Hugh Bettis Has _
* Car To Disappear
Hr. Hugh Bettis, of the good city j
1 '■ Shelby owns a Ford. That is, he
owned one up to Thursday morning,;
!,n'l after Thursday morning he own-j
*'<i one. But meantime—and it was
a very mean time—he didn’t think he
(|id. In fact he was sure he didn't.
At noon Thursday he walked out of
the store, to get intothe Ford as is his
custom to go home to dinner. But alas
there was no Ford. Like a bird perch
ch on a fence, it had flown; was
cion gone.
His friends told him timy thought
ce was mistaken; that he didn’t drive
(he ear down town Thursday morn
’"k. But running his hand in is poek
e! he produced the key. In a high fal
s*'tto voice, he shouted, “But here’s
the key, here’s the key!”
I he sheriff was notified; the police;
I fiends here and there. Alas the Ford
v as gone.
A search was instituted, and the
^islaid flivver found in a garage on
* oi’th LaFayette street to which Mr.
>ettis had taken it in the morning to
have a tire repaired.
Now if you want u come-back just
R° up and ask the gentleman who
stole his car.

THEATRES
The week-end for the Princess will
l e notable. Lon CHhney appears there
Irida.v (today) and Charlie Chaplin
tomorrow. The Chaney vehicle is “The
lower of Lies.” It is one of the very
best pictures of the time. Chaney as a
character actor ranks with the first
two or three at the top of the ladder.
His work has been found highly pleas
ing to Shelby audiences.
Charlie Chaplin’s "Cold Rush” at
the Princess Saturday and Monday is
amongst the first half dozen most dis
cussed pictures of the year. It is said
to be the great comedian’s supreme
effort. It is a picture combining
pathos and mirth. You laugh and cry,
as you follow the little fellow through
his adventures in the gold fields.
I he Yv ebb theatre is showing again
today, for the second days run, Leon
Errol, in “Clothes Make the Pirate,”
1 he [ ict are conies to Shelby highly
commended by audiences and critics,
and it proved highly pleasing to the
local theater fans. It is a farce, ex
cruciatingly funny, showing Errol at
hi host: The plot harks back to the
old days of light opera. A genuinely
tine ente. tnii.ment. And the accom
panying comedy is a gem.
Tomorrow, Saturday at Webbs, a
Western is coming, with that versatile
hero. Buddy Roosevelt, in the leading
role. The Webb offers a very full bill
on Saturdays, including the main pic
ture, also a comedy and Fables. These
Fables are little classics of-the the
screen, and add a very pleasing touch
to the program.
Lutheran Church of the Ascension.
Every Sunday morning at 10 o’clock
an interested group may lie found in
the auditorium of the South LaFay
efto school building, studying the
Word of God, and applying it to prac

On the second and fourth Sundays
preaching services are held, morning
and night.
We are always glad to have visit
ing friends at all our services, and
believe they will always be pleased
and benefited by such a visit.
On next Sunday, the theme for the
morning worship is, “Faith,” and at
night “Success.”
The young people are asked to

J. C. PENNEY CO.’S NEW
i BUILDING IN NEW YORK
A MODERN STRUCTURE
A handsome structural testi
monial to the many-sided efficacy
of the chain store system of buy
ing and selling was realized when
on January second, the J. C. Pen
ney Company ntdvecj its home
offices and warehouses under the
one root' of its new ?i.7 50,000
building at 330 West 3 41ti Street,
New York.
The onward course of this
chain has been minutely observed
because of the fact that it is or
ganized on a basis that is unique
in the annala of"swircantilc pur
suit. In occupying its new, modern,
13-story building in the heart o{
New York, it reaches an event in
its history of signal and lasting
importance.
The remarkable growth of the
organization particularly during
the last five years, has demanded
larger, better and more central
ized offices and warehouse. This
new building fulfills those requira
mcnts.
It is fireproof throughout »nd
equipped with the latest facilities
for handling the enormous quanti
ties of goods which will he dis
tributed from the budding to tb*
676 stores of the institution.
— PRINCESS PROGRAM —
—FRIDAY—
The great Lon Chaney is coming in one
of the most talked of films of the time
“The Tower Of Liee”
Chaney is one of the very foremost of the
screen’s character actors, well known to
Shelby audiences. He was seen here late
ly in “The Unholy Three.”
—AND SATURDAY—
Brings Chaplin in
‘THE GOLD RUSH”
Chaplin never made a greater picture than
this. Laughter, tears, < dv, tragedy—
the great play touch-, s the emotions as per
haps a screen production never did before.
If you would see 1 hr.' • " ..tv.: t picture of the
day, come to ‘Th (- del Rush.”
No Extra Charge.
—WEBB THEATRE—
—FRIDAY—TONIGHT—
The second night of “CLOTHES MAKE THE
PIRATE.” We booked this comedy for a two day’s run
because we recognized it to be the best piece of work of
its kind now on the screen. We believed Leon Errol to
be without a pear as an entertainer in light comedy
roles. And our judgment was vindicated. The audiences
yesterday afternoon and last night were enthusiastic
over the piece, and generally proclaimed it to be one of
the best production ever seen at the theatre. Come and
see it tonight and enjoy a side splitting laugh. .
The comedy shown with it is also one of the best
we ever exhibited.
The two together constitute a very fine show.
—SATURDAY—
Brings a Western—full of action and thrills. Buddy
Roosevelt in “GOLD AND GRIT.” This is a very good
picture of its kind, amusing, entertaining, dramatic.
Also a good comedy and Fables.
A full program, full of laughs and high spots—
15 and 25 Cents.
PLAYING WITH j
MONEY !
The most expensive sport in America
today is speculating1 with hard earned
money.
A billion dollars was actually lost last
year in fake schemes.
It wasn’t all lost in oil wells either.
A lot of it was lost in real estate, which
most people regard as one of the soundest
investments.
REMEMBER . A real estate speeu- j
1 at ion is a;, 1 ad as a dry oil w ell if you lose i
your money. S
And you will lose unless the property
you buy is worth what you pay for it.
There is a way to determine the real
value of a piece of property—even in a
boom.
The man who puts his money into real
estate without trying to find out the real
value invites disaster.
Before you go into wild-cat specula
tion, come into this bank and talk it over
with us.

WE KNOW IT ISN’T
EASY
Banks always tell people to save—
As if forming- the savings habit were
like pressing a button.
It is hard work to save:—
At first.
In fact it never becomes exactly easy
to save.
But, with every hundred dollars sav
ed. we find our desire for extravagance
becoming less intense.
We take more and more pleasure in
seeing the balance grow.
And we learn and practice new eco
nomics.
To that extent it becomes easier.
Bankers know it isn’t easy to save. If
they themselves have accumulated money,
most of them did it by saving and wisely
investing.
It pays to save. The savings depart
ments of our banks (including branches)
pay four per cent interest on savings, com"
pounded each three months. Our interest,
alone, will double your savings in seven
teen years and a half.
