Bungalow Theatre
to Close Friday

Will be Last Fea-

Friday evening the Bungalow thea

It is regarded as quite an event that
this premier of all films should be the
last presented at a playhouse where
thousands have been entertained.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in the opening of the new

Wednesday evening, had to be post

The theatre. erected and equipped at a
cost Of about $4,000. is rgarded as

If it were true that the sellers had

it is mistake to suppose that manu.

But the economic law, like the d.

way or other. Just now the country

MOTOR TRUCKS ON FARME.

The agricultural department has
been obtaining the views of farmers
in the corn belt, and 831 of them who
have motor trucks are almost unanim-
GUS in the opinion that they will prove
eventually a profitable investment.
However, results show that the motor
truck has not reduced farm expenses
to any degree up to the present time,

farmers agree that it saves time, "
it is doubtful whether the new &C

gave up their houses and apartments.
The demand was desirable living

as a result the congressman will re-

congress and find that they cannot
secure suitable living quarters. Oc-

serve. 1t is a bad idea," If you will
believe Washingtonians, but Senator
Kenyon proposes it only as a method
for relieving the intolerable housing
situation of the capital; and he says
the suggestion will be backed by a
large number of senator's.
