This Is another story about n

many Abilene boys and girls who
have white kittens, that is kittens
which are supposed to be white.
But | wonder how many Of them
are really white like snow in the
winter time. Not many | venture
for there Is much dirty SCOT and
smoke to soil white fur in cold
weather and II takes Il tiny pink
tongue too long time To wash the

boys and girls who love their kit

thusiastic applause with which his selections are greeted.
 In speaking of MT, Schwartz, the Anchorage Daily Times says:
 "A large and appreciative audience showered liberal approval upon Laszlo Schwartz, violinist, at the Elm press Theater last night, where he was recalled time and again with en- cores following splendid interpreta- tion of happily selected program
 "Mr. Schwartz's perfect artistry was expressed in his prologue, through which he explained the genesis of Hungarian and Slavonic music as ex- pressed in the folk songs of these musical people, following with selec- tions by Mozart, Chuck, Gosses, Haydn, Martini and Dittersdori,
 "In his violin work, MT. Schwartz proved himself master of technique and harmony, submerging the extreme of the latter beneath a flood of ten- der melody. The first number won the audience, and the artist was com pelled to respond time and again to ovational appeals for an encore
 "Mr. Schwartz's mastery of his in strument was demonstrated through out the entire program, the delicate shading, coloring and wonderful ex- pression combining in the subtle nuances a wholesome, harmonious en- semble."
 MT. Schwartz is also a composer of great ability, and during the evening he will render a number of his own compositions. It is no eXaggeration to say that Thursdays concert will afford one of the greatest musical treats that has ever been offered to a Cordova public.

One of the most thrilling pictures ever made for the screen was shown last night at the Empress Theater, when Conflict" Priscilla Deans lat est Universal-Jewel production. had it's premier in this city. The picture is the last word in screen melodrama and it grips one with it's suspense almost from the first flash
 It's climax is built around the dyna- hitting of a big log-jam in the swollen waters of the great north woods, and the succeeding flood of logs and water down the valley, sweeping everything in it's path. The big punch comes when the heroine, played by Miss Dean rides madly down the bank abreast of the flood, leaps perilously from log to log through the flow, and rescues her unconscious sweet heart, played by Herbert Rawlinson, l just as he is about to be swept over cataract
 l The suspense is real, the thrill is actual, and Miss Dean deserves credit for one of the most fearless stunts ever performed for the screen. The rescue 1 scene has been favorably compared to the rescue scene in "Way Down East" It is just as good, if not better For one thing, it is not so long drawn out.

pened into Fafrmont on business.
The story runs like this: Wing,
who gives his age as twenty-one
years, came to Canada as q sailor
on a British steamship which land.
ed at Vancouver, British Columbia.
Working his way over the main
land he reached Windsor, Ontario,
Canada, and there he paid some
Canadians 500 to row him across
the Detroit river. Once in the U.
S. A. Wing, according to the immf.
grant officers, made double quick
step to Uniontotwn, Pa, where he
became connected with the Chinese
laundry OF Lee Bin.
Being traced to Uniontown Wing
was apprehended there last night
and placed in the jail TO await the
necessary deportation papers. The
