.SPARROWS" CALLED MARY'S
GREATEST

Mary Pickford, who has made a
score of screen masterpieces and
bought pleasure to millions, has just
completed a picture which is said
by many critics to be the best OF
her career.
The picture is "SparrOws," a UNI
ted Artists Corporation release, and
it comes to the New Dover Opera
House on Monday, Tuesday and
wednesday, January 81, and Febru-
ary 1 and 2.
The role of Mama Mollie offers to
Mary Pickford splendid opportun-
itv. At times she is an impish, mis-
chievous little hoyden, and yet again
the tender mother heart yearn1ng
over the SORROWS of the babies and
comforting them with stolen dreams
and magic kisses.
There is no fine raiment for "The
Worlds Sweetheart" in this picture,
no gorgeous costumes nor fairy
princes. Quainter than Annie Roo
new. sweeter than ever, until the
very end of the picture, she is tat
tered and torn, barelegged, ragged
but radiant.
There is not a dull moment in the
story, and the picture is brimmlng
with comedy. 1t has punch ana
thrills and suspense-eVerything a
successful picture needs, and In ad-
dition it has the one and only Mary

Boulder Dam, according to legis-
lation now pending in Congress, is
to be self-fnanced and pre-fnanced.
The Swing Johnson bill provides
that the Government is not to make
any expenditures on the dam until
the Secretary of the Interior Sc
cures sufficient contracts for power
and water from the dam to repay
the Government, with interest, all
money spent in the construction
and maintenance of the structure.
More than fifteen billion dollars
in new industrial and agricultural
wealth will be created by the cleo
trio power and water from Boulder
Dam within ten years after its COM

Government surveys. This new
wealth will return, from the South
west, more than $100,000,000 annu-

ed out.
Situated $50 miles south and west
of the Grand Canyon, the site of
Boulder Dam is in that section of

Be Generous With Good Cows
Many owners of dairy cattle fail
to give the good COW sufficient feed
above that required for carrying on
her bodily functions, says the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture. The highly specialized dairy
cow returns in the form of milk
practically all the digestible nutri-
ents in the feed given her except
those for body maintenance. Nearly
all highly specialized milk produc-
ers lose weight in the early part of
the lactation period, but they nor
mally regain it toward the end of
the milking period. The dairyman
can well afford to feed such COWS
literally, since they will return the
feed in the form of milk when they
again freshen.
