TAX FIGHT TELLS
ON FRENCH PREMIER
Poincare Shows Wear and Tear of
Parliament and Great
Nervousness.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 16.-Premier Poin-
care Is showing the wear and tear OF
his struggle in parliament to put
through the extra taxation program.
He has aged greatly in the last few
weeks and shows great nervousness.
Physicians among the deputies con-
sequently are watching him closely, as
the opposition is credited with the in
tention of wearing out the premier and
forcing him to abandon the fight.
When he interrupted the session a
few days ago and asked for a rest, as
his voice had failed, DR.. Pinard, noted
specialist, went to the premier and re.
marked: MT. President little rum in
milk, taken frequently, would do you
q lot Of good"
NJ. Poincare. always glad to show his
good English vocabulary, replied:
"That's what Lord Curzon would call
milk punch"
Gratien Candace. deputy from the
rum producing West Indies, who was
standing nearby, spoke up: Eyes, and
can assure you 1t Is good, but let
me tell you it would gain q lot by
cutting out the milk"

The caption sums up the progress of the
work on our new six-story addition as it ap-
peared Saturday evening.
Hundreds of people stop daily to watch the
the foundation, growing and snarling through

For sixty-three years this business has been
laying the foundation of goodwill, upon which
this impressive addition will stand.
And because all through this period people

HIGH CLASS PICTURES AT
THE PYTHIAN THEATRE

People are under the impression
that the better class pictures cannot
be shown in the smaller town theatres
which is altogether wrong. All pic
lures are sold at the present time on
q picture for picture basis, each one
on its merits or box office value. In
the large cities they are sold in blocks
and owing to competitive bidding it
is necessary for the larger theatres,
where competition is keen. to contract
for company's entire years produc-
ton, good or bad, the poor ones must
be played in order to show the big
ones. This condition does not exist
in the smaller towns for the manager
in time learns the trick in buying and
bids only on the subjects be cares TO
show in short he has the "pick Of the
pictures"
The Pythian is now showing only
Saturdays and Sundays and occasion.
ally week days and for what days they
are operating only the best subjects
of all the companies are picked from
and q guaranteed attraction is GER
tainly assured A few Of the subjects
to be shown in the next few months
are Douglas Maclean in "Sunshine
Trail,n Dick Barthelmess in Fury
Mary Carr in "Silver Wings Hol-
brook BIim in "The Bad Man. Con-
stance Talmadge in 'eThe GaIIoping

ected which is Harry Leon wilson's

The Pythian Theatre is one of the
COOLEST buildings in town owing to its
construction and its location between
rick buildings. To add to the COM
ort Of it's patrons there is an exhaust
an which changes the air in the house

uaily got higher and the ditch whars

MINERS LOSE
FIRST TO A.C.M

At last the Miners slipped and the
A. c. M. team with q sOuthpaw by the
name Of Schwartx furnished the ban
ana peel in Tuesdays twilight game.
Salaxer was wild as q March hare
and kept Fischer warming up half the
time. Five hits the scorer gave
against him. Add to this six bases
on balls and an error or two and you
have the story.
His jumps fell for one Of Louie Nor
tons tricky plays or the score would
have been seven to four.
While the average public outside Of
Great Falls admire the machine which
Buck Jones has built up, yet they are
inclined to believe that the Miners
need no help from Pierce and are per-
fectly able to win on their merits
alone.
The game was full Of hair-raising
situations and furnished thrills enough
to delight even the most Iymphatic
fan. Schwartz was an enigma to most
Of the Miners but Marshall had his
number and was responsible with his
two homers for three Of the four runs
gained by the Miners. There seems
to be no chance to head the Miners
but from now on we may look for
Others to take an occasional fall out
of Wilson's pets.
