THE steady absorption by picture

Dunlap. coupled with the inflated

has been found to relieve the strin-

That Mr.. Fox also has faith in the
adaptability of authors to the screen
is indicated by the fact that he risked
a large sum Of money in producing
skid Proof and numerous other
nlm-plays of like origin. In speaking
of the latter production Mr.. Dunlap

THRILLING with HONOR GOOD
STORY ADAPTED TO BIG film

Bat was signed by a sports syndi-
cate to write a series of articles deal
ing with his hoyhood life and early
training. AS a matter OF fact, Bats
early career was the shade of mid.
night. but this fac he masked be-
meath a surly disposition that left
small chance for enlightenment. His
refusal to reveal any of tho points OF
interest in his early life led an i'm.
aginative reporter e create a ficti
tious past for Bat that read like the
memoirs of a cross between a Sunday
school story and a Horatio Alger
novel.
It was a thrill to the kids. and be.
cause It depicted Bat as the ~cleanest
type OF youngster It left an indellble
desire IN the part of his boyish wor.
shippers to do things worth while.
thrilling with Honor is more than
wholesome. 1t is chockfull of dra-
matte interest for every theater-goer.

= Real human drama is woven into
the story OF 'Trifling With Honor"
the Universal-Jewel p~hotodrama which
has its opening locally ut the wy
oming Thente today.
On the baseball field Bat Shugrue
hit around 400 and was the home-run
king Of tho league. In private life
his batting average was practically
nil. Physically he was a battleship.
morally a derelict. But because his
private life was his own and his pro-
fessional life the public's. it was the
latter side of his nature that 'got into
print"
Every kid who swung a bat on a
sand lot knew of Bat Shugrue. He
was a champion Of his class, therefore
a hero with the lads who loved the
national sport. 1t was Bat. the home
run king. whom they knew and wor-
shipped for his prowess. 1t was
natural that such widespread interest
should make Bat good copy for the
newspapers.

MR.. LANDIN SPEAKS

The students Of the high school
once again had the pleasure of hear
ing speech by an outsider when Mr..
Landin, one of the two Albion college
students who were here as represent
atives of that college during the en-
tire last week at the M. E. church, ad-
dressed the assembly on Thursday
last. The subject of his talk was;
first, the need on concentrative study
in high school, and second, Albion
College.
He rightfully claimed that a we'll
devised system of study formed in
high school will make the more diff
cult work in college easier. He COM
pared the making of man in college
to the making Of a pin-a Unique
comparison but suitable.
He dwelt longer on the second part
of his speech, for the home Of his
struggles and aspirations is dearer
to him than all things else. His ad-
vice on closing was for everyone to
come to Albion.

PLANNING NEW WATER SUPPLY

One of the most important inn
provements that the officials Of our

of increasing the water supply. En-

Electrical Engineer Joseph Green of
Crystal Falls spent few days here
this week advising the local officers
ss to what they will need and how
lsrge pump will be required to
pump the water from L'Anse bay.
The need for new water system
has been apparent the past few years
and since the purchase of the Stearns
& Culyers Lumber Company"s opera
tions here by the Ford Motor Com
pany, the coming in of the many new
people has, required a greater supply,
and it must be increased at once.
