Go and sec this Wonderful Photo-Play to Appear at Sherry's Theatre Tonight. ' At mAy own private and personal expense, I have brought to this, town one of the greatest picture-plays that has ever been produced. i u , i ... i. 1 V l For years, I have been waiting and hoping for some book, or play, or sermon that would make clear the powerful lesson that this'picture shows. It is a lesson that means greater success business success, social success, personal success to every man who will take it home to him-' self and apply it in his daily living. - . I brought this picture to Sherry's because I believe that evry red-corpuscled American man . who sees it can reap a profit from it and become abigger man through it and I want to do my share to get it before as many folks right here at home as I can. It has helped me I want you , to enjoy its help too. v , " I am not going to spoil your enjoyment, your "thrill '' and your excitement by telling you here what the story is. ; Wait and enjoy the surprise for yourself. I'm simply going to go on record with the statement that it will grip you from the first ex posure to the last scene and make you say a hundred times "Why wasn't that picture ever thought of before?" Men have lost untold opportunities; have sacrificed dearest ambitions; have handicapped the hopes of years, purely and solely through a lack of the knowledge that this picture vividly and dramatically imparts. ,... . . : ..' Men have euchred themselves out of big business gains, have closed the doors to countless success chances, have defeated themselves, not only in business, but in politics, in society YES, EVEN IN LOVE because they never studied and mastered the lesson that this picture makes clear to them.

Is Confident He Can Master Ben Jackson In Next Encounter. Ed Warner, once of La Grande, now of Walla Walla, passed through the county seat this morning on No. 10 on his way to Baker to witness a wrestling match between Burke and Christiansen. In speaking of his re cent contest with the pride of Dayton, Washington, Ben Jackson, Warner had this to say: "Jackson is greatly overrated and I think I will have no trouble in put ting his shoulders to the mat in our next encounter. He has worlds of insist that he wrestle me to a finish to settle the question whether he is my superior or not, and I think we will come together on the I5th of Novem ber at Dayton, Wash. I am on my way to challenge the winner in the match there tonight I wbb never in better trim in my life.' Tell the boys you saw me and say hello." Warner certainly looks the part.
