So humble men may fail to see,

"UNCLEJOE"C CANNON WINDS
UP JOURNEY BY RAIL
Was Tired When He Reached
indianapolis by Auto But is
All Right Now.

"Uncle joe Cannon, who ret.res
next March after 46 years of service
in Congress, arrived home at Dan
vile, ILL.,, Saturday, after travelling
over the same road he followed when
he came West with his parents and
brothers, in 1910.
On that trip of 80 years ago, he
rode, child of 4, in his mothers
arms on the high swaying seat of a
numbering prairie schooner.
Now, more than four-score Years
later, he had fulfilled a long cher.
ished ambition to make the same trip
again, following the old National road
from Frederick, Nd, via, Cumber-
land, to Indianapolis, by automobile.
Because Of fatigue, he was forced
to abandon his car at the Hoosier
capital and complete the journey by
train.
Saturday night, rejuvenatcd by a
few hours of rest, with one of his IA
nous stogies burning freely, and
pocket full Of its mates, he shared
the honors with United States Dis
trict Judge Walter c. Lindley, at a
dinner Of the Vermillion County Bar
Association and compared the western
trip Of 1910 to the automobile journey
Of 1922. One Of his last official acts.
before Congress adjourned, was to
recommend to the President that
Judge Lindley be appointed on the
Federal bench.
Uncle Joe" stopped IN Cumberland
last Tuesday and delivered an address
at the Cumberland Fair.
From the office Of the Supervisor
OF Assessments at the Court House
in Oakland notices are being mailed
tax payers informing them of the
fact that a new assessment of their
real estate holdings will be made in
the near future and in time for new
assessment books to be made up prior
to the laying of the next county levy
in the spring of 1928. The work of
making the new assessment entails
quite large amount of work both
at the office Of the Supervisor of As
sessments and in the office of the
Board of County Commissioners. The
expense, also, will figure largely in
the tax bills to be rendered after the
completion of the work. Taxpayers
III the counties may expect no appre-
cable decrease in their tax bills until
the members of the legislature from
the counties take matters in their
hands and pass remedial legislation
cutting out thousands of dollars use
less expenditure of the peoples mon
ey. This new assessment of property
insofar as Garrett county is concern
ed, is useless and wholly uncalled for.

Breed TheatFr

If one is accustomed to believing popular picture star capable of oBry one ment-ukulele-playing except- ted-then it may come as quite a surprise to find that almost all Of them can dc many things well. For instance. it was shown at the Breed theatre yesterday when William s. Hart's latest Parsuiount picture, Trsyelin' On was presented to a capacity house, and it showed itself in the little whispered commendatory words when "Bilrs" name as author was fash cd on the screen. The consensus ot opinion at the end of the picture was that the star. in addition to evolving a punchful, dramatic story, had vividly lived the central character which he had created. It was received by all as the greatest picturiZation Of the. long ago west seen ia months and the somewhat unusual spectacle Of picture being sp- plauded was witnessed Much praise wss due to the wonderful supporting cast which includes Ethel Grey Terry. James Farley, Brinsley Shaw and Mary Jane IrSing. Travelin' On will be shown at the Breed theatre again today and Satur- day and other pictures on the bill include Charles Hutchison in Go Get 'Em Hutch, the Pathe news and an Education al comedy.

MISS LE1TCH, FORMER

CHAMP GIVES IMPRESSIONS
 Miss Cecil Leitch, the former British woman golf champion, is at present in the hands of a London specialist for treatment Of her arm, and she has ss!aa recently that she could not define her prospects in the matter of playing in the next ladies championship games.
 Regarding her tour last summer in Canada and the United States, Miss Leitch declared it was purely of pri- vate nature. She was particularly im- pressed with women's golf in the Domin- ion. Of the outstanding players in Can ada, Miss Ada Mackenzie and Miss Pep Ter were probably the greatest.
 Miss Alex Stirling was undoubtedly the greatest exponent of the women's golf in the United States. in spite of the fact that she curtailed her play during 1922. She was the finest "shot maker" over there. She had more shots almost than any other player. Miss Leitch considers that the majority of women's golf courses in the United States and Canada are easier than those in England. There is I no undulation there as in England and virtually no wind. The courses, however, are, very much better kept than in En- gland.
