Mary PickfOrd
lnSpIendid Play

The bill at Valhalla theatre tonight
will be Trouble Makers" a Fox
feature.
At Minden Saturday night Mary
Piekofd will be featured in dual role,
the title of the play being Stella
Maris," o film version of Mr.. Lock S
celebrated novel, and also interprets
the part of Unity Blake, an uncouth
character who is introduced an an in
mate of an orphan asylum. AS Stella
Maris, a paralytic heiress, surround
ed by every luxury wealth can COM
mand, and protected from even the
slightest knowledge of worldly things
the comparison with Unity Blake pre-
sents a startling contrast. Later,
when Stella Maris has her health re-
stored and learns of the poverty
misery and crime existing in the world
which her Imagination had pictured
as idyllsc 1t proves SO strong shock
that her life is threatened.
Through an amazing chain of cir
cumstanees the two girls-the Ugly
Duekling and the delicate and beauti-
full Stella Maris-love the same man
and then comes a supreme sacrifice
the giving of Unity Blake's life for
the man she loves and for Stella
Maris
The portrayal of two characters SO
vastly different by Mary Pickford will
probably stand as a wonderful achie-
vement in screen art.
An Arbnckle photo-comedy is bound
to be amusing at all times, but Good
Night, Nurse" the latest comedy
featuring Mr. Arbuckle, will round
out the Minden program and is de-
scribed as being "screamingly funny
In this picture Mr.. Arbuckle is seen
as a conviyial fat man. who after a
night out, is sent to sanitarium by
his indignant wife. He has side
splitting adventures in this institu-
ton, all of a character calculated to
make patients of the spectators.
Sunday night at Gardnerville Nor
man Talmadge will be seen in 1.-THE
Moth" while Fatty Arbuckle will be
featured in Good Night Nurse
Next Wednesday special feature
The Barrier" by Rex Beech will be
featured at the Valhalla.

MASON VALLEY
FORGING AHEAD

G. c. Emmerson, editor of the
Mason Valley News, and Mr.. Smith a
prominent merchant of Yerington,
spent several days in Carson Valley
this week in the interest of the But
ner riding hay rake. About fifteen
of these ra'kes were sold here last
year and the gentlemen, who are
interested in the company, were get
ing in touch with the owners of the
rakes to ascertain the results obtain
ed They found only praise for the
Butner rake.
strong company has been organ
lied and the rakes are to be manu-
factured in quantity production at
some point on the Great Lakes. Sew
eral improvements have been added
to the rake and 1t is pronounced as
being one of the greatst time-savers
to be marketed in recent years
Mr.. Emmerson speaks very enthus-
'iasticaly for the future of Mason Val
ley and believes that the Walker river
irrigation project to be the greatest
step forward taken by the people in
Smith and Mason Valley in recent
years In the course of but a few
weeks over $50 desert land entries
were made in Mason Valley. New
people are coming into Yerington
and everybody is looking for land
Not in sense of homestead entries,
but land that will be irrigated by the
storage system. Alkali Lake offers
splendid opportunity to empound the
flood waters of the West Walker river
and in sugicient amount to irrigate
thousands of acres of land.
For many years the Mason Valley
section has depended almost entirely
upon her mining resources, but as
time goes by more attention is being
given to the agricultural possibilities
of that rich section. While Mason
Valley is an old farming district, it
has not developed as rapidly as in
some sections of Nevada However,
reconstruction has been going on
there for the past several years and
land owners are devloping their hold
ing along the same lines as found IN
Carson Valley With the new irriga-
tion project assured, that Valley holds
rich promises for the future.

was under the car, which finally hit
against tree where it hung. To the
surprise of the Judge he found his
son practically uninjured and while
the car was wreck they were both
glad to escape injury.

to the trees where it landed will be
