T
Jones of Springfield was not his wife,
but was soon to become the wife of
another man.
Jones said he would remain in
Springfield long enough to earn
money with which to continue the
quest for his wife. Jones' belief that
the Springfield woman was his wife
was based on a telegram received in
Portland by a Rose Mae Jones and
signed by "Will," of Springfield. Jones
had heard his wifA speak often of
Springfield. Mo., and expressed a de
sire to buy a farm there.
According to a statement made by
Jones to the Springfield .police his
wife took with her $1600 belonging to
her husband when she left their home
in Portland last August.

All the thrills of mvsterv and melodrama are furrtiishpi? In thi fTirA

theater this evening. The play is being produced under the personal super
vision of George M. Cohan after long rur.s in both Chicago and New York.
Mildred toouthwick and Harold v ermilye are two of the scheming and
wicked villains in the cast.
"We both look like righteous persons." said Miss Southwick. "I sup
pose we represent, the Cohanized idea of stage villains. That .genius of
the theater believes that strength and weakness, goodness and wickedness
are. first of all, in the mind. He used to say at the rehearsals, 'You -must
make the audience see you thinking.'"
Many critics have said "The Acquittal" is a masterpiece of construc
tion and have compared it favorably with "On Trial" and "Three Faces
East," both of which were presented by the firm with which Mr. Cohan
has been associated. , The story of the play deals with a family whose

To 'the man who has a pet
g store
Go to that store and ask to look at his
Society Brand Clothes. Try on until you
get the style and fit you like, which you
surely will in a matter of minutes. By fit
we mean just that not merely the proper
size.
Then remember this. Men are not
disappointed in Society Brand Suits. They
give a very interestincj satisfaction.
It is the satisfaction that comes from
knowing even before you walk in the store
that you are going to get something
you will always be glad you bought.
You have the right idea. Next to having
a banker who trusts you, there is no
better business than buying your things
from, a merchant who is worthy of all
your confidence.
If you haven't a pet clothing store, look
up the one where Society Brand Clothes
are sold.
In the first place it's a selected store.
We were attracted by the merchant and
he was attracted by the style, quality and
integrity of our clothes.
Like attracts like. That is a law.
