his lines is almost enough to bring
one up standing. With Harry Carey
appearing in such photoplay as
Marked Men" it is very evident
that the best Of attractions has been
secured. When the story appeared
in The Saturday Evening Post it was
called 1.-THE Three Godfathers."
In the role of Cheyenne Harry,
bandit, convict and fugitive from JUS
tice, beneath whose outward base-
ness lies the seed Of humanity plant
ed by early teachings. Harry Carey
easily reaches the heights Of drama
tic art. He gives a clean cut por-
trayal Of the complex character. and
in his acting he is supported by J.
Farrell Mcdonald. Joe Harris and
Ted Brook as his three pals. Wini-
fred Westover as the girl and Charles
LeMoyne as the sheriff. There are
a dozen other important characters
in the plot. while hundreds of play
ers are utilized in the prison scenes
and in the dance halls of the frontier
towns.

with the general run of western pic

The provision In the new school law

cation through schools being the chief
preparation for future citizenship. our
duty lies in making them as efficient as
lies in our power. To women is left
the direction of children's education,
in large degree, so you must exert
the recent privilege Of suffrage in
electing to your County Board of Edu-
cation good, clean, capable and cOnsci-
entious men who will use every infiu-
ence to create and maintain a nom

Since the rural school is the great
hope for Kentucky's educational rise,
you, women and mothers must WELD

it's Parent-Teacher or Mothers Club
a solution to most of its problems,
whatever they may be, for it is COM
bining of the forces Of the home and
the school for the good Of the school

formed, for the full enforcement and
