POLA NEGRI BECOMES
A VERY BRAVE WOMAN

1t takes a brave woman and a
bold director to give the natural
ending to a movie, although it is
not the Pollyanna stuff.
Such an ending you win discover
in Lilly of the Dust a new Pola
Negri picture.
Lily is one of those foreign girls
who marries a Continental Army Of
ficer who is cruel. She marries him
for wealth and position. All the
time she loves a young army officer.
Lily was always getting into trout

a purple lily. She makes one more
attempt to come back TO the man
she loves. but the lily could not
change her color. She is forced TO
accept a man who had tons Of
money but not much morals.
As you see, this is the continental
attitude on easy living. Lily is Il
European Anna Christie. but she
hasn't the backbone that Anna pos
sessed. Lily was always going
down lower and lower on the social
ladder. Personally. this sort of a
drama does not worry me one bit.
Such conditions in Europe VIII never

Negri has had a lot Of trouble in
finding cut just what America wants
to see her in. In a Lily type Of q

When the liver becomes weak, the

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED.

CONTINUED.
Miss Anderson said she really felt
sorry for Priscilla Bradford, Leslie,
when your mother-in-law seemed to
repudiate all responsibility for her
room rent. Although she knew all
the trouble that old maid had caused.
she realized she was alone, and that
fifty dollars meant a great deal to
her.
When she told me about the fra
cas-, she said she had been around
many men and women, in her nurs-
ing experience, who had prided them
selves on their Puritan ancestry,
and one of the outstanding charac-
teristics which they all had in com
mon was their horror Of debt.
"Of course" she said, Il knew
Miss Bradford must have some
money, because she spends so little,
and I had heard Mrs. Prescott say
she had been left quite comfortable;
but it did not keep her from almost
heartbreaking worry to have to dip
into her savings and pay this bill,
which I am sure is more for a room
than she has ever paid before in her
life, for the same number Of weeks,
let alone days.
Mrs. Prescott did not fail to call
dear Priscilla's s attention that it
was only room rent sire was sup
posed to pay, as all meals for the
three Of us had been charged on her
bill, said Miss Anderson, but that
did not seem to comfort the lady
much"
Anyway, Miss Anderson worked
on my sympathies to such an extent
that I paid the bill and charged it
to your account with the shop.

A STORY AND IT'S SEOVEI,

Little Miss Jacquelin Ames had often
heard OF the Shenandoah Valley. Visi-
tors in her home had told her of its
wonders and pictured its glories. The
twelve year old Miss was skeptical and
in her youthful judgment the stories
OF this wonderland were conceived in
the imaginations of Valley propagan-
dists.
Recently Miss Jacquelin was /
Woodstock visitor. and paraphrasing
an age old epigram ''She came, she
saw, she was conquered" When sht
got home. this is what she wrote:
THE Shenandoah Valley. where the
mountains highly border,
With the red bud shining now,
| And the white Infringing dogwood
In its coat is now abloom.
Where the stream in all its beauty
| Winds around the mountain side.
And caverns far, far under field
| No lovelier spot can nature yield"

We. do not know what Mr..
Byrd's plans are. nor whether he
contemplates entering the contest

diction that if he should aspire
Messrs. Mapp and West and
Moore will have a competition
who will put their strength to

capable of speaking for himself
and will doubtless do so when iit
deems the time propitious To-
such a decision.

ROBBERY NEAR SrRASBURG

road, one of the boys, Paul Walters,
went to the side of it to see what the
occupants wanted. He was asked for
a cigarette and when he reached in his
pocket, he was hit over the head,
knocked unconscious and robbed of
all his money. The car got away be-
fore his companions realized what was
happening, and he did not get any
clue to the identy of the men who
were in it although he says he would
recognize them on sight, as they wore
no disguise.
The boy was taken immediately to

CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION

May term of the Circuit Court of
Shenandoah Comfy, which has been
sitting internationally since the second
Monday in last month, was again in
session on Tuesday, and after dispos-
ing of such matters as were ready for
a hearing, adjourned until Thursday.
Chief among the Courts action was
the refusal to set aside the verdict of
guilty found by jury in the case of
the Commonwealth against Joseph F.
Wisman, Supervisor from Madison
district.
Wisman was indicted and convicted
for attempting to obstruct justice in a
grand jury investigation of his acts in
an alleged violation of the license
law, by soliciting influence to be
brought to bear on members of the
jury in his behalf, a $500 fine was
assessed upon his conviction, and
motion was made to set aside the
iury's finding. II is rumored that the
case will be taken to the Court of
Appeals.
Soft drink permits were granted E.
j. Rosenberger and j. C. Burkholder
of New Market.
Pension applications of Alice K.
Schaffer and w. S. Barham were ap-
proved and ordered certified to the
auditor of public accounts.
Upon petition of the Turkey Knob
Orchard Company deduction of 80
acres from 500 acre tract was made
in the payment of orchard tax, and the
Court took under consideration the
question of age of certain trees in
volved in the assessment of this tax.
The Court ordered that the official
vote of the town of Strasburg upon the
question of the issuance of $4,000
bond be certified to the Clerk of said
town, it appearing that there were
100 votes for bonds and 70 votes
against.
