An Ode To The Wildcatter

These proven fields now spouting oil Where wildcat once, just common soil. Until a man who had the nerve, And from his purpose never swerved For all the knockers in the land. Until his drill had found the sand That put the works upon the square And made this man a millionaire. Then the knockers, great and small, Their rotten luck began to bawl; And every measly tightwad hog Saw in this man lucky dog. They couldn't see it wasn't luck, But common sense and bulldog pluck And building castles in the air That made this man a millionaire. For you the same chance stands today To make the liquid gold sands pay. If you've the nerve to take flier To boost your bank account up higher Oil you will help to push the drill. Faint heart ne'er won a maiden fair Nor cold feet made millionaire.

Say, did you notice the interest among the young people-those between two and eighty-in the boxing on the fourth? I'll bet there weren't any cars stolen or any boose wanted or anything else very bad in that whole bunch during the afternoon. If you and your son John and Mary and Alice knew that there would be a fine community gathering next Saturday afternoon, would not you work like pat-i-ty pat all week with merry whistle too? And John and Mary and Alice wouldn't be half as push to run out every night in the week else where. What do you think?

Not So Far That the Statements Of
 Its Residents Cannot Be Verified.
 Rather an interesting case has been developed in Miami. Being so near by, it is well worth pub fishing here. The statement is sincere-the proof convincing: J. Lee Beam, miner, Franz Ave, General Delivery, Miami. Ariz., says: 'T don't care what you say, Doan's Kidney Pills can't be equaled. Several years ago kid ney trouble had me in an awful condition and my back was SO lame that 1 could hardly move. If tried to bend or stoop, sharp pains would catch me in my back. Nights 1 would have to arise many times on account of my kidneys. This broke my rest and felt tired out mornings. I felt bad all over until 1 began us- ing Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me right away and one box permanently cured me-"

"DFEP WATERS" SEA
STORY SCREENED BY
MAURICE TOURNECR

Maurice Tourneur has made his
chief reputation with sea pictures.
When he offers a photoplay with
the ocean as its background. every
body knows that he will give the
best possible. His sea pictures are
always admirably interesting.
They forever ring true to seattle.
Such is Deep Water@ which is
now the big attraction at the "B''
theater.
Tourneur has correctly fashion
ed his photOplay after the New
England coast life with character
izations here and there that bring
laughs tears, and then giggles. He
has touched all of life's emotions,
and yet not one is shown more
than necessary. Jack Gilbert, one
of the young screen writer-actors,
has moulded a scenario from the
book that takes one from the rush
of everyday city life to the simple
existence of these plain people in
their small seaport town.
The picture is also spectacular
for it brings in a few thrills and
some exciting moments. 1t has a
big shipwreck, builders troubles at
the lighthouse site, on the rugged
point, a storm at night and numer-
Gus other absorbing episodes
