THE STORY OF a POOR, BUT
AMBITIOUS BOY.

THE Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come" is Jack Pickford's first Gold
wyn picture. 1t is the story of n poor
but ambitious boy, Chad (Jack Pick
ford), who runs away from his Cum
beriand home and after long iour-
ney arrives in valley known as
The Valley of Kingdom Come" In
this place the Shepherd boys future
Is moulded. He leaves this divincly
named place TO become the protcge
OF wealthy army Major.
Major Buford discovers that the
poor shepherd boy is distantly re-
lated to him and becomes very de-
voted to Chad and makes it possible
ior nm to obtain an education far
better than the ambitious Chad ever
hoped for.
When Chad leaves the Valley for
Lexington, Kentucky, he leaves be-
hind him devoted admirer, Melissa.
She learns that her idol has fallen
IN love with Il girl of social position
and wealth; and working OH her sus
piclons she gets information about
his parents that gives Chad everv
right to aspire to the hand of the
girl he loves. Melissa returns to the
mountains sad at heart but contcnted
that Chad is happy.
The plot of this story by John Fox.

dents Of the civil war and the scenes

ture are very realistic and of absorb
ing interest. "Tho Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Come" will be shown at the

EGyp1's WEALTH

Egypt is bursting with wealth. ="
"Illiterate natives living in mud
huts have made 10000 pounds
sterling out of cotton deals" he
continues.
"Some have made 100000.
They are buying land at inflated
prices and paying off mortgages
which are regarded as family
heirlooms. One British official
says that the country has made
at least 1O0,000,O00 pounds. Nat.
urally there is an influx of new
millionaires in Cairo with a huge
demand for automobiles, jewelry,
new houses and all kinds of lux
uries, but in the provinces many
of the newly rich have not chang
ed their standard of living at all.

ONE CENT

An neutrality-suspicious. fmatb-

cent invested at the beginning of
the Christian era (l,9l9 years
ago) at a rate of interest equal to
the government Liberty bonds
that is, Az per cent. with inter
est compounded to date, would
make 100000 globes of solid gold,
each the weight of the earth.
The earth weighs six andtwen-
ty.one ciphers tons, but the one
cent with it's accumulations, re-
duced to a minimum weight in
gold, at the rate of 620 in the
ounce, would he says, make l00,-
600 planets of the earth's weight.

IMPROVED AIR SERVICE

Construction of the two big
gest airplanes in the world is
planned by the navy department.,
the House naval affairs committee
was told by Capt. T. T. Craven,
director ofnaval aviation whOsub-
mitted a program calling for
S12, 2,S90,OOO for the fiscal year
1920.
The two giant seaplanes, twice
the size of the etrans. Atlantic NC-4
would cost $685., 900, he says.
The machines would have a Ca
pacity of 30 tons, wing spread
of 140 feet and would be capable
of weathering high seas if forced
to land on the water.
Capt. Craven also asked that
Congress provide $l0,O00,0OO for
new air stations; $7,600,OO0 for
maintenance of existing stations
and S7,000,OO0 for experiments.

CLOTHING WILL Be HIGHER THIS FALL.

The continued increase in the
cost of materials used in making
suits, overcoats, etc, indicates
that an wooden apparel will be
about sixty five per cent higher
next fall, than in the fall Of 1919.
Manufacturers say that not only
have the wooden fabrics advanc-
ed, but that Innings have advanc-
ed, together with labor, about 35
per cent.
This increased cost of material
and labor means that suits that
sold for fifty dollars last fall will
have to be sold for $3.50 this fall
and that an overcoat which sold
for 500 last winter, will be emark-
ed $162.5O.
This increase will not be due to
protiteering on the part of the To-
cal merchants, as they will really
make less money than when a
suit could be bought for $50 and
sold for S25. 1t will work con-
siderable hardship on the mer-
chants to carry as large a stock
as they usually carry, as the mon
ey necessary to purchase large
stock of clothing would be equal
to a small fortune. Furthermore,
the retailer is met with the prop
osition of paying his clerks high
er wages, rentsarehigherfre
rates have increased, and so with
every other item of expense.
