Another Successful Monthly
Sales Day for Pennington

The second monthly Sales Day,
held in Pennington last Saturday,
drew another big crowd to this city,
scoring another splendid success.
Again the free drawing of prizes
that had been donated by merchants
and business men of this city created
great interest, and profiting by their
former experience, those in charge OF
the days program succeeded well IN
conducting the drawing in a more
satisfactory manner, greatly reduc-
ing the time required to select the
winners and award the prizes.
The sixth annual sale of Herefords,
offered by local breeders, also drew
considerable attention, and a great
crowd remained throughout the sale,
which consumed several hours. While
there were a number of bidders, all
appeared to be unusually cautious,
and the prices paid for the many
splendid individuals that were offered
were disappointing. The only known
cause for the low bidding that has
| been offered was the result Of the
late election. Whatever the cause
the prices that bought the splendic
beef cattle that was sold SATURDAY
will soon take the interest out OF sucf
thoroughbred sales.

Never before in her screen career has Americas Sweetheart" been seen to better ad- vantage than in the present offering. It is a joyous play unfolding a joyous plot. told amid joyous fun and mirth- In the role of Amy" Mary Pickford first appears as daughter of the rich, presiding over a household owned by her grandfather, while her father is touring the country in the interests of his sociological writings. But there comes a time when the father returns. without funds. The daughter is over joyed at his again being with her, and promptly resolves to accompany her father. wherever his work may take him. His work takes him to the east side Of New York, and it is here that the little daughter of wealth becomes a child of poverty, .'The Hoodlum. ' Her escapades are the basis for one of the most delightful comedies she has ever had. and with that rare skill which belongs to "Our Mary" she lit orally romps through the role.

Choosing a Wife" at the Lamara

Choosing a Wife" the I.amara at traction for today and tomorrow, is a sensational story of modern life, and one vitally real in its appeal and dar- ing ir it's telling.
 It concerns Andrew Quick, who, though having passed his fiftieth mile stone is still in the vigor of youth, his life as an explorer having been condu- cive to, its seems, everlasting health. He is perplexed then. as he has been all his life, over the problem of choos- ing a mate for himself, and admits finall ythat he loves Barbara Blossom a young girl of 20. Wondering if she would think him too old for a hus- band. he goes to the aunt of his lady love, who, while his junior. is much the senior of Barbara Without dis to have inadvertently allowed the aunt to believe that Quick means her self. The advice that Quick acquaint the lady of his heart with his affec- tior finds the explorer on the day of his departure advising, he supposes, the younger girl of his love, while the Eote is delivered to the elder woman, who is delighted to know that she w--- right in her assumption that the eX- plorcr was referring to herself in his conversation about the woman he loved.
 With this feature will be shown "The Line Runner" a fast moving western story.
