UNIVERSITY EXCHANGE
FCR GEOLOGISTS
A system of university exchanges
for the geological department in
order that specimen- of geological
fossils and minerals may be obtained
from every locality in America on
exchange basis instead of cash, is
now being worked out by Dr. ('. E.
Decker, associate profi--or of i". ole -
gy at the University of Oklahoma.
"One of the first sets oi fos-ils

All Star Cast Is Seen In
Big Fox Special, "Thunderclap"
The question of "who is the star"
in "Thunderclap." the William Fox
special which come* to the Liberty
lhcatre for a 2 days' run commenc-
ing next Friday, is happily answered
in the brief announcement: "There
are eleven artists in the cast of
'Thunderclap,' each is a star."
Jn addition to the assurance o.
one of the strongest casts ever as-
sembled for the making of a picture,
there > added interest in the fact
that Mr. Fox has spared neither

running story in which action speaks
Vuider than captions and which
commands undivided interest an ;:t-

first character until the completion
of a surprising but none-the-less
captivating climax.
"Thunderclap'' deals with the co1-

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.—
Rural hospitals are making farm
life in Western Canada more com-
fortable and livable.
A few years ago farm life on
these prairies was regarded by
great many people, especially
women, as unattractive and full of
hardships and discomforts. In this
country of magnificent distances, it
had the flavor of a pionear ad-
venture.
This has all been changed. Farm
hemes now have electric i'ght, fur-
nace heat, running water .ml all
the other conveniences and com-
forts of a city mansion.
Farm life has been robbed of its
old bugbear of isolation. Thia has i
been accomplished by automobiles. I |ish«j frcm one end of the country I The Canadian West is fast bs-
