"The House of the Golden Windows,"
shcA)lng at tho Keith Saturday night
has as its stars Cleo Rldgloy, Wallace

founded on an old fairy talo of two
children Iwtho climbed from their llttlo
cottago to the house on the hill only
to discover that tho golden windows
wore but tho sun shining on broken
window panes, and looking back they
could see tho samo golden effect on
tho panes of the window in their own
humble homo. Tho story is a modern
version of this old fairy talo and the
scones are laid in the green flolds
of California and show In a striking
manner how true happiness is really at
one's own fireside.

THE GREATEST
FERTILIZER
Money, when needed, is the great
est fertilizer in the world. It en
ables the farmer to obtain what he
actually needs for the profitable
development of his business.
No progressive farmer would
think of farming without fertile soil.
No more should he think of doing
without sufficient ready money for
farm development.
