Henry Ford Writes
Own Life i'm Times

/ ~ quit my job on August Is, 1899,
and went into the automobile bust
ness,' writes Henry Ford ~ his re
markable autobiography. 1T might be
thought something of a step, for ! had
no personal funds. Ny wife
agreed that the automobile could not
be given up-that we had to make or
break. -
In his book, which Southern Califor-
mans win have chance to read in the
Los Angeles Sunday Times, Mr.. Ford
asserts that $4,000 was all the money
ever put into the capital account of the
Ford Motor Company, the subsequent
growth being financed out of opera
tions. The enormous earnings of the
company are shown by the fact that in
1919 Edsel Ford paid Approximately
seventy-five million dollars for Al per
cent of the stock then in the hands of
stockholders.
Notwithstanding the furore of con
troversv aroused by Mr.. Ford's out
spoken ideas, critics are united in one
respect, that the manufactures has
written a real book. The scope of his
subject matter, all of which is bristling
with more or less novel theories and
IDEAS, is indicated by some of the chap
ter titles: " Ford S Rulcs for Success; "
DO Ford s Ideas Always Work -;
No Need for House Shortage; Most
Failures Caused by Fear; mo Glad

TWO YEAR SENTENCE
FOR KATE HESTER

Mrs. Kate Hester must spend two
years in prison according to the de-
cision of the board of pardons received
yesterday.
Kate Hester and her husband were
sentenced by Judge Conkling in the
superior court last March to serve not
more than five years in the state prison,
following their conviction by a jury on
a charge of extortion. At the same
time the jury recommended probation
in the case of the woman which she
refused, saying she preferred to go to
prison with her husband, to being free
on probation.
No decision was received relative to
the length of the man s sentence.
The -Hesters were accused of working
the so-called "badger game on a
local businessman, who complained to
the police after the couple had forced
him to sign over an automobile and
his business to them.

OLD HOMESTEAD
OPENS HERE TO
CROWDED House
Tragedy and Comedy Mixed
Make Great Picture
Plenty of Thrills

! The Old Homestead, Paramount
feature picture now showing at the
/ Palace theater for three nights, begin
ming last night, is worth seeing from
| several view points. The settings,
! characters, mechanical methods used to
produce effects, and costumes are all
unusually interesting, and when com
bined make a great molten picture.
The east is fine and individual char
acterizations are splendid. Each actor
is a star, for it is difficult to decide
which one is the best Uncle Josh,
Tidy, her two suitors, Anne, and sew
eral others vie with each other for hon
OrS.
Where the costumes for the play were
made or obtained is puzzle. The
period of 1885, with the tight b0dices,
crinolines, and general over-stuffed ap-
pearance was carried out to the small
est detail. Just to see them causes
laughs from the present generation.
The storm scene, which is produced
from 20 wind machines, is wonderful
to behold, the wind and dust was like
valley dust storm magnified thou
sand fold. But the valley rains are not
like the torrential down pour in this
picture. That could hardly he equalled
by old Mother Nature The snow
scenes look good to folks who know
what real snow looks like and reminds
them of what they left behind when
they came to the valley.
The comic situations outnumber the
tragic ones, the thrills are plentiful, |
the action good, and all together make |
a picture that will satisfy even the |
most critical motion picture fans.
