2.0
| ADDITIONAL BOXES TO
HANDLE BALLOTS
Because of the unusual size of the
ballot that will be used in the approa-
ching general election, November 6th,
the county commissioners decided on
Mcenday that they would be under the
| necessity of furnishing two ballot box-
es to a number of districts in the coun-
ty, and in some cases, three boxes may
be needed.
The official ballot, will be about 25
by 38 inches in size. The size of the
ballot is caused by the presence on it
of 14 proposed amendments to the
state constitution and the listing of el-
ectors on all presidential tickets.
The commissioners are considering
plans of obtaining a sufficient number
of ballot boxes to supply all the dis-
tricts. In some precincts only one box
will be necessary.

PATTON GIRL
SCOUTS ARE DOING JUST NOW
The girl scouts after having gotten
permission from Mr, Krise, left for the
spring about 11:30 on Saturday morn-
ing. They were accompanied by Miss
Whitehead, Mrs. Kelly and the Cap-
tain.
We built three fires not far from the
spring. Each patrol had a fire and one
member of each patrol with Mrs. Kel-
ly, had the third fire.
We cooked our dinner, which was
very good. After we had eaten, we ex-
tinguished all the fires, scoured the
utensils, and then played several in-
teresting out of door games, including
signalling. After spending several hours
at the spring we packed our knap-
| sacks and started for home.
We returned home a shorter but a
more interesting way, through the
woods. We collected a large number of
leaves, insects, seeds and plants.
The woodlands are very beautiful at
this time of year and all the girls en- |
joyed the outing very much.
On our way home we also passed the
{ Company Spring near the Boy Scouts
Council Ring. We were very much in-
terested in this and we all agr
it looked fine. We took special notice

‘SORRELL AND SON
COMING TO GRAND
H. B. Warner Plays His First
Big Part Since Filming of
“King of Kings.”
“Sorrell and Son,” has been acclaim-
ed everywhere it has been shown as
one of the finest, if not the very fin-
est, pictures produced during the past
five years.
Don’t miss “Sorrell and Son.”
The long awaited screen version of
that novel of father and son devotion
which has been read by hundreds of
thousands of readers throughout the
world, will be shown at the Grand
theatre, this place, on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of next week and
it is easily ranked among the year’s
five best pictures. In many ways it is
the most absorbing achievement ihn
cinema realism ever made.
Brilliant direction, acting so real that
the eminent players seem to be living
their roles, fine settings—including his- =
toric spots in England, where much of
the story was filmed—and flawless
photography combine to create what is
nearly the ultimate in entertainment.
H. B. Warner, playing his first part
since “The King of Kings,” Anna Q.
Nilsson, Alice Joyce, Nils Aster, Car-
mel Myers, Mary Nolan, Norman Tre-
vor, Betsy Ann Hisle, are some of the
artists who share honors in the pictur-
ization of Warwick’s Deeping’s novel.
“Sorrell and Son” is the story of fa-
ther love and devotion, a story of
England during the post war period.
When heroes came home only to. find
their peace time jobs appropriated by
stay-at-homes, and facing the necess-
ity of working in the most menial of
tasks to support themselves’ and their
families.
“Captain Stephen Sorrell” was one of
these heroes; not only was his job gone
when he returned to London after the
Armistice, but his wife was faithless.
Left with his young son as his wife de-
Jserts him for a wealthy pnofiteer,
“Sorrell’ works as a hotel porter in or-
der to educate the lad and give him a
chance in life.
