NORMA TALNIADGE AT PALACE

Norma Talmadge shows how a strkingly handsome brunette can be transformed into an olive complex toned daughter of the tropics in Loves Redemption her latest First National attraction which is showing at the Palace theater.
 Miss Talmadge has difficult part in the role of Ginger, the young girl of Jamaica who is the heroine of the story: but her effective portrayal of the character places it as one of her best screen accomplishments.
 Miss Talmadge is supported by a strong cast of well-known film play CTS. including Harrison Ford
 The Keith vaudeville bill will be a specially selected program of four great acts with Sylvia, charming little miss This little tot is excep- tionally talented and will no doubt be well liked during her stay in this city; Jewell and Rita are two clever misses who offer a singing and dancing number with a bit of chatter for comedy results. The Worth Way ten Four are as good, if not better than their name implies. This quar- tette is vocal calliope. and their harmony is perfect; Golden Show ers' is the name of the offering with Mabel Morgan and her company.

CANAL TAXES
Records of Tolls On Ships of Same
 Tonnage Differ.

Washington, Sept. 11.-That one of tow sister ships, as nearly alike as possible in principal features, should be taxed more than twice as much as the other for the privilege of passing through the Panama canal appears to be analomous. Yet the canal record explains that the ballast tanks of one ship were blanked off, so that they could only be filled with seawater for ballast. The other ship also could use her tanks for the carriage of oil and that was why she paid s12,02o tolls in the canal while her sister ship got off with a tax of s5,156.
 One of these ships,-the Marora of the Ore Steamship Corporation, car ried through the canal the largest cargo, one of iron ore from Chilli for New York weighing 10000 tons. and paid the lowest rate ever collected. 25.78 cents per ton.

Well Paddy Muskrat looked, And he was dumbtonnded
 Meanwhile the neighhors had heard the dispute. Already they had gathered around to listen,
 Poor Paddy Mnskrat! He didn't know what 10 say or do. He didn't want everybody to know that he had been fooing the public. He didn't want his friends to know that he couldn't read word,
 Now, Mrs. Muskrat was a keen person. Secretly she had been aware all the time that her husband didn't know his letters, and couldn't pos sibly read. But she didn't want the neighbors to find that out She whisked the paper out of Paddy's paws and hurried into her house with it. And when she brought it back few minutes later it was cov- cred with scratches.
 "There." she said to Jimmy Rab- Dit. If you know so much about newspapers, just read this one"
 And he couldn't do it.

COMES A CLOUD.

IT fAst, it made the first cloud in theil hitherto complete trust in each other | To Comics acute sensitiveness Ii | loomed big as thunderhead, for all Fred thought he was hiding it SC successfully.
 He laid all his knowledge of the Fuller -Stelyard scrap of letter before Watkins, his brother salesman, and i Watkins quietly passed the wool along the Row The fellows decided that for each of them to plunge clumsily into buying Barringer stock would be to spoil their own campaign. So they formed a pool, with Fred as acting head, since it was he who knew most of the affair. In his hands were placed the savings of l2 young sales men, with power to invest in Barring CT Motors. Fred put all his own sav- ines into it.
 On the day the thing was arranged Connie sat silent throughout the eve ming meal. Fred himself was moodi- ly ill at ease. He was too excited to eat, but seeing his wife's preoccupa- ton tried to arouse a gaiety he did not feel. To his alarm, his first ef- fort to joke brought down the storm.
 I'm in no mood for fun" she said, looking suddenly into his face with misty eyes.
 Then, abruptly pushing back her plate, she rose and with caught breath rushed from the table, into her bed room and shut the door with a bang.
 Amazed, Fred followed, to find her flung across her bed, racked and sob- bing.
 What's the matter, dear!" He was frightened, guilty and heartsore, damning himself inwardly for a brute and coward Don't cry like that, I can't bear you to. Tell me, my dearest"
 "you-you're k-keeping something from me. You d-don't love me as you used to, or you--you'd trust me. IT know what it is. It's that wom- an You and she have some secret together, l know it, know it-and I'm shut out"

 And he poured out in tumbled sen tcnces the story of the pool.

 She faced him, a hard light in her eyes.

HOW PADDY MUSKRAT READ
 THE NEWSPAPER.

Old Mir. Crow had once had what he called newspaper Only one person took his newspaper; and that was Brownie Beaver. Mr. Crow didn't actually leave paper at Brownies door each morning. What he did was to fly over to Beaver vil- lage, perch on top of Brownie Beav- CTS house. and call the news down the chimney. But in time the two quarreed. And MT. Crow stopped having a newspaper,
 IL was Jimmy Rabbit who put into old MT. Crows head the idea of hav- ing another.
 This would be a real one" Jimmy explained, as Mir Crow listened with his black head cooked on one side. Print the news on pieces of birch

bark, and I'll deliver the papers for you"
 The scheme pleased the old gen. tleman. He get to work at once and covered a stNp of birch bark with scratches
 There" Mir. Crow exclaimed. when he had finished. T don't know what those marks mean, But they look we'll, anyhow And he gave this strange sort of newspaper to Jimmy Rabbit, saying, Leave this at Paddy Muskrat's door. He's our first subscriber. We'll have msre soon"
 After that Paddy Muskrat spent every morning on the bank of the mill pond, reading the paper" as he expressed it. Actually he didn't know how to read But he wanted the neighbors to think he did; so he related everything he could think of, aloud. in sing-song voice. And when he couldn't think of anything more than he knew to be true, he made up news as he went along.
 All this was very annoying to Mrs Muskrat. Morning after morning she had to listen to Paddys droning
 For goodness sake, if you must read read to yourself" she bade her husband, when she felt that she couldn't endure his chatter any longer.
 T am reading to myself" he told her.
 T mean, don't read aloud,"
 He looked at her in wonder
 How shall I know what the paper says if I don't read it aloud 2" he asked. "Who ever heard of any body's being able to read in any other way?"
 Well. Mrs Muskrat didn't know. And she couldn't stop Paddy He kept on with his reading, every day. And Mrs. Muskrat had to go down to the other end of the mill pond to do her washing each Monday. She said she couldn't work with so much talking going on,
 At last there came a time when old Mir. Crow was too busy to cover strip of birch bark with scratches. So he handed Jimmy Rabbit plain piece of bark
 T don't want to disappoint Paddy Muskrat," MT. Crow remarked. I'd hate to lose my only subscriber Give him this, Perhaps he won't know the difference"
 So Jimmy Rabbit left the plain piece of birch bark at Paddy Musk rats door. And sure enough! Pad- dy picked it up, sat himself down upon the bank. and began to read aloud, It was no wonder that Jimmy stopped and listened to him in amazement.
 Pretty soon Paddy read this bit of news: Jimmy Rabbit spent the weekend at Beaver Village.
 That's not true" Jimmy cried. That's not in the paper"
 You're right" said Paddy Musk rat hastily. "The lights poor and cant see well. What it says is this: Jimmy Rabbit is going to spend the next weekend at Cedar Swamp
 That's not true either" Jimmy Rabbit declared. That can't be in the paper"
 "Yes, it is." Paddy Muskrat in- [ sisted
 Tt can't be-" Jimmy told him. Look at your paper again. Haven't you noticed that there isn't a mark on it this morning."

DIFFICULTIES INCREASE
Country's Foreign Trade Does Not Mean Well For Those Who Have Capital Invested.

Tokio, Sept. 9.-The continued ad- verse condition of the country's for eign trade justifies anticipation of further difficulty that will be attend ant on the recovery of capital invest ed said Mr. Hikikatta, president of the Japan Industrial Bank at the annual meeting of the shareholders. He added:
 Tn order to counteract the uneasi- ness thus instilled, the bank made a proper choice of an opportunity for the foatation of public loans. The debentures, so far issued by the Bank for such purposes amount to 595, 5,000000 yen for the first half of the current year, which means an in- crease of 44,000,000 yen over the fig- ures for the preceding term.
 'The absorption of capital in the public money market thus realized naturally tended to tighten the mar ket tone until interest on fixed de- posits was raised by to s rin all round.

DAILY FORTUNE TO Be
USED FOR EDUCATION

Portland, Or, May 10.-Seven
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars from the estate OF the late
Bendard Daily will go toward the
education of the children in this
political subdivision, according
to the wish expressed in his will.
This became certainty today
when the six months allowed by
law in which to perfect an appeal
expired and it became known that
no further contest over the will
left by Daily was in prospect.
Although he never married and
had no direct heirs, distant rela-
tives attacked the unusual bequest
made by DAILY in the Lake county
circuit court. The court declared
the will valid. DAILY amassed his
fortune in Lake county and was
for many years a school director
deeply interested in children.
