The story though running through
the entire list of emotions is simply
told. A poor young man is cast by
a plausible within of chance at the feet
of millionaire's daughter. What's
to be expected They fall in love
Enter cupidity in the person of a
business adventurer. He offers to
finance the poor young mans court
ship-for selfish reasons-and the love-
stricken youth falls for the deceit
When he realizes that his pose of
mighty man in the business world is
unfair to the girl whom he really
loves, his better nature wins and he
stakes happiness in the confession.
Sure-he gets her. 1t would be a
poor story ana picture if he didn't.
He gets her through revealing his
true worth and ability.
A glance at the plot and one knows
that players of talent and experience
are necessary to assure the success
of such play so free from melodra-
matte complications and as to catch
the interest of the audience. Such
cast has been furnished by the
director.

BREvITY THE SOUL OF LAW

From the same bench upon which
superior judges have committed such
offenders as Tom Mooney, Consul
Franz Bopp, Won Brinsken and Cor
della Bodkin, Mary MacLaren, the
Universal star, was recently senten-
ced to ten days in the San Francisco
county Jail.
Miss MacLaren was sentenced by
fellow player who depicted the role
of the judge in "a Petal on the Cur
rent" filmed from the story by Fan
ME Hurst which appeared in the Cos
mopolitan Magazine.
Tod Browning, director, was not
content with make-believe for the
metropolitan scenes. He required the
star to be arrested, to go to jail and
to be sentenced from the identical
bench at which many a jurist has
Go3e1.
There is> a story which Miss Mac
Laren says is intimately associated
with that particular bench.
"Years ago." she said, cit was &C.
cupied by fine old Irish Judge who
used to handle the cases this way,
"'What's your name ?-Smith-are
ye-guilty-or- not guilty thirty
days-next case.
What's your name ?-O'Hoolihan,
Ell? Now Mr.. O'Hoolihan, it grieves
me to see you here for the fourth time
this week. Officer Mur-r-r-phy-take
Mr.. O'Hoolihan into my chambers and
see if he can't sleep it off,"
Browning's company spent an en-
tire week in San Francisco filming
the metropolitan scenes for "a Petal
on the Current" today at the Royal
Theatre.

love CHEAT" SIMPLY GREAT
GREATLY SIMPLE

Given astory with the heart touch
with a sub-plot of high finance; play
it with actors of intelligence, under
the stage direction of a master hand.
and there one finds the germ of box
office success. All these attributed
apparently are included in "The Love
Cheat" which is hearlded as attrac-
ton at the Royal Theatre tomorrow.

Caprice, fresh from their success in
"Oh Boy another Capellani-Pathe

and Charles Coleman. The story is
an adaptation by Peggy Mccall of g
French play which had great vogue
in Paris under the title "Le Danseur'

"12:1O"

The most appealing stories are
those that have the element of mys-
terry. The trouble with many of the
mystery pictures and plays is due
to the inability of the authors to sus-
tain the suspense until the very end.
When this can be done masterpiece
is the result. Not once in a hundred
times has this been done. Herbert
Brenon, the master director, whose
work for screen reproduction has
stamped him as genius is respon-
sible for a mystery photoplay that
is the most amazing series of sus-
tanned, suspense situations contrived
for the entertainment of patrons of
picture theatres shown in many years
1t bears the title of "12:10." Marie
Doro, one of the most noted stars
ever drafted from the spoken stage
for screen work, heads the cast of
unusual merit that gives this super
siX-reel feature standing that will
be hard to duplicate.
1t is the first American-made pic
ture with Paris and rural England
as a background that has been shown
in our theatres.
The story opens in simple way
by the telling of the experiences of
Fernando, who ekes out living for
his little daughter, Marie, and him
self by contriving little odd art fig
ures which he sells to dealers. For
some time things have gone badly,
with him. He reaches the end of his
resources when his latest work which
he hopes will lift him from poverty
is turned down by dealer. His idea
mas been stolen.
To end his troubles, he wanders
down to the banks of the River Seine
and there beneath it's cold waters he
finds way to oblivion. Marie,
frenized by his long absence, goes
out to seek him. Attracted by her
pathetic personality Lord Chatterton,
an English nobIeman, tries to COM
fort her. Marie finally realizes that
she will never see her father again,
consents to go with her benefactor
to England and live with him as his
daughter and heir.
In the course of time as the young
girl grows up she becomes the OBJ
ject of passion of Newton, the Sec
rotary of his lordship. Newton re-
solves to possess the girl as well as
the for une which will be hers at the
death of Lord Chatterton, inserts a |
clause in the will of his employer |
that compels Marie to remain TWEEN
ty-four hours beside the body of her |
adopted father in silent prayer. Chat
terton dies. His body lies in state |
in lonely castle far removed from |
human habitation. 1t is midnight |
The young girl, highly nervous, is
almost at the breaking point after
her long vigil. The end is near, the !
covers on the bed move, door
creaks, it slowly opens and-thus does
the most mysterious series of COM
plications begin that would BATTLE the
greatest solver of the uncanny mys-
teries since the days of Edgar Allan
Poe.
This master picture will be the at
traction at the Lyric Theatre on Sat-
urday and Sunday. It will grip and
hold you as no other feature has ever
done.

men in this country who have put
their hostility to Mr.. Wilson above
their sense Of duty to the world and
to humanity. There will be an awak-
ening among them some time. They
are Obstinately blind; the great mass
of people in this country are strange
ly blind to the march of events in
Europe and beyond Europe, to the
present and visible, to the future but
certain consequences of our repudia-
ton of responsibility, of our renun-
citation of that leadership in worlds
affairs to which Mr.. Wilson refers.
All these things are high as the hea-
vens above mere delegate getting,
platform making, campaign manag-
ing. They are too high and at the
present too far away to be felt and
seen save by those in watch-towe1s.
Mr.. Wilson may not profoundly
have influenced the course of cam
paign politics by this exhortation to
stand firm, but he has kept his record
clear, he has reaffirmed deathless and
unconquerable principles of which
some day all men will have to take
account. Justice will be awarded to
him upon the scroll of history and in
the opinion of men of later day
New York Times.

conference of the State Committee
that if the five aspirants for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor
stayed in the race until primary day
and no angel with well-filled barrel
bobbed up to enliven the running, At
kinson would have the support of at
least two or three St. Louis City
Committeeman anxious to line up
with one of the two candidates who
stand chance of landing the big ap-
pie. Other St. Louis Committeeman
from now on will watch the move
ments of Farris and Judge Mayer of
st. Joseph, and finally support the one
who shows the most strength out in
rural Missouri.
Possible Entry of Jacobs or
Crittenden
The possible entry of either Floyd
E. Jacobs or Thomas T. Crittenden,
both of Kansas City, as Democratic
candidate for Governor, was preached
by party leaders from western Mis-
souri, but not encouraged for fear one
or the other would get in and further
complicate the race. 1t was pointed
out that Kansas City already has a
candidate in Col. Garrett who is being
supported by Burris Jenkins and the
Kansas City Post and that it would
endanger the future prestige of both
Joe Shannon and Tom Pendergast in
Jackson county to openly oppose that
favorite of the Missouri "doughboys";
especially since he was lured into the
combat mainly on the strength of a
petition from 10000 demobilized sol
diers of western Missouri pleading
with him to make the race.

HANNA'S DISCIPLES ERR

That tariff bill for the protection of
Du Pont dyestuffs monopoly in it's ex-
elusive rights to farm the Western
Hemisphere outside of Canada APP
appears to have lost its place on the
t Senate calendar as result of the re
cent exposure. But il has. rot been
killed. 1t has not been voted down
and out. 1t can be brought up at any
-. time.
What makes this matter especially
curious is that the bill should have
been put forward at this particular
time. The Old Guard used to man.
age these things differently. Whoev-
er before heard of its crowding mo-
nopoly tariff bills right in advance of
a presidential election for the protec-
ton of the Steel Trust or the Tin
Plate Trust or the Woolens Trust or
the Cotton Trust or any other tariff
fostered or tariff guarded trust?
That would have been no way to ex-
act maximum trust contributions for
use in the election campaign. Pub
licity to display the goods and at
tempt their delivery in advance Of
spot cash payments therefrom would
have been the surest means not only
OF awakening public suspicion but Of
leading somebody to write teil-tale
letter.
We do not wonder that the conya-
descent Senator Penrose returns from
the South all out of sorts with the
way the party's Presidential affairs
have been ordered il. his absence.
Such blacksmithing as this in the very
school of Mark Hanna tradition ought
to bring suffering to Senator Moses
or somebody. Meantime the solemn
announcement goes forth that. the
Ryestuffs Tariff Bill is dead-4for
this session" But for the next ses-
sion after the election? That is an
ether matter, as it used to be in the
good old days Of contributions first
and delivery Of the goods afterwards.

Mayer Supporters Very Enthusiastic

l
Mayer Supporters Very Enthusiastic
Mayer-for- Governor boosters were
numerous and much in evidence while
the party lovefeast was in progress
in the Capitol City. Judge Harry E.
Alexander Of Cape Girardeau freely
impaired the information to all who
would listen that the st. Joseph man
would carry that city and county pri-
mary day. Editor Omar Grey of the
Sturgeon Leader who is also State
Petroleum Inspector, announced that
Judge Mayer would sweep Boone
county for the reason that he was
born there, is well and favorably
known and very popular. James E.
Cox of st. Joseph, Treasurer of the
State Committee, let it be known that
northwest Missouri was solid for their
former State Senator, Judge Mayer.
On top of all, Judge Mayer, who spent
Sunday here, was confident he would
win.
Tim Birmingham, State Game and
Fish Commissioner, who lives at St.
James, Phelps county, and James A.
Bradshaw 81 Kansas City, State
| Warehouse Commissioner, could see
nothing ahead but Farris landslide.
; Frank H. Lee of Joplin predicted that
Farris would beat Atkinson two to one
in Jasper county, and that Mayer
would run third there. He insisted
that the same condition existed
throughout the entire Fifteenth Con-
gressional District. Charles l.. Woods,
editor of the Rolla Herald, informed
those who were anxious to know how
the Sixteenth District would go that
Farris would outclass Atkinson there
| four to one. that Garrett would run
poor third, and that Judge Mayer
ana Lieutenant Governor Crossley
would only gather in scattering vote.
Wallace CrOssley as Confident
! as Ever
Atkinson was the only one Of the
five gubsrnatorial candidates who at
tended the conference of the State
Committee. In his usual good natured
and diplomatic way he let it be known
that the nomination would surely be
his. Early in the day he announced
he would oppose any plan to elimi-
nate any candidate for the reason
that such a move would be undemo-
cratic. As the recognized runner-up
| in the coming primary every politi.
! clan in attendance gave him the glad
hand. He was assured of the unan-
imous support of Democracy in case
the nomination became his, and in
turn he let it be known that after

MARION COUNTY FARMERS
USING GROUND LIMESTONE

Mo:e ground limestone than ever
befoie has been applied to lands in
Marion county, according to F. G..
Kraegie, county agent. lne material
costs $40 ton on the track. If the
results are as good as the farmers
making the Applications expect, there
will be a great demand for ground
limestone next year in Marion county.
The application of ground limestone
to soils really needing this sweetening
has been provided by the University or
Missouri College of Agriculture to be
far beyond the experimental stage.
Many tests have been made on the
outlying experimental fields and in
all cases the application Of ground
limestone has paid for itself through
one or more seasons crops.

s. J. A. NOTES

The last week has been, and is, Freshie week, and the Freshies have given us something every morning in devotional. The dance Friday night will be given by them. Also the program Friday morning. Everybody come out. The Domestic Science de part ment is going strong this semes- ter as is proven by the feeJ of icecream and cake that they gave to the school last Friday They have a fine lot of new equipment. including a stove, and have two classes of sixteen students. If you don't think that they can cook, come out any time next Friday and sample one of the pies that they are going to place on sale then. They hope to sell enough to help buy some more equipment. Any one wanting pies for their conference visitors should buy them of this depart ment.
 The student body organization is certainly going strong this semester. The student body court, organized last week. has a case already. With this orgahi- zation going, there will not be so much disloyalty to the student body and school. We have been doing some work the past week and have fixed up a fine little of flee for the student body.
 The first school play of the year will be given on February P. Don't forge.s it. It is a Mer. ry college farce, entitled "A Strenous Life, and is certainly a hummer.

Push Yourself Along.

Some people sit through life waiting for others to push them along.
 If they are showed asdie in the scramble they are peeved. Their talents have not been properly recognized.
 If they are forgotten in the hurly- y-burly they become a grouch. The world is topsy-turvy.
 And so they drift along from one year to another, peeving, growing, grouching through life to the doleful tune of their own shiftless incompetency.
 It's a mistake-the wrong per spective of existence.
 Life is too short to worry about the fellow who lags behind.
 The man who won't push must expect to be showed.
 Pushing is a great game. It gets you somewhere. The hard CT you push the further you go. and if you push hard enough and often enough and long enough you can reasonably expect to push yourself to the top.
 Keep pushing, young man.
 Push with a will and a purpose and with definite goal in view. Set your aims so high that it makes you dizzy even to dream of them and remember that only pushing will get you there.
 You may not reach the pinnacle of your desires, but you will climb to heights which will stamp you man of men.
 The pusher is a man of parts.
 The laggard is but part of a man.

AND THE GOAT PAYS.

When the president appointed price fixing committees in various sections of the country it was as- sumed that these committees would take some definite action toward checking the rampant profteering which is ravaging the nation.
 But apparently it has had about as much effect as a puff of wind in the teeth of a gale.
 Here is a sample.
 In Chicago they have price fixing committee. and a sub-com- mittee on coal. On that sub-com- mittee are nine members-three operators, three wholesalers and three retailers all people who SELL COAL, and are naturally interested in squeezing the con- sumer to the limit of squeezibil- ity.
 Whether or not this farcical condition is typical of the country as a whole, we do not know. But even a wooden Indian would have more brains than to expect relief from a committee composed of the very interests that have been doing the boosting.
 The country expected much from the price fixing machinery.
 It has received many glowing promises, and is waiting for full fillment.
 But waiting is virtue when necessity makes 1t such. And the consumer is so virtuous from long waiting that he is in prime condition for another royal plucking.
 In time. no doubts. we goats will learn to expect nothing and receive less than we expect.
 It is a great lite-for all but the goats.
