MUNICIPAL “MOVIES.”
Little Town of Haven, Kan., Starts a
Good ldea.
Kansas has one of the few municipal
moving picture shows in the country.
It is at Haven, a little town in Reno
county. If there is another munici
pally owned moving picture show
house in the couuntry the directors of
the different film companies have no
knowledge of it. X
Ilaven was so small that there were
no moving picture shows. and only oc
caslonally would one be given there
by a traveling company. Every one
in the little town enjoyed the pictures.
No one was willing to risk his money
in building a moving picture house,
so all the business men of the town
chipped in enough to buy the machine,
and the show was started a month ago.
It is a great success. The pictures
are shown in the town hall every
night, An admission fee is charged to
pay the operator and the license on the
filma, which are changed twice a week.
When the receipts are larger than the
expenses free shows are given until
the fund is exhausted or additional
and special films are purchased and
the show is increased and kept going
with more pictures until the fund is
used up. The town built an airdome
theater. During the summer the’ pic
ture shows were given 'ln the open
air, and this winter they will return
to the town hall.
A CIVIC COMMISSION.
Leading Citizens of San Antonio to
: Investigate. ;
The idea of a civic commission con
sisting of the leading men of various
lines of endeavor in San Antonio ap
pointed by the mayor:and serving with
out pay to investigate problems which
may arise and advise the city council
thereon was advanced at the luncheon
given by the chamber of commerce.
There were upward of 150 members
of that body preseunt. with whom this
projected commission found favor, and
it is deemed probable that when the
jdea hLas - been fully elaborated and
worked out it will be presented to the
new city administration with a request
for its co-operation.
Such a comumission. it was suggested,
could take up the river problem, the
street problem, the city plan problem
and the various others, bringing to
them expert and careful attention, de
voting time and experiment, and from
all suggestions made select the best, in
dorse it an@ recemmend to the couacil
its adoption. p

One of the most terrvifying creatures
of the sea is the giant squid. It 1s
claimed it will not hesitate to attack a
boat if sufficiently angered. Muny
geientists hold that the giant squid Is
respounsible for the sea serpent stones
This creature rises to the surface in
deep water and propels itseif with
great rapidity just under the top of
the waves. This curious jerky motion.
due to the ejection of water from its
baglike body, makes what is seea of
the creature seem very serpentlike. -

Raffling Uunder the Ban.
Atlanta, Nov. 22. A discision
which puts the ban on gambling
and all raffiling, whether at
church fairs, charity bazars or‘
over cigar counters has been
handed down by the Georgia
supreme court, and will proba
bly affect thousands of plans laid
for raising money during the
winter holidays.
Under this decision, a raffling
is declared to be nothing more
nor less than a lottery, and as
such is prohibited by Georgia
law. This decision upholds the
contention of the Atlanta police
court last Christmas that raffling
was a form of gambling. It
will be recalled that all publie
raffling in stores was stopped
then by the police, and that many
of the people who wereaffected
dzclared that the police action
was unconstitutional and unjust.
The cast on which the supreme
court decision was based is that
of N L. Garland, a Toccoa livery
man, vs. Dr. J. E. D. Isbell. It
concerned the ownership of a
horse that had been raffled off
'byalman named A. Swilling.
The court decided, among other
things, that persons winning
prizes in raffiles have no-legal-re
dress if for any reason the prizes
are withheld from them. ~

Do they realize the value of a dollar
and what its purchasing power really is? Show
~ them by actual practice that it is false economy,
for instance, to save money on food and other
necessaries of life and then to spend that very
saving in some useless luxury. Explain to
them how the dimes will grow into dollars and
how the larger sums will finally double them
