OUTSTANDING FACTS
ABOUT WIN HOOD'
Film to Be Shown at Rylander
Next Week for Three Days
One of Greatest
Some thing of an idea of the
bigness and general scope of
Douglas Fairbanks’ latest photo
play sensation, “Robin Hood,’’ may
be gathered from the following
summary.
Hundreds of workmen labored
three months to build the secs.
This lumber, it laid out in board
feet, would* cover twenty acres ot
ground; if placed end to end would
span a distance about five hun
dred miles.
™ Th king’s castle set covers two
and one-halt acres and is 310 feet
in height. The exterior is 629 ieel
long.
T here are eight castle towers.
If these towers were water tanks,
each would hold 276,000 gallons.
The royal banquet room in the
castle is the largest room in the
world, being even larger than the
concourse es the Pennsylvania
Terminal Station in New York City.
Every Weapon carried in the
production was made entirely by
hand. There are 2,000 spears, 1,- j
500 swords, 2,000 shields and 500
daggers.
An army of 10,000 extra people
was employed in various scenes at
v.rious time*-.
The prodigal use of handwork
on all effects in “Robin Hood” is
not a careless extravagance, but
serves to illustrate the absolute
authenticity of the production, for
in the period depicted machinery
was little used, metals and almost
all materials being worked by
hand.
“Robin Hood’’ will be shown at
the Rylander Theatre on Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday, June
13, 14 and 15 and marks an epoch
al event for that poptj v ](lay
house. The production is consid
ered the greatest of the year and
has been breaking all box office
records in those cities where it) has
already nlayed.
WHICH WINS? A BIG
LOVE OR A CAREER!
Must a woman abandon all hope
of a career when she marries?
Should a husband repress his wife’s
ambition to carve out for herself
a niche in the world of achieve
ment?
These questions, which are en
gaging the serious attention of
serious men and women every
where are raised in Thomas H.
Ince’s powerful drama, “What A
Wife Learned,” to be shown at the
Rylander Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday.
The old-fashioned idea !of ro
mance has been discarded by the
twentieth-century woman, some
people say, and she refuses longer
to be shackled to the outworn
theory that when a woman mar
ries she must submerge her iden
• tity and her individuality in her
husband’s name.

•\Ve should remember that a|
balance sheet must be struck; the
day of final settlement always
comes around; it is utter foolish
ness for the state, the county or
the city to go ahead appropriat
ing money that is not already forth
coming.
“If our federal, state and city
law-makers would determine to ap
propriate just as little money as
they can —and not how great a
sum as can be cork-screwed out
of the people, we then would be
given a chance to recuperate.
“The tax burden on the farm
ers of this country simply must
be lightened. They cannot carry
another additional cent. Decrease
the load, for humanity’s sake, in
stead of continually adding there
to.
“I am not pessimisitc. I have
the utmost fdlith in the future,
but as a farmdr and as a banker,

come and some one had to sound
■this warning.
Quotes President Harding
■ “The morning papers are quoting
President Harding, in a letter to
a friend, in which the president
says that every means possible
should be employed (to) insure
against unnecessary increases in
the cost of government. The
president is now on the right line.
Not only should unnecessary in
'r eases be stopned now, but fed
d?al expenses 'should be cut so
hat federal taxes can be lowered.
“Beating the Old Man”
Will you have enough laid by at age 65 to keep “Old
Man Law of Average” from operating?
Here are your chances: Statistics show that out of
1 00 healthy men at age 25, at age 65 one is rich, four are
well to-do, five support themselves, fifty-four (54) are
dependent upon relatives, friends or charity, and the oth
er thirty-six have died. .. .
It can be done, though! We have devised a policy
that has the usual provision in event of death, with the
added provision if you live to age 65 that you will receive
a monthly income of any stipulated amount as long as you
live. And you would be surprised at the low cost.
X Don’t you think it worth investigating?

“There is no more important
duty confronting public officials
anywhere than the enforcement of
the utmost measure of economy
consistent with good administration,
wrote President Harding.
‘Continuing, the president wrote
that within the past few days the
census bureau at my request has
furnished some figures which seem
ed to him to impress as nothing
else could the necessity for the
most careful administration in
every governmental unit. They
state, for example, says Mr. Hard
ing that revenues from all sources
ot the state governments in 1923
aggregated $368,000,000 and in
1921, $956,000,000, an increase ol
161 per cent. Expenditures rose
from $373,000,000 in 1913 to sl,-
005,000,000 in 1921, an increase ot
163 per cent. Indebtedness in
cerased from $425,000,000 in 1913
to $1,012,000,000 in 1921, an in
crease of 139 per cent. These fig
ures hardly require comment be
cause they demomprate 'jpo conr
clusively, it seems to be, that costs
of state government are rising a:
a rate which at least justifies the
most serious consideration.
“Along with the foregoing data
regarding cost of state govern
ments the census bureau furnished
the president some figures on the
increase in cost of city govern
ments. These figures are based on
the returns of the government of
227 of the largest cities in the
country. It is shown chat for cities
in this group revenues in 1913.
amounted to $890,000,000, and in|
1921 $1,567,000,000, an increase!
of 76 per cent. For the same
group expenditures were sl, 010,-
000,000 in 1913 and in 1921 sl,-
726,000,000, an increse of 71 per
cent. Aggregate indebtness of
191.3 was $3,901,000,000, and in
1921 $4,334,000,000 an increase of
49 per cent, Mr. Harding stated in
his letter.
“I am very glad that our na
tional head real’zes the condition
of affairs anti that he, too, is
sounding a warning to all,” con-1
eluded Mr. Council.
