POLICY
 PAIRING PRICES Twenty-Five Gents for Evening
 Admissions Hereafter

The new Palace policy goes into effect starting tomorrow. The ad- mission prices under the new policy will be ten and fifteen cents in the afternoon and fifteen and tweAty- ,, five cents in the evenings with these evening prices prevailing on Sun days.
 There will be three changes of program in the week, new shows being presented on Sundays, We'd nesdays and Fridays. Every program will consist of two high-grade features, with select short subjects. Wednesday nights will be country store nights and Friday nights will be amateur nights. There will be no advance in admission price for these added attractions.
 The program selected to open up the new policy tomorrow consists ot two excellent features. Tom Mix the peer of all western stars in "The Last Trail' and the picturization Of the famous stage play April Fool' with Alexander Carr.
 Tom Mix starring as Tom Dane in Zane Greys thriller, makes Ben Hur look like an amateur horseman. Ben proved himself the best driver in the world on the most famous track the coliseum but Ben was in a racing chariot on regular race track. Tom, in the race which concludes the scenes in "The Last Trail' drives | four mustangs to a plunging, sway. | ing stage about hairpin turns ol mountain roads and the driver oi
 each of the other nine stages is 6 desperate with instructions to pre- vent To mfrom finishing the race It's a race which no one but MiA could have driven for anyone else would have been ditched at the first turn. Tom succeeds in giving the crowd a real Ben-Hur finish.
 That however is not the last of Toms troubles. There is no end tc the action and with the finish of the picture we still want more. The companion feature for the first three days is from the famous stage play An April Shower in which Alexander Carr of Potash and Perlmutter fame wins the audience from start to finish. Laughs galore are in this picture, but there arc also innumerable heart touching in- cidents which makes the picture one of the outstanding ones of the years output.

'N0B0DY'S WIDOW
 NEXT AT LYCEUM
Stars Beatrice Joy, Charles Ray
 and Phyllis HaYer

Leatrice Joy, Phyllis Haver, David Butler and Charles Ray! What a lineup of stars! These all have leading parts in "Nobody's Widow" Miss Joys latest starring vehicle which opens tomorrow night at the Lyceum theater on double pro- gram bill the other half of which is great action picture bringing William Fairbanks in "A Fight to the Finish"
 In "Nobody's Widow" Miss Joy. who had no small part in bringing on the vogue of the boyish bob, ap- pears once more with her hair fluff fed and marcelled. Charles Ray, who first won fame as the delinea- tor of hick roles, has stilled the cri- ticism of those who have branded him as a one type player for in "Nobody's Widow" he takes the part of the Hon. John Clayton, an Eng ishman, in which he has ample opportunity for polite comedy.
 Miss Haver's part also is. a sprightly one and in this picture she enacts a part that she really enacted with slight variations in her own home. In the picture she IS entertaining Miss Joy and Charles Ray, the former having just return- ed from Europe with a most har- rowing experience. Phyllis has re- tired for the night and hears ter rble noise downstairs. Grabbing a little pistol she creeps down only to find Miss Joy and Ray trying to declare their love under trying con- ditions. The direct opposite of this scene really took place but it was her two prize Persian kittens kick ing up a rumpus that Miss Haver discovered.
 "A Fight to the Finish" is a smashing drama of action, with Phyllis Haver playing opposite Fair banks. When champion boxer and challenger meet on the street and hate each other all because of a pretty girl something is bound to happen and this is but one of the scenes in the production. It has been said that love has ruined many a good fighter but love too, has made" this amateur boxer a champ and in the great prize ring scene of this picture occurs a fight that for thrills and action cannot be ex- celled by even a real professional match.
 The news reels and selected com edies round out each bill and, it will be remembered, the Lyceum now is showing it's double feature bills each evening at reduced prices.

THE FIRE BRIGADE AT THE CAPITOL
Big Photoplay Featured, Be ginning Sunday

The screen has found a new me- dium of expression in focusing pub lie attention on our national and everyday heroes. "The Big Parade did more for the American soldier and for pacifism than all the lec- lures in the world. Similarly "The Fire Brigade" which comes to the Capitol theater Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and ednesday, Metro Goldwyn Mayer production directed by William Nigh, imm ortaliZes the hero of peace time, the fireman, and is marvellous human document in the cause of fire prevention.
 The story tells of the everyday life of fireman, played in this case by Charles Ray. It has been di- rected by Nigh with a straightfor- wardness and sincerity seldom matched, which makes for a realism that might have been turned into hokum by a less competent director. In fact, sincerity and sympathy strike the keynote of the whole pie ture, and the most spectacular scenes are never allowed to over- balance the story itself, for the principal characters are always kept to the fore.
 ''The Fire Brigade" is the result of the cooperation of the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer studies and the h. ternational Order of Fire Engineers, and was produced at the suggestion of the latter. The M-G-M organi- zation will give a large portion of the net profits to the order for the carrying on of its fire prevention work, and will turn over another portion to various fire and sick fits9maintained by fire depart ment locals. The picture was pro- duced by Hunt Stromberg.

asked: s

You have testified before the com.
mittee that you have very yaluahla
properties In Mexico. Ii Is almost
common knowledge that you were
IN favor OF the overthrow 81 the

You evidently believed that il

A fair analysis of the recent

THE PATRIOTS PLEDGE
HUNDRED A AGO.

Times change, This summer we
found a WILL made about a
hundred years ago by the great
grandfather Of the editor wife.
This old pioneer was a soldier in
The Revolutionary war, aud short
" afterwards left Maryland for
the newly settled section Of the
country along The Juniata river,
IN Pa. lie came here IN 1875, and
the WIN shows he not only ac-
eumulated a considerable amount
Of property but reared a family OF
ten children.
The 'sWill'' is OF interest for
what it doesn't contain, as well as
for what ii does. No mention is
made of his radio set', nor his
automobile, nor his telephone, noi
his unused tickets by railroad ot
steamboat, None OF these thing,
were known to him. But he doe,
dispose OF his loom aud Of his
"sleighs and of his Dutch ov-
en-. and Of his tongs, anvils, and
punches While the great-great-
grand children may laugh at the
old man for not knowing about the
joys of the radio, the old mar
could chuckle just as loud about
the kids not knowing the joys OF
an old fashioned sleigh ride,
while seated beside his "best girl,
SO the laugh is even.
Several things show themselve,
in this hundred year old document
First the fervor Of religion per.
meates it. Again this old leader in
his community made Ibis mark
But few people could write at this
time. Our schools have cut this out
Thirdly he shows his orderliness
as he makes detailed provision OF
all his property, to his heirs, even
to the three hogs intended to be
fatnedn for the winters meat.
1t was such hardy old pioneers as
this man, who laid the foundation
Of our republic, and we can well
afford to spend a few moments ask
ing ourselves if We have really
made much advancement from the
period of a. hundred years ago.
Here's the will, exactly as re.
corded about one hundred years
ago:
