undoubtedly the most artistic offer
ing yet staged by this director. Dur
ing the past year Mr.. Neilan has done
stories that depended solely upon
their dramatic construction. In Bob
Hampton of Placer" he has a story
that has particular dramatic strength
and in addition calls for unusually
artistic backgrounds.
In order to get this atmosphere, Mr..
Neilan took his entire producing or
ganization to Glacier Park, Montana,
and later to Fort Hauchuca, Arizona,
where amidst beautiful surroundings
that have never before been photo
graphed. he staged the action of his
story. The film will be shown at the
Murrette Theatre for three days.

Tragedy Touches Clarion Man

Clarion Clipper: The suicide of Pat
O'Brien. one of Americas most noted
aviators who achieved fame during the
World War as the result of his daring
battles over the German lines and, sub
sequently his capture by German forces
when his machine was shot down.
and a remarkable escape during which
for seventy days he played hide and
seek with the shrewdest minds of the
German intelligence staff, touches a
Clarion man deeply for Mr.. O'Brien
was cousin of Rev. Mr.. Morley OF
the Christian church. He had not
learned the particulars of Mr.. O'Brien's
dea tn. but from his information believ-
ed the unfortunate young man was
suffering from mental depression
brought on because of his terrible eX-
periences during the war, and this was
aggravated by an unfortunate mar
riage.
Rev. Mr.. Worley knew the young
man personally; they were OF the
same age, and grew up together. He
says Mr.. O'Brien was fine young
man. His record is glowing example
OF American daring and ingenuity and
he was honored by military leaders be

TO
BUILD 4 GOOD
NAME

A good name in merchandising
is rather to be coveted than great
accessiOns of customers from some
other stores.
Senseless philosophy that, you
say?
But isn't it really true? We
know of a merchant who was in
business for over % years in one
small town who boosted in the
papers and out of them that never
in all that time has there been an
issue of the town papers without
his advertisement or name in
them somewhere. In fact, he
built up his good name till it was
an asset equal to his merchandise,
and when he sold out his business
to retire, the new firm kept that
mans handsome gold-sheened sign
right where it was over the en-
trance to the store Tor over
year. They could buy his mer-
chandise and his business, and
their problem was to capitalize
also on that good name this mer-
chant had built up by persistent
advertising and good business for
a quarter century.
That business ran as true to
trade conditions as any bank. 1t
was an asset to that community
as well as to the proprietor. 1t
was one of half a dozen good bust
ness places that made that town
the trading center for large ter
ritory.
You could not have offered that
merchant the cash money back
for the good name he had built
up by advertising and got him to
accept it after % years.

FOR STREET AND ROAD
Ask Legislature to Amend
the Law and Give Cities
Share.

In conformity with similar actor
being taken in many of the towns and

Gil has adopted resolution asking the
state legislature to change the law ap
plying the auto licenses so that a
certain portion, at least, of the funds
derived in this manner, be turned over
to cities and towns to be used fol
street and highway improvement. AS
the law now stands this fund goes en-
tirely for road purposes in the rural
districts.
A copy of the resolution adopted
here has been given to J. c. Sterling
state representative from this county,
also to the state senator from this dis
trict, and copy has been mailed to
each paper in the county.
The resolution follows:
THAT we respectfully ask the
Thirty.ninth general assembly Of the
state of Iowa, to amend the motor vehi-
Gle laws of the state, thereby setting
aside to the cities and towns Of Iowa
their just and propOrtionate share of
the automobile tax, based upon the
number Of miles of streets therein as
we'll as the number of motor vehicles
owned in the various cities and towns,
and that said law be so drafted as
to authorize the use of said funds upon
any or all streets and highways for i'm
provement and maintenance purposes,
and that in no event shall such amount
be less than 80 per cent of the total
taxes collected"
