kentucky within ten days is
predicted by w. o. Head, of the Gov
errors fair-price commission.
Lower prices, however, are contin-
gent upon housewives making a point
Of buying only from the cheapest gro,
GERS.
Many Louisville grocers are slash
ing prices and a noticeable reduction
already has been effected, Mr.. Head
said
Many grocers, however, have failed
thus far to make reductions and their
customers therefore have in no way
been benefited from the commission's
effort to reduce living costs.
Seek out the cheapest grocer in
your neighborhood and refuse to pay
anybody more than he charges" is Mr..
Heads advice.

CASEY RANKED HIGH ON GRID
Harvard Football Star Has Vet TO
Prove His Equality With Mahan,
Declares Critic.

Football scribes OF Boston and else
where are putting Eddie Casey OF
Harvard in the same class with Eddie
Mahan. Well, Casey Is good. there Is
no doubt about that, but 1t would be
as well to bide the passing OF Novem.
Der before placing him In the niche
alongside one Of the greatest. II not
the greatest, backs Of all time. says a
writer in IN exchange.
Casey, by the way, has already had
his blooding, metaphorically and liter.
ally. He participated In the Harvard
Yale 1916 game and In the first half
got loose and ran through pretty much
all the Yale team over a distance OF
some 80 yards for a touchdown. A
Harvard man. however, was detected
In the commission Of a foul and the
brilliant run went for naught. The
pathetic part Of 1t was that the run
was O affected n way or the other
by the foul. Then Immediately after
this hair raising dash Casey was called
