GREAT sUpER-DRAMA
TO SHOW HERE

''The Woman in His House" with
an all star cast, which includes Mil
dred Harris will open an engagement
at the Y. M. C. A. in this city next
Wednesday and Thursday is in every
sense of the word screen master
piece, ranking with the greatest mo-
ton pictures ever made. The theme,
which presents a striking example
of the divine power of mother love,
is so thoroughly human that even
the most critical audience cannot fail
to enjoy it. Age-old and time-worn,
it is ever new and really constitutes a
bulwark of all social life. In this
instance the hand of genius may be
seen in the development of the theme
and in the rare and touching emo
tons, which have been brought out
under the direction of John Stahl.
Mildred Harris has the leading
feminine role, and she is seen in
a new light. The story concerns four
people whose counterpart may be
found in any gathering of representa-
tive human beings-the materials
tic husband, the love-craving wife,
the philosophic friend, and the child.
Ramsey Wallace appears opposite
Miss Harris as the too busy husband,
an eminent physician. Engrossed
in his work of fighting terrible cpl
demic. among children, he is unaware
that his own baby boy has been
stricken by the malady until another
doctor is called. He fails to effect
a cure an dthe child is faced with the
prospect of going through life a
hopeless cripple. But when science
fails mother love triumphs and
Straightens out the twisted limbs
and restores vigor to the wasted
little body. The acting of little
Richard Hedrick as the stricken in
FAINT is a revelation, and recalls the
marvellous work of the crippled char
acters in "The Miracle Man." The
other players who have helped to
make The Woman in His House" a
classic of the Screen are Thomas
Holding, George Fisher, Gareth
Hughes, Winter Hall, Catherine Van
Buren, and Bob Walker. Irene Reels
is the autheor of this powerful screen
story.

A local pastor was talking to a
woman whose name he had not
caught. The name of the Reverend
Doctor Blank was mentioned, where
upon he said: 'Well, to me, Doctor
Blank is dry old stick! Do you
not think so ?"
NO." answered the lady sweetly;
"but perhaps l should if he were
not my husband"
Little Edward had lived much
among his pet kittens. So when he
went with his mother to church to
see his twin sisters baptized, and
saw the water in the font, he turned
to his mother and asked: Mother,
which che OF the two are you going
to keep"
A speaker was irritated by the
noise made by the assemblage.
"Silence." he roared. 81 want this
hall to be so still you can hear pin

for a moment; then an irresponsible
youth piped up: Letter drop"

DECREASE IN GROSS REVENUE.
Union Pacific Reports Loss of 1871
Per Cent in january.

Consideration of the financial sta
tistics of the Union Pacific for the
month of January. 1921, as compared
with those of January, 1920, show
that there has been a decrease in the
gross revenue of the road during the
first month of the present year, of
$2,471,154, or 1871 per cent.
Figures on the costs of maintenance
during the same months show that the
operating expenses during January OF
1921 amounted to $12,092,006. an in
crease of $643,s17, from the same ex-
penses during the same month of 1920
which amounted to Sc per cent.
There were no extraordinary expen-
ditures, the increase being the result
of higher unit costs of labor and ma
terials.
The estimate of railway taxes for
the month was larger than that of the
same month of 1920.
The net income Of the road, after
the gross expenses had been subtracted
from the gross income, showed a debit
of $124,351, as against a profit of
s6,391, $50 last year. The prorating of
the tax budget thru the year has made
it difficult to determine the actual
earnings during any one month Of the
year
The actual net earnings of the road
during January, amounted to $685.

THEIR WINTER is SHORTER.
Railroads Would Change the Calendar
When Furnishing Heat.

The weather man has apparently
kidded the railroads into the belief
that the mild winter and early spring
of 1920-'21 is the indication of a per-
manent change in the winter climate
of the middle west.
Recently the carriers filed a supple
mental schedule of freight rates which
stated that they were cutting down
their winter period'-the period dur
ing which they agree to furnish car
heater service for perishable goods
shipped in freight cars.
Hitherto the roads have furnished
heaters for carlot shipments of perish
able goods from October 15 to April
Is in the middle west. The new
schedule stated that they would fur
nish the heater service only from De-
cember 1 to March I.
The shippers protested and the frf-
terstate commerce commission suS-
pended the schedule of heater services
until a hearing can be held.
The date of the hearing has been
set as for April g.. in st. Louis, Mo-, and
the question will also be argued be-
fore the Kansas public utilities CONS
mission.
The territory affected by the re-
duction in the heating service which
the carriers propose, includes Kansas.
Colorado, Utah, Iowa, Illinois and
other states.
