I The Ides o f November I will be here shortly at which time either Mr. Harding or Mr. Cox will be elected president of these United States. It make no difference phys ically. morally and finan cially to the average re publican or democrat which is elected, but he thinks so and there’s a whole lot in having faith Many a brother and sis ter votes the same I old ticket year in and year out without getting any where but always hop ing. and its very stimu lating to have pleasant dreams. A heart play o f two brothers, and howr the stronger freedi from prison, comes back to be his brother’s keeper. A powerful drama of a man battering his way against tremendous odds, but who keeps the faith— and wins. A drama that stirs your deepest feelings. One that will make the town talk. One you will long remember as every foot teems with the call o f humanity. NTOKBER Mi I j THE P ILL B O X SUGGESTS THAT A BASH FUL YOUNG MAN TROT TO MR.
