HOLIDAY BILL MT THE PAIACE


 The Palace is offering a big holiday bill for Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday with big photoplay and all-star vaudeville features. The big photoplay feature is William $. Hart's new Art craft picture, "The Money Corral" which is one of the best photOplays in which Mr. Hart has been seen in many a day. It is announced that in the making of the big rOdeO scenes for this film all the coWgirls, punchers, Indians and MeXicans within a. hun dred miles came to take part in the episodes that required fast riding, shooting, roping, etc.
 Bill Hart is prominent in these scenes himself. Later the story takes the principal characters to Chicago and the western hero is introduced to the underworld crooks. He pests them, saves a trust company, wins q charming girl for his wife and is pre- scnted with ranch in Montana by his grateful employer, the president of st trust company.
 MT. Hart colla borated with Lambert IIillyer in writing and directing this picture and this combination assures the acme of thrill and human interest for both men are famous for their ca pablo work.
 MT. Hart declares that the produce ton comes up to his expectations, The rodeo scenes will only occupy a few hundred feet of the tilm,' he ob- serves, "but they are worth all the trouble and time, for they mirror faithfully the real life of the vest
 A lot of wild horses brought in from the ranges were too much for even some of the crack riders and a few bad spills occurred. But the excite ment is said to be intense as a, result of this genuine replica of a frontier weell in the open country.
 The first episode of ''The PerilS of Thunder Mountain is also on the bill with Antonio Moreno and Carol Hallo- way featured. Don't miss this. it's the best serial ever attempted Starting with this bill three of the big head line Keith acts of vaudeville win be offered with each change of program This programs vaudeville feature is Dancing q la Carte, with riotous laughter, songs and dances.

her with the intention of having a
drink of milk on the, owner they dis
covered to their disgust that she was

A disappointed ~doughboy leveled his
gun at her, saying: "She'd look better

"Glve you So If you turn the trick"
said another. ITS a go" said the first
one. "Pll turn her into dressed beef
before morning and claim that So"
None of us thought he meant it. but
in the morning he claimed the money,
saying the cow was now dressed beef.
We had to be shown, so were taken to
the field, and there, sure enough, the
COW was dressed. She was careering

Perth Amboy.
Dear Helen and Girls:
MY, but the column is growing. At
least more space is being used. There
are quite a number Of new members.
l don't know if it is on ccou of the
limited space or because the first
members do not write anymore, that
we do not see their letters in the col
umn. Which is it? If 1t is the for
mer, why &en all is forgiven, but If
it is the latter reason, why then l do
hope the girls will see this. and write
some more.
IF we expect to get a Y. W. c. A.
girlies, then can't you see we must
stick" together? OF course, most
of us do not know each other but this
column keeps us closer together, and
who can tell, but that some day we
may all be having a jolly time at a
Y. W. C. A. of our own.
when I read about the Y, M. G.. A.
campaign for members, and the good
reasons for Joining it, etc, why then I
think it would do just as much good
TO girls and women as II Is doing for
the boys and men. Don't you agree
with me girls?
And then to make me think still
more about 1t, there was a gentleman
at our house this evening to secure

PROHIBITION AND THE LABOR PROBLEM

The saloon itself Is the most potent
cause OF men losing their jobs.
Every reader knows of numerous
such instances. 1t is certain many
lore men will lose their Jobs by the
saloons staying than by It's going.
The saloon is not and never has
been a friend OF labor. 1t is the
poorest employer Of labor of all the
industries in the land. Shoe manu-
facture. for example, will employ
twenty-six times as many men as the
same amount a capital would in the
liquor industry, II all the capital in
n United States were employed in
the manufacture OF liquors only one
mar in seven would have employ
ment. If the same capital were oc-
cupied in other manufacturing indus
tries there would be two jobs for
every man in the land.
