"The Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come

Jack Pickford secretly cherished
a hope, years ago, that he would, at
one time or another, make the pic
ture called "The Little Shepherd Of
Kingdom Come ard he has at last
realized his hope. "The Little Snep-
herd of Kingdom Come" is The first
Goldwyn starring vehicle for Jack
Pickford, and can be seen at the
opera house Tuesday.
The story was written by the
John Fox, Jr., ard concerns little
mountain waif whose destiny, work
ed out by the God of Chance, trans
plants him from one grade o. society
to another with such ease and
smoothness that the little mountain
boy is not aware of the change.
The role of mountain boy IS a
new departure for Jack Pickfcrd and
the change from his usual role OF the
young society man has proven very
desirable to him. In every day lie
Jack Pickford is fresh air enthus-
last and his favorite sports are all
outdoors. The role Of a mountain
lad gives him the opportunity to eS-
hibit some of his athletic prowess'
of which he takes full advantage.

EAGLES DRIVE
 MOVING FAST

Are you an agle? If not, why not?" are the questions being asked of every likely prospect in Bridge port by members of Bridgeport Aerie, No. APO, F'raternal Order of Eagles, in their united effort to reach the goal of 5000 new members which they have set out to reach during the present campaign. That they are reaping a reward is easily seen by the records kept by the membership com mittee, whose members are highly gratified at the results obtained dur ing the first week of the drive. This is the end of the first week and the members are surprised at the number who have already enrolled.
 Considerable interest is also being taken in the new nest which is no.v in process of formation. Although it is not generally known the Eag: e:i disposed of their old home some time ago with the view of purchasing a new club house where all modern means of entertainment will be pro- vided. Just where the new home will be located has not yet been decided but several sites are in prospect. This is but one of the inducements the members are offering prospective ap- plicants during the drive which has already assumed unexpected propor- tiOnS.

wouldn't stop her." the mother of the girls declared.
 I could not help wondering what feelings exist between the two sis ters. who have shared the affections of the same man. Would Katherine ever regret refusing the fine, up- standing young farmer who has won her sister? Does Anna feel resent ment at her sister for not recognizing the merits which characterize Bur find? Does she feel she is second choice or a more mature choice? And what is Anna's secret opinion Of her sister, who refused the man with whom Anna is brave enough to cast her lot in far-off Washington? How unique the position of the mother to watch the lives of her two children bound by interest in the same man, since we assume Katherine must have liked John somewhat to get herself engaged to him.
 Some of these questions were put to Burfind and to the mother. They answered with smiles.
 Was 13 Her Jinx?
 After a minute-"Katheri is do ing what she wants to do.' said John and I believe everyone has that right. She is happy,Sand so are Anna and I. Mother here wants us all to arrange things as we see best There are no misunderstanding anywhere I know what you want me to say, the kind of things about love and on but I must ~diSappoinI you.

 Though Miss Katherine is very pleasant to look at, John is one of those who say what care I how fair she be if she be not fair to me-
 John may be a farmer, but he does not lack the speed and resourceful- the city dweller exclusively. John up and got engaged to Katherine's sis ter, Anna, older than her by year and not scornful of farm life.
 The first license-to marry Miss Katherine Rupy-was taken out on October 13, and fifteen days sufficed for the second courtship, which re- suited in another license for Anna be- ing drawn up recently.
 You see," exclaimed John, a tall, rugged-looking young fellow in cor duroy trousers and a khaki shirt, Katherine is not quite ready to mar ry yet. She doesn't know her mind, and I think every girl has a right to be real sure before she turns over her whole life, you might rax, .- a fellow.

 Katherine has a good osition, get ting along fine She feels she wants to stay here in the East with her mother a while.
 No one could say I jumped from one girl to the other.
 then I got in the army and was stationed near here I met with the two Rupy girls-Katherine 1lrsr-anc used to take them both out to places like them both, too. Well, finally Katherine and I got engaged and she thought it@ov and decided against marrying me. Shew asn't sure and then I turned naturally to Anna I have always, since the beginning, been the best of friends with the whole family. and everybody seems satisfied

TO INVESTIGATE
 MOTOR SEIZURES

Berlin. Noov. 12-The alleged in tention of the Council of Ambassadors to confiscate high speed Diesel motors in Germany, whether they are in finished state and in use or in the process of construction, is to be made the subject of a diplomatic inquiry.
 This action follows the recent visit of an Entente commission to the big Augsburg industrial plant for the pur- pose of requisitioning motors which are subsequently, to be dismantled or destroyed on the ground that they are suitable for submarines and therefore war material.
 A messa ge from Munich stated that workers on these motors were coming 2 to Berlin to protest against seizure of the Diesel stationary motors not usa- ble for U-boat purposes.
 A semi-official statement says that the inhibition of the manufacture of the motors used for legitimate purpose would mean a heavy loss to German industry and result in a large number of workers being out of employment.
