THE GOING OF THE
JAMES YV. CARRS
■ The departure of the James Wil¬
li son Carrs Tuesday, leaves an aching
1 void in the hearts and home of their
loved ones; and a sigh for the vanish¬
ed forms and voices from a eirclg of
sincere admirers.
Mr. and Mrs. Carr went to Florida
in December, but fond memories of
other days and stays, lured them to
Covington, where they have been so¬
journing with the J. A. Wrights.
The personnel of the Carr party is
distinctive and interesting. There are
Mr. and Mrs. Carr, who possess that
“subtle something, which registers on
the subconscious mind of the stranger
and immediately produces a desire to
explore the charm, so instinctive!)
sensed” ... ,
There is the faithful maid, the
of whom so few still remain to remind
us of the past. Those noble souls,
who manifest (he spirit of “whither
thou goest, 1 will go; thy people shall
be my people.’’ The bumble friend
and tireless servitor. . . .
Steiner, the water spaniel, with
ing eyes and coat of satiny sheen.
Wonderful creature! Something more
than a dog, a little less than human.
The Carrs are returning to their
Pennsylvania home, located in famous
Buck county, the section whorf dwelt
makers of American history.
May good luck speed these parting
guests, while with them goes the old,
old wish, that Covington will have
“many happy returns” of their coming.

j i WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE?”
STORY OF MARRIED LIFE,
FILMED ON LAVISH SCALE
1
Cecil B. DeMilles’ latest Paramount
Artcraft production, “Why Change
Your Wife ?” will come to the Lyric
Theatre for one day, Monday next. It
is described as a striking drama of mar¬
ried life lavishly presented. Gloria
Swanson and Thomas Meighan are the
featured players. The story is by
William DeMile.
The plot centers around Robert and
Beth .Gordon, married for ten years,
but now beginning to drift apart. Beth
was a charming girl. She has become
a too wifely wife and bores her hus¬
band with her excessive solicitude
for his comforts. He finds diversion
in tlie company of vivacious, pleasure
loving Sally Clark. Literal minded Beth
imagines them in love. A divorce fol¬
lows, and Robert marries Sally. Too
late Beth discovers why she lost her
husband aiul blossoming like a rose,
develops Sully, into other society’s gayest figure!
on the hand, is transform¬
ed by marriage into a worse house¬
hold drudge than Betli ever was. Rob¬
ert's eyes are opened when he again
sees Beth, and through a dramatic se
l ies'of events they are brought happily
together. '
The picture has been produced with
all the beauty of setting, mastery of
screen technique, and admirable at
tention to detail that was charaeteris
tic of Cecil B. DeMfile's “Male and Fe¬
male.” and his other cinema classics.
Sada Cowan and Olga Pritzlau furnish¬
ed the scenario.
A Wisi
.si
Two traveling’ men were on the train one day as it drew
near the station. As they prepared to get off one
of them said:
“What bank do you do business with here ?”
“Why, the First National, of course,” the other replied.
“We always select the First National in every town
where there is such a bank. We have found it a
wise thing to do.
“We always know that a First National is governed
by the national banking laws; that it is under the
strict supervision of the government at Washing¬
ton, and that it is a member of the great Federal
Reserve System, These banks always have plen¬
ty of capital, as well as good, reliable stockhold¬
ers. We find them a good choice all over the
United States.”
A word to the wise is usually sufficient. , ’
