Jackie Coogan in Long Live
the King

The small kingdoms in central Eu-
rope are apparently becoming as popu-
lar with moving picure directors as with
comic opera writer's.
The latest photoplay of lesser roy
atty, Long Live the King, shown at
Loew's Columbia yesterday. has Jackie
Coogan in its favor, which means a
great deal. For. instead of mere kingl>
puppets and wooden soldiers dressed in
fancy uniforms, there is a real, EdneSt-
to-goOdness boy, who is full of mischief
and loves to play hockey, even though
he is a crown prince.
All the old stand d-bys of fiction keep
him company-bomb-thr throwing CON
spirators, distressed ladies' in waiting,
who wiring their hands and sob over
portraits of their loved ones: unhappy
prncesSes about to be married against
their own wishes to save the king
DOM: dashing officers of the court, who
are ever ready to lay down their lives
for their sovereign but who find plenty
of spare moments in which to win the
hearts Of the princeSSes.
However, one fOrgetS them in the
superb acting of the diminutive hero,
for he runs the gamult of emotions in
this film. First. he is introduced bow
ing 10 the multitude as he deSCendS
from the royal carriage. with dignity
and poise which indicate that he might
indeed have been "to the purple born"
Then he takes an initial scenic railway
trip. and joy, terror and distress are
that every person in the audience feels
that he himself is shooting down the
perilOusly steep slopes, then slowly
climbing to a greater height to expert
ence the dizzy sensation again.
Jackie mimics the people of the palace
for the diversion of his two favorite
companions with an indeScribable ar
tistry of expression, and he bring tears
dangerously near the eyes wh~n he is
forced TO part from a pathetic little
dog. Perhaps his biggest moment.
though. is when he liftg a glass 10
drink the health of his beloved grand
father, the king. and then suddenly
hears the tolling of bellsfi which mean
the king is dead.
He is a real artist, this little boy,
and the greatest tribute TO his art is
to say that il must be seen. for the
written word fails to describe II ade-
quately.

BURNS OF TIE MOUNTAINS

So long as red blood runs in the
veins of Americans there viii always
be interest in the gripping story Of
achievement told by President James
A. Burns, Of Oneida Institute, Onei-
da, Kentucky, who will be the speak
er on Monday evening December 10,
at the High School Auditorium.
BURNS is a powerful, dominating
speaker and in this story Of the found
ing Of Oneida lies one Of the real ro-
mances Of the South.
He was a mountain lad, born in
the hills Of Kentucky. His uncIes
cousins, and all relatives were mixed
up in the deadly Kentucky folds
Even before he has reached manhood,
young Burns realized the futility "
trying to end personal grievances BY
means Of the rifle. One day there
came to him the inspiration that i
is knowledge which really gives mar
power over his fellowmen, and some
thing whispered to him that with the
education Of his mountainer brothers,
there would naturely die out the bit
ter feeling between opposing noun
4ain clans. He had no money and
he realized that the first step in ed
ucating his neighbors would be the
education OF himself. This he SCI
out to do and he did it with the same
thoroughness that has characterized
every one Of his many later efforts.
He had a vision Of mountain
school, free college, where the Il.
literate folks Of the interior noun

ages which he had won for himself

N-H-N-[N(N< -
Tn eannual sale Of Christmas Seals
under the direction Of the Barbour
County Committee on Tuberculosis
and Public Health will commence on
December 1t and continue until
Christmas.
The proceeds from these penny
seals are used for an anti-tubercu
losis program in this county and es-
pecially directed toward preventive
measures agaisnt disease.
During the past few months the
outstanding accomplishment Of the
Committee on Tuberculosis and
Public Health has been: The Tu-
berculosis Survey Of Barbour Coun-
ty under the direction Of Miss LEILA
Dickinson.
Important and effective as the
work described above has been, the
committee believes it can be made
much more so. The larger the sale
of Christmas Seals, the greater and
more comprehensive viii the lines Of
health work that can be put into eff
feet.
The following letter enclosing ST.
5000 worth Of seals has been sent
out to almost every home in the
county, most Of whom are annual
purchasers and contributors to the
cause.
Dear Friend:
You can help stamp out" tuber-
culosis by using these Seals on your
Christmas packages and letters. The
purchase Of the Seals may seem
Little thing to you, but do you know
that they have been largely respon-
sible for decreasing the number Of
deaths from tuberculosis in the Unit
edStates from 100000 to 100000 in
the last fifteen years Further eff
fort can save more lives.
In West Virginia tuberculosis is
killing over 1900 persons annually.
There are over $4,000 sick and spread
ing the disease to innocent children.
The Christmas Seals and Health
Bonds are our only means of obtain
ing money to promote local organ
ization, health education, medical
clinics, nursing service, instruction
in school and home, summer cmaps,
open air schools, preventoriums, and
sanitoriums for guiding the sick TO
health.
Among the many organizations
which ask your support, ours strikes
at the very root of the greatest
cause of poverty sickness. If we
can cure many who are i'll, and help
to avoid illness, there will be less
need Of charity. Ours is public
service, an organized campaign a.
gainst disease that threatens the
safety of even your family and as
sociates.
One Dollar is the price Of each
Hundred Seals. Buy ALL you can
and ALL if you can.
A stamped envelope is enclosed
for your remittance and for the re-
turn Of the Seals You do not buy. A
liberal contribution will be very
much appreciated, for the need is
great, far greater than we can ex-
plain to you by letter.
If any readers have not received
this letter, the Committee requests
that they call up or write the Tuber-
culosis headquarters at Philippi and
the seals will be delivered. The
seals will also be on sale at the fol-
lowing places:
D. Ryan's Book Store
Straders Store
Crin's Department Store
Dr.. w. 0. Davis, Drug Store
The business men of the county
are cooperating this year as never
before by using the seals on all out
going mail. This custom was inau-
gurated by the John Wanamaker

connections or economizing in con-

1t is readily seen, that the mileage
of Class A roads in any given coun-
ty, depends principally upon the size
of the county. To two "main county
roads" in small county may be-
and are, in some cases, rather short,
while the two main roads or routes
in a large county, connecting at its
borders with the main roads of adj
joining counties, are necessarily long

legislature after lengthy debate,
was belived by majority Of the leg
islators to be best suited to the needs
of the state system. While CRITICS.
ed by some counties, it is law under
which the Road Commission must
operate, and can be changed only by
public sentiment, acting through the
legislature.
State Roads Not Necessarily
"Class Al"
While the funds must be apportion-
toned according to Class A mileage,
the Road Commission is not required
to spend all or any specified portion
Of them on the Class A roads or
routes. The act Of 1921 provides that
Glass A roads shall be given "due
consideration in the establishment
of state system be composed wholly
of Glass A routes. In other words,
the best interest of the state sys-
tenn are paramount, and Glass A
roads are to be used only insofar as
they coincide with those interests.
However, it has usually been found
that the Glass A roads are the best
available for the purposes contem-
plated by the law-that is, to con-
meet the various county seats, and
with important roads of adjoining
states.
It is required by the statute, that
the Road Commission shall desig-
nate the various roads comprising
the state system as soon as practi-
cable, and that the road so desig-
mated, before they are taken over
from the counties, cities, and towns,
shall be known as Estate Routes.
These Estate Routes" are taken
over by the State Road Commission
as rapidly as funds are available.
Since the law requires that con-
struction shall be carried on SINFUL
taneously in all the counties, it is
obvious that only certain proportion
of the Estate Routes" in each county
can be taken over in each biennial
period, as money is obtained from the
sale of the bonds authorized by the
legislature.
The law does not require that the
money apportioned to any county
shall be sent on any specified num-
Der of miles. Construction diff
culties and bridges may make one
mile in one county cost more than
/ five miles in an adjoining county.
In every case, the money available
is used to the best advantage, fol-
lowing careful surveys and consider
! ations of all circumstances.

MAIL PILOT MAKES LANDING
AT LOCAL FIELD MINUS WHEEL

Pilot Harry A. Chandler, Of the
U. S. aeroplane mail service, made
a landing at the Rawlins field re-
Gently under most unusual circum-
stances. The story as told to a re-
porter OF the Rock Springs Miner
and published in last weeks issue
Of that paper Is Is follows:
ION leaving Cheyenne Monday I
made what seemed to be a normal
'take-off' but observers on the field
noticed that the left hand wheel on
the ships landing gears flew off Just
as the ship left the ground. In all
probability the bolt holding the wheel
sheared off. l did not know it had
happened.
knowing that a landing under
these circumstances would be disas-
trous, the field at Cheyenne got in
touch with my next stop-Rawlins
and instructed them to signal me
before / landed. This they did in a
very intelligent manner, by waving
the stop signal. AS l was scheduled
to make a stop there in any event,
l knew the waving OF this flag meant
something was wrong SO l flew close
over the men there, who held up a
wheel for me to see. Upon inspec-
ton l then saw that my left wheel
was missing.
THE possibility of this emergency
had often occurred to me, so 1 carried
out the maneuver of landing in &C
cordance with the plans 1 had de-
termined upon. Instead of landing
directly into, the wind / brought the
ship down in such a manner that the
wind struck the ship from the left
the side on which the wheel was
missing-at the same time Just as 1
touched the ground dropping the
right wing very slightly and keeping
the tail high. In this I
rolled about SO feet losing much
speed. Then as the left side began
to settle 1 turned at first slowly,
then very sharply to the left. This
produced the same result as turning
a a quickly-tending to upset the
ship to the right and putting all the
weight on the one wheel. By this
time the ship had lost so much speed
l was unable to keep the butt of the
axle out of the ground any longer,
and 1 came to a full stop without
any damage to the ship.
There was only a fifteen mile
an hour wind blowing at the time,
so the landing was necessarily faster
than usual. but I feel sure that we're
a forty mile wind blowing, this emer-
gency could be met without any
great danger to the ship or pilot, the
only requirement being a steady turn
not too fast to upset the ship, but
fast enough to throw all the weight
on the one wheel"
After the accident Pilot Chandler
continued his trip to Rock Springs
without further difficulty and he is
now being congratulated by his
friends on his fortunate escape from
a bad accident.
The Salt Lake Tribune OF March
14th, in telling of the accident made
an error in the names, giving the
OF pilot Collinson" instead
of Pilot Chandler.
