"DAMAGED GOODS.” Story of Interesting Drama at the Rex Theater Next Tuesday. "Damaged Goods,” tho remarkable drama which has now been put into motion pictures only saw tho light of day after a desperate fight for its production. Richard Bennett, the actor, who starred hi and put on the stage production and who now appears in tho motion pictures, played :> role of heroism in behalf of humanity when he set out to got the play produced. If he had not won, the pictures could not be seen today. Mr. Bennett chanced to overhear a conversation in a Broadway case one day three years ago. Two diners were discussing a strange play by Eugene Brieux. a French dramatist of note. What Bennett heard led him to getand read the book. He became inspired with the moral lesson and the power of the story. He determined to put it on the stage. It was a long heartbreaking fight that followed. He met obstacles at every step. Two theaters were promised him and then refused when the nature of the startling play was Iqarned. He tried to put it on at a hotel and was turned down. Actors and actresses deserted him. But pa- | Hence and work triumphed. At last he got a theater. The world knows what happened then. The country was swept with a sensation. Men and women fought to get into the playhouse to see this daring impeachment of the stage. The veil of secrecy about the great disease scourge of the race was torn away and the truth was told openly, publicly, frankly for the first time. Bennett not only won his fight for his worthy purpose, but he won a big material success as well. At last reports Mr. Bennett had derived no less than $400,000 in profits from his production and he is still collecting royalties. “Damaged Goods” in a seven reel mutual special feature photoplay featuring Mr. Bennett and his original Broadway cast of the speaking stage production will be shown here at the Rex theater on Tuesday, March 28 First show at 10 a. m; then continu ous throughout tho day.

... There Are More Acres Plowed By Avery Tractors and Plows than By Any Other Make. It has been proven by owners that Tractor Farming with Avery Out-> fits means bigger crops, less expense and easier work. Also that being made In seven sizes from a small one plow outfit to a large eight and ten-plow outfit Avery tractors and plows make tractor farming a success on any! size farm. That’s the reason why more acres are plowed each year by Avery tractors and plows than by any other make. Avery tractors are also leaders in design and construction. They are built right and guaranteed by a company owning their own factory and many branch houses. They have low speed, strong opposed motors. They have a special sliding framg transmission with two speeds, both of which are in direct drive. The speed of an Avery tractor also is where it should be—ln the gears and not in the motor. Furthermore the cylinders have removable inner walls which can be easily removed and replaced at little expense. Learn What Tractor Farming Will Do For You The 1916 Avery tractor and plow catalog tells all the facts about tractor farming and will show you what power farming will do for you. It tells about all kinds of tractor design and construction, and gives detailed information about Avery Tractors and Plows, about Avery Tests, Guarantees, Avery Prices and the Avery Company. Ask for a copy. If interested in threshing, too, get the Avery “Yellow Fellow-Grain Saver” catalog. DOWLING-SHUEY CO. Hr * fe??- * Buy an Up-To-Date Low Corn King Spreader ■pLEASE note that in the Low Corn King A the box is narrow—only 45 inches in widtU The Low Corn King can be driven into a moders barn and loaded directly from the stable. That saves work. The spread is eight feet or wider. That shortens the unloading time. The manure is thrown well beyond the wheels. That enables the driver to match up the edges of his strips without driving on manure-covered ground. You know what a big advantage that is. The manure gets two thorough beatings. It lands on the ground in a finely-pulverized condition. The soil immediately takes up the fertilizing properties. There is no loss or waste of valuable fertilizing material.
