Miss Chatterton’s first all-talking screen appearance was in “The Doc tor’s Secret.” Then followed in quick succession several other hits and now “Sarah and Son,” which will be seen and heard at the Rcfyal Theatre Sun day and Monday, June 8th and 9th. “Surah and Son” is a story of mother love, showing the deep love of a struggling singer for her baby boy and her tragic pain when her worthless husband steals the child. It shows her mother love frustrat ed and repressed, only to be revived when operatic success gives her the position to renew the search for her boy. In the end it shows her finding him, in a reunion shared by the man she loves and can now marry. As the central starring figure, has distinguished all her work before S a ra h , Miss Chatterton performs with the same brilliant artistry that the camera and microphone. Frederic March is her leading man in the pic ture. I'hillipe de Lacy, little French war orphan, plays the part of her son. Others in the cast are Fuller Mellish, Jr., of “Applause” villainy fame; Oilbyrt Emory, Doris Lloyd and William Stack. ri-KASANT VALLEY ITEMS (Received Last Week) Russell Fink visited Thursday with his brother,'George Fink.

Simmons of the Sixth Nebraska district is lated for a promotion in the com mittee organization of the lower house of Congress, according to the Washington Post. Congressman Sim mons has been chairman of the Dis trict of Columbia subcommittee of the appropriations committee. He is to be advanced to the chairmanship of the subcommittee that handles the department of agriculture’s appro priation bill, a post that he is said to have coveted for a long time. The Washington Post comments as follows: “A man of tremendous energy, Mr. Simmons probably has worked hard r on the district appropriations bill than any man who ever held the ,'iairmanship of his subcommittee. And yet there is no question but that his task has been a thankless one. The local achievement of which he perhaps is most proud is his work to ward establishing a municipal center here, an area in which will be group ed all the buildings to house the dis trict government.” PLANTS FOR SALE Our Cabbage, Cauliflower and Sweet Potato plants are now ready. —Lewis Kopecky, Inman. 50tf RABBITS FOR SALE A few good gray does, bred or open; reasonable; also young does and bucks; visitors welcome any time.—Mitchell Rabbitry, O’Neill. 4If The Frontier $2.00 per year. IfRAfflC ~ STOP SIGNS IN CITY AND COUNTRY Twenty five per cent of the cases of collision between a railroad train and an automobile, according to the last survey, were caused by the automobile running at full speed into the side cf the train. Regardless of other forms of warning, at every cross road in the got every accident was a sign lug in black upon a white sur , Ip letters approximately ten es nigh, the word STOP. In cities and towns, it is now cus tomary for the police regulations to call for the placing of a similar $TOP sign at all roads intersecting main arteries. The same precaution that is used for a railroad crossing is employed for protection at an express motor highway. It has been found that motorists almost invariably obey these signs, whether an officer is present or not, many of them actually stopping and changing to first gear, others prac tically coming to a stand still, and *11 appreciably lowering the speed to less than an average of eight miles an hour. Police drives con centrated on violation of this par ticular regulation have helped to impress the motorist of the import ance of the measure. 4 Why will the motorist obey the STOP sign in the city and not in the country? <4 It is possible that since motorists are actually arrested for the viola tion of the city regulation and rarely if ever for the ignoring of the rail road crossing warning, we have the answer, < The warning STOP or FULL STOP in the city is looked upon as something to be obeyed along with other well known traffic regu lations. The STOP sign at the railroad crossing is looked upon merely as a warning, for personal safety, which pan be heeded or un heeded as the driver desires. Only when operators of motor vehicles regard the railroad crossing STOP sign as a law, which they will obey, can this particular twenty five per cent of the death toll be lowered. EGGS AND POULTRY !
