Stardom Is Reward
For Ruth Shepley's
Adherence to Stage

Just as it is the ambition of nearly
every youngster to become a police
man when he grows up. with the
privilege of sampling the wares Of
peanut and fruit stands, so does
every actress aspire to achieve the
goal Of having play especially
written for her.
Which is by way of introducing
Ruth Shepley. who has registered
so huge a personal success in adam
and Eve" now running at the Long
acre Theater.
Ruth made her first footlight ap-
pesrance with Douglas Fairbanks
in "All for a Girl" and gradually
climbed in popularity through sub
sequent appearances as leading lady
for the picture star in his stage sue
cesses, "a Gentleman from Missis-
sipri," "The Cub" Hawthorne OF
the U. S. A" ami "a Gentleman of
Leisure" During this period of
her stage career she never lost sight
of an ambition of some day appear
ing in the stellar role of a play writ
ten around her personality and
talents.
Ruth set out with a definite aim
ir this direction and adhered to IT
despite the tempting offers which
have been made her ever since Mr.
Fairbanks deserted the stage for
the Silent drama" And who can
say that she does not possess all the
qualities SO necessary for screen
success-youth, beauty and talent
But in spite of having everything in
her favor for a "celluloid stardom,''
Ruth has continued on the speaking
stage, playing one whole season in
ut Pays to Advertise" followed by
''The Boomerang" and now she is
rounding out a season in adam and
Eve"
Now, as a result of her tenacity
of purpose, she is to have her re-
ward, for be 1t known. Ruth is to
join the ranks of stage stars next
season, under the management OF
Messrs. Comstock & Gest. in a
comedy-drama entitled wild Cher

WE'RE JUST
BUGS, ANYHOW

Guess it don't make much difference,
no how, whether these dingbusted ia
bugs eat is up or not, because if they
don't some other bugs will, sooner o.
Later, and such of us as escape the
bugs will get devoured in the end by
the worms. So we should worry.
And a few years n way or the other
won't cut any ice, as years are the
same as minutes, compared with time
md eternity. At best we are only
a mess of worms, tadpoles and wiggle-
~ails, anyhow, compared with the
great infinite, and things we worry
and fight over are just the same as
bread crumbs the other ants worry
and scramble over. But it is prob
ably just as well to take such pre-
cautions to stand off the bugs as long
as possible, Is we all have other
bread crumbs to fight over and
scramble for.

BUILDING UP
HUMBOLDT COUNTY

No matter how %favorably located a
town may be, or how good spirit il
has, ii takes some kind Of organized
effort to get things done. Otherwise
town spirit all evaporates in talk.
Smith u that Jones is attend
ing TO this public cause, and Jones
thinks Robinson is looking after IL,
and as a consequence nothing gets
done.
About the first step. therefore, in
rural progress, is to see that some
organization is formed to take the
responsibility for the movement for
community advance. The actual work
is apt to be done by a few people, but
these few need to feel that they have
the community backing them.
In many towns existing %organiza-
tons, like the Farm Bureau, the I'M
provement Society, the Grange, the
Farmers Club, etc., are ready to give
all the needed leadership to a for
ward movement. In others there may
be no organization representing the
whole community, or if there is one,
it is dead and needs either a burial
service or a shake-up.
The success of any such movement
depends upon faith and enthusiasm.
And there are always some who are
wonderful on starting new %organiza-
tons, but who SOC get tired, drop
out, and are not heard from again
until the mex move is started.
Winnemucca should be one of those
fortunate places that are blessed with
good faithful workers, who are al
ways full of inspiration and leader
ship, of courage and belief thai
things can and will be done. A sin
gle person with vision for the future
and a gift OF laying out definite task
that are within the peoples reach
can completely revolutionize the life
of a community, and accomplish things
that the old-timers said were impo3-
sible. But he must have good supper
from the people.

DO
THEY GET 1T?

1t might be apropos to remark thai
there are persons in every community
whose activities and ideas are sucl
that it requires a great deal of pub
licity to keep them in motion. These
appear as individuals, partners, so
cities, clubs, associations, leagues
legiOns, alliances, unions, lodges
corporations, and in almost ever
tangible and intangible form imagin-
able. To all of them the local news
paper is the vehicle by which the
few remaining outsiders are made
to know the wants, aims and ambi-
tions of those enumerated.
The newspaper is supposed to fal'
for every enterprise and propaganda
put up to it, to do it cheerfully and
with alacrity. But with Hiram
Johnson, who applied the words tc
lawyers, the publisher may be par
doned for r%emarking. Newspaper
men must eat"
To not appear to be beating around
the bush, let it be asked here, Where
do you have your printing done; 81
home or at Salt Lake or Reno? The
home paper furnishes the publicity
which the far distant job printer
could not furnish if he would.

down little the ultra-sensational models seem to have disappeared.
 The new Louis XIV bodices can be fastened at the back, at one side or di. rectly in front. In each case the fas- tening is made as invisible as possible, unless a close row of small buttons be introduced. Premet is using a great deal of taffetas, plain and shot; but indeed the same thing may be said of all the other famous dressmakers of Paris. It is the year of taffetas.
 Chez Redfern recently saw a won derful wrap made of moleskin-picked skins-which was lined with rose Du- barry brocade and finished with an enormous collar of mink. The combi- nation of fur was unexpected but very successful. Mink is to the fore for every possible purpose.
 Mink barrel-wraps are in great de mand, and the Things are always an important point. The loveliest brocades are used for this purpose, and also shot taffetas with irregular designs worked in fine silks, or striped taffetas with hand-embroideries running down certain of the lines. Linings are once more of vital importance. It is now so much the fashion to wear handsome wraps at restaurant teas or afternoon dances, throwing them off carelessly over the back of chair. that it is really necessary to give close constd- eration to the Things.
 Musquash is more fashionable than ever and it is often combined with mink-in collar form-or with kolin- sky. For young girls an entire wrap of musquash is considered more cor rect than one trimmed with another fur, and, as a matter of fact, a big, loose wrap or circular cape made en- tirely of musquash is a particularly youthful garment.
 I have seen wonderful capes which were arranged entirely in graduated f1ounces and made of astrakhan or moleskfn. It is easy to understand that such mantles need to be most carefully cut and fitted; otherwise they would look very heavy.

 The next morning she did really laugh when she retraced her steps of the night before and found just what she had expected-blank pieces of pa per.
