HAROLD LLOYD
HERE SUNDAY

How does the boy do it," you
hear in awesome and admiring tones
of those who have watched the prog
ress Of Harold Lloyd during the last
three years, each picture setting a
higher standard than the last, until
it seems surely that he has reached
the zenith of comedy production, and
il is not only funnier, but is diff
ferent in type.
Now we have "Why Worry" to not
only laugh at, but to shake our heads
at and marvel over. 1t is Lloyd's
first serious attempt at straight
farce Here are real characters
and entirely probable situations ex-
aggerated to n state of absurdity
that yet remains within the realms
of possibility.
why Worry" is the story of an
American youth, accustomed to lux
ury, who has a flare of adventure in
his makeup. He goes to South Amer
lea and promptly becomes enmeshed
in fierce, fiery flaming revolution.
1t is a story of intrigue and romance
such as Richard Harding Davis would
reyel in, yet containing surprises and
twists such as o. Henry would give
it, and is a decided departure from
previous Lloyd stories.
From the moment Lloyd is intro
dueed being taken aboard ship on a
streteher to the final fade-out, where
he is tying up traffic, why Worry
is one mirthful, hilarious situation
bound up with plot, thereby pro-
dueing staeeato laugh effect
throughout the entire development of
a story that intrigues the interest,
while adding the glow of romance.
Conspicuous among Lloyd's aides
IN why Worry" are Jobyna Ralston
and John Assem-. Jobyna is young,
pretty and spirited. Assem- is an
3 foot . inch giant and is such a
nit We prophecy giants on the screen
will be in demand hereafter. He
takes you back to the days when you
believed in Jack, the Giant Killer.
why Worry is a riot of fun, and
the only thing for you to worry
about is getting into the Rex Theatre
Sunday and Monday.

PUMPING PLANT
BRINGS RESULTS
Ben Clock Reports Big Third
Crop Will Be Cut as Result
of His New Pumping Plant

Ben Clock, who owns a small farm
near Minden, will cut a third crop
of alfalfa this season and he esti-
mates that the yield will exceed one
ton to the acre. This additional ton
mage of hay has been made possible
through the installation of pump
ing plant. Three wells were put
down by the Dangberg company some
years ago when experimental work
in pumping water for irrigation was
carried on. The wells had not been
used for a number of years and when
pumping operations were started by
Mr.. Clock some weeks ago it was
found necessary to shoot the wells
to start the flow of water. A six
inch pump is being used which is op-
Grated by motor taken from an old
automobile. The power plant runs
with very little attention but in or
der to keep steady flow of water,
lit was found necessary to reduce the
suction pipe to the six inch pump to
three inches.
Mr.. Clock is of the opinion that a
greater supply of water could be Sc.
cured by digging a deep trench OF
some length in the old river bed that
passes through his property, and
should a water shortage occur next
season it is the intention of Mr.
Clock to carry on experiments in
pumping surface water for irrigation
The fact that he is to harvest ar
exceptionally heavy third crop this
season, made possible through the
installation of the present pumping
plant, is encouraging to Mr.. Clock.

white men and sheriff hunt for
new louise. Indians now pretty
'fraid of that kind of white
mans louse and go way up down

Most of the Indians have be-
come accustomed to having their
cars and rigs sprayed at the
quarantine stations and their
blankets inspected at the weevil
controls, but Annie is one of the
stay-at-home kind and her recent
outing at Lake Tahoe was mark
ed by series of thrills and lice
of which she had never before
come in contact, and she lost no
time after returning in broad
casting her experiences to her
white friends.

Pine Nut Crop is Failure;
Open Winter Forecasted
by Age-Old Indian Sign

The Washoe Indians are not
much concerned as to whether
Mars is inhabited, but this week
a number of the tribesmen went
up into the Pine Nut hills to
look over the pine nut crop, and
like Mother Hubbard, they found
the trees bare. The crop is an
absolute failure, less pine burs
being on the trees than was ever
before.
Since Jobs Peak was a mere
pimple, the Indians of this sec
tion have forecasted the weather
for the coming winter by the
pine nut crop. Lots of pine nuts
indicated heavy winter; while
a shortage of natures Indian
food was sure sign of little
snow.
If the Indian legend can be
depended upon, then we are fac
ing an open winter and the mere
thought of such after the lack
of moisture of the past season,
will be anything but gratifying

WORK FOR GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
PROPOSED LAWS FOR THIS
LEGISLATURE TO PASS

Masses of proposed legislation
await the General Assembly. One Of
the principal reasons for the large
| volume of work this season, is that
the succeeding Legislature will not
meet until 1877. Trainers of many
bills give this reason in Justification
of measures which otherwise might
await a later date.
A State Prohibition enforcement
bill will be offered. The race track
question also is expected to come up
again. W
Another measure which will be
pressed for passage is designed to
curb the drug evil.
An amendment to the Child Labor
law will be attempted, the purpose
being to effect more rigid enforce
ment of the law and to make appli-
cations of its provisions more uni
| form throughout the State. Organiz-
ed labor will fight to have clauses
permitting strike inllnctions against
unions repealed.
Labor also is expected to ask an
amendment to the EMPLOYERS Lii
ability law so that employerse will
be required to insure their workmen
with the State instead Of with pri-
habilitation bill desigmed Fl restore
disabled workmen, also is expected
to be introduced.
Protection for investors in build
ing and loan associations of the State
is sought in a bill which will be sup
ported by the Maryland Bankers' AS
sociation.
The measure it is understood, will
ask for thorough supervision of such
associations by some State official.
supplemented by requirements for an
accounting to State officials. The
building association section of the
Real Estate Board also has prepared
bills in this connection.
To prevent depletion of the Chesa-
peake oyster beds, interests in the
oyster industry are expected to offer
legislation enlbodying conservation
measures.
The Legislature also is expected to
be asked to authorize q bond issue
so that all roads considered main
arteries to and from Raltin1ore NAV
be widened. The State Road Conn
mission probably will support legis-
lation regulating the parking Of We
hicles along public roads and the
erection of signs along the .ihorough-
fares.

$4,000 VOLTS ON NEW POWER
M TTNE

A new line for the transmission Of
current to the various companies of
the Eastern Power Company will be
begun this week. 1t will be built by
Cne Lancaster Edison Company and
come by the way of Quarryvilie and
klrkwood. 1t will carry two circuits
OF $4,000 volts and most of it will be
over right of way which will be re-
moved from the ordinary highway
menaces. A substation will be put in
at oxford and another at Elkton. The
line to Elkton will be built by the
most direct route from Oxford. This
Will mean that there will be a circuit
through all the four companies of
the Eastern Power Company, and
that the chance of interruption will
be minimized. The connection at Elk
ton, with the lines Of the American
Railways. will give an additional
safeguard against breakdown, while
the present connection at Atglen
Will serve the same purpose.
