 It is so near Christmas time l guess we had better start counting our last few shekels and prepare to kiss them goodbye. Friend Wife will soon be around to do her annual Jimmy Valentine" on our wallet so that she can sally forth to buy up all the useless gifts in town. Oh! Why is Christmas? About all we expect in return is the usual:
 Yellow and pink checkered neck-tie that we wouldn't wear to bull fight A box of "El Cabbageo de Punkos" with which we can later insult the janitor
 Two or three false front" silk shirts in colors fit for jockey. And perhaps a dozen pairs of "Puncture" brand silk socks-"guar- anteed to be shot in heel in six months CT your money refunded"
 If we carried lot of insurance on our life, here are some of the gifts we would make:
 For the butcher, whose hand we have bought time and time again, scale with enough electricity charging through it to knock him on his ear every time he as much as put a finger on it.
 For the milkman: A pair of wings, so we wouldn't have to listen to his horse-like foot fall coming up the back stairs in the wee hours of the morn.
 For the janitor: A pocket Radio outfit, so we could locate him once in a while.
 For the family upstairs: A steam trip-hammer to enable them to shaKe the foundations of the building in more efficient style.
 For our ,neighbor's cat: An un- healthy dose of ehloroform. It sleeps ali day and warbles all night with nary let-up.
 And at last but not least, for friend wife: "Moxim Silencer, to be put on at regular intervals so that she could come up for air once in while.

Shame" Is Big
Special at Grand
Monday Afternoon

Shame" the William Fox special
which, following highly successful
run in New York at Broadway the
alter, at the Grand Monday, is a
splendid fulfilment of the promise
for motion picture progress. Spec
tacularly it is magnificent, and as an
intense human drama it is tremen-
dous. 1t is a story of great power
and appeal presented most impress
sively.
"Shame" deals with the life of
young man of wealth, head of a big
shipping interest in San Francisco,
who was born in an alien land David
Fielding is happily married, and is
highly successful in business. He
seems to be fortunes favorite. Then
comes from the land of his birth
man who tries to convince him that
his mother was not white woman,
and that he is half-caste. The idea
takes hold of his mind and maddens
him. Driven to desperation, he takes
his infant child and flees from CIV
ilization to the wilds of Alaska.
From his secretary and friend,
Mrs. Fielding learns where her hus-
band has gone. She follows, accom-
panied by the secretary. In the
snow fields their dog sled is attack
ed by wolves. The secretary jumps
off with a rifle to fight the beasts
The dog team goes on to David's
cabin and stops. David comes out
and finds his wife in the snow. He
carries her in, and is followed by q
big wolf. He grapples, bare-handed
with the brute, and after fierce
fight kills it.
The climax, singularly powerful
one, clears up the haunting MYSTERY
which sent David Fielding into the
iNorthland.
Shame" was staged by Emmett
il. Flynn, who made the William Fox
special, "a Connecticut Yankee il
King Arthur's Court" John Gilbert
who plays the part of David Fielding
was elevated to stardom as result
! of his work in this picture.

pert on cooperative marketing and
attorney for the American Cotton

ers Cooperative Association. The

have made producers and business peo-
pie prosperous in that state.

guest of the cooperative cotton mark
citing association in this state, which
to date has advanced 81, 100000 in
advance payments to its members.

self as pleased with the progress made

business experience OF the merchants
and the sound guidance OF the bank
ers. He declared that cooperative
marketig is sweeping this country and

ton, but potatoes, peanuts, pecans and
