The railroad shops were 11': mna oniy necessary irain crews wer:- sent out. Servants of Uncle Sam and of the county took a holiday." The mull car rlera did not go out. and the patrons were given the usual holiday hours to secure the mall at the postofflcf win- dows. The land offices, the banks and the court houses offices were all closed for the day. By reason of the falT that there ar no organised labor headquarters here, aside from the brotherhood existing among the trainmen, no regular pro gram was carried out. as In the larger cities of the state today. The mer chants kept open shop all day, how ever. At the Pa-stlme, The feature number I? "The Discov erers."

"The Discoverers" is a grand his torical pageant, picturing the discov ery and Joumllng of 'New France" (Canada). The picture opens In -the Indian village of, StadaCone, now the ciy of Quebec, In the year,, 1534. A lone Indians standing' on the . bank, overlooking the river, sees strange ships approaching. He sounds an alarm. . Leaving the women and chll-dren-behind, the natives proceed to the river where Jacques ' Cartler and his crew are rowing toward the, shore. The , strangers are cordially greeted, led to the camp, where the fear of the Indian Is removed and the strangers are greeted and accorded a friendly welcome. The next scene Is -In the gardens of Fontalnebleau. where Francis the First receives Cartler and from him learns of the discovery of New France; The discoverer- Is pre sented to the king, Henry' IV., Sam uel, de Camplaln receives a commis sion to set out and settle New France.

At The SomiI-. This evening the change of pro- grame calls for several specially strong numbers. The first one on the pro gram is the World 'Round Automobile Race. This film shows the start from New York and all the special Inci dents between that point and Paris. The hardships ericMintered in Alaska and Siberia. Many accidents and on the other' hand, many of the pleasures with which the racers met. The com edy part of the bill Is the Runaway Mother-ln-Law. Tills number will give the audience an opportunity to laugh.' The scenic slides show the beautiful architecture of Rome when that city was known as the City Beau tiful. Mr. Beane will sing two popu lar songs. If a good program appeals to the public business will surely be good at the Scenic this week. , At the Sliorwood. There will be plenty to amuse the patrons of the Sherwood. There &re several good comedy numbers, but' the greatest number, "The Vacuum Clean er." This number is really a pictorial wonder, as It shows to what perfection the film makers have attained. The film is full of tricks and makes you see things which cause you to wonder how they are created.' To attempt to explain what happens on the screen, would be to attempt the Impossible. This number must be seen to be ap preciated. The number "Grandpa's Pills," ia a good comedy, and one which will please young and old. The number on the program Is Hard to Get Arrested. There la some good good comedy in this, and some that Is not comedy. The illustrated songs are both new and catchy. perfect, give comfort, wear longes, and be easiest on he-;';pocKeboofr:;r;:;7 Then Take Your Coupons, to the Bargain Basem Supptiesioi 'Nothing it t ! i 4 Si i TheGolden - BEST STOCK.
