PICKING UP CHIPS-$25, 900
WORTH

The idea that the only chips Of
value are the red, white and blue
variety no longer holds, according TO
the Nations Business.
cit YVES deemed somewhat of a
virtue" it says, for woodsmen to
hew to the line and let the chips fall
where they may.
mot SO today. Not, at least, in
the forests supplying the wood piles Of
certain industrial plant in Tennes-
see, which carries in it's yards about
ten thousand cords of hardwood for
distillation purposes. A new manag-
err noticed that each stick in those ten
thousand cords had two ends and that
these ends were somewhat pointed.
II occurred to him that there must be
a whole lot Of chips lying on the
ground where that cord wood was cut.
Ii was too late to pick them up, but
from now on the woodsman will no
longer swing his broad axe and make
chips as well as pointed cord wood. He
will push a cross~cut saw, make square
ended sticks. and leave nothing on the
ground but little piles of saw dust.
The saving in wood, after deducting
the excess cost of saving as compar-
ed with hewing, viii be about s25,000
on each years supply.

GLORIA SWANSON IN
SADIE THOMPSON" AT THE
BRADLEY SUN. & MON.

Gloria Swanson's second independ.
ent production, "Sadie Thompson,
will be the feature film at the Bradley
Theatre on Sunday and Monday.
Raoul Walsh, director of "What
Price Glory2" made the film, also
collaborating with Miss Swanson on
the scenario, and acting the role Of
Sergeant 0'Hara. w. Somerset
Maugham's classic story, "Miss At
kinson," is the original source on
which the film, "Sadie Thompson is
based.
Lionel Barrymore appears in the
film as Alfred Atkinson, a self-ap-
pointed and officious reformer. DR..
and Mrs. McPhail are played, respec-
lively, by Charles Lane and Florence
Midgley. James Marcus, Will Stan
ton and Sophia Artega are also in the
cast.
"Sadie Thompson" is the narrative
of an intolerant individuals insistent
projection of his dominant personality
into the pitifully weak and feminine
existence of an outcast girl who is try
ing to 'slive and let live" Maug-
hams classic is a drama Of tolerance,
colorful, romantic, throbalng story
of human souls in conflict. Greatest
of all Maugham's literary creations Is
"Miss Thompson" the gaudily dress
ed lady who flaunts a parasol ana
tits high-hat feather at a Marine as
readily as she flares into singing re-
sentiment at self-appointed intruders
into lives of others. Gloria Swanson
has said that she likes "Sadie Thomp..
son" better than any other one OF
her screen characterizations; that she
was the happiest in acting the part.
Hence, film-goers who attend the
Bradley Theatre viii be seeing on the
screen Gloria Swanson's favorite
screen character and w. Somerset
Maugham's greatest literary charae-
ter.
Humor, wistful and sardonici ang-
err, sudden and bitter; soul-struggie,
|exhausting and killing; love, sacred
and profane; these are the essence o.
Gloria Swanson's film, "Sadie Ihomp,,
son." Just as they were the soul anu
body Of Maugham's classic story

There is one person who is always
looked for when Spring comes and II
La time for the birds to return from
the Sunny South. This person Is a
very important person In the Old
Orchard. It Is Scrapper the Kingbiyd.
You see, Scrspper makes It his busl-
ness to mount guard over the Old
Orchard. All the other feathered folk
know 1t.
Scrapper has won his name because
he Is fighter. There isn't cowardIy
feather on Scrapper. When he sees a
member Of the Hawk family approach
ing the Old Orchard he promptly gives
warning to all the other featnered folk.
But, unlike the others, he does not
hide. No, indeed. That isn't Scrap
per's way at all. He goes out 10 meet
that Hawk. It makes no difference 10
him IL that Hawk Is ten times his size
He does not even respect old King
Eagle. He goes out TO meet the in
truder and usually the intruder is very
glad to get away as soon as may be. for
Scrapper makes 1t very, very uncom-
Portable for him.
So It Is that Scrapper the Kingbird
Is an important person in the Old
Orchard and his arrival Is watched for.
The other feathered folk feel that they
can better settle down TO business, the
business of home building and raising
families, when they know that Scrap
per Is on guard.
A number Of the feathered folk had
arrived, but Scrapper had not yet put

dictate that debts contracted under this
sway may soon be paid.
Personal publicity is well directed

political aspirants.
Advertising of all sorts is subject to
| the best conditions, the seers declare,
and publishers will benefit.
