Ingram used a number Of Arabs in
small parts, and the Sheik who had
charge of them was allowed 20
francs a day for each player. He, in

RAWLINS LOST
TO R ID
LAST SUNDAY

The big game Of the season was
played last Sunday afternoon at the
Parco baseball grounds between the
Rawlins team and the Parco Oil
Cans with Rawlins at the small end
OF the score when the game ended.
Because OF the intense rivalry of the
two teams the game was hard
fought to the very end, but in
terspersed through the nine innings
both sides were given to grabbing
and pickering with the result that
the game was long and drawn out.
The wind and dust were blowing
quite badly making II hard for the
players to play and the spectators to
see.
The Oil Cans started out by max
ing three runs in the hrst inning
and Rawlins scored one run in the
second inning. In the fourth inning
Parco made four runs and In the
NTH Rawlins made hvs corr and
Parco three. this brought the o
up to 8 to 10 in Parco's favor. In
the sixth inning RAwlins made three
more runs making the score . to
10 still in favor Of Parco. In the
seventh and eighth innings Parco
made four more runs making the
final score II to . In the OIL Cans
favor.
It has been hard for the Rawlins
and Parco fans to realize that the
best umpires VI can get in this Sec
ton of the country are amateurs and
keeping this In mind the two teams
as we'll as the two roofing sections
should abide by the decisions. OF
course roofing Ia a part Of the game
and the umpire can expect a certain
amount Of razzing.

United States Report
Boston Wool Market

WASHINGTON, JULY IS. The
days activities in the Boston wool
market have been reported to the
Department of Agriculture as fol-
lows:
THE wool market continues to be
active in about all lines of domestic
woods, both fleece and territory. A
fairly good volume of stock is NOV
ing from the market direct to the
mills. One lot of ~ months Texas
comprising 100000 pounds, has
moved to the mills at 81 cents in
the grease, which would be about
$1.33 per secured pound based ON a
shrinkage OF 61 per cent.
"Delaine woods have advanced
about l cent per pound in the grease
in the medium and finer grades.
Some short clothing wool has ad-
vanced slightly more. Delaines of
the Ohio group. which were selling
a few days back for So to SO cents,
have moved in some volume at "a
per pound. grease basis. Halfblood
combing. has also moved in some
volume at As, and fine clothing at AZ
per pound, grease basis. Half-brood
combing, which sold a few days back
at SO per pound, grease basis. has
moved this week at 81 in some vol
ume. HalfbloOd clothing has been
taken on the market at 45 to 46
per pound In the grease. Three
eighths blood combing. at the same
group, has been taken at 40, and
clothing at ~. In most instances
these sales were for the better class
of woods.
A small amount of somewhat aver
age woods is still available at .
slightly lower figure. Some Of the
larger houses say that the recent ac-
tivity in domestic woods is accounted
for in part by the fact that these
lines are selling about on free
wool basis. Much OF the trading
seems to be In anticipation of an in
creased business in lightweights.
The individual manufacturers do not
gel to be buying in extremely large
amount on this basis"

Christine johnson was born Novem-
and came to the United States in
1899. Shortly after coming to this
country she came to Rawlins where
she remained and made many last
ing and true friends, and the love OF
these friends followed her when she
moved to Los Angeles in 1919. She

this lodge marched in front of the
hearse to the Methodist church
where the funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. w. ]. Law, and
special music was rendered by the
Methodist choir. The church was
filled with many, many friends and
neighbors to pay their silent re-
spects to the loving friend, wife and
sister who had been in their midst
only such a short time before. The
pail bearers were: John Larsen,
Robert Peterson, John Engstrom,
Frank Hall, Frank Froling and Emil
Nordlund. The remains were in

Elinor Gyms Book
Faithfully Followed
In Screen Version

Elinor Glyn has long been one of
the most popular novelists writing
in English. OF recent years her
popularity has been greatly increas-
ed by her incursion into motion pic
lures. "Six Days, the original mo-
ton picture scenario, which she wrote
for Goldwyn, was n of the most
successful productions Of the season.
At the time that film was being
made, Goldwyn Pictures Corporation
concluded an arrangement with her
by which her most famous novel,
Three Weeks" was to be picturized
by them. The contract called for
her presence at the studio while the
picture was being made to assist Alan
Grassland in directing it. The result
was one of the most enthralling of
romantic love stories which the films
have cen 1t will be the attraction
at the Strand Theatre, for two days
beginning July %.
The continuity al prepared by
Carey Wilson, an associate editor on
Goldwyn's scenario staff. from Mrs.
Gyms OWE scenario, and is faithful
to the original story, which leaped
into instant popularity upon its pub
lication. fifteen years ago. The nov
Ell has had a continuously steady sale
ever since. and has made Elinor
Gyms name a household word not
alone in English speaking countries.
but throughout the world.
Alan Crosland was selected by
Goldwyn officials to direct the film
ing o f"Three Weeks" because of his
remarkable success in creating on the
screen the romantic atmosphere de-
manded by this novel. Two of his
greatest previous achievements we're
the filming of Blasco Ibanez's "Ene-
mics of Women" and Stanley Wey-
mans romantic tale of ancient
France, Under the Red Robe" for
Cosmopolitan.
The "Three Weeks" settings we're
designed by Cedric Gibbons, art di-
rector at the Goldwyn studios, and
are a radical departure from the us
ual motion picture sets. He has elm
mated all detail in design, simplify
ing them as much as possible, giving
just enough detail to suggest the
mood wished for. Where art direct
ors in the past have filled their sets
with palms, jardinieres, brass beds,
and many other articles of furniture
to denote wealth or luxury in their
big scenes, Mr.. Gibbons has done
away with all these cluttering objects
and gives just a suggestion of lux
ury AS a result, the Three Weeks"
settings are most unusual and artis-
tic. They give the Imagination Just
enough to work upon, at the same
time leaving it free to follow the dra-
matte and sensational story.
