BUSINESS RHYMES
''Pay What Thou owest"

"Pay What Thou Owest"
'Pay what thou owest," says the Book
That guides all worthy folk;
But meeting promptly all ones bills,
Is certainly no joke.
Yet we have patrons staunch and true
Who send their checks in time;
We merely need remind them all
With this short, simple rhyme

1--WE Need the Money"

''We Need the Money
''We need the money" that's the cry,
You hear it everywhere,
And so we have a word to say
To those who really care.
Our patrons are as good as gold,
We learned that long ago,
That's why we know they'll send
their checks
And pay the bills they owe.

Who Makes the Profit?

The farmer has an easy life,
All he has to do is work;
He slops the hogs and feeds the
steers,
He has no time to shirk;
Tills the soil and seeds the ground,
And salts his winters meat;
But the thing that hurts him most
of all,
Is a dollar twenty for his wheat.

ORNBURN TALKS ON
 THIRD LABOR PARTY
Tells Hartford People State Or ganization Is Opposed
 to Such Plan.

Hartford, Feb. 27.-Secretary Ira M. Ornburn of the Connecticut Federation of Labor was in this city Wednesday and then returned to his home in New Haven. When seen by reporter for the Courant, he said the state organiza- ton was opposed to any third party or labor party and believed in electing men favorable to organized labor through the republican or democratic party.
 The state executive board has already launched a campaign to induce hen in organized labor to get into the party caucuses or primaries, take an active part in the nominations and see that men who are friendly to~organized labor are nominated. MT. Ornburn said that this plan had resulted in an increased num- Der of men i'll the last state senate who were friendly to organized labor.
 The executive board has prepared a campaign to get every workingmanz vote enrolled upon his party's caucus list. If those who control the caucuses fail to recognize labor's claims, the working men will cast their votes for those who are friendly.
 Mir. Ornburn said the completed plans of the committee will soon be sent to every local organization. These mat ters were fully considered at the last state convention of the Federation

A new screen star will blaze the fir mament at the Bijou this Sunday night and the three days following when Man ager Va1les will offer Buck Jones, the expert horseman and cowboy hero des- tined to vie with William s. Hart and Tom Mix for the favor of the fans. Jones will be seen in "The Last Straw, typical picture of the west and you will see in the new star tall, clean cut chap with clear eye and ready smile who can do anything with horse and a rope that any has done before him and few tricks all his own. Jones is cast as Tom Beck a cowboy on the H. C. ranch which has just passed into the hands of young eastern girl, Jane Hunter, played by Vivien Rich. Tom and his cowboy friends are awaiting the coming of Jane with conside9b1e anx- iety which is increased by numerous cattle stealing. Jane appears, modish young miss fond of cocktails and cigar cites and with no idea of western life. There is an interesting clash between the hero and the heroine when they first meet because Tom has certain ideals about the fair sex which do not include cigarettes and cocktails. After num- Der of exciting conflicts which gives him a chance to show his skill as rider he wins the love of the girl. There will be a two reel comedy on the bill Sum day night together with the News Weekly and other features and two complete shows, the second starting at sharp.
 A wonder bill of vaudeville comes Monday for a three days engagement headed by one of the most pretentious offerings that has ever been booked for the Bijou in Broadway Jones" a com plete musical comedy with cost of 20, mostly easy to look at girls and the pro- duction runs full hour Broadway Jones" strikes the modern note because it is in reality two and half hour musical comedy boiled down to an hour with all the pep and goodness of the bigger one retained.

DEMAND SPEEDY REPEAL OF NATION PROHIBITION LAW New York State Democratic Con- vention Starts Movement
 Arolling.
INSTRUCT DELEGATES
Also Wants All Future Amend ments Submitted to
 People.

The first formal political effort for the repeal of prohibition was taken at Al. bany Thursday when New York state democrats, through their delegates assembled in unofficial convention, went on record in favor of the repeal of the federal prohibition amendment It se- lected the delegates-at-large and the al ternates-at-1arge to the democratic na- tiona1 convention at San Francisco, and, by resolution, instructed the delegation at San Francisco to vote as a unit on all matters.
 The plank on prohibition says:
 We are unalterab1y opposed to pro- hibition by federal amendment We be- lieve 1t to be an unreasonable inter ference with the rights of the states as guaranteed by the constitution. We feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active min ority against the wishes of the great majority of the American people. We, therefore, declare for its speedy repeal and to the end that the personal liberty of the people of our state may be thor oughly safeguarded until such time as this repeal may be brought about, we declare the right of our state in the ex- erc1se of its sovereign power to so con- strue the concurrent clause of the 18th amendment as to be in accord with the liberal and reasonable views of our people.
 We favor an amendment to the na- tional constitution whereby all amend ments to the constitution of the United States hereafter shall be ratified by a referendum of the whole people"

THE PALACE.

There is no better tonic for the blues than a sight of Mary Pickford in her latest play, and also one of her very best screen productions, which will be presented at the Palace all next week beginning Sunday evening. The play in question is "Pollyanna," the first Mary Pickford production since the brilliant little star has joined the trio of great screen players representing the United Artists corporation.
 It makes little difference what the source of your worries may be, no mat ter how much your store of good nature has been drawn upon-a sight of Mary Pickford in the role of "Pollyanna" is a perfect gem. It is a gem of the screen, gem of story, and no critic has yet said or written one word that aims its brilliancy. It is worth millions as provider of joy.
 In addition to "Pollyanna," the regu- lar vaudeville bills will be offered al the Palace next week.
