Tonight in ''BilliOns."
Billions" Nazimova's newest pro-
| duction, is from French sources and

her best at the Dirigo tonight. 1t
| is pronounced one of her greatest
pictures, notably becuse of the great
variety of emotional expression it
| permits to the gifted Russian star
| and the lavishness of it's pictorial
| background.
The plot of "Billions" revolves
about people of wealth and high po-
sition., Nazimova's role is that of
Russian princess. who is widowed
when the Bolsheviki blow her titled
husband to atoms with a bomb. She
has been estranged from. the prince
and is in New York, living in the
heart of the uptown art colony of the
metropolis.
The princess has fallen in love
with a poet whom she has never seen
One day the poet is suddenly lifted
from obscurity into aff1uence through
the death of a fabulously rich uncle.
Now millionaire, he discards his
identity as poet and sets out to see
life and spend his newly-inherited
dollars.
The princess, meanwhile, has be-
come wealthy through the taking off
of her spouse, and she meets the
poet, acclaimed as multi-million-
aire, at fashionable southern Cali
fornia hotel. They fall in love, but
some designing schemers endeavor to
blackmail the poet-millionaire, and
the princess comes to his rescue by
sacrificing her own reputation as
good woman.
Billions appeared first on the
French stage under another title.
Nazimova herself was responsible for
the designing of some of the ex-
ceptionally beautiful settings.

No Change in Ford Cars.

The Ford Motor Co. looks for rec
ord season, according to c. L. Morang,
the Ellsworth agent In a recent let
ter from w. A Ryan, general sales
manager of the Ford Motor Co., it was
emphasized that there will be no
change in design or further reduction
in price He stated that there is no
guarantee, however, against an ad-
vance in price. Also, the present price
can only continue so long as manu-
featuring costs warrant.
Figures up to January 1 show that
the Ford car for the pas months has
been sold actually below cost Of
great interest to he buying public is
the undisputed fact that the Ford car
is lower in price than in the year 1914,
or. in other words, less than prewar
price. Such a condition is extremely
rare in this day of high prices in any
line of manufactured utilities.
That the public fully appreciates the
significance of it is manifest by the
fact that the Ford Motor Co. conf
IDENTIFY predicts that it will be unable
to supply the demand for cars from
those who delay buying before spring.

DIED UNKNOWN.
Ellsworth's Mystery Woman" Kept
Her Secret to the End.

Her Secret to the End.
The unknown woman who was
dropped in Ellsworth by an automo-
bile party on Sunday, Sept 26 last,
and became known as the mystery
woman" because she could or would
give no clue to her identity, died at
the city farm in Ellsworth last
Thursday, her secret still untold
The woman was picked up by a
Sunday automobile party near Phil
lips lake, and asked to be brought to
Ellsworth. She was dropped at the
corner of Main and Oak streets, and
after wandering aimlessly about
that vicinity for some time, was
taken in charge by Sheriff Wescott
The woman was about seventy
years of age, of large build, and,
though poorly dressed, showed evil
dences of refinement and used good
language. She had with her num-
Der of cheaply-bound bibles which
she said she was selling. She also
had small amount of money. All
questions to establish hr identity
failed. She either would not or
could not tell her name or her home,
but the impression left upon all who
questioned her was that she parted
the questions, rather than failed to
understand them or to know the
answer. She fought successfully
against efforts to take her photo
graph.
Sheriff Wescott exhausted every
effort to establish her identity.
Descriptions were published widely,
and brought many inquiries, but she
remained unidentified. The most
promising inquiry came from a man
in Massachusetts who telephoned to
Sheriff Wescott, and after receiving
fuller description, said be believed
the woman to be his sister, He said
he would leave for Ellsworth the next
day. He never showed up, never
wrote. and his name and address are
unknown.
After a few days the woman was
taken to the city farm, where she was
detained as State charge Most of
the time, from choice rather than
necessity, she kept to her bed. One
night, about two months ago, in an
effort to escape from her room on the
second floor on a rope of bedding, she
fell and broke one ankle.
She died Thursday, after a short
illness of pneumonia. She carried
her secret with her.

Trade Opportunities In China.

According to recent traveller in
China, If that country had 100000
miles Of railroad and similar length
of good roads, there would be opened
up vast empire of rich resources for
settlement and development. The Chi
nese people greatly prefer to extend
their own developments and relieve
their congested cities by settling their
own country than by obtaining oppor-
tunities abroad
