Real Rest Depends Largely Upon
the Depth of Your Sleep

The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,

This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are
at rest.
You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agtated with tea or coffee. Both these
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.

MOTOR CAR RACER FINDS

When Rodolph Valentino, the Uni

ton picture photographer grinding
an ungainly looking camera at the
finish line.

splendid moving picture of me as

That evening the drawing room of
the palatial home was turned into a

who is directing the gigantic filmi-
cation Of the Ibanez novel. "The
reason is that we will use service

the turning point of the war.
Incidentally, it will be unneces-

HARRY CAREY IN LOVE
WITH GREAT OUTDOORS

Although the photoplays in which
Harry Carey has been appearing for
the past year are catalogued under
the title Of Western pictures, the dis
corning theatergoers know that the
phrase does not justly describe these
productions. A better description or
the Harry Carey features would be
human dramas with Western atmos-
phere.
Harry Carey is in love with the
great outdoors The range and the
mountains and the open sky trans
formed him from a pallid college
youth to virile man and he feels
that he owes an eternal debt Of graft
tude to natures vast open spaces.
He, therefore, prefers to surround his
screen stories with an atmosphere Of
the great West, with its great open
stretches, it's trackless range, and its
rugged canyons. But the stories
themselves are just human nature
with plots that would be just as Of
fective il woven into "A drama of city
life.
After all. it's the way that Harry
Carey depicts role that matters
most Be the character rancher or
cowboy, mine owner or hobo. Carey
puts just the requisite amount of hu-
man nature in the part to make 1t
popular with the audience. This
is accomplished by 80 per cent acting
skill and so per cent personality. OF
Carey's acting there is no doubt. lie
starred on the stage before he went
before a camera, and he had his early
screen training under the direction Of
David Griffith. But 1t is his magnetic
personality. his human qualities. and
his irresistible smile that win the
audience.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF
THE GOVERNMENT

We are informed that good many
people are reading the tax articles
running in this paper and that some
of them are checking up on informa-
ton which they happen to know
about that is not revealed by the tax
articles. People who have knowl-
edge of the way the deputy assessors
did thir work and of the hours they
put in and the amount of time they
charged for, say that the county has
been taken advantage of in some of
these matters, but they do not like to
stir up strife among their neighbors
by going on record with the informa-
tion they possess.
All they say is that they think peo-
pie who are given employment at
such good wages ought to be awfully
conscientious about putting in the
full time which they charge for. Ac-
cording to the information that is
brought to US, there are plenty of
people in the country, who would like
to be deputy assessor at S. day and
not saying anything about mileage.

GIRLS OF TODAY

Some people, II one is to, draw his
conclusions from the news dispatches
are very much concerned over the
physical we'll being of the young
women of today.
One expert announced not many
weeks ago, that girls are gradually
growing taller, that statistics kept In
girls colleges show a steady increase
in the average height Of college
women. g..
A few days later the worId was
told by those who had been pursuing
an investigation in a particular east
ern college, that the girls Of today
do not measure up worth cent to
the standard set by the Greeks who
sculptured Venus.
The latest revelations come from
Lawrence, Kan, where DR.. Martha
M. Bacon has been taking some fleet
pictures" or Photographs as she
chooses to call them. She reports
that fiat feet, calloused feet, de-
formed feet and feet with things on
them that do not belong there. are
very common among the university
women. Her little black and white
pictures show that only one girl in
all the University of Kansas has feet
perfectly formed and developed and
she, strangely enough, is the daugh-
ter of missionary and comes from
Chicago, which doesn't prove thing.
All in all, the revelations being
made to mere man are calculated to
make him hurry to seek out his
woman while yet the female of the
species is not too tall, nor yet too
inferior to Venus, nor yet crippled by
pedal deformities. But wags will in
evitably say that, figure as the uni
versity research workers will, buried
in, their books and their tables OF
statistics, they are wrong, quite
wrong about the deterioration of
women. For the Wags have been out
on the streets where one caA see
much-very much-and they are
sure-very sure-that the women
are still running true to form.

BE THINKING OF
OUR FAIR u.

The time has come for the board
OF county commissioners and the
farm bureau to map out their 1921
fair program, elect the officers to at
tend to 1t, employ the man. or who
ever is going to be the business man
ager and be working on the prelim-
inaries in their season. While the
fair comes in September, there are a
lot of business arrangements that
9 must be made during the summer
and spring and some Of them in the
preceding winter to get as properly
advertised on the circuit and to get
exhibitors to be making their prelim-
mary arrangements and their pre-
liminary engagements so they can be
with us at our fair time.
A fair board should be selected
and secretary of the fair should be
employed and the time to consider
those things and get them attended
to, is now while people are not too
busy to give it their attention. The
same thing applies to the work of
the farm bureau and it's membership.
People who are going to ally them
selves with the farm bureau plans,
should decide now and plan and
work accordingly. We have heavy
investment in both enterprises; they
are worth everything they have cost
us and by careful planning we should
keep them worth more than we put
into them. lnese sare not institu-
lions that can be handled on a tenn
porary plan or from hand to mouth,
but they require foresight and ar
rangements made far in advance.
They cannot be handled on the plan
of the native of India, whom the
traveller tells about. The story runs:
The American travelling for a men
agerie in quest of wild animals for
exhibit, came to a lapge river in
India and wanted to cross. Seeing a
native sitting in the shade with his
boat tied to bush by the river bank,
he explained to the native that he
wanted to get across the river and
was willing to pay to be transported.
The native replied, ''Sir, I have eaten
today and have had plenty, have no
desires, but you may take my boat
and row yourself across and if | want
the boat tomorrow will swim for
it," =.
