Herrmann's in the recent series. The scheme did not work out to the ex- pectations of Hermann, but instead it developed certain features that proved decidedly unsatisfactory. As a result there is little likelihood of 1t being attempted again.
 If the seven-game system had been followed this year the series would have been big success in every way and the ultimate result would have been the same. It might be added that in nineteen out of twenty cases the club winning in nine games also would win under the seven-game ar rangement. The various clubs prof ited to a considerable extent by the prolongation of the series, the play CTS got close to s1, 900 more than they would have received under the former nlan- and yat there is no dispoSuon

4wHY / WOULD NOT MARRY !"

William Fox is now offering what
is beyond all doubt the most amazing
most fascinating, most unusual photo.
play that has ever been produced. II
is called why | Would Not Marry
and it is a striking, timely morality
picture that tells the unique story OF
the most beautiful oma in the
world.
"Why l Would Not Marry" is a play
that dissects the problem of marriage,
laying bare the pitfalls, the snares, the
s~elfshness, the cruelty and the heart
lessness that often characterize the
institution that has been called Holy
Wedlock. This great play is pitiless
in the searching light it throws upon
the state of matrimony. 1t will make
the selfish, thoughtless, complacent
husband squirm. 1t will cause wives
to look at life in a new light. 1t is
a challenge to the world, and it rips
away the veil of hypocrisy and deceit
that has e~nshrouded marriage and
made it a mockery among decent men
and women.
The heroine of why l Would Not
Marry is the most beautiful woman
in the world. Wealthy, sought after
by men, and given everything that
great riches could buy, this beautiful
creature nevertheless steadfastly re-
fused to entertain the idea of enter
ing matrimony.
Why ?
The answer forms one of the most
fascinating stories ever put on the
screen. This wonderful woman, alone
among mortals, had the boon of being
able to look into the future. With the
aid of a mysterious Oriental occultism
it was in her power to pierce the
mists that shroud the coming years,
and see the miseries, the heart-burns,
the Establishments that lay ahead of
her along life's path.
Looking into the future, with eyes
that reflected horror and repugnance,
this woman was able to see that those
men, who now fawned upon her and
sought her hand in marriage, only de-
sired her as a sacrifice on the greedy
altar of Mammon. She saw herself
changed from a person of wealth and
ease to a poor girl whose poverty
brought her to the verge of selling her
body and soul to keep alive. She saw
the bitterness OIL the end, ana Ine
struggle; but at length through the
years she perceived something that
brought happiness to her tired heart
and hope to lift her spirit.
The scenes in which this amazing
story is unfolded are tense, gripping,
and full of overwhelming power.

WHICH r YOU?

When the Creator had made all the
good and beautiful things, in order
that they might be truly appreciated,
He than made the beasts, reptiles and
poisonous insects.
When He had finished, He had left
over scraps that were too bad to put
in the rattle snake, the hyena, the
scorpion, or the skunk, so He placed
all these together, covered it with
Suspicion, wrapped it with Jealousy,
marked it with a Yellow Streak, and
called it a KNOCKER.
Then as a compensation for this
fearful product. He took a sunbeam
and put it in the heart of a child, the
love of a mother, the brain of a man,
wrapped these in civic pride, covered
it with brotherly love, gave it a mask
of velvet and a grasp of steel, and
called it a BOOSTER. He made him
a lover of fields and flowers, and man.
ly sports; a believer of equality and
justice.
And ever since these two were ere
ated. mortal man has had the privi-
lege of choosing his associates.

Forty years ago there was some ex-
euse for bad roads, for u country
a poor. Now it is rich and there is
no excuse. A good road is always to
be desired and is a source of comfort
and convenience to every traveller.
Good roads attract population as well
as good schools and churches. Good
roads improve the value of property,
so that it is said that a farm lying
five miles from market connected by
a bad road. Is of less value than an
equally good farm connected by a
good road. A larger load can be
drawn by m horse over a good road
than by two over a bad one.

Look on the bright side. It is the
right side. The hour may be cheer
less and somber with clouds, but it
will be no better to wear a gloomy
and sad c~ountenanee. It is the sun
shine and not the clouds that makes
the flowers. The sky is blue twice
where it is black once. You have
troubles-so have others. None are
free from them. That would be a
dull sea and the sailors would never
get skill were there nothing to dis
turb its surface. There is more yir-
tue in a sunbeam than in a whole
hemisphere of cloud and gloom.

GOOD PHOTOPLAYS -.:.
 AT PALACE THEATER

Today, Tuesday and Wednesday bring to the Palace a corking good photoplay and vaudeville show. The feature picture is the big Paramount production, with Dorothy Dalton in "Quicksand." While she appears in a considerable portion of the picture as cabaret singer, Dorothy Dalton, the beautiful Thomas H. Ince star, is in reality cast for the role of de- voted wife who only adopts this char acter in order to support herself and to strive for some means of learning the truth concerning her husband, who is falsely accused of crime In the very quicksand of disaster, when life seems, it's blackests the truth be- comes known and at last the woman who has stood by her husband val iantly in the darkest days is able to give the proofs that will free him from prison and redeem him in the eyes of the world.
 Other photoplays include a new episode of "The Red Glove" with Marie Walcamp, and a screaming L-KO Komedy. The vaudeville bill consists of Youni and Fuzi in a Jap- anese novelty; Pease and Dawson, and Evans, Johnson and Evans in a great novelty act.
