MONDAY, Nov. 24

Through the courtesy and kindness of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. Bolls of the Majestic
theatre, Saltwater, we we're all given an
other delightful treat in being able to see
the special production of the spectacular
play in which that masterful and brilliant
movie artist Tom Mix is featured in "a
Rough Riding Romance
CertainIee!-There's whole lot to this
that's nothing but hoss play" as Mix puts
it.
This play is one of exceptional merit as
introducing splendid example of how it is
possible for a man like Tom Mix, the
Oklahoma COW boy to so train the horse as
to be so intelligent to do the very things we
see done with our own eyes. The play
is charmingly set in western country
fashion, and is top notcher for its wealth
of beautiful and striking scenery effects.
The play winds up with a revue royal in
the mansion down east where Tom and his
steed put something over that creates con-
sternation and puts to flight everything and
everybody with whom they come in con-
tact. None the less to merit favor for good
pose and action in this play is the youthful
chap who real smart plays the role of
philosopher and who is the connecting link
to give Tom and the Princess and Pinto
the brilliant equine full sway in this most
wonderful and fascinating production.
If Tom Mix is as good in his "Motor-
CYCLE and other productions as he is seen
in this play he offers superb attraction that
draws big houses where people seek acting
worth while of so intellectual and so enter
tanning character.

The following is told of a certain mill
foreman, who always had his dinner at
local restaurant. One of the Mattresses was
very keen on this fellow, who invariably
sat at her table. She huttered around him,
ogled and giggled and explained the young
mans lack of response by the fact that he
stammered. 'sIs there anything you wanti"
she asked one day. The young man
glanced at her, and said: "WiIl you let

If you buy Christmas present,
Buy it now!
If it be for prince or peasant,
Buy it now!
Buy it early in November,
Or at least before December;
You'll be glad if you remember
Buy it now!
While the counters stretch before you,
Buy it now!
While there are no crowds to bore you
Buy it now!
Buy before the air is stuffy,
Buy before the girls are huffy,
Buy while things are fresh and fluffy
Buy it now!

Even though you have to borrow,

To abhor the Christmas season;

A Toast to the Reliable Man.

Here's to the steadfast, reliable man.
The man with the tongue that's true.
Who won't promise to do any more than
he can
But who'll do what he says he'll do.
He may not be clever; he's often quite
blunt,
Without either polish or air;
But, though it's not in him to ''put up a
'front.'
When you need him he's always there.
So here's to the man on whom one can rely,
And here's to his lasting success!
May his species continue to multiply
And his shadow never grow less!

by his sruall son. The little boy watched
from the gallery when the House came to

those men, papai'' he questioned. ''He

The poets room is mean and bare:

A lonely picture on the wall,
A well-worn book. and-that is alll

Swift fantasies that come and go
Have dressed the walls so richly rare
That all the wealth of life is there
The wealth that thoughts alone bestow.

The Sin of Omission

=
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you bit of heart-ache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might. have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for.
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels
That even mortals find
They come in plight and silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and Tagging.
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heart-ache
At the setting of the sun.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS

Everything points to triumphant
Republicanism, says Representative
Simeon ID. Fcss of Ohio chairman OF
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee in statement. Congress has
been in session six months. 1t has
proceeded on a program Of legislat-
ion with keen sense Of it's respon
sibility in a vote OF confidence which
transferred the control from the Re
publican to the Democratic party
It's record Is made up Of what 1t has
accomplished, not alone on reconstruc
ton measures but by constructive
legislation Of permanent importance.
The Investigations OF war expenditur
es leave no doubt Of tho needless ex
travagance and inexcusable incompe
tence which force the necessity Of an
accounting to the country. This con
groess has charged itself with the du
ty of getting away from war expendi
lures. The attitude Of President Will
son in demanding acceftance Of the
League Of Nations without tho cross
ing Of It. or the dotting Of an IL
compelled delay Of action on the
treaty and then defeated it. Had he
displayed willingness to American
lie the treaty, it would have been rati

for 1920 are most satisfactory to
Republicans. Every election points
