'BIC PARADE TO BE ? RESENTED
 NEXT THURSDAY
Stirring War Drama Will Continue Armis tice
 Night at Capitol

Quite appropriate as theatrical attraction for the Armistice Day holiday is The Big Parade with Jchn Gilbert and Renee Adoree in the featured parts, which will begin showing Thursday night and com ,nue Friday and Saturday night at the Capitol theatre.
 The Big Parade" is revised version with soun defects of the picture of the same name that was such notable success as silent production.
 Notable Supporting Cast
 Included in the cast besides Gil- bert and Miss Adoree are Karl Dane, Hobart Bosworth. Claire Mo 'Dowell and Tom OBrien.
 The story, written by Lawrence Stallings, is simply but vididly told Jim Apperson, an easy-going, lik- able young American, enliSts al the outbreak of the war, leaving his family and sweetheart. He becomes deeply attached to his two buddies, Slim and Bull, and the three go through a number of en- crossing and stirring experiences.
 Falls in Love
 While stationed behind the lines, Jim falls in love with Melisande. The conclusion of the war, the out come of his entanglement with the girl at home and his final return to. France in search of Melisande provide the plot elements of a story which wavers between com- edy and pathos.
 The reality of war has been magnificently brought home in this picture. Its horror it's tragi- comedy and it's romance have in this istance been woven into a true epic.

Fritz" Fails Master When 1t
Comes To Carrying Overalls

Fritz" a black police dog, owned
by David w. Walter, has been some
what famed for years for his ability
and willingness to carry packages,
ETC., especially for his master, and
chase sticks for hours and return
them to the sender.
But for once he failed most miser-
ably. Monday Dave gave him a pair
of overalls to take home. When Dave
arrived home some time later the ov-
erals were nowhere to be found and
even a search of half an hour or more
along Oak street failed to reveal the
lost property.
Tuesday morning David was pur-
chasing a new outfit and he did not
state whether or not he would chance
his brand new pair with his trusty
companion, fame or no fame.

Universal Bible Sunday

The observance of Universal Bible

by the churches of Maryland, is being
urged by the American Bible Society.

agency engaged in the circulating of
the Scriptures, and which last year
put into distribution nearly ten mil

Many churches in America and in

order to emphasize the important
place the Bible holds in the develop
ment of Christian life and character.

MT. LAKE PARK
Has Collection of Rifles

Mr.. Fred. C. Fleming, of Fairmont,
West Va, who together with Mrs.
Fleming, spends much of his time at
his cottage here, has for his hobby
the collection of guns, revolvers, pis-
tolls and other paraphernalia of the
chase. His collection, consisting,
among other things. of about 35 guns
and the same number of pistols and
revolvers, is very complete and in
teresting one. Many of them are rel
les of forgotten days when the pos
session of a firearm was very nee
essary equipment, and upon which
frequently depended the defense of
home and even life and the supply of
food. Indeed, several have been used
by their former owners to take hui
man life and one saved the life of an
officer in the army when he was at
tackled at night by an enemy in the
Philippines. A rifle in the collection
was carried by man who was killed
when it was struck by lightning.
He has an old flint lock blunderbus
of the type used by the Pilgrim faith
ers. 1t may have descended from that
period, for it is very old.
In his collection, also, is the larg-
est, as we'll as the smallest, pistol ca
pable of firing a metallic cartridge.
Another is an ancient swivel gun
which can be baited and can only be
discharged by the action of pulling
on the bait.
An interesting relic which Mr..
Fleming has just acquired is $50
year old bear trap. 1t was made by
a blacksmith by the name of Wolf
for Jacob Rheinhart, of Preston coun-
ty, West Va, and descended to his
son, Jacob Rheinhart, .Jr. 1t was then
sold to George Root, of Preston coun-
ty and afterwards given to his son
David E. Root, of Tucker county, W.
Va, from whom it was bought by
Mr.. Fleming. A great many bears
have been caught in the trap, the last
one a year ago, in Tucker county, W.
Va.
