XKW YEARS GREETINGS
If you haven't been wearing ear
m tiffs for the past several weeks you
mubt have heard a lot of talk about
the wonderful pictures being shown
at the BIJou. There's a reason.
For one thing we have secured
the best photoplays that are on the
market. For another thing we have
the best, steadiest projection pos
sible to be obtained. There Is no
eye strain, no fatigue in BIJou pic
tures. A fault finder can't find
very much to hla liking at the Bijou.
We please only those who want the
very best.
We are happy this week as we
have secured for the year 1918 the
entire output of the Art Craft. Para
mount and Triangle pictures, as
there are none better, which will
please every one who wants to see
good pictures. Selecting pictures to
please all the people Is some Job.
If it wern't for the people who tell
ns, as they pass out each night,
"there'a what I call a real picture."
"best thing you ever had." I don't
Iknow what I would do.
We hope that every patron of the
Bijou feels that we are trying to
pick the best pictures on the mar
ket and the ones that will please.
We want you to feel that any night
you come to the BIJou you will be
entertained and enjoy yourself.
Don't forget to tell us when yon
pass out if you like the show. .See
ing a good picture is like reading a
book that cost you one dollar for
20 cents.
Ton also help the boys at the
front as we pay the war tax.
In closing we wish our patrons
and all a happy and prosperous new
year.

WORRY AND ILLNESS
LEAD 10 A SUICIDE
Wlllaid Meals, a well known resi
dent of this count, committed sui
cide by shooting himself In the fine-
head with a rifle about 7 o'cloii
Sunday morning.
Meals was 'one of the Mcalii Urns
who had lived for a number of years
on a ranch between the ferry and
Merlin. He had later lived In this
city where he was employed as
watchman at the old Warren box
factory, During his stay here, he
and his brother had lived together.
A long spell of seml-lllness had
led him Into a thoroughly discour
aged condition. He was worrying
somewhat about a matter of certain
machinery which was stored In the
factory and the owners or which had
requested permission to remove.
Meala had refused to . permit this
without specific Instructions from
his employers. A telegram was re
ceived only a few hours after he
committed the rash act, giving such
permission.
Meals had risen apparently as
usual Sunday morning, but soon af
ter left the front door with his rifle
In his hands. 'As he stepped off the
porch, he dropped a note addressed
to his "brother telling of his Inten
tion to shoot himself and asking his
brother's forgiveness for his step,
