PUBLIC NOT GIVING
TO SALVATION ARMY,
ONLY MAKING LOAN

"The public is not giving any
thing to the Salvation Army. What
ever it has contributed in the past
has been returned to it many fold,
in service which has rendered the
community a cleaner, better, hap
pier place to live in and has added
to the number of useful, happy
citizens living in that community" "
The above was tribute paid by
Sidney Well in charge of one of the
drive committees of the Salvation
Army, at a dinner hello. at the Elks
Club last night. The $4,000 we
wish to raise is but a meager loan
when compared to the actual re-
turns which will be made by the
Salvation Army in the years TO
come continued Mr.. We'll, "and
yet this amount is being added TO
by another $4,000 from s. A.
headquarters"
Some thirty workers were pres
ent at the dinner, team captains
and heads of committees, and final
instructions were given for the
drive which begins tomorrow
morning, when all teams will meet
at the Y. w. c. a. at 9 a. m. Mrs,

ENLARGEMENT Of
HOTEL ALvARADO
IS CONSIDERE D

A survey of hotel conditions
here is being made by c. F. Har-
.rison, chief architect of the Harvey
system, looking toward an enlarge
ment of the Alvarado hotel that
will greatly increase its capacity
and involve the expenditure Of a
large sum of money. No appro-
priation has been made as yet for
the work and it is not known when
the construction will be com
menced
Crowded hotel conditions here
have forced the Alvarado to limit
the stay of guests to three days in
order to accommodate transient
guests. Many persons who de-
sired TO remain at the hotel for the
winter We're forced to find other
accommodation because of this
ruling. An addition of size would
enable the Alvarado to acCommo-
date all permanent and transient
demands.

SPECIAL TREAT COMING.

Great interest attaches to the an
nounced showing at the Ideal
theater tomorrow and Friday of
Harry Carey in his latest Universal
production, marked Men"
Pronounced by the millions of
readers of the Saturday Evening
Post as the most perfect western
story ever written, this romance of
the desert by Peter Il. Kyne, (pub-
lished under the title, THE Three
Godfathers, has been transferred
to the screen with every embellish-
ment known to the art of the silent
drama. Harry Carey, who stands
alone as a delineator of a certain
American type, has in his favorite
role of Cheyenne Harry the big op-
portunity of his career, while such
perfect types as Charles LeMoyne,
Winifred Westover, j. Farrell Nc
Donald, Joe Harris and Ted Brook
are his chief support.
Jack Ford, who directed this
photo drama, reveals deep in
sight into human nature by many
exquisite touches.
There are many tremendous
scenes in this production. The
western prison with its four hun
dred inmates, the exciting Jail de-
livery the battle on the bridge. the
huge dance hall with its many odd
characters, the thrilling scenes on
the great Mojave desert, and the
tense situations, played by two or
three people, which sound the
depths human emotion.
Those who have had a pre-
release view Of Marked Men" de-
clare that it is not only the best
picture ever made by Harry Carey,
but takes its rank among the west
ern masterpieces of the screen.
