D OUbLE BILL
ON ROYAL
PROGRAM

The double attraction bill opened
Saturday at the Royal and got away
to an instant hit, for both the screen
and stage features are excellent, feat
uring Tom Mix in "The Rainbow
Trail" on the screen and Bob Greer
and his company in "The Bride Shop"
on the stage.
"The Rainbow Trail" is Mix's
latest. 1t is a typical Zane Grey pic
ture and comes as a sequel to Riders
Of the Purple Sage" one of Mix's
most successful pictures. 1t is filled
with action and has n love story in
which Tony, the wonder horse, seems
as much interested as does Mix him
self.
"The Bride Shop" the title Of the
musical revue staged by the fun
makers and chorus in support of Bob
Greer, is farce laid in a modiste shop
where the bride makes her selection
of pretties for her trousseau. Much
comedy is worked into the plot and
many novelty specialties have been in
troduced by producer Al Phillips who
has been presenting Royal patrons
with some Of the peppicst entertain
ment seen on the Royal boards this
season.
The Royal Four" is still proving
one Of the popular hits of the Greer
shows.

JUST ONE DRINK
OPENED WAY FOR
VATICAPS LOOT

ROME, Aug. 29.--St. Peters was
robbed of priceless relics because a
guard took a drink proffered by two
"workmen" laboring there.
The "workmen" were thieves, the
drink had been doctored, and the guard
passed out.
This was disclosed by the police to-
day in announcing that all of the jew
els stolen from the edifice had been
recovered. Ten men accused Of COM
plicity in the theft are under arrest.
The police today expressed belief that
the footing of the treasury of st. Pc
ter's was organized by one Stella,
shoemaker, and a shopkeepcr named
GRAHAM. They learned that these men
had been looking for a prospective buy
er of jewels for a fortnight preceding
the robbery.

SPEEDY MOVIE
ON EMPIRE
PROGRAM
"Lucl- Devil" Is Snappy
Racing Yarn Of Wally
Reid Type.

There's a speedy movie on at the
/ Empire this week. 1t is "The Lucky
Devil" snappy racing yarn of the
Wally Reid type featuring Richard
Dix who seems to be the logical success
sor to the famous star At any rate
Paramount has "shot the works" in
this one by giving Dix the finest sup
port possible, besides having Byron
Morgan, write the story. Morgan
wrote most of Reds biggest successes.
"The Lucky Devil" is all about a
lucky young fellow whose lucky breaks
seem to be evenly divided with his
unlucky streaks. He no more than
connects" with good break when
some. unfortunate happening takes the
joy out of life.
The story opens with Dix as a dem
onstrator Of camping outfits in a
sporting goods store. He Graves the
open road. wants speedster, lots of
money and plenty of time to roam.
His boss accommodates him with the
time, for he fires him. Then Dix gets
lucky and wins a beautiful racing car,
all cut down and full of unlucky num-
hers.
As natural sequence, Dix enters n
great road race. There is a $4,000
prize posted and all he needs to get
out of his old troubles and probably
into lot of new ones, since he wants
the $4,000 to set up housekeeping, is
to win the money. Then begins the
most thrilling road race that has been
screened in long time. And let it be
said, to the credit Of the husky star,
that every mile OF the race was run by
Dix who scorncd double" There
are numerous wrecks and near wrecks,
but We have the assurance of the pro-
ducer that no one was seriously hurt
IN the filming of the race sequences.
For laughs the Empire also offers
Lloyd Hamilton in Waiting" in which
the comedian is seen as a waiter in a
restaurant.

WOMAN DEFEATS z
WOULD-BE BANDITS

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-"You can't be
a tiger woman at SO and put up a
hand-to.hnnd fight with two 25-yosr-
old bandits !"
Somewhat sadly, Mrs. Josephine
Chandler came to this conclusion after
she had attempted in vain to battle
off two young "sneiks" who had in
yaded the home which she keeps for
Peter Clostergard, West Side con-
tractor.
The robbers, who had sneaked into
the place, tried TO bind the housekeep-
er, but despite the fact she is a very
small woman, were unable to do so.
They did succeed, however, in forcing
her to n couch, after they had cut and
bruised her face.
While she lay there, semi-conscious,
for nearly an hour, the bandit pair
ransacked the house and took two
valuable watches and 500 in cash.
Disillusioned but still game, Mrs.
Chandler is under a doctors care.

u. S. MAY STORE HELIUM
IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
New Law Makes Provision for
Development of Transatlantic
Air Liners.

The Bureau of Mines, under an act
passed late in the last Congress, will
take over from the Navy about July
l the production of helium, the gas
used in initiating the giant dirigibles
Los Angeles and Shenandoah. This
transfer is not expected by DR.. S. c.
Lind, chief chemist of the bureau, to
involve any marked change in policy
No appreciable quantity of helium
is being exported now. and the new
law provides that export applications
, must be made to the Secretary of the
Interior and permission obtained from
the President on the Joint recon-
mendation of the Secretaries of War
Navy and Interior. This provision
was put into the law to permit future
American transoceanic air lines to
have a supply of helium on hand al
their foreign terminals.
Officials of the bureau are careful
TO point out that the new bar against
helium expectation will not initiate
against foreign scientists who desir .
a small quantity of the gas for their
laboratories.

More Fruit Blossoms

Since the matter of fruit tree blooms
was mentioned in this paper last week,
we have received reports from all sec
tions of the county reporting new
blooms and even new leaves.
w. ID, Richardson, hill farmer liv-
ing near town, brought in to this Office,
an apple twig in full bloom. There
were dozens of blossoms on the twig
which sent forth the same fragrance
that bona fide spring blossoms have.
j. w. Knots of Brockett reports a
pear tree in full bloom on the McllrOy
place, two miles north of town. Mr..
Knots explains the phenomenon by
saying that the drouth drove the sap
from the trees into the ground and the
recent rains have brought it forth
again, promoting new life in the trees.
He said that in cleaning off grave
yard in July, quantity of green limbs
and shrubs were cut and piled on the
ground. When kindled with handful
of paper the green stuff blazed up and
burned away as quickly as if it had
been dried and seasoned for months.
Sam Songer, who lives near limbo
den, reports all sorts of plant life put
ting on new bloom and states that the
second crop of mulberries is on the
trees in that section.
In the woods a few days ago, this
writer saw Red Haw trees with new
leaves as large as a dime.
New life is apparent in cotton stalks
and If there is not too much rain or
cold weather, there will be a lot of
high grade cotton taken from bolls
which are not yet open.
On account Of the Second crop" of
blooms this year, most everybody pre-
diets short fruit and mast yield next
year.

twenty-five or thirty years, will be

insurance agencies, as well as the com
panies are urging everybody to make
a close inspection of their flues before
it is too late A majority Of home
fires are the result of defective flues
and chimneys. The agencies are also
calling attention to the danger of grass
fires which follow after frost has kill
ed the grass and it has become dry.

LINE UP! CHRIST
OR ANTI-CHRIST

Good Morning Mr.. Editor: | see in
your issue of Sept. 10, 1925, an article
in which the writer reaches his climax
in one question: "What is it in man
that Thinks?" and stakes his all on
two words, physical and "Metaphysi-
cal"
BY investigation we are driven to
the belief that the writer is laying
himself on the altar of criticism in de-
tense of the Book (Bible). This step
we believe commendable in any citizen.
Yea, a sacred duty.
With Mr.. Contributor, l want to
shake hands and say, Line up for
Christ"
Now, the question we attempt to dis
cuss is the "Origin of Man" Did God
make man as per the account of ere
alton in Genesis, or are claims of the
evolutionists to be accepted? Did God
make a man or did He make single
cell, that in course of a million or per-
haps minions of years developed, into
a man? To me the two are diametri-
cal (or in the extreme opposed the
one to the other.)
Who are the witnesses in these prem
ises? What court of competent juris-
diction would think of accepting evil
dence Of witnesses who were not pres
ent at the time and place Of the occur
renee? God, who was present at the
making of man, has right to be
heard. But what about men who live
hundreds or, as they themselves put it,
thousands of centuries after the thing
(malIing of mani occurred? As to
these two claims, there is no agree
ment. They are irrecOncilable.
Not any wonder the God of Heaven
called science false. Man is triune !!
(body, spirit and SOUL.
We will now consider MAN in these
parts, in origin, purpose and destiny.
The body made of clay and there
fore material; and all things having
life moving in cycles. The life in man
must and does depart from the body

ATTENDANCE LIGHT
AT SINGERS MEETING

The fourth quarterly convention of
the Randolph County Singers Associ-
alton was held at the court house in
Pocahontas last Sunday. On account
of the unfavorable weather and bad
roads the crowd from the county was
small, there being only two out-of-
town classes represented at the meet
ing-Little Springs and Lane School
House.
The convention was opened prompt
ly at one o'clock, p. m, by John ID.
Campbell, president Of the association.
The invocation was offered by Rev. S.
ID. Poe of LOrine. This was followed
by the address of welcome by Atty f.
Newton Ellis and the response was de-
livered by A. ]. Porter. Several lead
ers, in and out of town, were present
and some time was spent in general
singing by the entire audience, with
Mrs. II. L. ,Throgmorton at the piano.
Several choruses and special num-
bers, quartettes, etc, were rendered
by the Lane and Little Springs classes.
This was the last meeting for this
year. The first meeting for next year
will be held probably in April, the
place and exact date to be announced

Barn Is Burned

A big barn belonging to j. t. Thomp-
son, located in the rear Of his home
here, burned about four o'clock last
Thursday morning. The building was
valued at $1,000 and contained about
$3.50 worth of hog powder. No feed
or harness was stored in the barn
Insurance amounted to $500.
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated. Williston Bates had driven away
a short time before with his team and
wagon, which had spent the night in
the barn, but said he was certain that
he had thoroughly extinguished every
match he struck while harnessing the
team.
