Friday and Saturday, at the Arcade.
In his newest photoploy, "Mr. Fix
it," Douglas Fairbanks has an unique
role which, it is said, affords so many
nrnrira n In entitle the nortrnval
ti the distinction of beinir not only one I
bf the best in which this athletic star
j!&r --hits" appeared,' bus1 one- whose
spirit is distinctly new In picture pho
tography. From the slums In' which
Mr. Fairbanks bnttles desperately with
gangsters and slides down the side of
n house on a clothesline to an artistic
home, is only a casual step in this pic
ture. It is "Mr. Fix-it's" theory that hap
piness is a habit and that real happi
ness comes to those who make other
people happy. . Inpu,ruance of this
idea, he enters the dlviIed home of
persons of great wealth aihlmillngly
proceeds' to, fix things physical and
mental, which iu his judgment'are in
need of repair. "Thatj are two pretty
vmintv women in. the 'b&rtv who, ul-
fhnmrh r.nfrnirprl to' he ndrtttied. are)
kent in hot water through fear, of
their future as the wives of tiitl
respective fiances.-
The genial heart-fixer gets busy
along original tines when he learns
the stories of the young women, and
he is involved in serious trouble by
his unique methods, which shock and .
nmaic all with whom he comes InJ
contact. Hut "Mr. Fix-It" after many;
irbuffs which sometimes jar his pet j
theory to the breaking point, emerges j
triumphant, smiling and happy. Many!
of the situations are quite humorous,
and nil who know Mr. Fairbanks'!
viilulile nature, may be sure that in '
this portrayal, it is not subordinated j
t'i other considerations.
Mr. Fairbanks is excellently sup- J
ported in "Mr. J'ix-lt" the cast includ- j

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Ate you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your grnneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class
WOO bushel portable granary for $54.08 and it will last for
years. .Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$12.r.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's cron.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor, handling and sewing sacks.
The boy in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your hoy is
ainong: tlicmj
Spftnl your money In your own valley by buying lumber
mamifaisturee) at home. 'When you buy sacks part of the
nibiicy tAfs to India.
jllL'ILD VfBi t GRANARIES NOW
Be prepared by builSng them before the farming season
opens up. iJe sure to I (rood lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give 1 7u trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber. ij .
Snve me ""t you spend at home pvevent loss
and damage "m exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; h-'Jp win tho war by building gianaries now.
Portable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. Kor particulars as well as prices on
