"THE GREAT MOMENT" At
q ELKO SATURDAY,, SUNDAY

The first picture to present Gloria
Swanson as star in her own right
is "Thc Great Moment" by Nine.
Elinor Glyn, Paramount picture,
which comes to the Elko theater to-
morrow, Saturday, and Sunday. : It
Miss Swanson has the role of a
half gypsy girl who tries vainly to
still the tumult in her heart en-
gendered by her partially nomadic
ancestry, and the role is said to fl
her wonderfully.
Miss Swanson had just completed
her work in the iall-star cast of Cecil
B. DeMille's "The Affairs of Anatol,"
when she was called upon to embark
on her first stellar production. With
her accustomed vigor she entered
upon her duties with a full deternin-
alton to excel anything she had done
before. zs.s,s,
From all accounts it is one of the
most satisfactory films ever produced.
Milton Stills is leading man and other
notables in the cast include. Alec b.
Francis, F. R. Butler, Arthur Hull,
Raymond Brathwayt, Helen Dunbar,
Clarence Geldart and Julia Faye.

cUPID'S BRAND AT THE
req THEATER SATURDAY

Many Of the younger generation
have heard i'm school the story of that
famous old American institution Of
Tie border days--the prairie schoon-
er, but very few Of this modern brood
have ever had the opportunity to see
one. In the other days, Buffalo Bill
and his Wild West show kept the
memory OF the prairie schooner alive
and one of the famous scenes in
Colonel Cody's old show was the at
tack on the prairie schooner. But
since his passing, little has been ever
seen, of the original prairie schooner
in which the hardy pioneers OF the
Far West made their journey into
the Strange and uneharted places that
they selected as home. q r.
r A rare chance to actually see one
Of these famous old types of wagons
is offered by the coming photoplay
attraction, "Cupids' Brand" starring

JACK HOLT IN THE CALL
n OF THE NORTH"-TONlGHT

Clever Interpretation Of the role
Of Ned Trent, a fearless trader of the
great far north, beautiful natural
settings in regions where the snow
never .melts, a story filed with color,
suspense and strong human emotions,
are marked features of the first
Paramount picture introducing Jacl;
Holt as q star, which is the program
at the Grand theater tonight. < =
? Many will recall the book, "Con-
jurors House," by Stewart Edward
White, or the play "The Call of the
North" by George Broadhurst. In This
perturbation of novel and play none
Of the thrill and suspense of the az
sorbing story has been lost. Directed
by Joseph Henabery, such players
as SMadge Bellamy, leading woman,
Noah Berry, Francis Mcdonald and
others, portray the striking roles in
the picture, with excellent results.

Wool Pool Meeting

county wool pool committee held
at the Farm Bureau Office in
Linneus last Saturday the fol-
lowing were present: Chairman
F. l.. Fitch, H. ]. Woolf, j. W,
Crookshanks, E. E. Sidebottom,
J. B. F. Wampler and H. F.
Kelley.
j. Robert Hall, county agent,
was elected secretary-treasurer
of the county wool pool to sue
ceed Ross Nichols.
A motion was passed that j.
B. F. Wampler, H. F. Kelley
and E. E. Sidebottom be added
to the board of directors making
the required number of seven.
After a thorough consider
alton it was decided to reduce
the amount of insurance on stor-
ed wool where it was valued as
high as fifty cents pound. This
would reduce the insurance on
the Laclede pool from $4,000 to
about $4,000 which would be as
much as could ever be obtained
if all the wool were destroyed.
The most of the time was
spent in considering methods
and time for selling the wool in
the pool. Chairman Fitch re-
ported that he had had a few
"nibbles" as bids. The COM
mittee decided unanimously that
they were too low to consider
and since they had held to the
wool this long they would be
most wise to hold it still longer.
1t was brought out in the
that very few, if any,
buyers would come here unless
they were just trying to specu-
late on our wool by buying at
low prices and break up the
pools. 1t was found that it
could be marketed through the
wool growers house in Chicago,
and Boston, known as the Nat
ional Wool and Warehouse Stor-
age Association, at a cost of one
cent a pound for selling, one and
one-half mills for handling,
little over half a mill per month
for insurance, one mill per
month for storage.
This would put the wool right
where the ultimate manufacturer
Or mill could come and see the
wool and bid for it. This would
the SPECTATORS be-
;ween the producer and the mill.
This appealed to the committee
IS being the best plan and a
notion was carried to ship the
WOOL to the wool growers house
mentioned above if the contract
the same conditions as
| letter read at the meeting. The
ime for shipping the wool at the
various points was not determ-
ned at this meeting. Some in
urance money could be saved

when the storage house is heard
rom and another meeting is
alled.--County Agent.
