BUCK JONES SHOWS BEST
ROPING SKILL IN PICTURE

Buck Jones, star of the Fox Films
production, "The Cowboy and the
Countess" now at the Wier theater,
has never had a better vehicle in
which to display mis- wonderful skill
in roping and riding.
AS Jerry Whipple, handsmoe young
owner Of the Boot Jack Ranch, he is
seen first at his ranch where he gives
practical demonstrations on his own
stock. Then later in the picture he
shows some fancy tricks, while tour
ing Europe, with his band Of cowboys
in western rodeo.
The story Of .'The Cowboy and
the Countess" has highly original
plot, dealing with the adventures Of
typical wetern cowhands in Europe.
Their trip across is filled with uproar-
iously funny situations and their adj
ventures after they arrive are equal
Iy exciting.
Lovely Helena Daley plays oppo-
site Jones in the role Of Elsa YER
laine, the daughter Of Belgravian
nobleman whom Jerry follows to Eu-
rope. It is not until the very end
Of the picture, however. that Jerry's
love-affairs look even halfway hope
full, but eventually things straighten
out in most unexpected manner.
Others in the cast include Diana
Miller, Harvey Clark and Fletcher
Norton. R. William Neil directed the
production.

suits, and street dresses.
They are worn during q gorgeous

The mannequin shop presents as
fine an appearance as anything in
Paris.
A special feature of the set was
collection of 10 gorgeous ostrich
feather fans. This collection, in
Greer's department, is declared to be
one of the finest in America. One Of
the exhibits was a jewel case. Two
special watchmen were placed on the
set day and night to guard it.

condition of the Indians on White
Earth reservation. Mr.. Allen
stated in the press that the Indians
were not in want and that the cry
of want and hardship, which be
stated was loudest in White Earth,
was only q prelude to securing q
per capita payment. Mr.. Allen
has been head of the Chippewa

In referring to the per capita pay

Mr.. Allen intimated that while he
did not favor a 800 per capita
payment. he would favor $50
payment, and that he believed the
Indians needed it. But according
to his statements in the Twin City
