When Booth Harrington wrote
"Penrod and Sam" the fates were
kind. Out in Hollywood there was
a director, William Beaudine. who
had achieved fame as director of
kid pictures. So great was his re-
nown in this respect that he was
called upon to direct the kid Sc

made.
"Penrod and Sam" opened yester-
day at the Opera House as a First

and we were conquered by Messrs.
Harrington and Beaudine, and by
the juvenile members of the cast. AS
a result we have added more names

"Three Ages" Three Times az Funny
and as Big as His Old Successes


The, first feature length comedy
Three Ages" to be made with Bus
ter Keaton as the star, is the best
work of this ingenious young
comedian. Three Ages" now play
ing at the Colonial theatre, is rcpfete
with laughs and thrills and estab-
fishes Keaton permanently in big
full length feature comedies.
In Three Ages" Buster springs
with agility from side splitting ex-
position Of life as it was in the cave
man era to an hilarious explanation
of life as it was in the brilliant reign
of triumphant Rome. From Rome
he carries us forward to our own age
where he enjoys himself in q keen
satire Of the modern world never
losing sight, however. of the hui
morous. the pathetic, the uproarious
touches with which modern life is
full.
Three Ages" has a cast of more
than two thousand people in several
of the massive scenes staged in q
duplication of the age-old Colosseum
in Rome. This Colosseum set Is said
to have cost huge sum and is the
largest set ever constructed for a
motion picture comedy. With Bus
ter Keaton in the cast is also Mar

Wallace Berry, as the inevitable viii
lain. There are also Joe Roberts,

II am Republican seeking the

and unreservedly accept the respcn-

party made to the people in the plat
form adopted at Wenatchee.
"My private life and official career
are a guarantee that will insist upon
law enforcement.
II stand for better service at less
cost During the past three years we
have learned how. We have brought
order out of chaos, reduced the num-
Der of state employees, cut the tax
levy, turned treasury deficit into
cash balance and made it easier for
the public to do business with the
state. AS Director of Agriculture I'M
der the administrative code, I have
gained the knowledge and experience
that justify my pledge of further eco
Monies and greater efficiency.

bear his share of the cost of govern
nncnt economically administered so
that the burdens of the rest of the
peonie may be 1gEtened.

Permanent prosperity in our state
is impossible without Improvement in
rural conditions. I am a farmer and
know the state must assist the far

their roads and educate their chill
dren. For the perpetuation of our
lumber industry I favor immediate
adoption of an effective reforestation
policy under state-not national
control.
During the twelve years of legis

We'll MAKES PATRIOTIC a
ADDRESS AT PORT ANGELES

Fred M. We'll, colonization agent
for the state land settlement project
was the orator of the day at the
Fourth of July celebration in Port
Angeles this year, and the Evening
News of that city, in its issue of
July 5th, had the following to say of
the address:
"American citizenry is a product
to great extent of a great melting
pot, but my friends, when ingredients
are Jumped into this great pot that
cannot be assimilated, a dross is
formed and the great melting process
Of turning out loyal Americans is
clogged" was one of the high lights
of the Fourth of July Grafton, de-
livered by Fred We'll, colonization
agent for the American Legion, this
morning before big crowd.
Mr.. We'll said that the remedy for
this dross was to close the gates OF
immigration, take stock, educate those
foreigners who seek to become good
citizens and take steps to deal with
those who have no intentions of be-
coming Americans and who have
brought their Old World hatreds and
prcjudices with them.
UndeI the head of Service" Mr..
We'll advocated general attention Of
the people to government and said:
eff good men do not hold Office bad
men will"
The speaker favored the Japanese
exclusion act as he said that the
Asiatic race could not be assimi1ated
but asked for good treatment to those
already here as it is our fault they
were here.
The speech of Mr.. Wells was an
ideal Fourth of July one, full of
good sentiment and was very well
received.

On above date the noted rupture
appliance expert, c. F. Redlich, will
give free demonstration.
You will at once realize the differ
erce between his highly efficient and
modern appliances and your mail or
der inefficient and harmful elastic
bandages or ill fitting steel or wire
trusses with their obnoxious leg straps.
These mostly make the rupture worse
instead of better until at last it gets
beyond control, whereas Mr.. Redlich's
special appliances will give you secur-
ity and comfort for years to come,
mainly because these effective devices
ar scientifically applied by an expert
in person.
Recent, often durable cases and es-
pecially old, neglected, painful ones,
should promptly avail themselves of
this opportunity for relief, before work
becomes impossible and eventually the
surgeons knife an urgent and ir1me-
date necessity.
Remember that demonstration is
free on above date only, and that a
visit may mean a great deal to you
and those dependent OH you.
