ANOTHER BOY HERO.
Nothing will strike terror to the
average individual more certainly
than the attack of a vicious dog and
to face such an attack unflinchingly
is an indication of uncommon courage,
even of the part of the strongest of
men.
Frances Burns, a 12-year-old boy of
Fowler, Colo., faced such an ordeal
and stood his ground when a large
dog attacked his baby sister. Snatch
ing the child from the teeth of the
dog he held her as high off the ground
as he could reach, while the animal
tore at his shoulders and arms in an
attempt to reach her.
The baby’s cries summoned help
and the dog was driven away, when
Francis was found to have been bitten
twelve times. All of his wounds
were immediately cauterized and he
is expected to recover. The baby is
only slightly hurt.
From the ferocious manner in which
the dog attacked the baby there is
no doubt but that it would have been
killed except for the quick action of
the boy. Thus must be added the
name of Francis Burns to the long
list of everyday heroes.
TO THE GRADUATE.
You are starting out in life and you
will soon have some very important
decisions to make. No one can make
them for you and you can get them
from no text book. But upon these
decisions depend largely whether you
are a success or a failure. There will
be many avenues open to you, all
leading in a definite direction, and
all pointing toward success of a cer
tain sort. Many persons confuse suc
cess with wealth, which is wrong. The
wealthy man is the most unfortunate
being in the world, and while many
of us would like to trade places with
him, his wealth would quickly vanish
if we did, for every person may be
come wealthy if he is willing to deny
himself every comfort, and use the
money made to produce other money.
The successful man, in our estimation
is the man who leaves a host of warm
friends behind him when he departs
from this vale of tears. A wealthy
man may have many friends, but it is
hard to distinguish the true from the
false and he has neither the time nor
inclination to put them to the test.
Along the many highways leading
from the school house door, one may
lead you to a successful business or
professional career. Others may lead
to less conspicuous places. Along
every road you will find many de
tours, and only by keeping your eyes
fixed upon the heights and your heart
stilled to the clamors of those you
tread upon you may reach the apex.
There will be many lures by the
roadside calculated to tempt the in
experienced and young. You may
escape these snares and regain the
beaten path, but each experience will

Many of next month’s graduates

“IF WINTER COMES”
When A. S. M. Hutchinson wrote
“If Winter Comes” he contributed to
the world of fiction the literary sen
sation of a decade. William Fox
has produced the screen counter
part of this now famous novel which
bids fair to become the most talked
of photoplay of the season. It comes
in a big 32-reel super-production at
the Liberty theater tonight.
Photographed in England, In the
actual scenes pictured by the author,
which have become so familiar to the
average American household, the
photoplay is a fine, authentic achieve
ment which has commanded the pro
fuse commendation of Mr. Hutchin
son, himself.
Some idea of the thoroughness that
marks the screen reproduction of “If
Winter Comes” may be gleaned from
the following facts:
Director Harry Mi.arde, with a
company of screen artisis, headed by
Percy Marmount, who plays Mark
Sabre and Miss Ann Forrest, the
Nona of the story, spent one year
in England to complete the picture.
Mr. Hutchinson personally aided
Millarde in the production and selec
tion of locations.
Eight English towns were used to
visualize “Tidborough.”
The entire Royal West Kent regi
ment, known as the “Buffs,” were
used in the military scenes.
Among the historic places used for
atmosphere were Chilham Castle,
dating back to Caesar, 56 B. C.; Can
terbury Cathedral and The Precincts;
Leeds Castle, the “old court of the
Plantagenets”; Aylesbury courthouse
and many sections of historic old St.
Albans.
TWO ARRESTS MADE
IN LIQUOR RAID
James Ore and Gus Lind were ar
rested last night by Claude Shea,
enforcement officer. In the U. S.
Commissioner's court this morning
both plead guilty to the charge of
violating the liquor laws. Ore was sen
tenced to 90 days in jail and Lind
was given a 60-day sentence.
The bridge at Mile 5 is being rais

NORMAN DAWN

is stated the venture has proven fi
nancially successful which is grati
fying to the company’s stockholders.
“Justice of the Far North,” the sec
ond moving picture drama to be pro
duced by the Nonman Dawn Com
pany, should be arriving in Seward,
it is stated, very soon. The plot of

ventures, gorgeous scenery and
I splendid acting. Mr. Dawn writes
! the third Alaska film is going on the
market this week.
