OBITUARY

White Pine Grove, No. 48, Fitz-
gerald, Ca, extends heartfelt sympa-
thy to the bereaved husband and son
of the late Sovereign. Camilla E.
Nunnery, who departed this life July
IS, 1926. ~
Whereas, a grievous sorrow has
come to every member of White Pine
Grove, yet we know that Sovereign
Nunnery has entered into the best
that Heaven itself can give rest.
She has passed from us but her
memory still fingers.
Let US make it.rour guiding star
that we who knew her may through
her example, be better members of
the great fraternity for which she
gave her life.
Whereas, the husband has lost a
devoted wife, the son loving moth
er; the community. good woman.
Resolved, That we. the members
of White Pine Grove, at Fitzgerald,
Ca, extend to the bereaved family
our sense of personal loss, that this
noble heart has gone from our midst,
and to the sorrowing ones we assure
them that their sorrow is our sorrow,
and that their loved one will live en-
shrined of the Woodman Circle. To
live in the hearts of our friends is
not to die.
We who knew Sovereign Camilla
Nunnery loved her, but God loved
her better and saw fit to call her to
eternal rest To the sarEOwing ones
we have but little of this worlds con-
solutions to offer, but commend them
to one that doeth all things for the
best and the glory Of his kingdom.
Resolved, That in her memory our
charter be draped and so remain for
a period of so days.
Resolved, That copy be published
in the city papers. Tidings paper, also
a copy be mailed to each member of
family.

GREATER MOVIE SEASON

The movie theatre mas become tne
community meetin' house.
Students of community conditions
point out that the local picture the
atre provides a common meeting
place at which the residents of the
small town see each other and ex:
change greetings in a brotherhood of
light-heartedness.
To be sure, there have always been
the churches, but the people get
there only once, and possibly twice,
a week, and those of one denomina-
ton would not SO frequently encoun-
ter those of another denomination.
But the movie houses-and the NOV
les themselves-have no denomina-
ton and have an appeal for every
one.
There are 20,233 movie theatres
in the United States. These theatres
have a total seating capacity of 49,
554,859. And, according to recent
surveys, the average weekly attend
ance is 100 millions.
The movie surely has become the
gathering place of the small town.
Nearly all of these theatres, wheth-
er in villages, small towns or great
cities, will celebrate in August,
Greater Movie Season, which marks
the thirtieth anniversary of the film
as a theatre-shown means of enter
tainment.

DON'T WRITE ANONYMOUS
LETTERS

Why do people write anonymous
letters to newspapers?
Accomplishing nothing, and less
than nothing, in the way of spread
ing their own ideas and theories,
nevertheless they continue doing it,
and the owners that did not get half
dozen such letters every week well
might fear that its Importance in the
public estimation was waning.
AS rule the anonymous letter is
thrown into the waste basket half
read. Once in a long while one of
them contains some really useful in
formation. Sometimes they are so
amusing that their abusiveness is ig-
nored and other readers of the pa
per are allowed to join in the edi-
torial laugh at the ignorance or the
absurdity of the nameless critic.
Perhaps the anonymous letter
writer is content to "get it off his
chest" Very we'll! But don't send
any unsigned communications to this
newspaper. They will not be pub
lished.

Plea for Understanding
 Is Made by Herrick

New York, Oct. 22 [F, A plea for understanding and patience between America and France was made by Myron T. Herrick, |. s. ambassador to France, in an address yesterday before the Bond club of New York.
 "We have our characteristics that are not altogether beautiful" said MT. Herrick. 50 has any nation. Don't let us be temperamental. Don't let us be cross and mean. What would we do if 6.000,O00 of our young men were dead and we were in difficulties with our credit? How would We hold ourselves? Would we keep our tempers always?
 If we said to the nations of Eu- rope today, Tell us what you think you ought to pay us.' Do you think they would say to us, We don't owe you anything" No! Europe would not do that"

FrancO-German Relations
 Talked Over in Paris

Paris, Oct. 22 LP-Foreign Minis ter Brtand and Ambassador Non Hoesch of Germany today held a conference at the foreign office i'm mediately after a meeting of the ministerial council.
 It is understood that the German ambassador merely talked over the general phases of FranCo-German relations and acquainted foreign Minister Briand with the German viewpoint on the entire problem of coming to a closer understanding and cooperation.
 Officials of the foreign office said that the German ambassadors talk with Philippe Berthelot, general secretary of the foreign office, yes terday and his conference with M. Briand today were merely the first steps in long and difficult negotia- tions. They warned against undue optimism that there will be speedy action by either side.

.POINCARE'S PLAN
 ID BE BROAD ONE
Restrictions and Economies Are
 Important

Paris, Oct. 22 R-Premier Poin- cares plan for the stabilization of the franc, which will have the floor in parlia ent aftel consideration of the Washington and London debt agreements, according to very good authorities, will be based as much on restrictions and economies as on foreign loans. It will provide for a long and prudent effort, in the course of which no chances will be taken with the economic situation the continued pro rity of which is essential to the final success of the scheme.
 The premier. who six months ago was not in favor of foreign loans as one of the means of stabilization, has, it is said, been convinced by the experts that they are absolutely ne- cessary. NJ. Poincare has decided however, tha btefr hsretashaordl however, that before resorting to foreign loans or credits, an effort will be made to realize something on the German railroad and industrial bonds pledged for the payment of separations.
