FAMED O. HENRY
 STORY BROUGHT
 TO THE SCREEN
"The Unknown Quantity, !" Filmed by Vitagraph With Corinne Griffith in Stellar Role, Supported by a
 Strong Cast.

Vitagraph brings to the screen another of o. Henry's famous short stories in "The Unknown Quantity" the Cor rinne Griffith picture which will be seen in the Jewel Theatre on next Thursday, October, 21. This company has scored many artistic suc- cesses through it's famous authors policy and o. Henry works have contributed their full share. Among the five reel adaptations from that writer being "Everybody's Girl" "One Thousand Dol lars," q Will Repay" from "A Municipal Report" <" "Find the w m a n,'' and "The Changing Woman" from Matter of Mean Elevation"
 "The Unknown Quantity" gives what promises to be one of Miss Griffith's best roles, the strong love interest afford ing the young star exception al opportunity to display her rare personal charm and yer satility as an actress.
 The story deals with the fight of young millionaire to make amends to the girl for wrongs his father had done her family. She despised him and looked with favor on another, but he won in the un- usual game. of hearts because he applied 'The Unknown Quantity" to the problem of changing her hate to love.
 The picture was filmed at Vitagraph's Brooklyn studio under the direction of Thomas R. Mills, and in the support ing cast are Huntley Gordon, H. Davenport, Jack Ridgeway, Frederick Buckley and Jack Mclean.

SWAT POLITICAL GNA1S

We have all seen cows standing In
The hot sun swishing off the flies
and gnats which attack them in hot
weather. These pests may get so
bad that their worrying of the COW
will cause q reduction i'll her milk
supply and in some instances they
endanger the health and life Of the
COW. our country. which furnishes
us food and labor from which we
all live, has been pestered by poll
tical gnats and flies which in recent
years have been cutting down our
productive power, increasing the cost
CT our food and clothing and have
threatened to undermine the econom-
ic health of this nation.
These political gnats fly under va
rious names such as the non-paru-
san league. the /. W. W. organiza-
ton, the bolshevists, the socialist
party, the Land and Labor party
and numerous other titles. Their
general program is to do away with
sucalled capital, have the state own
and control the principal lines OF
business, such as banks, warehouses,
utilities. mills. factories, merchandis'
ing and newspapers and control free
speech in fact, about everything
necessitating any personal vision or
initiative in the promotion. construc'
ton, development and establishment
OF different lines OF industry. In 9TH
or words. the American idea Of indi-
vdual initiative, freedom and enter
prise would be thrown in the discard.
The result would be chaos as every
student Of history and world affairs
knows.
A wise farmer will protect his
COWS from the gnats which sap her
vitality and If the people Of this
nation use their good judgment now
they will swat the political gnats.
which if allowed TO multiply and
spread their dangerous doctrines Will
slowly but surely undermine the pro
ductivty Of this nation.
