POWDER RIVER, U. s.
 WAR FILMS--LYCEUM
Begin Thursday-- "Poisoned Para dise' First Three Days of Week

Lost in a Great City" and "The Valley of Los sauls" for Sunday eyening: "Poistnied Paradise" for the first three days of the week and Powder River" a graphic and offi- cial panorama of the great war, in cluding the battles of Cantigny, the Argonne, St. Mihiel and Chateau Thierry, for the last half of next week is the alluring photoplay bill that the Lyceum is presenting to its patrons.
 Lost in a Great City, is a great old melodrama, replete with more thrilling scenes than have been wit messed on thes creen in long time. The theme has to do with a wealthy Alaskan prospector who returns to the east to seek his relatives who, at the time, are living in squalor in a great city. ''The Valley of Lost Souls" is an exciting drama of mystery and su- perstition and is as good a detective play as one could wish.
 Kenneth Harlan and Clare Bow arc ;oatured in Poisoned Paradise" which is from the story by Robert Service, which exposes the famous gambling resorts of Monte Carlo. The story takes place in Paris and Monte Carlo and there are many beautiful e,xerior scenes Of the Monacan har- Dor taken from the high cliffs over the town. Carmel Myers plays the part of the vampire adventures.
 The Lyceum is busy preparing for the showing Of Powder River" next Thursday, Friday and Saturday and advance notices claim this to be the most genuinely exciting film ever shown the public. These pictures are the only official films of the world war. They are complete records of every division that saw service in France. The camera men were the members of the L. s. signal corps and heir cameras were clicking while the machine guns were rattling and the Big Berthas belched forth death and destruction. But the bloody battle helds are not all that are shown. There will be wonderful views of the ruined art palaces, razed cathedrals and levcled villages. But there is nothing gruesome about Powder River" and no one need feel at all apprehensive about going. a

Whitney School Fund
Bill Was Defeated
Act to Appropriate Funds for
Veterans Encampment in At
lantic City Passed.

Two outstanding achievements
marked the recent activities of Allan
tic County representatives in the Leg
islature at Trenton, one being the de-
feat in the Assembly of the Whitney
school fund bill, which would have
caused a loss of 1852, 900 annually to
this county, and the other the passage
of a measure appropriating $4,000 for
the encampment of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars in Atlantic City.
Sixteen out of the twenty-one
counties in the State would have been
benefited by the Whitney bill chang
ing the method of apportioning the
school monies from the state to the
counties. The bill passed in the Sen
ate, despite the strenuous opposition
of Senator Emerson L. Richards, but
was killed in the Assembly, where it
was opposed by A~ssemblymen Joseph
A. Corio and Anthony ]. Siracusa.
Governor Silzer endeavored to de-
feat the encampment fund bill by fiji
ing it with the State Librarian as be-
ing dead, taking advantage of a tech
n~icality offered by the fact that at the
end of the fiye-day period, the House
wis o in session and.bs. could send
