CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN "THE KID" SCREAMING TRIANON COMEDY

| OftA IN ANAD'
 SCREAMING TRIANON COMEDY ! The lovable and laughable Charlie Chaplin has no peer in his particular pantomoine comedy, which is alto gether his own invention and in- ! possible of imitation. In "The kid' at l the Trianon this week, Chaplin
 reaches the high water mark of his I genius for making fun. He has one l of the best storys he has ever had l for comedy and is assisted by the diminutive Jackie Coogan, Chaplin in embryo, who makes almost as many laughs as the famous Charfe himself.
 Chaplin is an innocent-eyed window glazier, who at heart is comically wicked. So wicked is he that he piys his regular trade in window glazing behind his little adopted son, The Kid" who has been taught to break windows for him, and thereby furnish 1 trade. It is all quite simple, except l for the long arm of the law, which nlays great game in routing the guilty window glazier but never wins. fs

 .WHAT WOMEN WILL sDO,"
 AT THE ALCAZAR THIS WEEK
 Is woman the product of her envi ronment? Does she reflect the good or evil of her surroundings, as a chameleon reflects the color of it's background?
 Is there not, deep beneath the arti- flee, a divine spark that can be kin dled into purifying flame? What will women do?
 These questions are answered on the screen of the Alcazar theatre. where the new Edward Jose Produc- tion, What Women Will Do," is showing,

It is said that Bradley had been seen here last night after the hearing began. Aaron Black Is wanted as the chief witness in the states charge of perjury against the sheriff growing out of testimony given ip the Stevenson murder case. This testimony was ruled out by Commissioner Noble Seay, before whom the hearing is being held, yes terday morning on the grounds it was immaterial evidence, but he al- lowedit to go into the record for the supreme courts decision.
 Black is also the negro the state charges Sheriff Mitchell with having hired out to the former street Su- pervisor of the city of Florence and collecting $49.1 for his services without making the proper entry on the court docket. It is alleged that Black was prisoner at the time this occurred, and that he was in the custody of the sheriff.
 A diligent search is being made by state law enforcement officers for these two witnesses, and it has been announced that as soon as they are located they will be put upon the stand, and that the defense will not be allowed to continues its testimony until then.
 A large number of state witnesses testified as to alleged mistreatment on the part of the sheriff and his deputies at Tuesdays session. Many of them who have been arrested on minor charges recently state that the officers used very abusive Ian guage when making the arrests, and some said they had been assaulted
 The defense will probably intro- duce over 100 witnesses before the close of the hearing, which will prob- ably last for several days. It was the original intention of the supreme court to come to Florence to con- duct the hearing which began at the courthouse Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, but it was later decided to send Commissioner Noble Seay and court reporters to take the evidence for them

THE NEW PULP FREIGHT TARIFF

The action of the Alaska Steamship Company in making $5 to nrate on pulp from spee river to Seattle is pleasing the people of Alaska who appreciate efforts at cooperation for tE development of the territory. Sometime ago when it announced that the steamship companies had refused to make lower for pulp than S9 considerable feeling developed against the companies Inquiries made brought forth the explanation that inasmuch as pulp commodity in the AL aska trade special cassfcato nhad been made for it, therefore the best that could be done would be to quote the lowest rate allowed in the general classifcaons The steamship people however immediately took the tier up and last week special classification approved making the $5 rate per ton weight. This is much less than measurment rate would be and is much less than that for canned salmon which is $75O ton, measure ment, or for 1296 pound cans of salmon.-EX

OIL PRODUCTION
COSTS DECLINE
West Kentucky Operators
Meet REIMBURSEMENT Condi-
tons; Optimism Ruling
Note.

Bowling Green. KY, Feb. "a
Reimbursement conditions in the oil in
dustry are being met by operators in
the Western Kentucky field. Drilling
by the foot has been reduced from $4
and $3.50, the peak charges, to $3.50
and So. Drillers are being paid at the
rate of 50 and $40 daily and tool
dressers are now getting Sc. The new
scale for teamsters is Sc.
Although there has been no general
decrease in the price of materials,
there has been a falling off in the
cost of rigs, casing and few other
field machinery accessories. 1t is pre-
dicted that further drop in such
supplies is due to come soon.
Another cut in the price of Somer-
set crude oil sent it down to So, put
ting il within As cents of the lowest
figure for the past four years. On
January 1, 1917, it was quoted at $1.55.
For several months during 1920 it
reached $3.50.
In the face of this slump it natural
lyfollows that labor costs would have
to come down. Also it is very evident
that equipment prices will have to be
lowered if operations are to continue
normal.
Outstanding as feature of the sit
uation is the refusal of the operators
and companies to become pessimistic
Most Of them are going on with their
work as if nothing had happened
How long this condition will prevail
is purely a matter of conjecture. If
expenses can be kept down there ap-
pears to be no reason for a concerted
lull in activities. Workers in the field
have made no complaint, preferring
to have employment at the decreased
price than remain idle. Among all oil
men there is an abiding faith in prom

tons are expected for the spring and

COLLECTION OF DOLLS
DATING BACK TO OLD ROME

The Berlin Museum has acquired a
unique collection of objects taken
from the tomb of little Roman girl,
OF the time of Tiberius "a. d. li-S2)
almost in perfect condition.
A coin of Tiberius was put in the
dead child's hand, the fee to Charon,
the ferryman, to cross to the other
side of the Styx, the principal river
OF the Lower World" Then the box
was filled with her little dolls. OF
which she had evidently been fond.
She had also loved to play at a dolls
tea party of that age. So there is a
little table and toy silver Candida
brum.
She had dressed her dolls and had
made them up" for there is the little
box of cosmetics, with a picture of a
Baccha on the cover Evidently the
dolls decended to her from other
hands and must have been special
treasure.
She was fond of blocks, too, and
her parents put into the box some
little cubes painted in four colors.
There are a little gold brooch-pro-
badly one she wore at parties
of the most delicate fligree work and
gold bracelet.
The little girl must have been the
daughter of more than ordinary par
ents, for she could evidently write,
since they had put in some tablets and

SALT HARVESTED
BY MACHINERY
Modern Invention Proves Re-
velation in Utah Salt
Fields.

Harvesting salt with modern mach
merry is proving revelation in the
immense salt fields of western Utah.
Here, within few miles of the Neva-
da-Utah boundary, is a vast salt de-
post that runs from to Is IT,, in
thickness and covers an area of more
than 500 square miles. says George F.
Paul in a profusely illustrated story
appearing in Popular Mechanics Mag
azine for November. A salt-harvest-
ing machine is used to loosen the salt;
it operates on much the same prin-
ciples as an ice pillow. This machine
also gathers the salt into a bucket
conveyor. which in turn elevates it
into screen and then dumps it into
hve-ton wagons.
The wagons convey the salt to
small industrial railway. Here it is
dumped on the ground and allowed to
dry thoroughly in the sun. After it
has been properly dried. bucket load
ers pick it up and load it into small
cars that convey it to the refining
mills.
