Boys, this picture is a hunndinger..
It's got a devilish good story about

some situations, in this picture, any

for the ordinary ‘'feature.” The
story is clean enough to be shown
to a Bible class of the purest or
der and mothers and children can
go without fear of being shown any
thing that in the slightest will cause
offense. And it’s one of the biggest
pieces of acting that unfathomable
William S. Hart has ever done.

MANY GEORGIANS BUY
NEW HUNTING LICENSES
ATLANTA, Dec. ‘2B.—Receipts
from hunting licenses issued since
the opening of the hunting season
are greater this year than for the
I same period in 1922, it is announc
ed at the state game and fish com
missioner’s office. The total re
ceipts of the year are expected to
exceed those of last year by a goon
margin.
The assumption that the receipts
this year would be greater than
those of last year was leased on
the average returns already given
in, it was said, and on the fact that
■a number of the South Georgia
counties have already turned in
larger receipts for the first two
months of the hunting season than
for the entire season of 1922.
