Though there was no pompous pa
rade and no crashing of bands to
mark the presence of Labor day, there
was, neMrtheleps, a general observ
ance of the day set aside for labor,
here. 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

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

He founds the city of Quebec, returns

12. years revisits Quebec with his
beautiful wife and la royally welcomed
by the settlers. The closing scene Is

tlful views of the city "en fete," to
gether with fluttering flags and festive
decorations and crowded with visitors
from all parts of the?- world. Including
II. R. H. ,the Prince of Wales, and
representatives of the United States,

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.
