BITTEN BY RATHER
in PYTHON'S COILS
Two Experiences of Players in "The
Impossible Mrs. Bellew."

Clarence Burton, a popular Para
mount player, who appears in sup
port of Gloria Swanson in her new
Paramount picture "The Impossible
Mrs. Bellew" which will be on view
at the Liberty theatre next Thurs
day-Friday has had many thrilling
experiences during his screen career
But there are two which stand out
in his memory, and he tells of them
as follows:
"I've been the villain in some 287
photoplays, the fellow who always
gets his in the last reel, so they
handed me thrills by the bucketsfull.
I've been thrown over cliffs, locked
in refrigerator cars, tied to railroad
tracks, thrown in the path of stamped
ing elephants, tied to ant hills with
thousands of insects crawling over
me and figured in many like stunts.
"Of them all, however, two stand
out most vividly because they are
with snakes, which | dis
like. In one of them I sat opposite
another man while rattlesnake came
up through a hole in the card table.
The stunt was that he was to pick
the villain'-and we were to let him
bite until he finally selected me! He
picked me the first time-and / near
Iy died when those fangs went tkro
my flesh, even though | knew his
poison sacks had been removed.
In the Coils of the Python a
picture I did before coming to Para
mount, 1 had to get in the grasp of
/ 33-foot snake, weighing $50 pounds
lie was as tame as cat, and, al
hough the regular trainer was away,
went off without hitch.
"a few weeks later ran into the
nan who owned the python, but who
lad not been present at the stunt.
"'You'd never have done that if
ID been there he told me. That
makes body is as delicate as cotton
vool, and if a grain of sand or an
mt had tickled him the instructive
efex of his muscles would have
round you into a mincemeat.'

PROTEST AGAINST
IMPOSSIBLE ORDER

The Commercial clubs, the banks,
and other citizens of the towns along
the line on the reservation are taking
concerted action to persuade the com
missioner of the general land office at
Washington to annul or suspend an
order recently issued. This order,
which comes from Commissioner
Spry, is to the officials of the district
land office at Glasgow. The order,
when stripped of it's legal phrasing,
says in effect that all entrymen on
the reservation whose land payments
are past due, may obtain an extern
sion of year by filing at the land
office afidavits signed by themselves
and two other parties setting forth
their inability to pay and the reasons
therefor. BUT these affidavits must
be accompanied by payment of all
in arrears. The order states
hat failure to file such affidavits and
make such payments subjects the en-
.ries to cancellation.
Might Do 1t With "Marks"
AS everyone knows it is about as
possible for practically all home
teaders, who are in arrears on their
,ayments, to comply with this order
IS it would be for America to redeem
III its Liberty bonds next month, and
Why the general land office should
axe this particular season of the
ear to issue such an order is be-
-ond understanding.

The greatest question before Con

get together and talk things over
before they rush at each others
thrOats
Greed for power and wealth has
brought the European countries TO
tho condition that is threatening
schools they teach hatred and re-
venge. Instead, they should teach
