FOX'S THEATER.

One of the best a1l-around pro- grams, both pictures and vaudeville that the Fox theater mana cement has presented this, season, opens today for the balance of the week. The featur- ed screen production is '"Thc OutcaStS of Poker Flat" a graphic and gripping perturbation of Bret Harte's virile western drama of the same name. The star of the picture is Harry Carey who has so endeared himself to thea- tergOers the country over for his strong and masterful chara cterizations of western roles. He plays the part of Square -Shootin- -'Lanyon,' an ec- centric gambler, and the part fits him like a glove. The story is full of dra- matic situations and tense emotions, and builds up to one of the most un- expected and thoroughly exciting eli maXes ever woven into a picture.
 Another double item of the bill is the opening of one serial and the final closeup of another. Ruth Ro- land, who has been startling Fox pat rons for the past IA weeks in "The Tigers Trail,'' will be seen in the last chapter of that splendid serial, the title of which is "The Tiger Face" in which the many mysteries are all cleared up, and the villains routed forever. '"The Great Gamble" which is said by those who have seen it to excel anything ever before attempted in the serial line, has it's formal open ing today. Charles Hutchinson, the male star of "'The Great Gamble is destined to be a revelation. He out does all of his predecessors, and some of the stunts he performs seem to be well-nigh impossible. His co-star, Anne Luther, rivals him in her feats of courageous daring. The Pathe News and Mutt and Jeff will also be seen.

My Dearest Dolly:

BenJSVlIle,- 1nuTSQdy. My Dearest Dolly: It is clear as day to me. I get perspective on this affair of you.I with Captain Wallis that you are toe close to grasp. He is not in love with you, dear. That is, he is frs. of all in love with his work Everything is "copy' to him. - !. Not that he Is a bad sort; he is not He is a gentleman and scholar Btu you and every other interest is scconC with him to his profession. He cX- presses himself in that letter you quoted as a novelist would-a sort oI emotional license. He means nc more than that he is grateful with ali his heart for your help. He appre. ciates you as charming young woman and as Ian unusual type" But that is all.
 You might make him fall in love with you if you pursued him faI enough and diligently enough But Dorothy darling, few women are sat isfed with a marriage brought about that way. And surely you would net be, for all your wild scheme of going afield in search of Fate.
 
 suade you to spend the rest of youI summer out here in sweet old Bentsville!
 There are some nice men here truly. There is a big Westerner who is bossing the work on Sledden'5 dam up the river. He is staying with Aunt Cynthy. And there are two city boys camping in the old mill. They've go it fixed up too cute. And they have d canoe and everything.
 Of course, there's no use my telling you how we miss you. Randy Lewis bushes to the roots of his hair when ever he sees your picture Or hears anyone mention VOL. And Phil Nes- sen, at the drug store, who'd lay his life down for you any minute if you'6 only look at him. is real handsome these days with his hair graying and d little weight taken on. But you wouldn't marry a widower with two children if he was the last, man on earth, I suppose. Mabel Harriss is angling for him with every bait she. knows.
 Think it over dear, and come home for a visit The whole town would go daffy with joy.
 At all events, forget Wallis. He's not the man for you.
 Yours devotedly,
 P. S.-Beware of sultry violnists! He sounds like something in the movies. J.

 It Pays to AdNertse,' a farcical fact from the pens of Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett. The play Was orlSlnallN produced at the George M. Cohan theater in New York city by Conan and Harris
 The story is centered around Rod ney Martin, neer do well son of Cyrus Martin, the soap trust king. Rodney does not believe in work as long as dads, money holds out and spends most of his time, when he is not sleep ing, in spending dads millions. This state Of affairs worries dad and he eventually enters into a scheme with his secretary to make the young man wake up to the real things of life The secretary, a charming young wo- man, is installed in the Martin home because of the supposed illness of dad and Rodney falls desperately in love With her, as dad had intended. II asks her to elope With him and she insists that he tell father He does so and IS thrown out of the house to make his own living. He then meets an old friend, Ambrose Peale, who has been an advertising agent for theatri- cal enterprises, and decides to go in the soap business and beat his father by advertising. The experiences of the two young men and the secretary in their endeavOr are sure to make the sternest of men laugh.
 MT. Cormican will be seen in the role of Ambrose Peale and it is one of the parts that MT. Cormican does so well. Miss Van Waldron will be seen as the secretary who works so hard to oJ hn win many more hearts in front of the foOtllghts while endeaVoring to win one. The rest of the favorites will be there to aid in the success of the play. Tickets will be on sale at the box office on Friday.

Thev Grow Tan in Iowa.

Will BUcknell, the well known
architect, but of recent years farming
in Montana, who has spent most of
the past summer here, forgot about
how high Iowa corn and potatoes
really grow. Last week he accompani-
ed Mayor Richard Bucknell and wife
and John Bucknell, of st. Paul, on
visit to the old home of the Buck
nell's near Charles City. They were
visiting at the home of cousin, who
lives on a farm near Carville close
to Charles City. They visited the day
out nearly, when the folks remem-
bered they had a lot of potatoes dug
that should have been picked up tina,
evening. Well to expedite things his
honor, the Mayor; brother John, with
Will as straw boss volunteered to go
out and get the spuds under cover.
To make long story short the pota-
toe patch circled the corn field, and
Will decided to investigate the corn,
to see whether Iowa corn beat Mon
tana's or not. The others were busy
picking up potatoes, and didn't miss
Will for some little time. When they
did miss him they couldn't locate him
so some guns We're brought into act
ion, and fired off to let him know
where the others were. The fact is
Will got lost in the corn field. 1t grew
so fast while he was investigating
that each pathway out seemed
strange to him. 1t was no use climb
ing the stalks, as they were growing
too fast, and didn't give him chance
to see which way he was going. He
finally found his way to the house
after getting out of his way about a
mile and half. OF course the rest of
the crowd think now he was stalling
as he got tired of picking up the big
murphys.

Everyone, whether a. member or

your favorite oratorio, and help de-

try to determine the size choruh that
will be available, and what oratorio
is to be studied. Prof. c. A. Sperati

are interested to lend their presence

1t is very much to- be hoped that
this excellent singing body in De-
corah be continued, and not allowed

all feel like expressing our gladness
in song.
The choral Union is an organiza-
ton that teaches, practically free,
the great oratorios. These master
pieces are sung everywhere, and the
ability to sing numbers from them,

portunity of studying them under
the guiding hand of Prof. Sperati.
Young people especially should grasp

There is a distinction between pretti;,
