WORDS FROM HOME. Statements That May Be Investigated Testimony of Loup City Citizens. When a Limp City cftizen comes to the front, telling his friends and to ghbors of his experience, you can rely un his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Heine endorsement is the kind that bucks Moan's Kidney Pills. Such tes tintony is convincing. Investigation proves jt true Relow is a statement of a Loup City rcsindci f. No stronger proof of merit can be li id.

Take me back to old Kentucky. Where the Crystal waters glint As they dance along their borders. Thro the fragrant beds of mint; Where the lasses and the horses Are but terms of grace and speed. And the whiskey and the statesmen Both are noted for their ‘•bead". Take me back to old Kentucky, Where the strong waters flow so free. I Where they cool off in the summer | 'Xeath the spreading julip tree; ; Where the highball and the low balls i Always hit the center square. I And you never have next morning | Hheumatism in your hair. Take me back to old Kentucky, Where the blue grass decks the hills Where they have no use for water Safe for operating mills; For they scorn it as a beverage On that dark and bloody ground. As they claim e’re since the deluge That it tastes of sinners drowned. Take me back to old Kentucky, To the state*where 1 was born. Where the corn is full of kernels. And the Colonels full of corn; Where to disapprove that beverage U to toy with certain death. And they have a bonded warehouse Where they barrel up their breath. Take me back to old Kentucky. Let me^iear the fifties pop; See the pigs and politicians With their snouts eye deep in slop. Take me back to her blue mountains Where they argue points with lead. But you need not rush the matter. Take me back when 1 am dead. —Selected. Director Turner is godfather of film actors. Kindness to all has gained him title of “Grand Old Man” of the movies. Otis Turner, the director whose first picture for William Fox is “The Mediator,” is known as the “grand old man” of the films. Turner is the fairy godfather (if there is such a thing) of all the players who have worked under him. and he holds this place without rival in the moving-pic ture world. Just after the director started the taking of "The Mediator,” a little woman called on him at his office, told her story, and proceeded to faint. Mr. Turner promptly summoned his automobile placed the woman in the tonneau, and broke all records for a dash to the hospital. Here, he got a room for the patient, summoned ex pert advice, told the nurse to have all hills sent to him and hurried back to his work and his office “Who was the woman?” A friend asked Otis Turner., “1 dont know” answered the director, smiling; “she worked for me in a picture years ago. I’ve forgotten her name; she had quite a small part. But she’ll have to be taken care of.” That is why the photoplay world loves Otis Turner. Opera house Saturday night.
