PROGRAM OF PICTURES
AT EMPIRE NEXT WEEK
"The Wanters," cage Of Desire, u
And "Western Wallop" On
Bill AT Local Theatre

From serving maid in home OF
wealth of riches and high social pc.
sition is the big jump that Marie
Provost as Myra Hastings makes ir
her latest screen vehicle, "The Wan.
ters," the First National picture to be
presented at the Empire Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday.
In addition to Marie Provost, the
brilliant cast includes Robert Ellis
Norma Shearer, Gertrude Astor
Huntley Gordon, Richard Headrick
Lincoln Stedman, Lillian Langdon
and Louise Fazenda.
The production, which takes fling
at snobbishness and vain wanting, is
described as one of the most unusual
Of the season.
"The Age of Desire" a First Ma
tional picture produced by Frank
Borzage and which is coming soon to
the Empire Theatre next Wednesday
and Thursday, is the tale of a woman
who followed the elusive mirage of
happiness, sacrificing her baby son
in her craving for luxury and the hap
piness which she believed would &C.
company it.
Jack Hoxie, Universal star of West
ern film dramas will be seen on Fri
day and Saturday, in "The Western
Wallop," a thrilling story of the cattle
country close to the border dividing
California from Nevada, with the
Scout, and his horse. The border line
becomes important by reason of the
fact that Hoxie has the part of a man
paroled from the penitentiary, who
promises not to cross the State line.

Fire At Home OF w. T.
Belote Destroys Chickens

At an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing of this week, the town was arous-
eG by the fire siren at the plant of the
Electric and Ice Manufacturing Com
Iany.
Many heads were extended out OF
windows to look for reflected flames
but when none were seen, people went
back to bed, many thinking it was an
out-of-town call.
But the fire proved to be at the
home of w. T. Belote, near the POGO
moke Fair Grounds, and the blaze
was confined to chicken house which
had caught fire, so it is supposed
from an incubator inside. The house
was totally destroyed, many chickens
being cooked.
The fire department responded
promptly with all their apparatus
but could use only the chemical en-
CINE, which did good work.

Meanderings Of A Mildly
Militant Mind.
Watches and Wisdom.

The Rotary Club, in it's commend
able effort to stimulate love of right
eousness and foster the spirit of I'M
selfish service, by awarding a gold
watch to the High School boy whose
conduct manifests a mastery Of their
code of ethics, extends encouragement
to the youth of it's own sex only.
To ignore the existence of High
School girls and arrogate to High
School boys, exclusively, the power
of elevating the standards of society
is, I venture to assert, not the part
of wisdom.
Every word of the Rotary Club
High School Code of Ethics, is as ap-
plicable to girls as it is to boys, for
there is no logic strong enough to
sustain the assumption that humani-
tvs elevation rests entirely in the
hands of the male members of So
ciety.
The community, the state, the ma
ticn, the universe, claims the service
of both sexes. The weight of respon-
sibility is equally balanced between
them, and no usurpation of place nor
Of privilege can change it.
Why put premium on the boys
effort and ignore the girls? One is
worth as much as the other.
Since, however, the Rotary Club
lends the benefit of it's inspirational
effort to the boys alone, I suggest
that each High School girl clip that
Code from the Meteor" mount it on
card board, and place it where she
can read it often. 1t is full of good
thoughts. And girls can translate
them into living principles as effect
ually as boys.
Being honorable, energetic, loyal,
unselfish, courageos and kind, brings
its own reward, a reward boys and
girls, men and women, share on the
same terms. For what we are counts
more than what We have; and what
we earn by upright, conscientious
living has no computable value-it is
priceless.

first month until the Julian calendar
was adopted in 46 b. c. They called
the month Martius, a name supposed

the god of war.
The chief festival days of March
are = 1st, st. David's; the 18th, st
Gregory; 18th, st. Patrick; the 9Th,

CLOTHES MAKE THE
 MAN, SAYS TAILOR
London Experts Claim to "Re-
 build Men"

London, July Y P>-Good neTs for short men who desire 10 appear tall was announced recently by a London tailor who says he has con- ceived a plan to bring about this effect by a new wrinkle in garment cutting and designing The trick is very simple, The modification Is chiefly In the lapels, which are worn very small and rolling short. The roll Is so short in fact that it fin ishes on line, with the top button. This adds length to the front of the coat, says the tailor, with the much desired result among men under height that they appear several inches taller,
 Another innovation is that the front of the coat. especially in eve ming clothes, extending to the hip is cut straight. Sleeves in mems wear have become narrower, this change having been made to Correspon1 with the new "'cow heel" stiff cuff of the dress shirt which Is the latest thing among the best dressed men about London. While there has been q tendency to wear the coat fuller in front, there are stili a great many evening tailed coats made which show plenty of the shirt and waist coat, this being particularly desir- able among tho older set Of mon who remain true to the style of other years.

RUSSIA EXPECTS
 BIG O|L YIELDS
Think Baku Fields Will Prove
 Fabulous

Paku, July r (P>-on the occa- sion of the fifth anniversary of the standardization of the Baku oil fields, the soviet press gave some de- tails of the present state and pro- ductivity of the oil fields and out lined the program of their future de- yelopment.
 The Baku oil fields, which before the revolution belonged to 270 diff ferent owners, are now united under one mana cement. The yield of oil which in 1920 was low as 10,00o,- 600 poods a month, has now been brought up 10 nearly 20,o0o.000 poods, which Is approximately the pre-war standard. There arc now Il exploitation 21,ooo wells.
 Last year Russia exported from Baku 32 100000 poods of oil. It Is expected that during the coming year not less than 34o,o0o,00o will be obtained.
 New equipment and machinery were bought In America this year, and the methods of obtaining oil have been entirely reyoutionized,
 At present the government Is em- barking upon a costly program of building an additional oil pipe line connecting Baku with Batum, on which it will spend more than s1o,- oonno0 Part of the order for pipes is expected to be placed abroad. probably In America. The scheme will be financed by the State oil Trust itself without any sub sidy from the government.

Oxford Union Urges
 Saving Old Library

Oxford, England, July r Fl- An appeal is being made to old members of the Oxford Union for s30.000 which is necessary for the saving Of the society's buildings Such appeals are most unusual in Oxford, but this one is justified by an architects statement that the roof of the Union library though comparatively new, cannot stand the storms of another winter.
 This library has been from the first an ill-omened structure. It was upon it's upper walls that Ro- setti, Burne-Jones, Morris and the young pre- Raphaelites painted the famous fresco scenes from the Morte d'Arthur-a series of wall paintings probably never surpassed in ngland--only to see them peel off with the damp and the rotting plaster within 10 or 12 years.
 Theinside of the high roof, which is now giving way, was decorated and designed by William Morris, and Is worthy of note no less for its beauty than for the fact that here he first became aware of his abilities in this form of art

BUY OUT
 OPPOSITION PRESS
Then They Suspend Publication
 of News

Rome. July r P-Buying and suppressing opposition newspapers is the newest scheme of controlling public opinion resorted to by influ- ential fascists who are ever resource ful in their efforts to find ways and means of carrying out their avowed policy of fascistizing the nation at any price.
 Initial use of the plan at Parma where the city's two newspapers Il Piccolo. a democratic opposition publication sheet and La Gazzeta Di Parma, a liberal organ-Were purchased and then abandoned, has aroused considerable criticism in journalistic circles where the scheme is characterized as an intolerant and unjustified means of choking the liberty of the press.
 Disapproval of the Parma trans action where the two opposition newspapers were taken up by an ap- parently political business syn dicate and then dropped to leave the newspaper field wide open for a newly founded fascist daily, Is es- pecially keen because the Gazzetta was one of the oldest newspapers in Italy, having been founded in 1756, and because both of the abandoned newspapers had advanced their political ideas with dignity and con- straint, never having been sup pressed or warned by the govern mental press censor.

 Governor General Wood said re- msrkable progress had been made in teaching English in the public schools but if English were to be properly taught, 1t would be neces- sary to have a much larger force of American teachers
 If we would create interest in economic development as We have In education, the progress of the Filipino would be greatly accelerated the governor general said, He urg ed the maintenance Of the line of demarcation between executive and legislative branches Of government

 When those who were seeking 10 Induce him to retire from the gov ernment service became insistent some months ago, President Coolidge so unreseryedly expressed his con ldence in the secretary and SO strongly urged him to remain in the cabinet that Mir Work agreed to do 50.
 Having demonstrated his adminis- trative ability as the head, success lively, of the post office and interior departments, he Is regarded by Mir.
