Prices Stronger at
Government Wool Sale
lioston, March J. The la-t gov
ernment wool auction was held here
today with a large attendance. The
entire offering was sold at prices
which show generally a slight ad
vance, perhaps 5 per cent, over the
February sale, although the prices
were very irregular and difficult to
compare. The American Woolen
company was the largest individual
buyer, taking 5tC,(KlO pounds, while
ft row u and Howe of ftoston were
the second largest buyers, taking
4.11,000 pounds and Winslow & Co.,
with 401.0(H) pounds were the third
heaviest buyers.
The government has handled alto
gether, 674.157.554 pounds of wool
since the first lot was commandeered
for the wor, at a total cost of $478,
920,12.?, on which there has been a
value recovery of 85 per cent which,
according to the statement of Col.
Rolfe of the quartermasters' corps,
has not been exceeded by any other
commodity the government had
handled.

Maj. Gen. Lansing II. Beach, chief
of army engineer, addressed the
congress today and said that in his
opinion "you cannot get a better ar
gument for the waterway than the
attitude of the railroads toward
them."
"They won't prorate." he said.
"They won't isiie bills of lading.
It seems to me to he one of the
principles of modern business to put
:. competitor out of the running be
fore the consumer conies into con-
ideration. And much that has been
done hy the railroads toward the
aterways is simply the question of
eliminating a competitor in business."

To the Public Vham We Serve -
We are presenting a new play at the Rialto starting
Sunday. It is called "Just- Around the Corner1'
The story is one of those hicht because of its
fciuaan qualities, impresses itself indelibly upon the mind and'
affects the enotions by its convincingness and power.
It is a picture that has no shinmer of sills or
flash of wealth, but a picture with real human characters, that
tate fraa the heart of mankind all the big fine beautiful things
that really count, and weaves then into an hour of pure delight.
"Just Around the Comer" was written by Fannie Hurst
who wrote "Huaoresque" and is a worthy successor of that master
piece. -TJe saw it, ve lilsd it, we laughed and we cried, and
we lmow that you will do the same.
Sincerely,
Bialto Theatre

partial victory in the controversy with
the Mitjouri, Kana & Tra raiU

The eontrovery involved the terv

Truth In Advertising
When the Strand Theater Unreservedly
Endorses a Photoplay It Means
Something
Basing our opinion on that of the many people
with whom we have personally come in contact, we
feel no hesitancy in stating the Strand theater is and.
has been for many years presenting consistently the
highest type of photoplays available.
In line with this thought it is a well known fact
in film circles among those who are in a position to
know (and disregarding statements in theatrical ad
vertising), that this theater actually pays more money
consistently for its attractions than any other motion
picture theater in this state or Iowa.
Yet at the same time we always hesitate in
making extravagant promises regarding our attrac
tions, except when occasion truthfully demands, for
using such terms as "The Greatest Picture Ever
Made" and other P. T. Barnum expressions, because
Ave are not of the opinion that the American public
likes to be fooled.
Therefore when we tell you that this theater is
renting "Fool's Paradise" for more money than any
picture ever rented before in this territory, not on a
percentage arrangement, but as a straight buy, it is
a fact and not just newspaper propaganda and will
stand the strictest investigation by those who believe
in truth in advertising.
An advertiser must be careful in his statements,
as a picture that might please him and appeal to
him as being exceptional, might only please a certain
percentage of his patrons.
But we sincerely and honestly believe that "Fool's
Paradise" ranks with the very few great pictures
ever made and will be considered by many as being
the greatest. It having all the elements in its con
struction that will appeal to every person in every
walk of life and hold their attention throughout
every remarkable scene.
It is Cecil B. De Mille's greatest achievement,
surpassing the world's wildest dreams of beauty and
thrill.
Flashing as it does from the oil fields of Texas
to Siam, from squalor to grandeur, rushing on
through spectacle and splendor, piercing the inmost
secrets of human hearts.
When you have the pleasure of witnessing this
photoplay, we honestly believe you. will agree with
us that it is "The Picture of the Century."
Sincerely,
STRAND THEATER,
Harry B. Watts, Mgr.
