Rex Beach's favOrite story. an emi
 nent authors production under the i lGoldwyn trade mark and Frank
 LlOyds directorial ability combine to
 make 6 filmatization Of the celebrated authors latest screen narrative "The l Silver Horde a triumph of photoplay
 achievement. The story is unusually realistic and convincing even for a Rex Beach story. The familiat charac. terS move swiftly and definitely through the dramatic episodes and re fleet the romance and adventure of Alaska as do the scenes the Snows and ice and death traps of that far-flung land of adventure. The Silver Horde" tells of mighty men who recognize but one !aW-the law that lies in the bar rel of a sun and the flinty hardness of Hare fists; Of brave women who follow the. frozen trail to be near the men they love and to fight with them when need be; the pioneers of civilization and big business.
 Like al of Rex Beachs stories the players were selected for their fitness to portray the characters conceived in the imagination of the author COnSe- quently, The Silver Horde" does not list the name of recognized star in it's cast, but with d roster including such names as R. D. Mclean, Robert McKim. Hector Sarno Myrtle Sted- man, Frederick Stanton, Curtis Cook sey and Betty Blythe what need be there fer a star-they are all stars Also, like all of Rex Reach's stories the titles were written by or under the direct supervision of the author and are as much part of the story as the action Of the players in carrying the various sequences to a logical conclusion.
 "The Silver Horde" with it's wealth of scenic grandeur and it's rugged charactorizations will be the attrac- ton at the Central theatre Friday and Saturday and Eagle theatre Sunday and Monday, June 1S 19 20. 21.

The town of Brooks is very fortunate
IN having new corn factory which will
begin work here next fall. Peas, beans.
corn and apples that the farmers have to
sell will be bought by the Black & Gay
Canne1les, Inc, of Rockland, which will
run the factory here. With the cooper
alton of the farmers of this and the sur
rounding towns, this will without doubt
De one OF the largest concerns operating
IN any town of this size. Not only help
ing the people of Brooks, it will enable
the people of jackson, Knox, Monroe
and the surrounding towns to bring their
produce here where they can get the
highest prices and keep their money in
their own home towns, which every
farmer, merchant and others should plan
to do. They have purchased the build
ing next to Hoods Creamery of Varney
