THREE MILES UP"
NOW AT PALACE

Al Wilson, the flying Ace" who
plays the starring role in Three
Miles Up" the present Palace fea-
ture, demonstrates a new use for
the well-knewn western lariat.
Standing en- the wing of his air
, plane, Wilson successfully lassos
his enemy from the wing of a pur-
suing plane, swings him up be-
side him and flies serenely on.
. Cowboys who used to perform
the lasso trick from the backs of
bucking bronchos, will realize that
a new era has dawned for which
their skill paved the way.
Wilson declares that he has no
fear of missing" on this stunt,
as he has practiced the art of
lassoing with the most expert
cowpunchers of the west.
This is only one of a hundred
thrills which are guaranteed in

Rev. Leahy had planned his trip

local service would involve a loss
of considerable time before he

Belgium Women Prefer
Families to Politics

BRUSSELS, Feb. Family life
and the home seem to hold a
stronger appeal for Belgian women
than the hurly-burly of political
life.
Unlike American and British
women, Belgian women haven't
yet obtained full political emanci-
patton. They cannot vote for the
national senate and chamber of
representatives. but if woman is
elected she can sit in either cham
Der, and there is one woman sena-
tor.
Belgian women are, however, ac-
tive IN some phases of local gov
ernment and there are nine women
Durgomasters. Five women are
provincial counsellors, 154 are
country counsellors, 9 are alder
women and "a are county tax col
lectors.

HEART OF THE YUKON"
SHOWING AT COLISEUM

A deity constructed story of the
Alaskan gold rush days is 1.-THE
Heart of the Yukon the feature
picture which opened at the Coli
scum last night Add to this
many thrilling and dramatic sit
uations, tense and breath-taking
in their realism, and you have a
slight idea of what sort of picture
it is.
The story concerns the efforts
of a girl to find her long lost
father who was last heard from in
Alaska. She goes North seeking
him and arrives in the roaring gold
rush camp of Halfway. There,
an INSCRIPTIONS saloon keeper con-
, vinces her that he is her father,
hoping thereby to get the fortune
that has been left to her. The
story continues to a dramatic eli
max which is one of the best we
have seen in a long time.
An excellent cast is headed by
John Bowers and Anne Cornwall.
Bowers plays the part of a pio-
neer who has found gold near
Halfway. Miss Cornwall is seen
in the role of the girl who has
come into this cruel, hard country,
seeking her father. These two
have been excellently cast for
their respective roles, and leave
nothing to be desired.

NORTHERN MONTANA HAS MADE PROGRESS

One gets a very cramped view Of the conditions in this
part of Montana who looks for progress and development
only in their own immediate section or town. 1t is of course
true that there is always competition and rivalry between
near by towns, as there is between individuals in the same
town. That is natural enough. But there is always danger
of over-emphasizing that situation. There are mutual in
terests binding a section of the state together. The pros
perity Of one is the advantage Of all.
Norhern Montana has shown progress generally. The
agricultural industry is the basis of all other business and
industry in this section of the state. The comeback of the
ranch and farm in the northern counties in recent years has
revived all forms of business. All communities are bene-
fitting by that renewed activity. The prosperity of each
community in turn has It's effect beyond is limits in improv-
ing conditions in the neighboring towns.
We could all gain by cooperative effort in assisting in
the development OF the common region on which our bust
ness life is founded. We need more emphasis on our NUT
uaity of interest. We need more attention to our common
problems and a readiness to aid in the development of the
other portions of our part of the state.
