TOOK THE TALENT OF FAMOUS DIRECTOR
AND FOUR POPULAR STARS TO ACHIEVE
'sThe Child Thou GayeSt Me"

While it is characterized as
an "all-star" picture, with
none of the players featured,
it in reality has an outstand-
ing star-little Rich ard

pressed to admit the weight
Of three and half years. In
tribute to the director let it
be said that he has used the
little chap to the fullest ex-
tent, to the benefit of the pic
ture, in place Of following the
usual custom of allowing him
to appear in few scenes to
establish his connection with
the adult characters.
The Story is such a con-
nected and logical one and the
action moves forward so
smoothly that when the end
of the last reel has been
reached the spectator awak-
ems with a start to the reali-
zatiOn that he has been
watching a picture and has
not been actually living in the
land of romance, and adven-

WORST RAILWAYS IN WORLD
Argentine Writer Finds Symbol Of tbs
People In His country's Steam
Transportation.

beg pardon, my fellow country
men; but our government railways
lin argentina are the worst rail-
ways in the world, and the line from
Cordoba to La Cumbre is eminent
even among its kind for dilepidation
and delay.
at times, indeed, you do get the
impression that someone has stuck a
spur into the locomotive. 1t makes
a violent leap forward and the train
plunges headlong for a few hundred
yards at terrific speed, while the pas
sengers hold fast to their seats and
the windows rattle like castanets.
But this is not normal. Ordinarily
you move at a snail's pace make a
little distance forward, slip back,
and again crawl forward toward
your destination.
Since it is my disposition to see
symbols in everything, l reflect that
our Argentine people are very much
IKE our railways, We loiter along
lndolently and proftessly, day at,
ter day, and then suddenly rise some
line morning with a grand idea that
spurs us to work with tremendous
for a brief period. But that
merely another one of our dreams.

The Road Bonds.

The people of Missouri through
their ballots not only indicated their
wash to have $780, 10000 In bonds
issued to build hard surfaced roads
throughout this state, but by their
votes ordered the bonds issued and
the roads built. To delay or stou
the issue, is defying the will of the
people. The S6O,OOO,Ooo bond issue
was fairly presented to the people
Of this state and no one dare say the
people are not capable of self-gov-
eminent. 1t seems now at this late
date a few persons are bent on de-
laying the bond issue by referring
the road Legislation enacted by the
state legislature, to a vote under the
referendum act. IN order to do this
petitions must be circulated and
numerously signed and it is hoped
that the voters of this state who
believe in lifting Missouri out of
the mud and who believe in uphold
pg the will Of the great majority.
Will refuse to sign the road bond ref
erendum petitions, The danger is
that SO many sign petitions without
carefully considering what the peti.
hons call for and it is hoped every
n will be careful and not be caught
onawares by the c~irculators of the
petitions that would hold up road
building in Missouri

DRY GOODS.

Recent hot weather has tended to
stimulate retail distribution of sea-
sonable dry goods, and reduced price
sales in many channels are helping
to maintain a liberal turnover. 1t Is
observed that prices in industrial
centers where workers are idle are
lower than those in other sections.
and that buying is, largly confined
to the more staple classes OF ner-
chandise. This demonstrates that
economy Is exercising a greater In
huence that for a long time past,

noticeable feature. Quietness in

BUENoS AIRES, July s.-The dis
ordered condition of the port Of
Buenos Aires, as the result of the
high hand with which labor organ
izations are ruling, has become
subject for general criticism of the
government on the part OF the news
papers and commercial organiza-
tiops. This criticism became more
widespread and sarcastic after the
Martha Washington incident was
allowed to drift along until 1t had
become a matter of diplomatic pro-
test from the United States.
That there may be no mistake
about It, the Transatlantic Ship
ping Association has declared. in \
memorial addressed to the ministry
Of finance, that IL the extraordinary
state of affairs that is interfering
with the loading and unloading in
the Argentine ports Of the vessels
that have arrived here from abroad
is not quickly corrected it will have
to own that lin, no country OF the
world is the shipping trade sub
jected to greater diniculties and
more unjustihabie demands in the
way of expenses than in this"
shippers Protest to Gevernment.
In order, that no doubts may re-
main as to the truth OF such a
serious assertion. the document In
question, which has emanated from
an association that represents fifty
shipping companies connected wits
the republic. specifies some very un.
pleasant facts. 1t mentions the
pressure that Is brought to bear
by means of the boycott, of which
the ships laden with coal are the
victims. 1t then shows how ad-
| vantage is taken of this by the mer
to demand exorhitant pay for little
work. And lastly. 1t refers to the
open violation, which the executive
power tacity permits, of the decree
and indicates clearly the enormous
losses that are being occasioned by
the inaction of the government
Nevertheless, in spite Of the new
aspeets of the question which this
document reveals. It merely adds a
few more paragraphs to an already
well-known chapter. For no one Is
ignorant of the fact that under the
screen afforded by the indifference
of the government, which appear:
incapable OF perceiving the magni-
tude of the disorder. the port
workers are pursuing a perniciou'
course of action. whereby the river
and sea trade is completely disor'
ganized. .

Neither the stoppage of the coast
