JUDGE BEN LINDSEY AS
SCREEN ACTOR AT THE REX

The latest, and one of the most dis
tinguished recruits to the ranks of the
temporary motion picture actors is
Judge Ben Lindsey, founder and still
presiding genius of Denver's far
famed model Juvenile Court. The
Little Judge" who has put over" one
of the biggest known reforms in deal
ing with Juvenile delinquency, has not
deserted the bench for the screen by
any manner of means, but he did
realize that by consenting to appear
in one big film production he could
send his message of a square deal for
every child to more persons in a few
months than he could hope to reach in
years of lecturing and writing on his
pet topic.
1t is safe to state that no social
worker in the country has done more
for the youthful delinquent than Judge
Lindsey. He was one of the first to
see that youthful offenders, brought
into court, frequently learned more
about crime while in court, through
contact with old and hardened GRIM
inals, than they would ever have
learned in any other way. Through
his untiring ecorts the separate de-
tention home for Juvenile delinquents
awaiting trial, and the separate court
In which to hear their pitiful cases
were made a reality, and countless
numbers of youthful michief-makers
in his own and other cities (for Den
vers juveniel court soon became a
world model have been saved from a
continuing in lives of crime.
That is the Judges idea. How IL
works is shown in several scenes oi
thrilling interest In William d. Tay-
lor's new Relart special, "The Soul oi
YOUTH" one of the biggest kid" pic
lures ever filmed, to be shown at the
Rex Sunday. The youthful hero OF
the play, who is, by the way, thai

tBy OLD ROCKS

Verify hath the laurelled Comstock
been wrought and written imperish-
able.
Comstock is a name and motives a
thrill that will never die.
And this very day, almost within
the shadow of Mount Davidson, and in
the same wonder mineralized zone
that recorded marvels and enthralled
the world more than a half century
ago, men as strong, brave and de-
termined as those who scralled the
name "Comstock" immortal on the his
toris page and in the hearts of man
kind are now breaking ground for
other mines-possibly as great. or
even greater than the Comstock mines
that have been fumbled, scratched
over, and overshot by tunnels driven
at the direction of Spirits" or "di-
vining-rod' prophets. who die poor
telling others how to "get rich quick" !"
There is something In the air; in
the restless, indomidable pluck and
invincible persistence of miners and
prospectors now In the field over the
empire OF richly mineralized territory
within the boundaries of the Comstock
Belt.
There is that In the spontaneous
yearning and that indulgence In hal
cyon dreams, and golden prophesy
half materialized. that assures these
pilgrims on the blitt@riny trail to
shrine. hero-builded and glory-gilded
that forever CLEANS It's gladness of
from the traditional foot of the rain
bow"
This is the year when the old days
and the old deeds will resurrect from
the ashes OF years to thrill again the
hearts of men who have the ambition
to hope and the courage to strive.
This is the -autumnal equinox Of
hopes realized and of dreams that will
come true-the season to be of gar
nered haryests and yaulted treasure
from the native resources of this earth
upon which we live. 1t is to be the
generous yea, lavish response of
Fortune to brains of brilliant concept
and to hands of Drawn that never
weary, and the sweat drops that
trickle from faces begrimed = dia-
monds that scintillate the lustre Of
hearts that beat true, and of souls
that seek the stairway to the stars.
These statements were more than
verified at the impromptu mass meet
ing of miners and prospectors held In
Gardnerville last Sunday afternoon
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives from all along the great
Comstock Belt, and greater enthusi-
asm has never been evidenced in a
meeting of this kind, anywhere.
Ringing speeches were made not
ing indisputable evidence of untold
wealth that slumbers on every side of
Carson Valley, and affirming invinci-
bic faith in the early opening OF bon
ANA mines In the Comstock Belt.
Among those who addresses the
meeting we're: f. P. Williams of
Grass Valley, California; Earl Chris
tensen. r. C. Walker, e. Chaplin Gard,
and II. II. Boone of Gardnerville;
Howard B. Beers of Hot Springs
Mountain; Frank C.. Everett of Noun
tain House, and J. F. Fredericks of
Sweetwater.
Resolutions were adopted express
ing confidence in the Comstock Belt
and guaranteeing cooperative and
persistent effort to place the merits
of the zone before the world. Also

"BE SURE. YOU'RE RIGHT"

DAVY CROCKETT used to say: "Be sure you're
right, then go ahead" That's mighty sage ad-
vice. It's wise shopper who takes it to heart.
Glance through the advertisements and in a
few minutes you can set yourself right on num-
erous things you either want to buy now or at
some future date.
Advertising has stabilized prices. The adver-
tiser names his price-the same for ALL You can
know that in paying it, you are getting the same
deal as the next one.
"Be sure you're right" It's a duty you owe
your pocketbook.,
Advertising has helped to standardize quality.
Only the best of wares are spread out for you on
these printed pages. The men who advertise
here are making publicly certain claims, on the
fulflment of which depends their commercial
success.
"Be sure you are right.'
Advertisements give you news of the latest
