Coliseum tonight for the last time,

strated her ability to dance and
act before the camera and now the
ambitious young lady has written
some stories that will sooner or
later be visualized on the screen.
Miss del Kay had set her heart on
Winning fame as a dancer and had
attained to the commendation even
of Pavlova when she was literally
picked up and tossed Into the pic

discouragements, the little girl, only
sixteen, made good and, while her
heart still is with the tcrpsieliorean
art, she will probably remain before

♦HOOT GIBSON LAST
TIME AT PALACE
"Headln's West," the. Universal
Special Attract&m now at the Pa
lace Theatre, Is the story of a man
yyho came home frjpui the war ami
ffcund that not ajl eras glory in the
returning. Hoot Glbsrwr, .campled
fjjler anil cowpuncher of t}ie world
gs well as the star of manf enjoy
able pictures, has the stellar role.
£;He enters the tale via parachute,
dropping off at a familiar spot on
the scenery from an airplane In
■Which he haa bummed his way
across the continent. , Coin gto the
foreman of his own ranch, he asks
for a Job as a cowpuncher. Getting
the laugh when he fails to ride a
broncho that someone had "fixed”
with a thorn under the saddle, he is
appointed first assistant to the cook.
His chief .occupation from then on
la peeling potatoes.
The story., has its measure ol
thrills as well as humorous situa
♦ions.
‘Headin' West” ought to interest
toMiU ‘Mbb “o*b*,; there*

it tells the story of one man who
came home and didn't finds hands or
even outstretch i*d hands.
‘THE SEA WOLF” AT
COLISEUM TOMORROW
The screen version of Jaik Lon
don's famous novel, “The Sea Wolf,"
which will he on view for ten days,

with spectacular scenes. A ferry
boat and a fishing schooner actually
crash at sea; a ship founders in a
[fog; "Wolf" Larsen's vessel, "The
Ghost," is beached on a desolate
island. All these episodes aro thrill
j ingly recorded by the camera. How
i ever, the emphasis in the picture
! has been laid upon the striking sto
I ry, which is at bottom a study in
contrasts—the brutal sea captain
; who believes that ‘‘might makes
i light,” and the aesthetic, peace-lov
ing young idler whom he rescues
after a catastrophe at sea.
Noah Beery, a man of great phy
lcal prowess, as well as a talented
actor, is said to do tin1 best work
of his career ns "Wolf." Torn For

less than the basic minimum price.
To make up the loss sustained on
exported wheat every bushdl of
wheat marketed should be assessed |
with a differential tax. This tax
would vary with the surplus pro!
dneed. If the basic price was such
that there was an overproduction,
than the tax would lower the farm
ers' price to where over production
would be, cUaeouraged, while if there
was a shortage of wheat the tax
would be lessened and production
stimulated.
“This plan would not Interfere
with the present grain trade, with1
the development of cooperative mar-1
keting, nor with the chance of a
price above the basic minimum to
the farmer who chooses to hold his
wheat until after the harvest rush.
It would, without subsidizing agri
culture, put the labor and capital
of the American farmer on a plane
with the capital and labor of other
Industries.
“It w’ould eliminate market gluts
due to overproduction placing the
burden of overproduction entirely up
on the farmer. The consumer of
wheat In the United States would be
asked to give the farmer an equal
cliance. Only the extremely selfish
would deny this.
“Approximately six hundred mil
lion busheK are consumed at home
and two hundred million bushels are
exported. This surplus is a mill
stone around the neck of agricul
tural prices."
The suggestion that American citi
ze.ns sould be induced to buy wheat
was denounced by Mr. Madden, who
said tills plan would only aggravate
the situation because, “it increases
the amount of the surplus held In
America, which sooner or later will
cause prices to fall to lower-dovels.”

RIGHT OF GUY
TO FLOAT SOND
ISSUE AT STAKE
Petersburg Man Brings
Friendly Action to Clear
Up Legal Tangle.
To cleat- away If posslhle legal ob
structions bolding up the sale of
municipal bonds being floated to pro
vide funds for the construction of u
light and power plant by the City of
Petersburg. Paul Lund, a resident
of that town, through his attorney,
H. L. Faulkner, today filed suit in
the local IT. S. metric! Court asking
for an injunction preventing the
town from spiling the bonds, The
suit, said Mr. Faulkner, is friendly
and for the pul-pom of determining
the right of the city to float the
issue.
The city, several months ago.
through Henry Rodeu. placed a bond
iss^e totaling $115,000 with a Seat
tle firm. Later It developed that tSch*
i idealities would endanger tile issue
land in order to overcome these, if
j it were possible to do so, and to set
I tie the matter definitely, Mr. Roden
I advised the Petersburg authorities
: to have the city’s power to place the
bonds tested in the courts. The
present sull is the outcome of this.
Several questions are raised In
the suit instituted today. 11 is
asked that the injunction lie issued
on account of the /act that the pro
ceeds from the sale of bonds will he
used to acquire property outsldo of
the corporate limits; for the construc
tion of a municipal light and power
plant outside of the corporate limits;
that electric power from such plant
will bo sold to private Individuals
outside of (he city proper to he used
and consumed without the city; that
the sale of the bonds would obligate
thp town, its common council and
officers to levy ami collect annually
general taxes upon nil real and per
sonal property In the kjwu In ex
cess of the legal two per cent maxi
mum. and that the revenue to be de
rived from a two per cent levy on
llie assessed valuation of retil and
personal property would not he suf
ficient to pay the Interest on and re
tire the principal of the bonds and
to pay the normal expenses of run
ning the city.
It Is understood that the firm with
which the bonds wore placed is ready
to go ahead with its agreement and
that the residents of the town are
anxious to put the bond Issue
through. 1

time. Tile Empire goes everywhere. Let us hustle for you. Better think it over and then GET ALIVE.
Now is the time to get before the public. Residents who have been away from Juneau for the summer
are returning. School is going to open soon. Better get busy and reach everybody. People are soon
coming in for the winter months. Better get acquainted with them through the Empire, for they will be
