1.-THE WEDDING SONG" FEATURED
 AT LIBERTY THEATRE TONIGHT

The story dealing with band of crooks who plan to rob young is- lander of pearls worth approximately a million. "The Wedding Song," 8 new and powerful screen melodrama starring Leatrice Joy and Robert Ames, which will be shown at the Lib- erty theatre tonight, is said to be one of the most dramatic photoplays ever presented at Manager Brownells the atre.
 Miss Joy is the weapon the crooks employ to deprive the islander imper- sonated by Robert Ames, of his pearls. The plan works we'll until the girl crook unexpectedly falls in love with their intended victim, then things be- gin to happen. The scenes range from the coral strand of tropic isle to the underworld of San Francisco and back again There are many thrill ling scenes, the eliminating one when there is an explosion which puts many of the crooks permanently out of busi- ness, being especially strong. The s11nnortinp cast is excellent The Dic- ture was directed by Alan Hale, for mer screen villain, under MT. De- Miles personal supervision.
 Also on the program tonight is a roaring, laugh getter comedy "One Spooky Night" with all of Mack Sen nett's stars in it.

BEAUTIFUL CALENDARS
 SEWARD STEAM LAUNDRY

Among the first calenders for 1927 to be handed out to their local and out-of-town patrons is the large and handsome ones now being distributed by the Seward Steam Laundry. The calender is reproduced from an ori- ginal painting "The Pearl of India" and produced by the Osborne Com pany of Newark, N. J.
 Regarding this famous painting which hangs in the New York Art Gallery, under the velvet sky of the mystic tropic night, in the seclusion of the portico of her palace, this Prin- cess discards the veil that hides her beautiful face from the world. She is Pearl of, India, that Land of Blood and Treasure, of adventure and intri- que and romance Shining in the soft starlight and reflected in the Lagoon is the far-famed Tai Mahal memo rial raised by an Emperor to a great and much-loved queen. The Tai Ma hal is declared by many artists and architects to be the most beautiful building in the world, d,-matchles in symmetry, superb in the magic of it's white marble sculputuring and glori- ous in it's exemplifcation of an En- pire's lavish wealth. 4

upon the affairs Of those times can be

a. word OF warning, however: Don't
let yourself become 80 optimistic that

good, but also very speculative and
hazardous. Some born at this time
Will make fortunes, while others will

Of this month should take this advice
to heart and should be careful to

OTTAWA, Ontario, March 90
Number Of American motor tourists
entering Canada in 1925 was greater
than the Dominion's entire popula-
ton. Figures in a bulletin issued
by the Department of Customs show
that 9,71e,576 Americans in automo-
biles passed through at the border
last year, while Canadas population
was estimated at 100000.
This was 2,159,736 more Ameri-
can tourists than came to Canada in
1924" says the bulletin. "It is esti-
mated that the tourists left $780,
100000 in the Dominion last year, or
S40,0O0,O0O more than the revenue
from the 1924 tourist traffic. A
total Of 2,429.144 Americn cars Wis

pared with 1,SS9,210 cars in 1924.
Ontario was the most popular
province with American tourists, ac-
counting for two-third Of the traffic,
or 100000 cars. New Brunswick,
because Of it's position close to the
populous eastern States, ranked sec
ond with nearly 500, 900 visiting cars,
followed by Quebec with approx
