THE FOREIGN LEGION"
A POWERFUL PHOTOPLAY

The most spectacular and power
full drama in many months will play
at the Kootenai theatre Sunday and
Monday next. 1t is "The Foreign
Legion" co-starring Norman Kerry
and Lewis Stone, supported by beau
tiful Mary Nolan and June Marlowe.
This is without doubt one OF
the finest pictures of the year and
should rate high when the selection
of the years greatest pictures is
made.
1t is sheer drama of romance and
revolt, relieved with comedy mas
terfully placed at just the right spots.
1t cannot hurt your enjoyment by
being told that the story revolves
around the powerful situation of a
son and his father opposed to each
other, neither knowing who the other
is.
The action takes place in the col
orful locale of Algiers and is fea-
tured by sensational Photographic
beauty. On the dramatic side, high
lights are the troops and the mu-
tiny in the desert led by Kerry UNI
knowingly against This father, the.
commanding officer. They also are
pitted for the smiles of Mary Nolan,
blonde and dangerous. Another pow
erfu sequence is where the father is
presiding judge at his sons trial.

DE MOLAYs COOPERATE w1Tu
FEDERAL FOREST SERVICE

In Washington the Order of No
Molay has been actively cooperating
since 1927 with the federal forest SER
vice in the planting Of young trees on
a tract in the Wind River Valley. in
Skamania County. For the past three
years 1877 acres and 1o5,s55 young trees
nave been planted on the De Molav
Forest IN the Columbia national forest
New nurseries established during the
year to grow stock for planting and
enlargements to existing nurseries will
increase the area which can be plant
ed annually under existing appropri.
ations to between 10000 and 25.00o
acres.
AZ this rate, however, the planting
OF the 100000 acres of denuded
cumberland now within the national
forests will take approximately 100
years. Purchases of new land east OF
the mississippi River by the national
forest reservation commission mean
while are adding to the acreage need
ing planting. A speeding up Of the
planting program is therefore con-
sidered urgent BY the forest service.
The forest service maintains only
one forest nursery in this district, that
IN the Wind River Valley, northeast Of
Stevenson, Washington, witch has an
annual capacity Of 1900 900 tree seed
ings.

To comfort and defend;
