A year ago when the government requested everyone to raise a pig to reduce the high cost of living, Mr. Smith fell in line and bought his pig. His order to return east placed him in a predicament as what to do with his pig. He wanted his bacon he wanted it badly, and he had it, but how to keep it was the question. The Pullman company wouldn't let him take it with him, and there wasn't enough of it to fill a stock car. Finally he figured the price of bacon east and west, then expressed it, and now- to "break even" he has to raise more bacon. j Moon Bessie Barriscale givfs another proof of her versatility as "Kitty Kelly, M. D.," the photo-picture now being shown at the Moon theater. Heretofore Miss Barriscale has specialized in society dramas, but in "Kitty Kelly, M.

Upon her entrance in the town a young mining foreman becomes af flicted with a acute case of heart trouble, while the miners in gen eral fall heir to numerous other complaints, keeping Kitty busy dis pensing pills and Bevo. Miss Bar riscale scintillates in her inimitable way in the humorous episodes, and rises to great dramatic heights in the dramatic moments. . The pic ture will be shown up to and in cluding Saturday. . Rialto An unusually striking scene is shown in the photoplay, "Back to God's Country, which is having a big run at the Rialto thea ter. It is a Scene in the deep for ests of northern Canada with a blizzard raging. It shows the ter rific efforts of a man with a dog sled trying to make his way through the unbroken drifts. Another scene of unusual interest is a midnight dance given by a mmber of Es quimaux squaws on board a shin frozen in the ice. The picture will be shown fq the last times today. Sun The story of the overwhelm ing love of a misguided girl for all humanity is told in words of dra matic emphasis in "The Right to Happiness," a big eight-reel pro duction being shown at the Sun theater this week.

Stuart Blackton is showing today and for the remainder of the week, at the Empress theater. It is "The Moonshine Trail," co-starring Sylvia Brrainer and Robert Gordon, who were last seen to gether in "Missing." also a Black ton feature. "The Moonshine Trail" depicts the romance of a moonshiner's daughter and a young city chap. Strand Would you leave home? Smith did. If you want to see a motion picture that requires nothing on your part but a desire to laugh you shouldn't miss seeing Bryant Washburn, starring in "Why Smith Left Home," showing today and the balance of the week at the Strand theater. Lois Wilson. Mr. Wash burn's leading woman, helps a lot with the fun making, and others in the cast are above the average. If you are afflicted with the blues, go see the picture; if you have a de sire to live longer, see the picture.

Years' of "Talk about carrying coal to New castle," said J. Simon of Simon Bros, company, "did you know that Hart brand fruits and vegetables are featured in Los Angeles' best retail grocery stores as being in a class by themselves?" E. S. Frey, who has charge of Simon Brothers' booth at the food show, was the man that introduced Michiean fruits and vegetables into sunny California, which is hailed as America s greatest truit state. Can for can, and fruit for fruit, the Hart brand was put beside that of the best California brands handled by Javany's fancy grocery, and as a result Hart brand entered California for the first time. The California shipments of Hart brand last year were over 20 'cars. The fruits and vegetables sold under Hart brand are all raised within evening wind reach of Lake Michi gan, and thousands of acres of peas, beans, tomatoes and other vege tables are raised for this one con cern. Needless to say, from planting to the factory is all done under the supervision of trained specialists, only the selected best being used under the Hart brand. The Simon booth at the food show offers a real school for house problem students.
