ENTIRE MINING TOWN WAS
BUILT FOR BIG PICTURE

When it came to finding a village to
represent the mythical "Panamint," a
mining town locale for Jack Hollis
latest Paramount picture, while Sa-
tan Sleeps" showing at the Plaza The
atre next Saturday, the location de-
partment at the Paramount studio in
California was in a quandary. The
scenario called for a California viii

type and hundred miles from water;
that is, on the edge of the desert. So
there was nothing else to do but hunt
out an old time village that has long
since gone to decay and rebuild it. The
"Panamint" described in Peter B.
Kyne's story, "The Parson of Pana-
mint" from which the picture was
built under the direction of Robert M.
Haas, art director, was one of the
largest villages that has been con-
structed by Paramount in long time.
1t consisted of twenty buildings, in
cluding hotel, church, bar and grill.
barber shop, butcher shop, assay Office
-sheriff's office, a furnishings store,
bank, general store, pawn shop, rec
tory and dwellings. The village Oc-
cupied three acres of ground and was
so constructed as to take a 465 foot
camera shot, which in motion picture
parlance is a "lOng shot" In making
the scenes Joseph Henabery, the di-
rector, used more than five hundred
persons. FRITZ Brunette plays oppo-
site the star.

"CANYON OF THE FOOLS"
COMING TO NIXON THEATRE

Heralded as the most entertaining
production in which Harry Carey has
ever appeared "Vanyon of the Fools"
will be shown at the Nixon Theatre on
Friday and Saturday of next week. It
is Mr.. Careys third big production for
the Film Booking Offices of America,
in which af1liation the famous, Wes-
tern star is winning his greatest sue
cess. Based on Richard Matthews Hal
let's stirring tale of the same title,
which ran serially recently in the Sat
urday Evening Post, Canyon of the
Fools" is an ideal vehicle for Mr.. Car
ey. His whimsical humor, his daring
and his keen sense of the dramatic
make of his character a masterpiece
of impersonation. The story has to do
with the adventures of a cowboy, one
Bob McCarty, and the plot is replete
with thrilling incident and smashing
climax. Carey has a role which critics
regard as easily the most winning of
his career before the camera.
The cast includes Fred Stanton,
Clayton, Joseph Harris,
Jack Curtis, Carmen Arselle, Charles
J. LIE Moyne, Vester Pegg, Murdoch
and Migonne Golden.

When the World War emergency arose
and it became suddenly necessary
greatly to expand our army, Congress
enacted draft law that applied to
every male citizen alike. They were
not permitted to take advantage of the
unprecedented demand for men and
bid up the price for their services ac-
cordingly. Each man was seized by his
government, examined as to age and
other qualifications, and, if found sat
isfactOry, sent to the front line to
fight for his country.
But while Congress fixed new and
rigid rules for communicating the
country's wealth of man power for
military service, it said nothing as to
the conduct of material wealth in the
war emergency or of labor employed
in civilian pursuits, and the law of
supply and demand was left free to
enhance prices and wages out of all
reason. Private property, in the shape
of the outputs of hundreds of factor
les, was taken. but instead of the COM
pensatiOh therefor being just as
contemplated by the Constitution, it
was highly unjust The critics of Pres
ident Harding make the error of con-
STRUNG the term just compensation
only as fixing a reasonable minimum
below which the government shall not
go in making payment for private
property. But that payment must be
just not only to the payee but to the
government itself, that is, the tax
payers. Congress, therefore, has the
power to protect the government
against extortionate prices, in other
words, to -conscript wealth."

Womcn's attitude on the Maine
primary law at the hearing IN Au
gusta the other day was just about
what could he expected. Those who
have an academic or theoretical
knowledge OF practical politics be-
friended the primary While those of
practical political experience sided
with the men who opposed it for
about the same reasons.
Few women in the state have had
more practical political experience
than Mrs. jennie Flood Kregar of
Fairfield. She was long active in the
battle for suffrage, having a chance
then to absorb much of the theories
that appeal most to women. That
fight won, she entered enthusiastic
ally into practical politics. She has
served on political committees, been
out organizing and stamping and
won merited recognition as a very
efficient worker in any line Of legiti-
mate political endeavor. She is the
home maker type. however. the first
part of her life being devoted to do
mestic duties. Only when plenty Of
leisure came to her did she become
specially interested in political mat
tiers. SO she is thoroughly repre-
sentative of her sex and a model for
women participating in politics.

Our Political Trend in Maine
(LeWiston JournaD

NLcW ISlOil JOuTlldlD
We are curious people and have
a notion that it is wise to shift and
change often.
The republicans in Maine find
little comfort in the vote of Monday
especially in the cities. But Maine
cities are democratic by disposition
and usually by vote.
However. we feel that there is II
trend away from administrations
and governments. The danger is in
carrying this thing too far. We see
a realingment Of all political parties
however on the rum question. 1t
is shameful that it must be. In
Maine. however. the people who be-
lieve in enforcement and in the
abolishmen. of the saloon forever,
will beware OF their affiliations. The
women, in particular. who have a
great stake at hand should not for
get that they are to demonstrate
their love of country and of virtu-
Gus government by their activity for
the common causes Of the home and
the childhood Of our land.
The next great issue will be the
issue of the Eolstead law. 1t will
obscure all others and endanger our
national life. 1t upset New York;
defeated the best men in New Jer
sey; ran riot in Illinois and sent
lot of lesser men, to Congress be-
cause they We're shrewd enough to
gauge the popular inertia and under
stand the reactions Of the people at
critical time.
There are to be great things doing
in Maine as we'll as in other states:
and issues passionate: partisan; ap-
pealing are developing that may not
work we'll for our good as a state.
Let's not be over eager for changes.
We are doing very we'll as we are.
The less legislation The better; when
in doubt vote NO"

idea of putting up food products In
tin cans, shaped like an old-fashlon-

could make sixty of those cans IN
day, was master workman and solder
enough was used on one to make a
dozen today. From that we have
gone in this country to more than
four billion cans per year.
Yeas they laughed at the idea OF
canning foods once and those who
laughed were considered respectfully
