"THE HOTENTOT"
KNOCKOUT COMEDY.

Look out for the "Hottentott," if
yoyu have cracked lip. 1t is not
possible to sit through it without
laughing-not a smile, or litter,
or a chuckle, but laugh, honest,
hearty and prolonged; laugh that
breaks out in ripples and rumbles
and roars until it bursts all restraints
and becomes guffaw, plain and I'M
ashamed.
Everyone thrills to deeds that
dare, to CHEEKY courage. And that's
one reason why everyone will enjoy
the character of Sam Harrington in
"the hottento," which will be the
picture attraction at the Rylander
on Thursday and Friday. Sam IS
fearless on the seas and has braved
trifles like typhoons and wild men of
the Cannibal Isles. But he's afraid
of horses asd admits it until sudden
ly he finds himself forced to ride IN
steeple chase race or lose the girl
he loves and his own self-respect
"The Hottentot" furnishes laugh
ter and excitement from beginning
to end. 1t starts with a race between
runaway horse and an auto and
ends with a unique steeplechase. The
action never flags. One comic situa-
ton develops into another even
funnier as Sam founders from deep
water to bottomless depths. q.

Of them are wired for electrical
service. In addition, the power
lines are ready to extend the
service to 100000 more homes
as soon as they want the power.
The electric light and power
industry is growing SO rapidly
that it requires a billion dollars
of new capital each year.
Electricity will be the main
fuel and power of the future.
We have barely entered the Flee
trical Age. One of its greatest de-
velopments will be the CONVEX
sion of coal into electric power
at the mines, the power to be
sent out over the country by
tension wires or by radio. Among
other things, this will save ire
mendous sums Of money and time
by eliminating long hauls of coal
from mine to consumer.

CHAINED LIGHTNING

Homework of American wo-

81 million pieces of electrical

The list of these electrical la

3,850,000 Vacuum cleaners.
100000 Electric fans.
$4,000 Electric clothes wash

100000 Heaters and radia-

100000 Toasters.
100000 Coffee percolators.
$4,000 Sewing machines.
10000 Ironing machines.
10000 Dish washers.
These are the devices that
lead. Others, of course. The
wonder is that there aren't mSre
in use. There will be, in time.
In 1880 the population of the
United States was less than half
what it is now. In those days,
less than a million dollars was
invested in the electric light and
power industry.
Today the investment is around
five billion dollars, or about
5000 times as much.

YOUR BOY AND
HIS VACATION.

The chief business of the child
for the first twelve or fourteen
years of his life SHOULD be to
grow strong physically. During
the school term of eight or nine
months he is usually living in a
more or less unnatural way, sit
ting still for longer periods than
he should, following out process
SEES of logically arranged thought
and much too often doing things
in which he has little real inter
est. His natural growth, physical
and in many cases mental, is
more or less interfered with.
Vacation time gives a good
chance to overcome some of the
drawbacks of our schools. Three
months of long hours in the
fresh air and sunshine, tramping,
swimming, fishing, and playing;
a moderate amount of physical
labor for which the child is held
responsible; plenty of plain
wholesome food, sleeping out of
doors, and he will return to his
school in September with brown
ed body, alert mind, and a fund
Of information that the school
could not possibly give him.
His interests will be widened,
his muscles and mind strength
ened, and he will have learned
how to use his leisure time.
Vacation time is most oppor-
tune for a close companionship
between Boy and Dad. Take Boy
along with you out to the farm
or the orchard. Talk you business
over with him. He will under
stand much more of what you
are saying than you would sup
pose, Make Boy your confidant,
and he will make you his conf
dant.

THE GREAT
BELL OF ATRI.

The village Of Atri had a great
bell that was rung only in time
of need. For years it had been
unused, for Atri was prosperous
and content. Its rope, covered
with green vines, trailed to the
ground. One day a starving
horse, turned out to shift for
himself, seized the fresh green
tendrils in his teeth. The bell
above him began to ring, atten-
ton was called to the predica-
ment of the poor beast, and he
became a well-fed ward of the
town.
Advertising is a bell that is
continually ringing to call your
attention to something you need
and ought to have.
Merchants and manufacturers,
who are making and selling
something they think you WILL
want, are using its clarion notes
to attract you to their wares,
Do you read the advertising?
Many people do. They are the
wise shoppers-the economical
buyers-the ones who are strict
ly up-to-date on the opportuni-
ties for saving money or spend
ing it to greatest advantage.
Read the advertisements. They
will tell you of many things you
need. Read them to save steps
to save money. Read them be-
cause they place before your
eyes amoying panorama of bust
ness progress. Read them to
keep yourself informed.

LOCATED.
Long, long l sought for Already
That realm of happy necromancy.
Where hearts are gay, and minds are free
Of everything but joyous fancy;
All up and down the world | trailed
Out to the sky-line-and behind it,
Pursuing Already, but failed.
To find it.
| asked the way of sages wise.
With cynic scorn their features twisted,
They could not tell me where it lies,
They doubted if the place existed;
Yet somehow I could not forget
My hopes about that land elysian,
Though Already had never met
My vision.
Then-all at once the skies grew fair,
Within my veins new warmth was glowing,
And felt Arcadian breezes blowing;
/ found fragrance on the air
No longer do l need to trace
The land where milk and honey-dew are,
My Already is any place
Than YOU are!
