This Year than Ever If you have any gifts to buy for men or boys, this is the place to come. These same men, and possibly the boys, have been buying things here all year long. Our name on the label will mean to them something of reliability. The gift will be of the sort that they'd buy for themselves. Sensible gifts have always been in good taste. This year they'll be right in line with the spirit of the times. This Christmas will have a little more flavor of the conservative and practical. If, when you're making the purchase, you'll say that it is for a Christmas Gift, we shall be glad to put it up for you in a special Holiday package. Bring the name card with you, and we'll wrap that inside the package needn't be opened again until Christmas Day. Every article will be pleasing and give satisfaction.

V CLUB IN HER HONOR The postman recently brought to pejry Kyland a letter from twelve high school crirls in one of the larjre V.'eftern cities. The iHter told how the ffirls had formed "The Teirjry Hyland Society," and had cljosen Mi.s5 Hyland as honorary president. Following a copy of the minutes of the first meeting, when it was decided to set aside the dues for some poor family, the letter asked for a personally "autof-raohed picture of the star for each of the twelve members. Miss Hyland complied immediately, thereby proving an exception among screen stars. HERE'S RECIPROCITY Mae Murray, star of Bluebird, has earned a fortune doing film work in Southern California. Her idaa of reciprocity i3 expressed in her recent cash purchase of a ten-acre ranch near San Bernardino, including a comfortable house and barns, together with fruit and vegetable soil of great fartUitr.
