his remarkes was proven by the fact
that he requested each speaker to
submit their talk in writing for him
for publication in the church papers.
Rev. o. S. Reigstad, president of
the Twin City Lutheran Sunday
school association, spoke in the even
ing on the subject: "Why Believe
in Religious Education" basing his
address on the words of Christ,
Render therefore unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars, and unto
God the things that are Gods" The
speaker urged religious instruction
on the grounds that: |. Man is in
curably religious; 2. Religious in
strrction is based on on specific
teaching Of ~. Master; 3. 1t promotes
godliness both in the world that now
is and that is to come; A. 1t is like
key that opens the door to a broader
perspective. The address by Rev.
Reigstad was heart to heart mes
sage and well received.
The special music at the evening
session was furnished by the River
Falls congregation. Selections were
rendered by the orchestra, choir and
male quartette.
The programs presented at all the
sessions were exceptionally strong
and inspirational and much credit is
due to those who took part for their
efforts to make the convention the
success that it was. Credit is also
due to the officers of the Parish
Sunday school association in select
ing and arranging the program. A
large and interested audience was
present at each session and it is con-
servatively estimated that fully 1920
people attended the Institute.

MORE ACORNS FOR BEARS;
CABBAGE FOR THE DEER

Secretary c. Ed. Shepard of the
Rod & Gun Club wishes the attention
of the boys and girls of this commun-
ity called to the fact that "Billy" and
"Betty," the Glen Park zoo cubs,
want some more acorns. The cubs
are growing fast, and they're always
hungry. There are lots of acorns on
the ground now, and Billy and Betty
sure will appreciate it if their young
friends gather up enough for few
meals.
Mr.. Shepard says that the deer are
fond of cabbage, and it would be con-
sidered a great favor if those who
raised cabbage this year would Gull
out some of the soft or otherwise un-
marketable specimens and present
them to the deer.

OUTLOOK FOR
THE CHURCH SCHOOLS
OF PIERCE COUNTY

Last Sunday the third one of the
series Of Pierce County church school
rallies was held at the M. e. churc !
in Ellsworth, the first one having
been held at Ono, Sept. %, and the
second at Diamond Bluff, Sept. 80.
The Ellsworth M. E. church acted as
host to the church schools of the sur
rounding territory last Sunday, and
the people of that church spared no
effort to make the rally the splendid
success which it was.
A very large proportion OF the
thirty-two schools of the county were
represented at one or more OF the
three rallies. Some of the schools
were represented at all three rallies
and both county and state conven-
tions. Ten of the number had rep
resentatives at two or more of the
five meetings. All of this speak,
well for the effort these schools are
making to become as intelligent and
proficient as possible.
The county convention and the
rallies were under the direction of the
county association, which is a part
of the great body known as the
Wisconsin Christian Education Coun-
Gil and of the still larger National
Sunday School Organization. These
organizations, national, state and
county, are for church schools of all
denominations, and at the rallies
just held eight denominations inter-
mingled. The spirit Of Christian
fellowship developing from the
friendly mingling of such large num-
bers of workers in common cause
the great cause of religious education
lis one of the outstanding results of
these gatherings. Enthusiasm and
new courage for difficult undertakings
is likewise an important result. In
more than one community in this
county. one love worker-sometimes
woman. sometimes a man-fur-
nishes the entire leadership and
teaching force for the Sunday School.
Little wonder if such a leader some
times questions whether the thing he
is doing is worth while, if no one else
is willing to put any effort into it.
But when one Of these lone workers
lines up with the three hundred and
fifty other leaders and twenty eight
hundred church school members in
the county, he has new realization
of the dignity and bigness of his
work. He gains confidence and cour-
age. The international and educa-
tive purpose was the main one in the
rallies just held. That these gather
ings in the cause of religious educa-
ton served the purposes named
above to large degree is evident
from the splendid response which
practically all of the schools are
making to suggestions given, and
from the enthusiasm and vigor with
which they are making plans for in
creased and more effective activity.
Indeed. the outlook for the church
school work of the county was never
as inspiring as at present.

ROBERT " CHAMBERS
THE COMMON LAW
Coming To Rylander Soon: Con-
way Tearle and Corinne Grit
filth Starring

The Common Law" the ia
nous Robert w. Chambers novel
has been made into a motion pic
ture and will be a coming attrac-
ton at the Rylander. Next to the
story value, perhaps the most out
standing feature of this production
is it's cast which co-stars Corinne
Griffith and Conway Tearle and
carries in their support such we'll
known names as Elliott Dexter,
Doris May, Hobart Bosworth, Bry-
ant Washburn, Miss DUPONT,
Phyllis Haver, Wally Van and
Harry Myers.
The story of The Common Law"
is so well Known that it is hardly
necessary to more than briefly
sketch it. 1t has to do with the
life Of an innocent young girl,
thrown quite by chance into the So
ciety Of artists, sculptors and the
Bohemian atmosphere which sur
rounds this class of people. She
consents to pose in the nude and
achieves a great success as model
Great love comes to her and is re-
turned by the artists who first saw
her possibilities, but any union be-
tween them is bitterly opposed by
the artist, Neville's family. She
finally offers to live with her low
er as his common law wife and
such a liason is almost effected. A
dramatic conclusion is grippingly
and realistically handled.

Rylander is one Of action inter
spersed with comedy, Including
William S. Hart in "Blaze Derlinr

WOMEN MEN MARRY
DRAMATIC s 7 DRY
A Story of Love. Greed, Cupid
lily and Snobbishness of a
Beautiful Woman

Women Men Marry" the fea-
ture at the Rylander next Wednes-
day is logical and yet intensely
dramatic study of womenkind in
general and of women in particular
who are confronted with the duties
and responsibilities Of matrimony.
Edward Dillon in the handling Of
the picture is neither too serious
nor too satirical With the grace
full ease of master he assemblies
his characters and breathes life into
them. In a twinkling they are
alive with human impulses which
actuate the feminine mind and
heart and which are set in motion.
The four elements-love, false
pride, love of powder and money,
and mother love-are let loose. A
battle royal ensues, each contes-
ant using the tlme-honored weapon
which God has given him or her.
Woman, with her wiles and her toa-
dernesS, her tears and her physi-
cal appeal, enters the fray of life.
Man, determined and strong, but
bewildered, tries to see through
the devious ways of women and
fails. Money, with its power daz-
zles the eye end unseats the better
judgment of both men and women.
1t is then that our old 1riendt and
enemy Matrimony makes her sinu-
Gus and seductive entrance upon
the stage, thinking that the field is
hers by easy conquest.
Emotions, cupidity, greed and
snobbishness revolve wildly as this
human drama unfolds itself. A
beautiful young woman, her out
look on lire warped by false edu-
cation, is about to commit self-sac-
rifece in order to wear the empty
honors of a marchioness' coronet,
but love enters, and under the all
Illuminating effulgence of the Di-
vine PASSION the raging waters &c
discord and poisoned hearts are
stilled. Such in symbol is the
theme of Women Men Marry
In the cast of women Men
Marry are E. K. Lincoln. Charles
Hammond, h'edda Hopper, Cyril
Chadwick and Julia Swayne Cor
don. On the same program will be
shown a comedy, Full of Pep"

towering 8 feet and quarter
inches above the ground, weighing
400 pounds Exclusive of his shoes,
hich weighed twenty pounds
apiece, and with hands that
resembled couple of Armour's
pet hams.
Variety, originality and ideas
characterize the Harold Lloyd COM
edies. why Worry " is like ndAe
OF his former, and yet it is typical
ly Lloyd, because Lloyd's comedies
are always funny, are always skill
full, are always varied, and are al
was created out of an idea. "Why
Worry" is pure, unalloyed farce
comedy of romance and adventure,
as it can be found in the midst Of
a red-hot South American revolu-
ton.
Harold Lloyd tickles the world.
His joyous-hearted fun is feather
in the hands of a happy, prankish
child of genius. 1t unerringly
touches the sensitive spot with that
light touch that results in peculiar.
th''iI' ag sensation that produces
LAUGHTER.
You may think you are tickle
proof, but Lloyd will find your
weak spot. At any minute dur
ing why Worry" he will spring
some funny gag that will so closely
touch something in your own life
that you will laugh in spite of year-
self.
"Why Worry" says lloyd as he
perorms his latest tickle treatment.
It's kill or cure-you'lI be tickled
pinh or tickled to death But how
more glorious it is to die laughing
