Columbia

Adapted to the screen from the popular Max Brand novel. ''Fate's Honeymoon J.. Parker Read, 'Jr.' s, tremendous screen play. "A Thou sand to One" is one of the best ve- hicles in which Hobart Bosworth. star of many notable screen achieve ments, has ever appeared. It will be shown at Mauk's Columbia theater for the last times today.
 In this production the virile star is seen as the dilletante, the sports man, the master. This new Bos- worth characterization exemplifies his versatility and gives the audience ample opportunity to judge their fa- vorite in a different light.
 However. the entire picture is not devoted entirely to this type of char acterization, for Bosworth is seen also in the togs of the miner, the mar of strength, the lover of the great out of doors, and it Is then that the audience will be able to compare his different characterization.

The big amateur night crowd at the Ramona theater last night was loud in voicing approval of the musi- cal comedy "A Turkish Maiden" as presented by the Greer Lawler Pio- neer Girls company.

Bob Greer, comedian, has the time of his life in the Turkish harem. and his funny antics keep the audience in an up roar. The musical numbers are new and cleverly presented. Greer and Jackson in a double wooden shoe dancing number stopped the show last night and were recalled time and again. Miss Hazel Greer and Mir.

Better Pay the Assessment

Vuestion--My sister, who Is a widow in
herited from her husband 200 shares OF
Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railroad stock.
one hundred shares of the same is pre
ferred and the other 100 common stock.
Said railroad has recently reorganized and
mas sent out assessment calls for go per
cent assessment on the preferred stock and
20 per cent on tho common stock. She
does not know what to do In this matter
never having had any experience along
these lines ! would ask what In your
Judgment would be the best thing for her
to do. whether to pay assessment demand
ed or just let tho matter go by default.

Answcr-The reorganization plan pro-
vides that for 100 shares of common
old Missouri, Kansas & Texas stock.

Mr.. SpoOrts Again

Cncstion--Klndly let me know II an in
vestmsnt In the spoonts Pool is good
lnveatment and do you know anything
about this Marshall Spoonts or Fort
worth. Tex "A. 10. I.
Answer-About every so often, just
when the slings and arrows of out
rageous fortunes are beginning to get
the better of us, somebody sends us in
the latest five-stor final sporting extra
from Marshall Spoonz, and we have a
pleasant evening admiring the naive
but doubtless effective methods Of
Mr.. Spconz. Every one must admire
talent, and we are glad to note
that Mr.. Spoonz has graduated from
mmcograph letters into four-page,
newspaper size sheet, profusely illus
trated with portraits of all his latest
gushers. We blushed little. however.
on observing the words "Private" and
"Coniidential' in the upper ght and
left hand corners, respectively. Are
you sure that Mr.. Spoonz would like
your sending these communications to
such public place as newspaper
office? Our knowledge of the gentle
man is confined entirely to such
samples of his literature as people
send us. Never week passes but we
get at least one and sometimes they
oftener. Judged only by the data
which he himself presents, however,
the placing of money in his Oil Opera
tors Trust is a gamble of the widest
sort and not an investment of any kind
or character whatsoever.

one of the extremely weak railroods
1T was the weak railroads which 10
transportation act was especially do
signed TO help, but, so far, it has failed
to be OF any real assistance. The Sea-
board Air Line also has its heaviest
cralnc IN the winter months, beginning
well in November and extending until
we'll into the spring. Earnings have
been insufficient to meet interest
charges, but are improving, and the
management apparently is attempting
TO hold on with the hope that there
will be q heavy citrus fruit movement
from Florida this winter, and that the
high class passenger traffic, which be-
gins in December, will materially help
the company. There is possibility
that these sources of traffic will not
be sufficient to tide the road over. In
that case we think that holders of
per cent Consolidated bonds might be
asked in the course of reorganiza-
tlon TO accept some other securities;
possibely securities which would in
part pay lnterest, contingent only on
earnings. By holding your 6 per cent
consolidated bonds you are actually
speculating, and, unless you are in a
position to afford to speculate we
think that you would be wiser to take
your loss, sell your bonds and invest
the proceeds say, in American Tele-
phone e. Telegraph Company stock
which is selling at about $ll6 par s100
share and is paying per cent divi
dend. In other words, for your So. 900
Seaboard Air Line bonds you would
receive about $500 and could buy an
proximately seven shares of American
Telephone & Telegraph, on which YOU
would receive annually $63, as against
S12o which you receive now on your
two Seaboard Air Line bonds. On the
other hand you would have a much
safer investment in our opinion.

Toledo. Peoria & Western

Question: hold two 81 900 bonds Of the
Toledo. Peoria Western Railroad Com
pany first mortgage per cent due 1917,
NOS. 2Sbo and 1851, bought at s1,790 which
nave been deposited in the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company. Have not received in
terest since 1917. Can you give any infor-
mation or them or tell me If there is any
thing to do?-Mrs j. B. w.
Answer-The Toledo, Peoria & West
ern is in the hands of receivers and
interest on the per cent bonds has
not been paid. The road is weak
one, and until railroad conditions have
shown a continued Improvement over a
considerable period of time it NAV be
that no reorganization plan for the
T., P. & w. will be worked out. You
can only leave your bonds on deposit
and hope that In time some reorganiza-
tion will be worked out and you will
receive new securities.

los some time ago. / also hold Standard
Oh of New York at ao5 and Willys Over
land at SX. Would you advise me in talk

Answer-We would advise you to
hold your American Telephone & Tele-
graph stock, to shift from Standard
Oil of New York common to Standard
Oil of New Jersey preferred, when
the Standard Oil of New York sells at
price as high or higher than what
you paid for it, and to sell your Willis

ouestion-Will you kindly give me your
Durant Motors. The development seems to
proceed at.a phenomenal pace, md it looks
good 70 me. When you use the word
ventures are speculative m s.

hope Of selling. it at higher price
than you paid for it, or else of getting
higher interest or dividend return
than you could with substantial de-
gree of safety and, in either case, ac-
