suit of evidence presented to the grand

| It is the governments contention. Mr.
Rand said that the combination 'has

AT THE STRAND TODAY.

A rich society girl can succeed in mo-,
ton pictures, the same as everyone else
rich or poor, who has real talent, ambl-
ton and lots of pluck. This Is proved
in the case of Grace Dawson, who Is CO.
starred with Montagu Love in one Of THU
years picture sensations. Mans Play
thing, which is the feature at the Strand
theatre.
Miss Dawson, who had some dramatic
experience. which demonstrated her tall
emit, decided not long back that shs
would go into motion pictures. What
did she do? Seek to use what influences
she could summon? Not at all Shs
went to the studios, and by dint OF pa
tience secured a small part Soon shg
made her way to the top. This is proved
by the ready response she evoked IN Tol-
stoi's Atonement, The Hidden Code, and
Wives of Men. Then she decided 20 fora
her own company and produce just Tho
type Of pictures she desired. Mans Play
thing is the first fruit of this. It ha1
already proved itself to be one Of thS
best pictures in years.

Fine Engraving
Work Exhibited.

ed. Burke Of Seattle, washing.
ton Is in Fairmont for q few days
and this evening will exhibit IN
front Of the court house what Is
probably the finest piece Of en-.
craving IN the world namely the
Lords prayer engraved on the
head Of an ordinary pin..
The work was done in 1914 by
3. n. Parker Of Spokane and was
exhibited by him ut the Panama
Exposition wherhit was considered
a marvellous piece OF engraving.
Mr.. Baker had been I'M Philadel.
phia where he saw the Lords
Prayer engraved on q dime and
conceived the idea Of doing It on
the head Of pin. Special tools
were made by him for the purpose
and he spoiled 5000 pins before
completing the work. He was also
Obliged to forego the use of tohac.
co in order to keep his nerves Ia
good condition to insure a steady
hand and eye for his work.
There are sixty.fiye words and
254 letters Id the Lords Prayer and
viewed under the magnifying glass
which enlarges the letters a9S
times, each letter and word stands
out clearly and It is easilySfead.
One could hardly believe that II
would be possible to engraye any.
thing on SO small a surface and
yet the entire prayer has thus been
written.
It is a unique piece Of work and
well worth seeing.

Differences In
Production Cost

[ TOPEKA, Kansas. Aug, So
"a difference Of more than 81 per
ton in the cost OF producing coal in
mines located in the same district
OF southeastern Kansas was shown
by various companies in figures
gathered by the court Of industrial
relations. Judges OF the court an
ncunced today.
The figure in many cases they
pointed |it show that the smaller
companies pay higher wages to
miners at a greater marketing
cost and still show margin Of
profit with a total cost, OF produc-
ton OF less than $3.50 per ton
while reports of larger operators
show that an average of smaller
wages put the cost of production
at $3.50 per ton and oyer.
Several large companies Judge
Husgins said declare a loss dn
their figures with the cost Of pro.
duction at $3.50 for the coal.
"This wide discrepancy can be
charged to a number Of reasons"
said Judge Higgins but primarily
p believe the interruption OF con-
tdnuous operation by groups Of
miners is responsible for the losses
of the larger companie.
