ing the special 15 day doe hunting sea_

FOX “ME, GANGSTER”
TO BE SHOWN HERE
The Fox Film, “Me, Gangster,”
based on the Charles Francis Coe
serial in The Saturday Evening
Post, will be shown at the Grand
theatre, tonight, Thursday, and to-
morrow night, Friday. “Me, Gang-
ster,” essentially, is the oft-told
story of the boy who lacked paren-
tal influence, who was allowed to
run wild in his boyhood days and
who, naturally, travelled the wrong
road in his adolescence and young
manhood. More than all else, “Me,
Gangster” is a warning to parents
as to the training of their offspring.
It was directed by Raoul Walsh.
Don Terry, playing a lead in his
first motion picture, is said to be a
revalation. June Collyer gives a
truly inspired portrayal, while the
supporting cast is the finest ever
assembled for one picture.

Chest Township Residents Escape from
Structure; Saving Nothing But

A fire, which was discovered about
9 o'clock last Thursday evening, com.
pletely destroyed the farm home of Mr.
and Mrs. M. E. Swope, of Chest town-
ship, on the road between Patton and
St. Lawrence. The fire likely was caus-
ed by a defective flue.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Swope were
in the building at the time, the flames
which originated in a room at the rear
of the house, had gained such headway
before discovered that they had some
difficulty in rescuing the children who
were in bed, due to the extensive
volume of smoke that invested the up-
per rooms of the house. All of the
household goods were destroyed with
the building, and the Swope’s were only
able to salvage a few articles of clo-
thing before driven from the interior.
Mr. Swope had no insurance on his
household goods. Due to the fact that
the fire has handicapped him, he is
offering at public sale all his farm e-
quipment and livestock on Saturday of
this week, notice of which appears in
another column.

SCHWAB SAYS PROSPERITY
BASED ON HIGH WAGES
National proseperity depends on as-
suring the workingman’s protection in
a high scale of wages, Charles M. Sch.
wab told the Association of Life In-
surance Presidents at its annual con-
vention in New York during the week.
“We in this country are enjoying an
unprecedented era of prosperity. We
have every reason to look forward to
the realization of ever increasing
heights of material welfare and pro-
gress. But heads of business and all
interests in the continuation of our
prosperity should study carefully the
elements by which this prosperity has
| been produced. When they do, I think
that they will find that not the least of
these elements has been the assurance
of high wages to the workingman and
the encouragement of his participating
{by ownership in the enterprise in which
he is related. To conserve our prosper-
ity, therefore, we must, above all else,
conserve the welfare of the working-
man and assur his protection on a
| high scale of wages and a high stand-
ard of living.”
| JOHN POLLACK.
{| John Pollack, four year old son af
| Mrs. Anna Pollack, of Barnesboro, died
{of pneumonia on Tuesday evening at
the Spangler hospital. He is survived
| by his mother and several brothers and
sisters.
