One of Grey's Best
Showing Here Today

WARRINGTON, March 27.-ono
OF Zano Groy's finest stories is told
in pictures at Burt's Theater today.
1t is the story OF Hell.Bent Wade
who, for is years, had searched for
his daughter. And then he met
her at the wilderness grave OF the
mother who had given her life on
the night Wade had tried TO pro-
tect his home from the raid 1y Ed
Smiths murderous gang.
Hell.Bent was name he had
earned, and a name he loved. 1t
struck terror to the hearts OF
wroug-doers In the law.tree west,
for Hell.Bent never missed hiG
man. And then came the day when
Wade met face to face the man who
had killed his wife.
But Zane Grey Is a writer who
builds many such situations In the
course Of one OF his stirring stories
OF the west, and The Mysterious
Rider" In no exception TO the rule.

Pennsylvania has had this law
for a number OF years. and as this
Is the first effort Of West Virginia

lar sessions Of school for a certain
number OF hours daily or certain
days a week. and paving them for

relative to city schools and state
institutions, and consideration Of
recommendations by the next ses-
sion OF the legislature for a reguia.
ton whereby all cities would be
