PALACE THEATER.

Small-tOWn life as it actually is not small-toWn life as we find it in hCtiOn--is seen in Select Pictures latest special attra action, Break the News to Mother," which comes to the Palace theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Dave Bray, the small-town boy with his petty troubles which to him seem like a gigantic mountain, his sweetheart Ruth and his widowed mother, whom he worships with a love stronger than all the powers of the earth, constitute the principal characters of this charming story whose heart interest will hold you from beginning 10 end In Break the News to Mother" we are given an inner view into the lives of three kinds of people which go to make up the population of any small town. There IS the millionaire, the man who prac- tically owns the town; the middle class man who always seems to have enough money, although no one knows where he gets it, and the poor man, usually clerk, whose income forces him to appear parsim onious in the eyes of the world.
 Delightful, charming, typical small town life, Break the News to Mother' will charm any audience.
 Other photoplays include a new episode of "The Red Glove" and a Imaginable L-KO Komedy. The vaude- vile to be presented for the first three days consists of three acts that will be pleasing. The Carmars offer a. hoop-rolling novelty; Dow and Young present songs and stories, and Hv- land, Grant and Hyland are a very capable trio.

 Revelations 0f q Wife

until l say ready Madge." he ad- monished, fumbling With the hand kerchief.
 I obediently kept my eyes closed until my husbands rather theatrical call of "ready." When I did open them, it was upon the sight of big touring car with the beautiful lines and appointments characteristic of the costlier machines.
 Out From Silence.
 Apprehension mingled with the first flash of pleasure with which any woman views a new automobile. Ihls must be the surprise, and from the bantering remarks l had gathered that Dicky and Alfred Durkee were joint owners of tho machine. l knew that our circumstances didn't warrant the purchase of such a car, and the knowledge took from me all the pleasure I would otherwise have cN- perenced at the sight of the car.
 You wasted your effort. Mrs Graham doesn't seem to be over- whelmed either by surprise or pleasure.'
 Rita's Browns drawing, ironlcal tones were like the touch of a whip lash. I would not permit her to imagine for one moment that I didn't wholly approve of my husbands pur- chase With little exclamation of pleased surprise which directly ad- dressed Dicly and ignored her re- mark as if I had not heard it, 1 moved toward my husband clasped my hands about his arm.
 I i1 h III Si3 st a l. ly. Isn't it wonderful? You fairly took my breath away with the sur prise of it. Is it really ours, in part?"
 I caught a flash of relief in his eyes, saw that he too, had observed my momentary hesitation. Then he bent his head fondly toward me, laid his hand for an instant over mine clasping his arm.
 Tt belongs to you and her little ladyship over there," he said "Alf and l are simply the chauffeurs. So you really like it?'
 Like it?" I threw all the ferlor I could manage into my voice and smile. "It's a dream fulfilled, dear, When may we try it?"
 I could not forbear a swift little glance, to all appearances casual, at Rita Brown. She was watching me closely, her face still holding it's cool, ironical look. 1 knew that I had not deceived her, that she had read cor rectly my dismay at the sight of the costly car. But I also knew, and hugged the knowledge to me, that I had scored heavily against her fem mine cattishness. She is the sort of woman who cannot bear to see any thing masculine devoting himself to anyone else when she is present.
 Dickys absorption in my approval, his cool ignoring of her sarcasm, must have been about as palataDle to her as the traditional diet of gall and WormWood.

Near Flood At OuarrieS.

A leak in the dam at the Cement Plan
a few days ago found its way to the
quarries and threatened to food the lat
ter as practically the whole stream found
its way through the subteranean passage.
Hundreds of sacks of sand were thrown
into the opening to no purpose. A Golfer
dam was constructed around the opening
but owing to cave-ins this too did not
have the de sired effect. Finally the
breast of the dam was dynamited which
drained the water and the channel was
diverted around the opening. The dam
or lake was constructed in the early his
tory of the Plant but on account of some
change in the plans was never used for
the purpose intended. The quarries,
which are about 100 yards from the dam,
are considerably lower than the stream.

A Delightful Country.

Col. Geo. F. Landers, U. S. A., who
has had charge of military affairs in the
Canal Zone, Panama, for the past two
years, states that the Zone is most de-
lightful place. The climate is not Excess
sively warm as people of the north are
naturally led to believe. Everything in
the zone is under government control and
sanitary conditions are the best. No flies
nor mosquitoes are there to modest.
Thousands of concrete tennis courts
abound amid we'll kept lawns and golf
course has been constructed. The best
of roads have been constructed, and ev-
erything made to add to the comfort of
10000 or more government employees
along the canal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. During his stay in the Zone, Col.
and Mrs. Landers resided at Quarry
Heights at the Pacific Ocean end of the
Canal. AS Col Landers views it. the
Canal Zone is destined to become great
summer resort before many years pass.
During the war extraordinary precau-
lions were taken to guard the Canal. both
by army and naval forces. and also by
air service. The men under command of
Col. Landers have been recognized by
Government as extra good shooters"
but as much as they longed for an enemy
vessel as target, none came their way.
One of the disappointments in Col. Lam
ders life came when he learned he could
not cross the seas and help put Kaiser
Bill and his forces out of business.

the 25th Anniversary of the Thurmon,
High School Alumni Association, and as
fitting celebration of the event mem.
orial tablet to the memory of deceased

names of Frederick White, Ephriam

Col. John R. Rouzer.
The service for the occasion was held

Of Mr.. White and Mr.. Jones. the
speaker knew but little, but of the re-
mainder, many little Incidents occurring
in his boyhood days were recalled and
told in vivid manner, especially did he
recall how Mr.. Boblitz told him how to
pronounce Chicago, how Mr.. Creager
talked to the little folks, how he labored
daily to be good and not meet the big
stick kept by Mr.. Landers in the desk
II, the old Academy room, how Prof.
Martin influenced him through teaching
an example to seek things of high moral
character, how he always looked up to
Col. John R. Rouzer as man of exem-
plary habits and whose counsel could be
safely followed. All of these he honored
for their worth to the community, TO r
what they did for the cause of education
and for their moral influence in the COM
munity.
At the close of the address little ISIS
Dorothy Wiseman, granddaughter of
the late VIM. M. Martin, unveiled the
tablet to the view of the audience.
"Auld Lang Syne" was sung by the
assembly after which Rev. Heimer pro-
nounced the benedction.
