Nelson and C. w. Morgan, accom-
panied by H. Larsen, president of
the Rawlins Chamber of Commerce,
made an inspection trip to Bags.

airy repairs were ordered to be done
Immediately.
The question of fixing this bridge
permanently will come before the
Board of County Commissioners at

les from the New York Zoo and the
store has had a cage built and has
placed it on the sidewalk in front
Of the store so that the kiddies( az
of Rawlins may see the little monk
eys perform.
These monkeys are still very shy
and have not accustomed themselves
to seeing so many people around
them. In New York they have been
used to a colony all of their very
own and the people cannot get very
close to them. Within the next few
months the monkeys will get used to
their surroundings and when they
do, the kiddies must be warned to
keep their fingers out Of the wire
cage for the teeth and claws Of the
monkeys are very sharp and strong,
and they can give a very painful
wound.
Each day sees a number Of small
children as we'll as a number Of the
grown-ups around the cage. thus
Nelson-Smyth Store has helped
Rawlins to have a miniature zoo for
the kids, and it is a big attraction

plenty of them. j. B. Warner has
gained international. fame as an out

those they love. Two brothers, Jim
and Bud, live with their mother out
Idaho way, in the wilds of the noun
tains. In a brawl Bud shoots a man.
Big Jim takes the blame upon him.

he eventually proves his innocence,
and also wins a beautiful wife, un-
folds one OF the most absorbing
stories ever told on the screen.
Robert North Bradbury, the fam
Gus director, has made Wanted by
the Law" one OF the greatest out
door pictures ever offered the pub
lie.
Wanted by the Law" will stand

Well, here's one. pied Piper Ma
lone" that has a whale OF a cast
a personnel that Lloyds would under
write cheaply and guarantee tremen-
dous success.
First, there is Thomas Meighan, in
the title role. Toms magical draw
ing power and continued growing
success do not need any comment.
You have too often read and count
ed his name In dollars.
Then there is Booth Harrington,
who wrot the story. Paramount was
extremely fortunate in having so
great an author write an original
story especially for n of it's stars.
And, co%nfdentially, there is some
thing of a personal element in this
"a long close friendship between
Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Meighan.
Everyone remembers and loves
Tarkington's "Penrod" stories, his
Clarence" 1.-THE Flirt," alice
Adams" Conquest of Canaan" etc.
Then again, Alfred Green directed
"Pied Piper Malone" AS the title
graphically promises, it is a story
of Tom and a flock of lovable child
rem. No one will soon forget THE
Bachelor Daddy" which Mr.. Green
also directed. lie also mdue OuT
Leading Citizen" Back Home and
Broke" 1.-The Ne'er-Do-Well" and
woman Proof"
And then, Tom Geraghty wrote the
| scenario. Like Harrington, he's
from Indiana-and like Tom Meig-
| han, he's Irish. Also he worked
| with AL Green on Back Home and
| Broke and THE Ne'er-Do-W ell' so
| they make a pretty happy family.
| Mr.. Geraghty also wrote the scenario
| for Hollywood"
Last. but by no means last, the
production! It's a whopper, and
something entirely new. Mr.. Tark-
ington himself picked out the To-
cations around his summer home
near Kennebunkport, Maine. This
is a virgin ground for picture folk
IA snug harbor of healthy, whole
| some children and picturesque sea-
men and fishermen. In this quaint
and historic background, Meighan,
Harrington, Green and Geraghty
| pitched their camp, and, as they all
so enthusiastically promised, have
come along with n of the most
| delightful pictures Of the year.

day and Tuesday, August 4 and 5th.

WHY DON'T THEY?


Only a few years ago automobiles were
purchased almost entirely because of
their appeal to the eye. When you pass
ed a car on the street or the highway and
its lines or possibly it's color appealed to
you, or your fancy was struck by the cars
name, you made a mental resolution to
purchase that a e of car when dis
posing of your present one. Industrial
concerns had not yet taken to account
ing the operating costs and depreciation
of the cars used by their organizations.
This has all been changed to the ad.
vantage of Studebaker. Every industrial
concern OF any consequence now keeps
an audit account of operating, mainten-
ance and depreciation of every car used
IN the conduct of it's business and pur.
chase is made on the result of proven
facts. Because of this Studebaker sales
lave trebled in the past three years.; the
number of Studebakers. sold in 1923 be-
ing about three times the number sold in
1920. Purchasers of family cars and in
dlvldual cars are also demanding proven
facts for performance. %Studebaker has
the ability and does give more value per
dollar thar any car manufactured. This
fact is c%onclusively proven to you by COM
parison and demonstration. Studebaker
makes three lines; all Skies, Light.
Special and Big, each line carrying only
its proportion of all essential items of
overhead expense. Studebaker makes
only fine cars, and through quantity pro-
duction, they keep prices far below prices
of other cars of equal value. Because
you pay $1,000 to $4,000 for an automobile
it is no sign you are getting a good car.
Your greatest assurance is in the name
~"Studebaker," a name that has stood for
quality for u years.

The Great 6ores That Have Been

In the Jura mountains no fewer
than Eve tunnels from two to five
miles in length have recently been
driven. The Pyrenees, the natural
barrier between France and Spain,
have likewise been pierced by sew
eral long tunnels, and the Caucasus
mountains are to be tunneled by a
bora which is TO be not less than
1926 rifles long.
In the Alpine region the Simplon
and Lotschberk tunnels have proved
that length combined with great over.
lying depth Is no longer an insur-
mountable obstacle, and that a high
rate of progress can be attained with
the assistance of modern tunneling
methods, machinery and proper or.
ganization.
In this country several large pro-
jects are now being elaborated, and
1t is but question of few years
before the Rockies and other ranges
will be pierced by long and deeply
OVERLAND tunnels, serving the purpose
of eliminating heavy grades, sharp
curvature and the necessity of reach
ing high attitudes under most adj
verse conditions.
