OPERA HOUSE TO SHOW
BIG FAIRBANKS FILM
"iiiS Majesty, The American" Marks
First RrlCnSp Of "Rip Eouro

1t is doubtful if any motion picture
was ever awaited with as much in
| lcrcst and anticipation in Laurcns as
Douglas Fairbanks new picture ellis
Majesty, the American" which will
be the attraction at tho Opera House
Friday Of this week.
Something moro than mere interest
in motion picture lies back OF this
anticipation, for "IIis Majesty. tho
American" is Douglas Fairbanks first
independent production and marks the
first release Of United Artists Corpor-
alton. the so-callcd big Four.
In January Of 1919 the entire amusc-
mcnt world was startled b ythc form
alton Of the United Artists Associa-
ton. This association was formed by
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Doug
las Fairbanks and ID. w. Grinith.
These artists, conceded throughout
the world to be the screens fore
most producers, after having released
ihcir pictures for a number OF years
through various distributing compan-
les decided that to assuc their best
work and in order to have full indie
pcndcncc for the highest expression
OF their art, they would. upon the
completion Of their then existing con
tracts, release their own pictures di-
rect TO the theatres OF the country.
This move for independence by the
foremost artists OF the screen is the
most important and beneficial step
that has been taken in the motion pic
tnrc business since ii assumed its
leadership in the amusement field
1t means for the motion picture pa
irons that Mary Pickford Charlie
Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and ID.
w. Grinlth will hereafter be enabled
tip produce pictures in their own way.
They will make fewer pictures than
they have made before. and this in
itself will be an advantage. ETcrto-
fore they have been obliged to turn
out a certain number Of productions
within given period and consequent
~ have not always had the time to
perfect their work.

LEAGUE COVENANT
VOTE COMES SOON
senate to Pass Upon First Amend
mcnt. Both Factions Alert,

Washington, Sept. 21.-Immincnce
of decisive vote by the senate on
amending the league of nations cove
nant will hold the German peace
treaty prccmncnt in affairs of con
gross this week. Except for concern
over the industrial situation, especial
~ the steel workers strike, the league
OF nations contest promises to dwarf
all other questions at the capitol.
The second week OF actual consid-
Grafton of the peace treaty will open
tomorrow, with both advocates and
opponents Of the lcgauc conceding the
approach Of the first actual tost of
strength. BY the end of the week or
early next week both factions expect
the first vote on amendment OF the
league covenant. While the senate is
cngrossed with the treaty, the house
will be comparatively inactive, CON
sidcring dye tariff revision and other
minor bills.
The senate factions are to have
their full voting strength on hand to-
morrow to remain until roll calls are
reached. Little action, however, is cx-
pcctcd for few days. Debate Will lie
resumed tomorrow, Senator Reed,
democrat Of Missouri planning a
lengthy address in attack on the
league covenant A few other ad-
dresses are being prepared, but it is
expected the period Of fast and furious
"infighting" soon will be reached
The first test of strength undoubt-
cdly will center about the amendment
of Senator johnson, Republican, OF
California to give Great Britain and
the United States equal voting power
in the league assembly. Republican
leaders believe they can muster their
greatest strength on this amendment
and consider that if adopted ii could
enhance their prospects Of voting fur
thor amendments. Democratic lead
crs, however, express unimparcd con
lidcncc that without the aid Of Rcpub-
licans opposing amendments they will
be able to defeat each and every
amendments
Although senate committee meet
jn"s, Investigations and all other af-
fairs will be Subordinatcd to the treaty
controversy ii is planned to dispose
Of other business daily before the
treaty is called up. Leaders hope to
enact this week the prohibition en-
control extension act to provide prof
itecring penalties.

MISS STALKER RESIGNS

Miss Elsie Stalker resigned her pos
ition in the Beaver high school the
past week and left yesterday for her
home at May. Her father and sister,
of that place, were visiting her and
she returned home with them in their
car. Miss Staker's resignation was
made by her from purely personal
reasons and while regretted by many
patrons of the school and by the
Board of Education, yet was accepted
by the later and she was released.
1t is regretable that this unfortunate
circumstance should have arisen for it
will be serious handicap to the school
until the place is filled which is not at
all easy to do ut this time and with
the great shortage of teachers. In
justice to Miss Stalker this paper wish
es to say that the public generally,
so far as we have been able to learn,
feel that the conditions which made
the young lady's resignation seem i'm
perative to her, were not justified
and that an injustice was done her as
well as the school, by purely personal
interference.

DIR. CARSON LAUDS WONDER
Full RED CROSS SERVICE


DIR p. C. Carson and brother G. w.
Carson, both of Ashland, Kansas,
were guests the past week at the
home of their uncle, w. +. Carson and
family here. Both young men have
recently returned from overseas, DR..
p. G. being with the medical corps
and c. w. with the infantry. Both
ranked as majors. DR.. p. G. speaks
in highest terms of the splendid SER
vice rendered by the Red Cross and
states that without such assistance
from this faithful, loyal body Of
workers "The Boys" would have been
sadly lacking for care for the reason
that the task was so gigantic that,
try as they did, the government alone
was not able to furnish supplies fast
enough. He cannot say too much for
the glory Of the Red Cross and the
wonderful service it performed. This
is the story that comes to the ears of
Rer Cross workers from every source
and how happy all who had a pant in
this great work of humanity should
feel that their service was not in
vain. As the Red Cross worked eff
feciently in time of war, so il may
work efficiently in time Of peace. We
need but refer to the splendid work
of relief which the Red Cross did
during the recent food disaster at
Corpus Christi and other south Texas
points which were stricken TO prove
the need for the continued Red Cross
service. The slogan, "Once a Red
Cross worker, always a Red Cross
worker" has been adopted by Nation
al Red Cross headquarters and we
are soon TO be called upon to make
a drive for memberships in the Third
Red Cross Roll Call which opens
November Sd and closes Armistice
Day, November llth. A call will be
made for workers at that time and
the campaign will soon be launched.
When called upon for service, remem-
ber the wonderful war record of the
Red Cross and that it is planning just
40 great vi HrcaIer Pe"ce-Siihe scr
vice, in the work of reclamation and
rehabilitation abroad and in health,
relief and other service at home, and
do what you can. Let US make Red
Cross membership in Beaver county
as near unanimous as possible. Il is
indeed an honor to be member of
80 noble an order. When the call is
made respond with your membership
and with your hearty support and CO.
operation.

MISS sYRIL srRONG HURT

Miss Sybil Strong met with very
serious and painful accident one eve
ming last week when returning 10 her
home in the country. She was driving
a team and on nearing the Mason
fam, south of Beaver, collided with
an auto being driven without lights,
by Mr.. Nichols, of Six Mile. The bug
Ky in which Miss Sybil was riding
was demolished and she was thrown
20 the ground being rendered uncon-
scious and receiving serious bruises
and other injuries from which il will
take her some time to recover.
This is the second instance of late
where autos have collided with teams
on the public highways on account of
driving without lights. The other
case occurred recently near Forgan
when a daughter Of Mr. Hodges, with
her escort were driving and the lights
on their car blinked out just as they
were nearing a team and they collid-
ed with it injuring the young lady
most severely.
The practice Of driving autos with
out lights must be discontinued.
There Is Il penalty for such practice,
il we mistake not, and all such driv-
ers should be apprehended. Dagger
TO other cars is not so great for the
cars have bright lights and can dis
cern objects in the road far enough
in advance 10 avert danger, however,
il is not so with other vehicles and
pedestrians on the highways and
their lives are in jeopardy so long as
the practice of driving autos without
lights is permitted

LAKEMP STATE BANK STATE

in this issue of the Herald and it is
mighty good one. Read it on an

right. This bank is about all that
remains of old LaKemp, the remain
der of the town having moved to the
new railroad town of Booker. 1t is
standing like a silent sentinel guard
ing the plains where once stood the
thriving and promising little town of
LaKemp but, despite its isolation, it
is enjoying a mighty good business.
We are told that -four people are kept
busy taking care of the customers
and the publication of the statement
this week is pretty good evidence
that there is something doing. Read
this statement.

LOSES SIGHT IN ONE EYE

w. II. Robertson lost the sight in
one OF his eyes the past week in a
rather unusual manner. The member
had not given him any particular pain
but he suddenly discovered that the
sight was gone. He does not know
what to attribute the unfortunate cir
cumstance TO unless it was due to a
slight accident a few days previous
when, in attempting to halter a milch
COW, the animal threw her head
around in such a way as to strike
Mr.. Robertson's face near the eye.
The pain was only slight at the time
and did not cause him any further
trouble, but he feels that nerve may
have been injured which subsequent
ly caused the loss of sight.
