America is Paying $800,030,090.00 Yearly for Motion Picture Entertainment Are you getting your money’s worth ? If you are seeing bad pictures for your good money, then you are not being treated fair.^Jt ds up to you and the exhibitors to improve the class of screen entertainment. How? Well, by patronizing the better programs and encourage a higher grade of entertainment. Another thing notable is the advance in movtie prices. In New York and other large cities the best pictures are shown at $2 per seat. There is no doubt as to the cause. The people are beginning to demand better pictures and are willing to pay for them. Wouldn’t you pay twice as much for a ticket if you are to see twice as good a show? On Fn'day and Saturday we are going to give you a real treat. Norma Talmadge >n “A Daughter of Two Worlds ” It is acknowledged as one of the greatest pictures of the past months. It is costing us more money than we have paid for any picture previously. Now its up to you to prove whether Greencastle really wants to see better pictures Our theater is onen to everybody and it's our ambition to give courte o'ls service. Remember, Fridav and Saturday. All tickets, 26e—F. R. “Y” MOVIE, DEPAUW GYM.

Higher'’ she folded her little hands and quietly passed to that brighter world to bloom again like a flower, but never fade away. And may God heal the aching hearts of the father and mother, grandparents and relatives, an,i help them to boar this great burden and to realize that their loss is her eternal gain. In thts dark and trying hour God reached forth and plucked the flower From out a home where she was loved Transplanted it in that homo above, Which is a bright and happy land, That’s always ruled with God's own hand; Where peace anj happiness always reigns, And may our loss be her gain.

Had Stomach Trouble for Seven Years.

;i:

Theodore Sandford of Fenmore, 3Ii;h., has bad stomach trouble for seven years and could not eat fruit of vegetables without pain in the I stomach and restless nights. By tak- | ing Chamberlain's Tablets he Is now | able to eat vogcrjbles or fruit withj out causing pain or sleeplessness. If troubled with indigestion or constipation give these tablets a trial. They are certain to prove beneflqial. i —Adv.

Ihings the Woodmen Know That t.’.ay Not be Known to Others. A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet, rr the contents of a pile 8 feet Ions, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. Wood is marketed ou this basis. A pile whose length, breadth and height multiplied together gives this number of cubic fret fills this requirement, no matter whether the sticks are long or short; straight or crooked, round or split, unless there is an understanding to the contrary. Nevertheless a cord, though it comes up to legal measurements. is an uncertain quantity even when the seller is honest and the buyer satisfied. A lumberman may have a trait of pulp wood which he sells kr> a papi r mill nt $5 a cord for as many cords as is will make, it is in the contract that he shall cut and stack it. He ruts In 12 foot lengths and when the Job is complete it measures 200 nerds and he receives $1,000 for it. Would he have fade or lost by cutting four foot lengths instead of twelve? lie would have lost In the first place from the additional labor required to cut 4 foot wood, but his principal loss would have resulted from a greatly diminished number of cubic fed. due to the fact that short sticks lie (loser together than large. Had the 200 cords of 12 foot wood been cut In I foot lengths there would have been only 176 cords and the owner would have received for it $o.8<* instead of $1,000. It was therefore clearly to his advantage to cut 12 foot Icngilir, hut k would have been to the buyer's ad- 1 vantage to have it rut In 4 foot ! lengths. He would have received the ] same actual quantity of wood for $120 less. It also makes considerable difference t 0 the seller whether wood is chopped or sawed. It chopped the chips are lost. Where the logs are large this loss amounts to no small | total. In a cord of four foot wood with sticks six inches in (lir.inctcr the | chip loss is from 6 to X per cent., and of course the shorter tho sticks ate . cut the greater Lite loss, if the wood is sawed the sawdust loss is sea re* ly the half or 1 per cent. Cords of split wood contain less than cords of rounded sticks The finer the wood Is spilt the more it I makes. Hence wood dealers are often willing to sell kindlings all sawed ; and split for the same price a cord ns unspit wood. They get hark the cost of labor In the increased bulk. A cord (128 cubic feet.) of 4 fool hard wood usually contains about 83 | ruhic feet of solid wood; a cord of 3 foot wood averages 83Vi cubic feet, of 2 foot wood X* feet and of 1 k.( l wood, 85 feet. Tho conifers (soft woods) contain !>fi to 36 cubic feet. Thus the purchaser receives on au average about two-thirds of a cord of real wood and one-third of a cord of spaces. lu some countries wood Is bought by weight and the buyer comes more nearly getting what he bargains for, nut even then he may miss it if he receives green wood when ho wants dry. According to t.'mber testing engineers of tho Linked States Forest Service wood may lose half or nion Its green weight in seasoning.—Foiestcr.

eVQl.UTION OF THE LAWYER

PAY WHEN CURED

The Legal Adviser Was Known si Champion in the Days of Wager of Battle. Members of the bar in Chicago and elsewhere, for that matter, will nol lose heart because of the announced innovation of a lawyeriess court la tlis western metropolis. Acocrding to reports from Chicago, it is intended to establish a tribunal, a branch of the Municipal Court, where litigants may plead their own causes. Almost any lawyer you meet will tell you that the scheme can scarcely fail to make a good deal of business for the legal profession through the mistakes of Hie laymen. As a matter of fact, a litigant may plead ills own cause iu any court lu the country, but such litigants should recall Hie old maxim that the man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client. in the days when suits at common law in Kngland were settled by waget of battle, tho attorney was known ui a riiampion. it will be understood that this position was one of real importance, where one party to a cadso or one affected by it was either a woman or a child, it was customary even for men to employ a champion to wage battle for them for precisely the same reason that a litigant at present employs a Juwyer—because the (humpiou was experienced and learned in his profession. Under the Anglo-Saxons Cie litigant. If a mule adult, came Into court himself and pleaded his own cause. Thu Christian Kings In this period, had abolished the earlier wager of battle, which later was restored by the conquering Normans. As women and minors could not come into court, they were allowed to he represented by whomsoever they ihooec. The exact time when it may be said that the recognized lawyer erme upon the scene in the English courts is open to considerable dihere nee cf < pinion. That there were officers of tho King’s court under William the Conqueror who might be likened to uttorneya, seems probable, but under Edward l there is positive record of sergeants at-lnw. These officers cl the court were under oath tq serve the King and his people, and received a compensation trom Hie court. in some of the ancient illuminated manuscript treatises on the iaws of England there are pictures of the sc.-' geants, standing beside the litigants in court. They occupied a peculiar position, actirg for li'ignnts and at th< same timu being a part of the court. The sergeants received the same kind of legal training deemed necessary tot a judge in those djys, and the bench was tilled with men who had formerly been sergeants-at-law. As time were on it was found r.ecessaiy to add eounfelon at law to assist in keeping up with the Increase of legal business, and from these to the modern attor uey. as we know him, was only another phase in the development. The attorney, even in this country, bt technically an officer of the court, although he docs not act directly for (lie court, but for his client, it has long been recognized In the criminal courts that it Is Imperative for a prisoner to be represented by counsel, and for that reason the court Is authorized to appoint an attorney for such prisoners as are unrepresented.

Man’s ani? Woman’s Curiosity. As to woman's curiosity it may be mid at the outset that she. is not so curious, by rn Intinl e measure, as h man him et' Women, It ; true, are persistently and assiduously onrloun; but men also are not only | i.-lslent-* and i viduoufly but particular!) auJ systematically curious.

Tie e two for. s «.f curiosity, t'.s male and the female originated 1 o doubt In the (■>rly nej Is of the r.. o long before mm appear 1 os earth.
