A AMERICAN LEGION TO
PUT ON BIG PICTURE
NOVEMBER 25-26

The American LEGION post of
Grangeville has made arrangements
with the Lyric Theatre of this city
TO put ON a super-play THE Spirit of
the L. S. A." ON Tuesday and We'd
nesday, Nov. 25-26.
While this is not war picture in
any sense of the word, it will bring
home to you some of the trials and
hardships our boys underwent "ov-
er there"
Every man, woman and child in
and around Grangeville should make
plans to attend this Super-play-no
only because the 'boys" have taken
this means to raise little money for
their depleted treasury, but for your
own benefit as well.
Except the bare cost of the produc-
ton the proceeds will go to the local
American Legion post. Let's ALL go.
Following is a short description of
the play:
Emory Johnson, creator of such
memorable photoplays as In the
Name of the Law" 'The Third A
larm." and "Westbound LIMITED
adds further laurels to his record
with "The Spirit of the U. S. AZ 1t
deals in terms of powerful, human
drama with phase of American
life with which most of us are famil-
iar-that period of stress and turmoil
Just previous to Americas entrance
into the Great War and thereafter,
when our gallant doughboys were
fighting the battle of civilization in
the shambles overseas.
While "The Spirit of the Z. S. A."
projects a stupendous argument for
world peace and better understand
ing between all peoples, it is in no
sense propaganda. So keen show
man as Emory Johnson would not
make the mistake of permitting the
argumentative elements of his photo
play to overshad0w the sheer enter
tainment values which lie in power
full dramatic situations, homely phil
osophy and kindly sentiment, not for
getting humor and broad comedy
when occasion demands.
The war scenes are particularly
vivid and form canvas OF stupen-
dous magnitude against which the
producer has painted in swift and
masterful strokes his deeply moving
human story.
"The Spirit of the U. $. A." is
not a war picture, although several
phases of two of the greatest battles
of the World War are shown in
stirring and magnificent array.

THE UNION MEETINGS

The Union Meetings Started IN
good earnest last Sunday evening in
the odd Fellows Hall. Despite the
nine inches of snow an excellent at
tendance encouraged the promoters
of the meetings. Hearty singing OF
good old Gospel songs reminded one
of the old days. A new one was in
troduced by the song leader. Rev. Il.
Barber. "The Gospel Bells which

CABINET TO Be
MADE OVER BY
PRESIDENT I
Work and Weeks Likely to
Retire; Wilbur May Be Civ
en- Federal Judgeship; But
ler May Be Offered Pos
tai Post.

Washington-Sev changes In
the cabinet by next spring are look
ed for i'm Washington as q result of
reports thar some members intend TO
retire to private life for personal
reasons and belief that President
Coolidge after March A. will prefer
cabinet eurilely of his own selection.
Upon assuming the presidency af-
ter -the dca-h of President Harding,
Mr.. Coolidge requested all members
of the cabinet not TO submit their
designations. While he has made no
such request with the approach of
term of four years TO which he has
been elected bv the vote OF the peo-
pie, he has neither asked for nor re-
ceived in any way designations of the
present cabinet.
1t is expected that he will urge
successfully several members of the
present cabinet to continue in office
after his Inauguration in March. Al
though Secretary Hughes is -under-
stood to have Indicated to friends
that he would prefer for private
reasons to return to the practice of
law. it is the general view that the
secretary of state will continue at his
post for a year, if not longer, while
Secretaries Mellon and Hoover as
well as Attorney General Stone are
regarded as fixtures.
Work May Retire
On the other hand, Hubert Work,
secretary of the interior, has inti-
mated to friends he wishes to retire.
Mrs Work recently died and he is
known IN have felt the shock very
severely.
While Secretary Weeks is close to
the administration and regarded as
the man for the office, friends re-
port. that he, too, because of i'll
health and for personal reasons
would like to step out of official life.
There are also persistent reports
that Secretary Wilbur is being con-
sidered for federal judgship in
California. He came from the bench
to head the navy department but is
one of the two members of the pres
ent cabinet selected by Mr.. Coolidge.
The postoffice department portfolio
long regarded as an office for the
presidents campaign manager, is
mentioned as post that may be of
fered to William NJ. Butler, chairman
of the Republican national committee.
At present, however Mr. Coolidge
is centering his attention on the
vacant post Of secretary of agricui-
ture. Some believe it probable he
will retain Howard NJ. Gore, acting
secretary, IN that office until March
4. when the latter win become gov
ernor of West Virginia.

inal of the bandit gang of four men

after short chase
Thurston was removed from the
st. Maries hospital to the Nez Perce
county Jail Lewiston officers, ques-
tioning Thurston. were told by him
that he swan the Clearwater river
the night of the robbery, walked to
Uniontown, caught train to Spokane
and then worked his way into Canada.
Safe in the Lewiston jail, Thurston
denied that he was the one who fired
the shot that took Harris life and
lauded the man for his bravery in the
gun fight that followed the robbery.
He states that he had stolen car in
Washington and was headed toward
California when caught
He had been wounded in the Lew
iston Orchards shooting, in the hand
and in the back by bird shot, but the
wounds had not bothered him enough
to be considered serious.
Hard Luck Story
His story, as told to a reporter, is
one of a hard luck nature, that ne
was raised as an orphan and had be-
come associated with bad company
and as he termed himself, "a victim
of fate" The bandit has a smooth
appearance, is clever talker. and
appears to be well educated. He is
an ex-convict.

Lewis and Nez Perce county officers

Canada and then returning Tney
are not able to locate the money that
he is supposed to have hidden ana
the cache he told them 1t was placed

OFFICIAL COUNT
WILL DECIDE

Official canvass of votes cast in
the general election of Nov. 4. which
may be a deciding factor in three of
the races for county offices, will
commence Friday, November IA, by
the board of county commissioners.
The board acts as official canvas
sers, and the counting of totals from
precincts will consume only one day,
it is estimated
Because it was not possible TO get
the returns from Kamiah and Flor
,ence precincts after election day, the
figures from these two precincts are
not known, nor do the election judges
have any recollection of who was
highest in the count. No returns
have been received from Marshall
Lake precinct. 1t too, may have held
an election.
The official counting on Friday
will decide the close contest for
sheriff, in which H. Rothwell and w.
II. Eller are separated by only few
votes, with Rothwell in the favored
position
For Probate Judge, Wilbur L.
Campbell has the edge on ]. Z. By
rom by slight margin, so close in
fact that neither is sure of election.
The same applies to the contest for
county commissioner of the second
district, where the count of each is
nearer a tie than the other close
races. H. Floyd Church and Adolph
Hinlleman, the two contestants each
received a large vote, but the win
ner will not be determined until the
count by the commissioners is COM
pleted.
Meanwhile, the neck and neck can
didates and the voters of the county
are awaiting the official count with
interest second to none.
