GIRLS CONTROL
THEIR OWN FATE
PAN CHOOSE CAREER, LIFE OF
LILY OR MARRIAGE—THEME
IN NEW THEME
“This is rightly called the age of
woman. To the girl of today life of
fers bewildering opportunities—a ca
reer, marriage and motherhood, or
the life of the lily who toils and spins
not. Hers is the choice.
“But the choosing is only the over
ture to the conflict which spells dra
ma. For while youth and beauty are
here a woman must contend with fate
—and circumstances—and the age old
story of the way of a man and a maid.
The foregoing is the captivating
theme of “Lilies of the Field.” a First
National Picture, which is coming to
the Liberty Theatre tonight. It was
directed by John Francis Dillon who
made “Flaming Youth” and co-feat
ures Corinne Griffith and Conway
Tearle, who are supported by Sylvia
Breamer, Myrtle Stedman, Alma Ben
nett, Crauford Kent Charles Murray,
Phyllis Haver, Cissy Fitzgerald, Edith
Ransom and Charles Gerrard.
Miss Griffith has the greatest role
of her remarkable career. Heroically
shouldering the disappointments and
tragedies of life, her resistance slow
ly gives way and she is about to seek
forgetfulness in a life of ease and gay
ety when real love enters her life.
“Lilies of the Field” is a picture
it one of the outstanding successes of
with a poignant appeal that has made
the year.
Three persons were arrested at
Cordova last week charged with vio
lations of the Alaska dry law. They
are Mr. and Mrs. Scar Stevens, na
tives, and Jack Ward, white.

IS THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDIZING
Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit’
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They aeal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
