FINNS ADOPT FLAG.

ence Of the Associated Press) One OF
the strangest flags ever designed was
adopted a while ago by a regiment of
Karellan Firms serving with the allied
forces on the Thurman railway line neal
KEN, Russian Lapland.
The flag, designed, it Is said. by re-
quest of the karelians. who have am
billions to form an independent state,
Included the national color of the
Karelians, a bright orange and their
national flower, the Karelian clover,
The result was a startling resem-
blancc to green shamrocks upon an
range background. The Russian gov
eminent caused the flag to be hauled
down as it did not, at that time, ap-
prove Karelian independence.

KRYL'S GREAT BAND
BIG ATTRACTION

Bohumir Kryl and his great band
will be an attraction at the Redpath
Chautauqua here this season, from
May 31st to June 18th.
Bohumir Kryl is one of the worlds
greatest bandmasters and is often re-

netist. He and his band will appear
afternoon and night of the fifth day
and Mr.. Kryl will personally conduct
at both concerts.
The program will include some of
Mr.. Kryl's own compositions. Also
he will appear as a cOrnet soloist
and render a number of selections in
the, inimitable manner which has es-
tablished his enviable reputation as
a cornetist.
Wonderful musical effects are pro-
duced by the Kryl band. The silvery
comets, the resonant rrombones, the
blasting bass horns, the laundering
kettle drums, the penetrating chimes,
the resounding anvils, and finally the
melodious harp-all contribute to a
grand composite effect that range
from the coo of turtle dove to the
tone blasts that awake the echoes.
And Kryl is an entertainer. In
mense crowds have greeted him in
the greatest parks and auditoriums
of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago
and Cincinnati-not only to enjoy his
invigorating music, but also to wit

"Our program for 1919 should ap-

deeply into the topics which are NOV

superintendent at this point. He is

LOVE WINS IN AUTO RACE

How the love of wife prevails

the thrilling Dustin Farnum picture,
"The Light of Western Stars" which

31st
Zane Grey has written of the West
as no other writer can. His works
are descriptive of a country he knows
first hand, and his romances are said
to be based largely on events that
actually occurred within his knowl-
edge. Never has this popular author
written more thrillingly than in his
descriptio nof the wild race into
which a young wife plunged to save
her husband. What was thrilling in
description is triply so when enacted
on the screen. The spectator is grip
ped between hope and fear as the
huge car plunges on and the sun be-
gins to sink and with it the hopes of
the heroic wife. Alternately are
thrown on the screen the scene Of the
husbands approaching execution and
successive stages of the leaping APP
proach of the automobile that can
save him. Suspense lasts up to the
final foot of this thriiilng Dustin Lar
mum film.
