THOMAS MEIGHAN IN "WHITE AND UNNARRIEDn-ST

A story of a crook who inherited a large fortune and decided to live straight and enjoy life, White and Unmarried" is the latest vehicle for Thomas Meighan.
 In line with most of the late Meighan pictures, this one, which. is showing at the strand, is built mainly around the stars attractive personality.
 When the star is introduced as Billy Kane. a crook. who works by himself walking stealthily. but hu- morously out of fine home which he has just entered at twilight. the spectator gets an idea of his per sonality that is kept throughout the production. It Is shown that thongs are going to be serious enough, but with vein of good humor running through serious parts. Though the experience in Paris. in the apache district prove exciting and danger ous enough for anybody, the idea or the good humor that has entered into the story never deserts 1t.

"PLAYTHINGS OF DESTINY" WITH ANITA STEWART AT RIALTO

"Playthings of Destiny" featuring Anita Stewart at the Rialto is one of the best dramas to be released here in many months. It is photo play that hits the high spots of hu- man drama. The experience of Julie enacted by the star, are colorful and intense.
 Anita, herself, is more attractive than in any appearance in long time, she is more beautiful and bet ter actress than previous to Ions illness that took her from the screen The role of Julie, tender loving girl of the north, suits the sensitive style of the beautiful stor.

Love for the Horse.

In Saturdays game at birmingham
Captain Milburn brought out Tenby
and rode the horse through one of the
chukkers. Tenby is polo pony seven
teen, years of age, veteran of three
international matches, presented years
ago to Milburn by Harry Payne Whit
ney. Some time ago Milburn said:
"There's Tenby. He's getting old, but
I shall ride him in one Of the games.
It would break his heart if I didn't" "
And he rode Tcnby before the kings
of England and Spain and cheering
thousands. Captain Milburn did not
shine so brightly in this period be-
cause, as one of the critics said, old
Tenby, while he possessed the stout
heart of thoroughly good, honest
pony, no longer chad the legs" to
keep up with his younger opponents.
When Captain Milburn dismountcd he
patted Tenby affectionatcly in the
neck and sent the old horse away to
the stables a tired, but, no doubt, a
satisfied veteran who again had done
his best in an international match.
The sentiment which inspired the TAX
ing of Tenby all the way to England

A Long Way From Being Insolvent.
In this weeks issue of Pipp's Week
ly, E. G. Pipp, former managing edi-
tor of Henry Ford's paper, says the
Ford Motor profits for May exceeded
those of any other month in the his
tory of the business career of Henry
Ford, reaching the sum Of more than
$18,OOO,OOO, or more than 100000 a
day.
The total production for the month
was 97,O14 cars. The profit on each
car was more than $3.50.
These profits were followed with a
reduction in the price Of the car
amounting to about $25, but in spite
of the reduction the June profits prob
ably will exceed the May profits by
about 81 to $1.25 car on all but the
sedans.
On the first of the month all out
standing notes were paid. the current
bills provided for, and there was a
surplus of $6,112,O17, which has been
considerably increased by this time.

America should cease making leans

from this country to build up foreign
navies and assist in maintaining arm

In their investigation of conditions
in the Philippines General Wood and
Governor Forbes find that the ma
jority, of the people of the islands are
in favor of independence under an
American protectorate. 1t is our
opinion that the Philippines should re-
main an American possession or be
entirely cut adrift. The United States
should not accept responsibility SO far
away from home without authority.
The people of the Philippines, assuming
that their desires in the matter are
rdeterminative, should be asked to
make a decision between American
sovereignty and complete American
withdrawal from the islands, not be-
tween protection under United States
control and protection under complete
self government.

Kidnapers are going to have hard
time if they bother Paul Everitt COL
Inns, three years old, of Denver.
He climbed upon the stool in front
of the camera at the central police
station the other day and was photo
graphed. Then he thrust his fingers
into the recording ink and impressed
his finger prints for the Bertillon rec
Ords.
But he is not a criminal. Mr.. and
Mrs. P. E. Collins, who recently
adopted him, were with him, and they
asked that these records be made to
insure him against kidnapping. Both
said they feared some one might at
tempt at some time to take him away
from them. The records will be filed
with the police at the county record

Too Light a Penalty.

Too Light a Penalty.
The, American legion of the state
of Washington may be depended upon
to keep it's eye on the pardoning
power, so that by no mischancc any
one of the seven cowardly I. w. w.,
just imprisoned at Walla Walla for
murder will benefit thereby. Two
years ago seven of Bill Haywood's
skulkers concealed themselves and
from their place Of conccalment mur-
dered American legionaircs., But for
the efforts of the service men there
would not have been such swift de-
lection, pursuit, capture, indictment,
trial and conviction.
It is to be regretted that imprison-
ment for from 25 to 40 years for
the seven slayers is what stands upon
the record of sentence. If ever crimi-
nails earned execution the seven I. w.
W. earned it for their shocking crime
at Centralia. They cold loodedly
murdered men who had fought under
the American colors overseas. They
had nothing personal against the
legionaires. They did not pick special
ones. They simply wanted to kill as
many soldiers as they could and make
their getaway.
The crime of the seven I. w. w,
was as cowardly as ever disgraced a
community. They had not motive
save that the I. w. w. organization
is opposed to any and all elements
that may be useful in maintaining law
and order. Legionaires may be de-
pended upon to oppose outlawry, sab
otage, anarchy. Therefore they are
considered by the I. w. w. pluguglies
as their natural enemies-Duluth

Now that the cooperative market
ing agencies are getting started, it be-
hooves the farmers to stand by the
ventures. The organizations are pri-
marily for the benefit of the farmers
and unless they stand by them they
are bound to fail. The big problem
for the agriculturist is not the cost
of production but the cost of market
ing. The margin between the produc-
er and consumer is too large. By unit
ing the producers can eliminate much
of the waste of the present system.
But the minute the members forsake
the organization then disintegration
sets in and the whole scheme fails.
Farmers should take a vital interest
in those marketing organizations now
in process of forming, for only by so
doing will their marketing problems
be solved.-Springfield Advance.
