DON'T MISS THIS WONDERFUL DEMONSTRATION at Old age pension blanks were dis tributed yesterday. In large numbers, by the county court and acorea of the blanks were sent out by msll today and yesterday. Many of the appll canta called In person.. Accompanying the applications were a list of questiona and answers de signed to aid in filling out the blanks. All pertinent facta pertaining to ths old age pension law are explained. A letter atatlng the county court'a posi tion waa also sent. The applications contain close to 100 queries, and friends of the appli cants making out the blanks. High points of the pension law, as revealed In the explanation sheets are: "What condition Is the Old Age Pension Commission directed to con sider? Existence of relatives or other persons who are reaponslble and able to help. The possession of property by the applicant; any and all Income the applicant may have so Indicated by actual Income during the twelve months preceding the application: or. In general, that a pension Is needed. "Is there any other provision for recovery of pension payments by the county? Yes. If, on tha death of a pensioner, it is found that he was possessed with property or Income In excess of the amount allowed by law, In respect to the amount of the pen alon, double the total amount of the pension In excess of that to which the recipient wss by law entitled may be recovered by the board as a pre ferred claim from his estate, and paid Into the treasury of the county. If, after being granted a pension, a per son receives property or Income which changes the amount of the pension to which he is eligible, any excess psyments made shall be recoverable aa a debt to the county." The letter of the county court la as follows: "To Applicants for the Old Age Pension: "The 1B33 session of the state legis lature passed a bill for old age pen sions, but fslled to provide any funds for its payment. It was left entirely to the counties and most of the counties are unable, on account of the conatltutlonal six per cent limita tion, to levy an amount which would raise sufficient funds for this pur pose. Jackson county was unable, for this reason, to levy more than S5000, and we estimate that It would take 180.000 to provide pensions as contemplated by this law. "We wish alt applicants to know exactly what the altuatlon is in order that they may not be disappointed In this matter. It Is entirely beyond the power of the county court to change the situation In thla regard. We had hoped that the special session of the legislature would change the bill so that the state would provide state funda for the payment of these pensions, but It fslled to do so. "We suggest that you fill out the applications as contemplated by law, as it will then be possible to act upon them at such time as there may be provided funds for this purpose.

Sally Eilers In Double Bill For Rialto Audience "Wals of Gold," based on the novel of the same name by Kathleen Nor rls, plays at the Rialto theater to morrow and Saturday. Sally Eilers, Norman Foster and Ralph Morgan are featured. On the same program Charlie Ruggles, Lionel Atwlli and Kathleen Burke, remembered as the "Panther Woman," are featured In "Murders In the Zoo," a mystery thriller that Is said to make the shivers play "Kit ten on the Keys" along one's spine. Tha story of "Walls of Gold" deals with the problem of a young beauti ful girl who must choose between love and the comforts of wealth. From the searching pen of Mrs. Nor ris comes a character that- Sally Eilers plays to perfection. It gives her every opportunity to display her truly fine talent for dramatic roles. Norman Foster, cast In the masculine lead opposite her, again proves him self as worthy as he was in the role of her lover In "State Fair." Ralph Morgan, In the part of a middle-aged romantic, with doubtful ethics and peculiar artistic tastes, Is superb.
