luminous coal mines in Indiana and
Illinois, closed last week because of
a strike of day men, were being re-
opened today, according to a state
ment issued from headquarters of

MARY PICKFORD'S
GREATEST PLAY

Critics everywhere assert that
"follyanna" is one of the greatest
p1cture-plays ever filmed. The rea
son for this is that the philosophy
upon which the story is based con-
stituted a theme which at the pres
ent time has an unusually wide ap-
peal. This production will be the
feature at the Rialto theater TODAY
and tomorrow.
Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with
CHARACTERISTIC far-sightedness, had
TINS IN mind when she chose this
celebrated work as her first vehicle
for the United Artists Corporation,
There is a great craving at the
present time on the part of the pub
lie, according to best informed show
men, for something more than mere
entertainment. Of course, diversion
is always the paramount thing when
ever amusement is considered, but at
the same time people want something
big and compelling something that
will drive home few truths without
preaching a sermon or spelling the
flavor of a show which is meant to
entertain.
Such a story is "Pollyanna," with
its cheerful philosophy of gladness.
1t is believed that this production.
coming at a time. when the country
is upset by period of readjustment,
will have an unprecedented reception
from the picture patrons.
Miss Pickford points out in this
story that even when things are bad
they might be worse. This thought.
planted in the minds of people who
are dissatisfied with wage conditions.
or who think they are not getting a
fair price for their goods, will tend
to stimulate line of mental activity
which will result in stabilizing condi-
tions.
The most progressive of the picture
stars believe in choosing plays, wher-
ever possible, which will act as
propaganda of good. 1t is their am
bition to have each screen medium
serve definite purpose, and with this
in mind Mary Pickford decided to
picturize Eleanor HI. Porter's famous
book. So "Pollyanna" is a picture
with mission.

THIS is A VITAL QUESTION
CONCERNING ABILENE PARKS

This is a question Of parks-not
hearts.
The trouble resulted from the fact
that Abilene has so many parks
the court house park, the city park
the Union Pacific park and the H.
brary park-that the men didn't
know which to choose.
An article in all county papers
stated that the Dickinson County
Ministerial association would meet In
the Abilene city park on Monday
afternoon, August 80. at o'clock Tor
a picnic, and program.
The ministers came to town. and
so did their families. At 2:3O they
commenced the search for the park,
One group went to the city park,
alias the fair grounds, and the other
group went to the library park. The
president Of the association was In
the latter place. while the secretary
and treasurer went to the former
park. The ministers were divided
Just half and half
And so Klere was a quorum at
neither place. The president could
MT act without the secretary and the
secretary and treasurer were helpless
without the president.
And so they all departed In peace
but no meeting or picnic. Oh
hannY daY!

The expenditure Of half the sum on

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION


An appeal for wise, conservative
| leadership" IN labor organizations
and adjustment OF labor's grievances
in a court Of reason" Ii made by
Governor Henry J. Allen In procla'
nation designating Sept. @, Labor
Day, a legal holiday In Kansas.
Declaring organization OF labor to
be a necessity, Gov. Allen warned
against "indiscreet" labor leaders,
who counsel extreme measures as
menace to labor's best interests.
The proclamation follows:
"In conformity with legislative
action and in cheerful compliance
with custom, ! hereby designate and
proclaim Monday, Sept o, 1920, a
legal holiday. recognized by law and
commonly known as Labor Day.
"This day is designated to permit
all classes Of wage earners to sus-
pend their usual vacations In order
that they may join in such recrea-
ton as may be deemed proper for
their enjoyment; 1t Is also an occa-
sion for the advancement Of the In
terests with which they are identi-
fed.
Labor IL a creative power OF
wealth. Without II there can be no
growth or development. 1t must pro-
duce from the soil that upon which
mankind subsists. 1t must bring forth
from the mine, the quarry, the for
est, the focks, and fashion for use
all things needful for human com
fort. There can be no trade. no
commerce. no prosperity-in short,
human existence is impossible with
out labor. In the sweat Of his face
shall man eat bread is the devine fiat
which cannot be annulled. The ma.
ton that honors labor and best re-
G<d stimulates toll, that
provides for legal machinery In the
impartial adjudication of its rights.
is the government most beloved by
it's citizens and will be most endur-
ing and prosperous.
ut is to be hoped that Labor day
will be fittingly observed by all our
people. Especially is 1t heedful that
public addresses on this day be Of
such character as to promote its best
interests and give to the people a
higher convention of government"
