PUss IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory

10y OaNA0 NoAJs
Well, the bats in the belfry tower
were very good last night and didn't
ring the bells except at thirteen o'clock
so Puss Junior slept very well in the
castle of the beautiful princess, whom
told you about in the story before this.
After spending a few days at this
stately castle, Puss started off once
more upon his journey of adven-
ture, and by and by, after a while,
he came across a great white bird
that was sitting on a golden egg. So
Puss stopped and said:
II won't bother you, big bird
But, tell me- Did you lay that gold
egg?' But the great bird did not reply
for a little while Maybe she was
frightened and maybe she was waiting
for the golden egg to hatch, for just then,
all of sudden, the shell broke open
and out hoped twenty little white birds
armed with swords. And one Of them
was dressed like a captain. with gold
epaulets on his shoulder wings, and one
had a drum, like a regular little drum
mer boy. And then they all began to
sing:
I'VE are the soldier birds Of the air,
And we need no aeroplane,
For we can fly owe the great blue sky
In sunshine and in rain.
And If an enemy comes in view
With our bright, sharp swords wei
cut him in two"
"Hurrah!" cried Little Puss Junior
forgetting all about the great white
mother bird who was standing by flap
ping her wings, for she was mighty
proud to think she had raised a little
sky army for Uncle Sam, you know.
And then Puss asked the little bird
captain wien he was going to start for
America, for they were all in Fairy Land
You know, and that's a long way from
the U. S. A.
I'VE start at once" replied the bird
captain. and then the drummer bird

The Truth About Indianapolis
CHAINS

4 NHAINS which, if linked together, would
reach twice across the United States,
! are manufactured each year by chain
companies in Indianapolis oil er
chains varying from one-half-inch to two-inch
pitch for bicycles, motorcycles and trucks
silent chains for autOmotive equipment-large
link chains for agricultural and industrial ma
chinery manufactured at the rate of twenty
four miles day, have retail value of nearly
$17,000,000 annually.
Cyclists in every civilized country in the world
ride bicycles equipped with these Indianapolis
made chains. Cuba's gigantic sugar crop is
harvested and refined by equipment using
Hooser chains and in our own farm belts the ma
chinery is equipped by chains made in this city.
Chains with an export value Of 81 600 900 reach
the four winds To make these different chains,
$500 men and women receive nearly 100000
yearly in wages. Scientific manufacturing
methods and high quality of product enable the
Indianapolis chain makers to compete in foreign
markets even against an unfavorable exchange
rate.

LOTS OF MAIN STREET STUFF IN HOOSTEE'S STORY


There is a whole lot of the atmosphere
Of Main street in the movie version Of
Booth Tsrkington's Indiana yarn called
The Conquest Of Canaan"
As movie. I consider THE Conquest
Of Cansan" q corking good entertainment
and I am telling the world now that l
will drop IN at the Ohio again some time
this week TO see the picture once more
I read this book years sgo and was
very fond OF It. There has been some
discussion in the failure" OF the movie
director to correctly picture the small
town" Of the story The trouble with
mos. Of rs who write of the movies
is that wo Judge all Main streets and
all small towns b. cur own little Main
street and our own little burg a small
town IS not a boob town. " anE
means, although some appear to insist
that any Main street is a boob street.
I am going to take the other side OF
the question IN my humble opinion the
director OF this Harrington story has
done very well in catching the spirit OF
the small town. AS the picture stands, II
afforded me an hour and halt sf genuine
entertainment. When book is turned
into g play or a movie, it is necessary
to make changes for the sake Of dra-
matte action.
Joe Louden. the small town hero Of
the story, has always been TaVorte
Of mine and I am glad that Thomas Melg-
han is cast as Joe MeiChan generally
has been associated with pictures OF ex-
IRENE action and the first half OF the
Harrington movie may appear slow Tut
the last half is fast enough for any one
MeiChan Is able to put over in q con-
vfnciug fashion certain traits that 1 nave
loved in Joe. he was always FOR the
.'underdog" and Meighan has an abun-
dance Of natural mannerisms which
makes Joe a living character on the
screen. Meighan's Joe shoots dice as any
Hoosier lad would roll the bones. He
has an honest concern for his best gal
when she goes to swell parry In the
old town and he sees TO it that she is
not sighted.
Then as the story advances and Joe
decides to knock all Of the prejudice and
hypocrisy out Of Main street, you arc
bound to get the feelin that Meighan as
Joe is big and strong enough to tackle
the Job.
Personally am fond Of Meighan's bat
tie with temptation when he debates
whether TO kill" q bottle OF booze or let
some one else co the Job Meighan does
a fine bit Of work in this scene and the
struggle is an intense one.
There are several other fine small
town Characterization in this movie
such as Ariel Tabor, the small town
heroine; Mrs. Louden. Eskew Arp, Happy
Farley. Colonel Flintcroft and others
1 viii admit that the movie director
was too ambitious in the scene showing
ArieTs return from Paris when, she is
greeted by her town people. This scene
evidentally IS too much OF the movie
studio idea than real life. The mob
scenes before the fall are handled IN
satisfactory manner.
The entire cast Is worthy OF mention as
