At the end of the second day’s selling, that started last Thursday, we had a little get-to-gether meeting at our store. Included in this meeting were some of our old customers and all of.our sales force, and never was there such a gathering, where good people of our city and country were shown appreciation because of their patience, good judgment and farsightedness and FREE buying during the first two days of our FIRST GREAT SALE HAS THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE?—Without the public’s confidence in our associates and in our store the first two days of our sale, it could not have become one of the most important clothing-selling events /that was ever inaugurated in the city. We hardly think we are mistaken when we say our store receipts were dollars-«-yes,. hundreds more than we expected to receive. You will always find that our store will maintain as our gQverning principles, TRUTH and FAIR DEALING-—that together with buying and selling none but the best clothing and furnishing for men, young men and boys at prices in keeping and matching the best stores of our state—our policy has always been "Sell to Others As You Would Buy for Yourself.” - Good merchants make small profits and many sales—deal fairly—BE PATIENT—and in time your dishonest competitors will crowd your store with customers. \ There are greater compensations for the day’s work than financial returns—we prefer to retain our old customers and to make new ones every day. This “DECIDEDLY DIFFERENT” SALE continues for 12 days more, and we will Strive every moment, every hour of this sale to show cour tesy and values that can’t be matched at this season of the year, no matter where you may visit. While, perhaps, some of the good people of our city and surrounding sections were disappointed and couldn’t get waited on through the large crowds buying in such liberal quantities, we can assure every man and woman to be prepared for a greater number of people to visit this sale and the values in the newest styles and highest qualities will prove deserving of our store being the chief clothing shopping center in our port of the state, and the most liberally patronized institution for 100 miles around.

"Dr. Parker, who was formerly sec retary of the United States Interde partmental Social Hygiene Board, has had long experience in social work,” reads the announcement.” She has not been in regular medical practice since her marriage in 1905.

Josephus Daniels was secretary of the navy when Dr. Parker was executive officer.

Peggy Lewis Lanier has filed suit for $50,000 damages. ALICE BRADY IN “THE KNIFE” "The Knife,” Alice Brady’s current production, directed by Robert G. Vig nola, contains a jtumber of highly sensational situations. Picture for yoursel# a prominent attorney, a fa mous surgeon and other law-abiding friends of the kidnaped heroine, com mitting burglary and unlawful entry to resoue her from th,e den of the white slavers, overpowering them, and then extorting their confessions “un der cover,” and compounding a felony by giving the villains immunity from legal prosecution, but Inflicting an ad equate punishment nevertheless—and all ths is done for the ultimate benefit of society, but directly against the law. Why? How? What? See the picture at the Royal today, and get the answers. ' “LORNA DOONE” "Speed, pep and thrill” is the de mand Of the American amusement seeker, according to motion picture producers, who claim that the modern mania for "something with a kick in it” is responsible for the growing number of melodramatic films which are on the market. , To satisfy this youthful demand and at the. same time please the critic and the educator 'who want substance as well as excitement, Maurice Tourneur tias developed a ’special field of film production in which Ite stands pre eminent. He has screened a number of classical novels and plays which not only supply the necessary thrills but are master works of artistry. Even lovelier than "Bluebird” or "Treasure Island” is Tourneur’s last production of ‘.’Lorna Doone,” playing at the Grand. From romance hb has evolved a picture that ranks with any , great spectacular play of the ’year.! / While retaining all the classic beauty of the Devon moors where the story is laid, he has reproduced the count less exciting episodes of the famous novel in a fashion to make any youth ful fan sigh with complete satisfac tion. Both story and picture are replete with romance and action. In the film the incidents, when visualized, become even more enthralling. When John Ridd goes over-the falls of the Bags worthy river through swirling, roar ing waters into the whirlpool below to save the lovely “Lorna" from a fate worse than death, there is breath less suspense as he fights his way out of the water. Follows one of the greatest hand to hand fights ever screened; sumptuous scenes from the London court; the burning of the out law’s village and the shooting, of Lorna as she stands at the altar. Ac tion never flags. “THE DANGEROUS AGE” There seems to be some question as to just what is the dangerous age, but that spring is its prbper settlpg is conceded generally. Following that theory, John M. Stahl chose this ro mantic season as the ■ background for his production, "The Dangerous Age,” which is coming to the Grand theater Monday as 4 First National attrac tion. Spring, according to good au thorities, is the time at which* little Dan Cupid is at his best, and then, too the disturers of domestic bliss are said to get in their most effective work. : In “The Dangerous Age,” a highly dramatic tale, the main victims of spring’s period of unrest are John and Mary, two regular,' noripal per sons,-
