Ambition does no exactly produce i'm
mortal youth but it does drive away old
age The ambitious man, who has spent
forty years from twenty to sixty-fghting
for achievements without APPARENT results
is just as hopeful of the future at sixty
as he was at twenty. There is but little
for man to accomplish after sixty save
ripe old age but ambition urges him on
to reach the goal Of life which drives dull
fears of the approaching end away. Most
men at sixty have no more Of the goods
the gods provide than they had at twenty,
but they continue hopeful When twenty,
the man sixty seems to be a very very old
man, but the scenes change when the man
twenty becomes siXty-not so old.

Moro Street Oil Wanted.

While the city has used four big
car loads Of street oil this year,
there seems to be a popular clamor
for more. Some of the streets seem
to need more oil already, as the
heavy rains washed considerable of
the oil away. This is condition that
no one has any control over The
day may be a perfect one when the
men start out to do the oiling and
along in the afternoon a heavy rain
comes and naturally the oil suffers.
But it was put on in good shape,
but there is no guarantee that it will
all stay if it hits into a heavy rain
the same day. We presume another
car or two could be used to good
advantage.

Lieut.. Campbell was scheduled to
fly at Belle PLANE on July 4. When
he arrived he found the landing
place that had previously been select

another for himself.
Unknowingly, he selected a nice
green field owned by farmer said
to be the wealthiest in the vicinity.
When Lieut.. Campbell landed he
was greeted by the farmer, who
carried a gun in his hand and made
businesslike gestures.

TWO BOOTLEGGERs MAKE HAY
Cheat Customers and Sell Booze at
i $3.50 a Gallon.

Centerville, lathe Bookkeeping
firm of Hayes & Whitacre has been
retailing whiskey at $3.50 a gallon.
Some price, it is true, yet this is the
price they have been charging for
the liquor and what is better yet,
they have been getting j.. Sheriff
Elgin and Deputy Harry Trigg caught
them in the act OF selling it Sunday
night and Hayes and Whitacre are
now in Jail awaiting the time when
tley must face the charge.
The method by which they had
been making sales Is qarhaps the
most. clever of anything which has
ever been seen in this section of the
state A quantity of jugs had been
bought by the men, each Jug bold
ing two gallons. These lad been
taken to the home Of Cotton.
Hayes and had been placed in Q
small blacksmith shop just behind
the house it is said. Here the boz
tom of the jugs had been broken ohl
in such manner that a whole pi.cc
of the crockery about sly Inches In
diameter had been removed Ehgr
this opening a small funnel aaC been
inserted and placed agaiusu the
mouth Of the jug. This ruaaei hqd
been made to hold Us place by
means Of sealing wax.
The bottom Of the jag a2a then
oeen replaced, the two men being
ARTISTS in using a combination OF
sealing wax and plaster Of paris to
make the broken crockery stick.
The jug had been filed with. water
up to the point where the small part
OF the funnel touched the water a
cork was then inserted in the funnel
and more sealing wax placed over
the cork to make sure that it
could not leak. The funnel itself
held a half pint and this was f1lled
with an excellent brand of whiskey
When a purchaser desired to
sample the whiskey before the pur-
chase the entire two gallons, he
would turn the jug up to his lips
in that good old country style and
find that it was excellent liquor,
and just to think that two gallons
of it could be purchased for $50.
After the half pint had been used
the purchaser would then discover
that he had a jug of water.

EYES OF THE WORLD"
This Great Attraction VIII Appear
at the Star July II and 1S.

tacular and concentrating its essence
into a powerful love story, gorgeous
California scenic settings and elab-
crate musical attributes, "The Eyes

offers something different in pictorial
drama from the run of great film
offerings put forward of late.
Represented in this achievement are
Harold Bell Wright, author of the
famous story, which has had a sale
of over two million copies in book
form, and W. H. Clune, who was as
ISOLATED in the production of "The
Clansman" C'Birth of a Nation")
and other large film ventures.
The noted author amplified the
story for this production and per-
sonally assisted in the work of put
ting his characters on the screen.
While THE Eyes of the World" is
primarily a romance, it Is melo-
dramic in the best sence, bristling
with adventure, hazard and dramatic
clash, as well as idyllic Charm. The
cinema version is in nine acts, was
seven months in making at unlimit-
ed cost on the actual scenes of the
story in southeastern California.
The qualities that gave the book
such phenomenal sale are intensified
in the pictorial version, which has
wealth of gorgeous Photographic set
tings. The presentation is a lavish
one in every way In numerous cities
II has broken all theatre records.
