Cut Out MoOnshine

We heard a citizen say the other
dov that some Of the business men
we're suffering financially in their
legitimate businesses on account Of
tbe village officers doing their duty
and forbidddng the moon (to) shine in
clenns Ferry. We are not so sure
tbot the business men in question
arc in accord with this idea, but we
do know that very few cases of moon
shine stroke have been reported
1otelv and that anyone suffering
fron this malady has stayed very
close to home when the symptoms
we're at their worst, and that If, as
stated By the same party, that GER

officers enforcing the law (which we
believe is about as true as the first
assertion), then they are welcome

contained a report of the Community

the biggest event of the holidays and
was attended by at least 1000 chiN-

WESLEY BARRY
STEALS OUR STUFF

Whadda yuh think about Chris
Hendricks putting on a picture at
the Weaver Theatre this week which
is calculated to show up the inside
workings Of well conducted office
like the Republican, And he also has
the nerve to bill the Republicans ap-
prentice as a eo-star with Freekles.
The play is 1.-THE Printers Devil"
and is said to be the best one that
Freckles has ever made. It will draw
crowded houses on Thursday and Fri
day Of this week. The sub-feature
is the Imperial comedy "a Monkey
Mixup."
For Saturday the feature is John
Gilbert in "Calvert's Valley" It Is
fine production, featuring great
star. and is supplemented by Pathe
News and a good comedy.
Sunday, Jan. 6, the great produc-
ton. "The Prisoner" with Herbert
Rawlinson interpreting the title role.
1t is said that no bitter picture has
been filmed in w years. and will
be enjoyed. AlsI a scenic and comedy.
On Tuesday and Wednesday Of
next week the wonderful Selzh ~,
special, MANS Law and Gods" wit
be the drawing card There may be
some who will think that the theme
Of this picture is trifle frank, but
it's artistry is it's excuse. It tells a
story Of life as we find it, and should
be seen by all A Sunshine comedy
is the added attraction.

FEDERAL MEN
RAID HOUSES

Prohibition enforcement officers
from Boise visited Mountain Home
the early part Of the week and raided
two places in the city. A search Of
Agapito's rooming house failed to
bring to light anything Of contra
band nature, but at another place a
small bottle containing something
which the officers suspicioned to CON
tain more than u Of per cent
cheer was taken for analysis.

FERRY WRITER'S
ARE CALUMNIzED

The Republican was informed by
several Glenns Ferry people last
week that it's two correspondents
IN that city had got away with too
much Christmas cheer ahead Of
schedule, hence the absence of the
usual news items from that railroad
center Upon making diligent in
.aniry. however, we discovered that
this report was all wrong. One OF
them was some place in Utah cele-
brating the dedication Of Bhuddist
synagogde. while the other took his
fanny home TO his wife's folks for
aSe Eies Of square meals. Both are

before Christmas.
The committee in charge met with
much demonstration Of community
spirit and wish to thank everyone
who aided in this undertaking.
Financially it was indeed an un-
aertaking. since the word had gone
cut that there would be no soliciting

Washington, Dec. 27-"Cpon each
mile of highway a flock of fiivvers
pass as men step off the brass rail
and step upon the gas" writes Wayne
b. Wheeler, general counsel Of the.
Anti Saloon League, IN a prose poem
mailed by him and wishing the recip-
tents merry Christmas and happy
New Year. The poem Is devoted to
the success OF prohibition. It IL as
follows:
"one day when I was weary and
not thing went right, a gutter,
sad and dreary, urged me to leave the
night. He painted me q picture of
rest and ease, where vets would
never tease. It might have seemed
quite tempting. IL he hadn't made
me smile, when he asked the foolish
question: DO you think It worth
while" For I see folks by millions
now saved from whiskey's curse, and
sttll another million snatched from
the open hearse. ] see the prisons
emptied. the homes content has filled.

A letter from Mr.. Rupert Hughes.
Dear NJ. Griffith:
Your picture of America" has
shaken me up and stirred me SO
deeply in so many ways that l must
express my profound homage.
You have combined so many arts
so greatly that your generalship Is
as amazing as your infinite success
with detail of every sort.
There were so many thrills, heart
breaks and triumphs that it is
ridiculous to praise any one thing.
But the whole sequence in which the
dead body of the son is brought to
the bedside of the wounded father
by that divine deceiver. the daugh-
ter, overwhelmed me as one of the
greatest achievements ever attained
by any of the arts from Greek ira
gedy on.
The extraordinary tangled skein of
Miss Dempster's acting. with every
thread sincere and distinct and I'M
like anybody else, also quite con-
quered me.
Yours very respectfully,
(Signed) RUPERT HUGHES
Mr.. Edwin Wothen, president of the
Lexington Historical Society. says:
I'm the magnitude of your task-in
making "America" you ever have
held to historic accuracy with re-
narkable fidelity.
Lexington salutes YOU. God
speed you in this glorious work of
telling the story of the sacrifices of
your forefathers. and in your pa
triotic mission of teaching a higher
and a finer AmericaniSm,"

BROCKTON HAD
LEAN SHOE YEAR

Brockton, Dec. 2I-Brockton has
passed through the leanest year. as
regards the shoe industry, in a quar-
ter OF century. The output of shoes
fo- the year ending this noon was
1873 cases less than in 1923. or n
financial loss of $9,227,4SO. The total

5G3.444 cases. having a market value
Of $76,064.940. The value of shoes

sS5.292,4S0. The number Of pairs Of
shoes made in Brockton was 1906
100. as compared with 15,230,s00 in
1923.
While the year 1924 was a dissap-
pointing one and tough one for the
shoe workers to pass through, the
manufacturers take an optimistic
view Of 1925. They feel that every
thing indicates a revival Of business
and that the early weeks Of the COM
ing year will see increased orders
placed by western and southern buy

Brigade. and their friends at the Au-
Eusta City hall on Wednesday eve
ming. Jan. :, is practically ready for
presentation.
Under the personal direction Of
Harry f. Farnham, this minstrel
show has taken a form that will
make 1t n real sensation in amateur
productions. Novelties of numerous
kinds have been introduced. 1t will be
no mere minstrel show, but a produce
ton that is full of life. pep and fun.
Farnham has seen to that. There
will be two hours Of the snappiest.
busiest, most enjoyable entertain
ment Augusta folks have seen in n
long while. The fact that the tickets
are being sold under n guarantee of
money back If not satisfied" speaks
pretty well Of the production. These
tickets are now selling and so great
is the demand for them that already
nearly 400 have been purchased. But
it is going to be such an expensive
production that those sponsoring it
want at least thousand tickets sold
so that Il natty sum may he netted
for the company fund.--Ady.
