Coming to the Gayety Next Tuesday

The picture “Indiana,” which comes to the Gayety for one day on Au,gust the S|h, is one of the most interesting that has ever been shown in Rensselaer. To begin with all the scenes are historically accurate and everyone knows that the history ot our state offers innumeral opportunities for thrilling scenes that could seldom be duplicated in fiction. Then again the progress of i typical Hoosier family through these stirring times offers a further chance for gripping action. The picture is in 7,500 feet, every foot of which was filmed within the state and most of it right on the actual spot where history tells us the action took place. In some instances, of course, the historic places have been so modernized that it was found necessary to build replicas from old prints. The local charity board is handling the advance sale of tickets for this picture a percentage of the returns from which they will share in. It is urged that all buy their tickets through the charity board as this offers a chance to avoid the rush at the gate and to also help the local board without in any way increasing the cost of witnessing the exhibition. There will be two shows in the evening, the first at 7 and the last at 9 o’clock at an admission price to adults of 25c for any seat. In most cities the picture has played at a scale of prices running up to 50c and have given a special children’s morning show at 15c. Because of the Gayety not running shows in the daytime it has been decided to allow the children into the evening shows at 10c, and because of the lack of reserved seats the adult price has been settled at 25 cents.—Advt.

Don’t You Get “Stung” Do Business at Home There are hundreds of swindlers always on the go who take good people’s money for periodical subscriptions and move to the next town to spend It. Usually these confidence men offer magazines at greatly reduced prices. No standard magazine, that is, no magazine you really want, permits anyone to undersell Its own price. You can never buy the kind of subscription you want, at cheaper price from any stranger than through ydur own newsdealer. Don’t pay money for subscriptions—goods not delivered—to people you do not know. Least of all at scalper’s rates, ’way below the publisher’s printed price. Your dealer pays rent and taxes and lives within roach, which guarantees that your- subscriptions will be properly placed with the publisher. Also he is on the spot as the publishers’ agent when anything goes wrong. A WORD TO THE PUBLIC: * rT * T|f .1 JD *m. In addition to the above, I want to say a. word about newspaper subscriptions. I take your subscription for any newspaper published In the world, as cheap as publisher’s prices. In addition I save you your time, cost of your writing paper, envelopes, stamps and money order, which is quite a saving. Anyone I know personally can call me on the telephone and I will order the paper at once. For the convenience of those who can’t get in town until late, I have taken the branch money order office of the American Express Company and can write money orders at any time. Think it over. J. J. Montgomery Newsdealer
