"SpORT OF THE GODS"

At the States Theatre. Monday
Tuesday. "Wednesday, Thursday, FRI
day and Saturday, May 9-l6.
The Sport OF the Gods" is story
of everyday life, OF lie as we find ii
in reality, but never before depicted
on the screen nor interpreted on the
stage. With the daring born OF a
courageous spirit, Paul Laurence
Dunbar has dipped his pen into a
phase OF life that is all too well-known
to most OF us and brought forth char
acters and incidents that make us
smile and weep, thrill US to the core
and tug at our heart-strings.
The story deals with a man whose
fidelity and loyalty was rewarded by
being thrown into prison Tor the
crime of another. His wife, son and
daughter, rather than suffer the hui
initiation and disgrace brought upon
their innocent heads by living among
their friends in old Virginia, move to
New York, that vast desert of hui
mainly where souls are tossed and
driven in the great monsoon of human
struggle.
The son falls in with evil compan-
ions and the daughters character is
placed in jeopardy as a singer in an
underworld cabaret. The mother, hay-
ing been convinced that penitentiary
sentence is the same as a divorce, is
persuaded to marry man who has
schemed to get her money The hus-
band is finally released from Jail after
the real criminal had confessed and
goes on to New York to join his fam
lily, only to find his wife had married
another.
1t is then that real complications
arise and many thrilling scenes take
place. all of which are wonderfully
and interesting told in the picture.
Suffice to say that all works out hap

L. w. w. and is fighting that society
openly and has no apologies to offer.

SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS.

''At present, the country again will
be astOnished to learn, Secretary
Hughes does not receive a nickel be-
yOnd his $4,000 salary to finance the
burdensolne social requirements of lis
post" III.
Thus writes Frederick w. Vile,
Washington correspondent. In discuss
ing the size of salaries paid to officials
of the United States government. But
there Is no occasion for -'burdensOme
social requirements.'' Public officials
should not be expected to indulge In ex-
pensive social functions. Let the idle
rich and other goOtl-fOr.nothings have
q monopoly of that sort Of thing. Nine
tenths of the people who pay taxes to
support the government do not indulge
in expensive social pastimes and there
is no real need for government officials
to do so. In fact, we believe, II some
high government official had the force
OF character and stamina to stand out
against the extravagances and burdens
Of so-called social requirements he
would become the biggest and most
popular man in the nation, provided he
possessed the ability to sustain himself.

HENRY FORD's OFFER.

Henry, Ford has made an offer to
the government to take over the i'm
provements at Mussels Shoals and pay
therefore q fair rental value, together
with the cost of the property, the time
of payments extending over period OF
nearly century. However, according
TO M. FOrd's offer, the government
must complete the dam at an estimated
cost of So, 600 geo to $40, Ot,O. 900 and it
must guarantee 100000 horse power
and keep the dam in repair. There Is
fear that the amount of horse power
cannot always be maintained aud
there is also some question Of the sta
bility of the work that has already
been expended on the dam. Hence Mr..
FOrds offer doesn't look so enticing to
congress as it might appear ontie face.
The better way. it seems to the Free
man-J journal, would be for the govern
ment to sell the property to Mr.. Ford
at fair value and let him finish the
job, the government guaranteeing him
the rights that are essential to the
operation and maintenance of. such
property. Mr.. Ford's engineers can de-
teHnine the present condition of the
dam and he and his associates should
be willing to take chances if the en-
gineers reports are satisfactory.
/. In speaking of Mr.. Ford's proposition
to take over the property the Iowa
Forum says:
'"The idea was to build a big dam
at Mussels Shoals, improve the naviga-
ton of the Tennessee river. create a
great water power and establish a
great factory, primarily for war mater
ial hut later for fertilizer. The Baker
outfit in the war department spent
about hundred millions on the dam
but they did not finish it, and, neither
is it known whether they put enough
foundations under what they did build
to justify an effort to complete the
work, assuming that the work might

liable. Upon this basis there now comes

There is no way to reduce rents so

that go into the construction of homes
are so high. Men who have money are

than they can get for the cash II

must rent for at. least $50 per month,
