FINAL SCREENING OF "THE COVERED WAGGON."

The late President Harding paid this unusual compliment to "The--Covered Waggon": -'Not very long ago- ■-. - I saw 'The Covered Waggon' in the moving picture. I sat entranced. There was more than the picturesque, more than sorrow and discouragement, more ; than appealing characters and enthralling heroism. There was more? than the revelation of the irresolute, who failed in fitness to survive; more than tragedy and comedy in their inseparable blend. "There was more than the scouts who surpass our fancies; more than nature's relentless barriers revealed. Everywhere aflame was the soul of unalterable purpose and commanding sturdiness oi elemental greatness. Much of the same spirit was revealed in the making of the Central West, where the determined pioneers--builded the confidence which they had in themselves. In this test of selfreliant citizenship there came theragged, the militant, wholesome West.'?Patrons are advised to book early. Box plan at Mrs Cook's Everybody's' Sweet. Store.
