One Of the Great Stars Of the Schreen

~ 1.-THE objectionable Sin"
FRlDAY-sArURDAY, JULY 1926
Play Said to be One Of the Most Pre-
tentious Screen Plays That Has
'.,.., Ever Been Attempted

What will probably surpass in i'm.
portance any previous motion picture
event in the history of the Denison
opera house will be the engagement Of
-The objectionable Sin," the extraor.
dinary epic photoplay starring blanche
|Sweet. from the daring story by Ru-
pert Hughes, which was first serially
published in one ofe the maga.
zines and later in book form, selling
into the millions of copies e-..,itE
"The objectionable Sin" is one of
the most pretentious screen plays that
has ever been attempted, and has been
completed after months Of painstak-
ing effort and with the expenditure of
more real money than has been en-
listed in the aid Of any photoplay pro-
duced within the past five years.
Mr. Hughes story has been spoken
of as one of the most compelling tales
of love and adventure ever filmed and
reviews of the picture made by i'm
portant critics throughout the country
pay high tribute to Marshall Neilan,
the director, who temporarily deserted
his direction of Mary Pickford to pro-
duce this great special attraction.
Those who see "The objectionable
Sin" will be particularly interested in
the work of the star, Blanche Sweet,
for 1t returns her to the screen after
an absence of more than two years.
Miss Sweet won her spurs and was
entitled to rank as one Of the greatest
stars of the day, in some Of the best
pictures produced by ID. w. Griffith,
who has given the public such things
as ''The Birth of Nation" "Intol-
erance" and Hearts Of the World"
''The objectionable Sin is sched-
uled to open at the Denison opera
house Friday and Saturday, July 25th
and 26th.

PROFIT IN FARM SALES

Davenport Times: The other day a
farm was sold out near the edge OF
Scott county for $400 an acre. The
man who made the sale is congratulate
ing himself that he made so much mon.
ey on the deal. One wonders what that
farm was worth in 1912, and the reas-
on is that the difference between what
the farm sold for this year and what
the land was reasonably worth seven
years ago may have great deal to do
with the amount of income tax that
the man who sold the farm will have
to pay. If it is 100 acre farm and
the advance in price was 5000 an acre
the income tax will have to be, paid
on $4,000 profit AS the income tax
mounts rapidly after the first $4,000
of income it is clear that all the $780,
600 is not profit in deal of that kind.
Not long ago, according to a Cedar
Rapids paper, a man who had an offer
for his farm at fancy figure went to
his banker to go. some information in
regard to how much he would have to
donate to the government if he sold
his place and found that Uncle Sam
would call on him to contribute $15,-
900 toward the government expenses.
1t is claimed that in some cases where
full payments have not been received,
but small initial payments have. been
accepted, the man who sold will have
to go to the bank and borrow money
with which to pay his income tax on
his profits represented by the notes
he holds for his land. When fancy fig
ures are offered for farms it may be
just as we'll for farmers first to make
careful inquiry of their bankers or Of
the internal revenue collector to ascer-
tain how much Of the apparent profit
will be absorbed by the tax that must
be paid. ..-.. ... .-..s i

Inquest and Jury Renders Verdict
Of Accidental Death

KDRON, July 15-Special-
The auto accident on Monday eve.
ming OF last week terminated fatally
to one of the participants and that
the others escaped with less injuries
and their lives is nothing less than a
miracle. In the evening Miss Sophia
Theodorf, who is working for Martin
Berg northeast of town, took his Ford
and in company with her sister, Caro-
line, started to town. Reaching old
Kiron Sophia left the car and togeth-
er with friends went visiting. Her sis
ter took the car for ride and invit-
ed Thelma and Osen Gustafson, Grace
Ralph and Quentin Norelius and Es-
thef rTellgren to go with her. A mile
north Of old Kirons when they turned
west and had gone something over 9
mile and a quarter the car upset and
the occupants were thrown out and
unfortunately Esther Telgren was
pinned underneath the car, and beside
other bruises sustained a fracture on
the right side of her head which
caused instant death. The youngsters
were able to lift the car sufficiently to
drag Esther from beneath the machine
but life from her had fed. Some of
the girls hastened to the nearby home
of John Lind, where doctor was
summoned. The body of Esther was
taken to Kiron and Justice H. B. Han
sohn, OF Boyer, was summoned to- hold
an inquest. After the testimony Of
the participants and others the jury
rendered verdict Of accidental death,
Caroline, the driver, it was learned
was inexperienced, this being her
second. attempt to drive car. Nearly
all the occupants received more or
less injuries and are recovering from
the accident. The sad and disastrous
affair is regretted by the entire neigh
borhood.

china's Mineral Wealth.

In the light Of the constantly pre-
dicted exhaustion Of the worlds coal
supply the following note from the
United States commerce reports is Of
interest:
"For the past 20 years the world
has heard marvellous stories Of
China's vast wealth Of coal, yet China
imports more than It exports. The
figures for 1917 show 1000. 900 tons ex.
ported and 100000 tons imported
yet. according to v. X. Ting. director
Of the geological survey Of China, a
minimum estimate Of China's wealth
In coal indicates that It is sufficient to
supply the worlds consumption, at Its
present rate Of 1000. 600, 900 tons a
year. for period Of 1000 years. Prob.
ably no other statement made concern.
Ing China would demonstrate more
forcibly than this the backwardness Of
the country in modern Industrial de-
velopment. Coal Is known to occur
IN every province in China.

gustin Castro, the new commander in
chief Of the northeastern military
zone. not only has woman press
agent but pretty one. to see that the
generals campaign against the villa
forces receives proper attention from
the Mexican and American border
newspapers.
She is Senorita Teresa Rodriguez,
daughter of a prominent Mexican poll
tician of Mexico City. who came north
soon after General Castro was re-
lieved from active duties as subsec-
retary of war to conduct n campaign
against the bandits of the north. Se-
norita Rodriguez does not speak a
word Of English. but she succeeded In
having her photograph and sketch
of General Castro printed in all the
American border papers as soon as
she arrived from chihuahua City to
begin her publicity campaign for the
Mexican commander.
Yet Senorita Rodriguez said, in her
most liquid Spanish. she did not wish
to exert what the Americanos called
"petticoat influence" to get her stories
printed.
"Why should not the Mexicans adopt
the best the Americans have originate
ed?" she said at military headquar-
ters to the Associated Press corre-
spondent.
"The much-abused press agent has
served a very useful purpose In pre-
senting to the public the good features
OF every worthy movement. every
campaign conducted by military or po-
litical leaders, and even your Presi-
dent Wilson recognized this when he
appointed director general of pub
licity.
General Castro does not order me
to have his deeds and pictures pub
lished. although he has done many
brave deeds and Is a sterling military
man. What he instructed me to do,
especially on the American side Of the
border, was to correct many false i'm
pressions subsidized Mexican papers
have given the American public about
Mexico and Its internal conditions. In
doing this I feel I am serving my coun-
try. and besides enjoy the work"
