GERMS KILLED BY SUNLIGHT
ii That Way Water Is Kept Compare
! tivsIy Free From Infection That
Would Spread Disease.

There are few more wonderful sights
In the world than a winding river
shining. in the sunlight. But our ill.,
.tc,est in such scene may be greatly
heightened hy the reflection that the
sunbeams are not merely identifying
the water; they are engaged In cur
.lous work OF the utmost Importance to
mans welfare. Scientific investigation
has proved that sunlight possesses /.
wonderful power to Kill injurious
germs in river water.
Where river IS polluted by sewage.
millions and millions of dangerous
bacteria flourish in its water and are
carried along with it to spread dis
ease and death around its banks unless
their development is arrested. II the
sun does not shine upon such river
It may become peril to whole COM
munities. But If the sunlight does
reach it freely, the germs are de.
stroyed and the water is kept com.
psratiyely free from infection.

"THl)NDERCLAP" AT REX
... LAST TIME TONIGHT

Anything more exciting than the
new picture, "Thunderclap,' which
opened at the Rex theater Sunday
seems almost impossible TO imagine"
There is one Of the most spectacular
race scenes near the end Of the uper-
photo drama that has ever come to
the screen, and As for the thrilling in
cjdent Of the hero carried down the
ra1ids-it makes all similar scenes
ever produced look like the Dead Sea.
Sporting life, where happiness or
misery may derend on toss of the
coin or the slip of horse hoof, IS
depicted in this race track drama.
From the very start chance plays ITS
part. II the woman had not married
The second time, she would not nave
had to stand the mistreatment OF her
new husband, and she never would
have been paralyzed because OF
blow received at his hands. Then,
too, she would not have had to keep
her daughter in convent school,.
If business had not fallen off at
the fashionable gambling house, the
brutal step-fathcr would not have
brought the girl home to act as
hostess to attract patrons. If the or
phan boy had not drifted into the
employ of the gambler, he would
never have met the girl and her
paralyzed mother. 1f-but then we
viii not disclose the story here.
Tribute must be paid to Mary Carr,
the "great mother" She plays the
part Of the paralytic woman. Without
the use of her limbs, unable to open
her lips, sitting perfectly still in an
invalid chair she performs one OF the
greatest bits of acting the silver sheet
hos ever reflected. She does it by the
means of facial expression. Then at
the end Of the play she adds one more
touch Of pantomime that caps her
triumph.
Paul Willis is to be complimented
rs much for his daring rs his acting.
,Gunga DIM played by THOMAS
Mccain, a darby, offers much OF the
comedy and his acting is very natural
Little Carol Chase will attract the at
tention of those who love children.
Violet Mersercau is pleasing heroine
and ia we'll matched with Paul Willis
the hero. u -

THE LOVE CHARM" AT THE
ELKO THEATRE WEDNESDAY

In the role Of a shabby poor rela-
ton, Wanda Hawley will be seen in
1.-THE Love CHARM which opens a
two days run here next Wednesday
and Thursday at the Elko Theatre.
This is an original screen story
prepared by Harvey O'Higgins es-
pecially for Miss Hawley and in it
the author has made use of his ex-
tensive Investigations in the field of
applied psychology and psyche
analysis, and shown how girl, by
making Of herself a Symbol" or
type, can attract or repel a man.
The dowdy Cinderella learns from
the old family housckeeper some
thing Of the hero's dearest memories
and pet diversions, and by playing
herself up in different roles, she first
attracts, then drives him away. But
her heart wasn't in the second trick,
and she soon won him back again,
Tor "keeps."

1.-THE. GREAT DAY" AT ELkO
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW

1.-The Great Day." the Paramount
picture, which comes to the Elko to-
night for two days run, is said to be
great production. The stirring
scenes have thrills of their own and
once seen, the picture will not soon
be forgotten.
The story is based on a celebrated
Drury Lane melodrama and many OF
the scenes are laid in England, Paris
and the Alps. The hero is cnticed
into an unhappy marriage ana when
and is presumably lost in the found
cring Of steamship, he contracts
another marriage and then action is
in full swing.
An added attraction at the Elko
tonight and tomorrow will be the
two-part comedy entitled Brides
and Brooms."

In the English Renaissance style,
and rich in sculptural reliefs, it is a
building of five stories. Each of the
four sides faces directly a cardinal

frontal portico supported by Corin-

three stories.
Surrounding the portico is a sub

PLAIN CROOKS

It appears that concern selling
oil stock is making use Of d circular
with a map purporting to be made
by the L. S. Geological Survey. and
which is so drawn as to show drain
age of most of the Oil in the world
into the territory this concern as
sumes to be exploiting.
In the attempt to show approval
of tho Government the circular con-
ciudcs with these words: The Gov
crnmcnt biologists are unprej uticed
and their conclusions are always
regarded as authentic and final"
80 far as this last sentence is
true" declares Director Smith, his
final conclusion is that the authors
and the makers Of this prospectus
are plain crooks that furthermore
the Government never published any
such drainage map.
Nov it remains to be seen whether
the truth will be able to overtake
this lie. Tie real drainage map on
which the buyers of such stock may
depend would be one of their pockets.

Federal Land Banks
Extended to Porto Rico

san Juan, r. r.. Sept. o9-Exten-

Land Bank, authorized by Congress
almost two years ago. has been ac
complished by the opening in San
Juan OF a branch of the Baltimore
Land Bank, after several months Of
preparation, with Ernest H. Thomas
Of Rushville, Ind. in charge.
Slight notifications in the law to
make it applicable to Porto Rico have
been made. and already there are
many indications that the small
farmers of the island are preparing
10 avail themselves Of the longtime
ioans offered by the hank. The
maximum amount that may he bor-
rowed here is $4,000. just half the
maximum in the United States. but
inquiries indicate that the average
application for loans will not exceed
$4,000. The interest rate fixed for
the island is six percent. At recent
n,eeting Of farmers speaker asked
those who were paying two percent
per month to hold up their hands.
and the number of hands raised was
large.
Representatives authorized to ac
cept applications for loans have been
named in the seven towns of the
island where there are registries of

Editors Letter Box
Road Information
Where Can Be Had
Beware the Stupid

To the Editor of the kcnnebec
journal:
| noticed your editorial in this
mornings paper en- the ineXcusable
error of Portland hotel clerk in
directing people to Augusta. This is
a result of persons attempting to
do something about which he knows
nothing.
Having this in mind at the very
first of the season the State of Maine
Publicity Bureau had neat signs
printed and framed and sent to every
hotel in Portland and some other
cities, stating that complete and ac-
curate information in regard to
routes and road conditions could al
ways be obtained at the Bureau in
Longfellow Square. This was done
almost as much for the benefit of the
, hotel clerks as for tourists.
Furthermore the Bureau instructed
and kept posted several police officers
stationed at the west entrances to
Portland in regard to road conditions
and also the best way to reach places
farther East. Some of the officers
kept supply of our maps in their
pockets to give to tourists and the
officers advised US that the tourists
were always very grateful.
Owing to the information given out
at this Bureau thousands of tourists
, have gone farther UP the State who
otherwise would not have done so.
While so many highways are in the
process of construction it is ahso-
lutely necessary that there be some
place where tourists can obtain au
/ thcntic information for by SO doing
many of the detours are robbed of
their supposed horrors.
To illustrate what absurd stories
are circulated. during the summer a
tourist came into our headquarters
, very much perturbed and wanted to
know if it was possible to get to
I Portsmouth. On being informed that
it was he seemed somewhat sur
prised because he said he had just
been informed that lie could not cross
the river at Portsmouth because
now bridge was being constructed.
/ We informed him that bridge was
being constructed and had been for
a year but that it was one-half
milo below the old ono.
Extreme care should he exercised
in directing tourists for by imparting
wrong information the reputation OF
tho state may be greatly injured.
