These motion pictures are but few of the eloquent tributes
that talent and brains and money are giving to the people at prices
they can afford to pay.
If you want to make a hog fat, feed him, slop him—but he'll
get skinny if he's not slopped. People who deride motion pictures
and the feature are unread and unthinking. The theatres In Shaw-
nee are well conducted; also, have we not the privilege of placing
our advertising—theatrical or picture show advertising—with whom
we please, without being the subjects of attack and criticism from
a source the transparency of which is most palpable?
The theatres of Shawnee do not own a newspaper through
whose columns to villify others because they do not patronize us.
We would not do that if we could. However, other industries
near and dear to the hearts of the people, industries which help
to make Shawnee prosperous, which pay good money for labor,
have, for malicious reasons, been "brought on the coals" before,
the author of these defamations having them heaped upon Ills own
P S. Shortly the picture theatres will exhibit a motion pic-
ture depicting the terrible catastrophe of minding other people's
business, entitled "How to Be a Successful Knocker." It's in
eleven parts and-requires a lifetime for its production.
It takes the motion picture to "hold the mirror up to nature"
-merely looking at the mirror wont "convince" as well. But
when you put it on the screen of the picture theatre you have to be
convinced. So LOOK OUT for the Knocker. Post Toasties would
tell you "there's a reason."
The Rev John Talbot Smith says: "The general attitude
toward the motion lecture should be sympathetic, watchful, kind-
ly and firm, as the nfost astonishing invention of the human mind.'

"WON IN THE CLOUDS"
MASTERPIECE OFiTHRILLS
"Won in the Clouds" is the greatest
thriller Otis Turner, director, ever
staged. Produced at the Universal-
Pacific coast studios It Is six reels of
vivid action packed into three, with
one sensation after another per-
meating the piece. The story is a
thrilling one of South Africa adven-
ture, and features Roy Knabenshue,
one of the greatest living aeronauts,
and his 150 foot, twelve pasBenger
dirigible balloon; also "Arabia," the
horse with a human intellect, and a
den of six lions.
The plot concerns an English
hunter and Ills daughter, who pene-
trate into a wild portion of darkest
Africa and there are worshipped by
the savages as gods. They discover
and workrlch diamond mines, though
the natives will not allow them to
leave the Jungle with the jewels
which will render them the richest
people In the world. However, they
finally escape by means of a saga-
cious elephant, one exciting incident
of the feature, but are compelled to
leave the jewels behind.
Their stories of fabulous wealth
are not believed until they meet

and offers to aid them in regaining
the precious stones. The party pene-
trates the Jungle by caravan, while

According to the story published
Lannin took the centerfielder to din- j
ner and talked to him about his
salary. They made no headway till
Lannin mentioned $18,000 as the fig-
ure. Thereupon Speaker very quickly
signed. This is one of the indica-
tions that the big league magnates
are not taking the Federal league
as such a joke =•« they have pre-
tended. Should the Federal league
fall during the coming summer, the
players of the regular big league
clubs will have to thank it for boost-
ing many salaries.
It was thought that Ty Cobb, who
was believed to have signed a con-
tract last year calling for a salary
of $12,000, was the highest-priced
ball player. This year it is under-
stood the owners of the Washington
Senators must pay Pitcher Johnson
$12,000. Christy Mathewson of New
York has just signed a new contra* t,
and it is the belief that he must ha-o
been given a very high salary. The
Federal league was after him and
had made him an offer. Johnny
Evers, deposed manager of the Cubs,
was taken over by Jim Gaffney, own
er of the Boston National League'
dub, at a salary of $10,000 for four
years and a bonus of $20,000.
