GRIPPING HEART DRAMA
OF STAGE FILMED IN
“THE PAINTED
WORLD.”
Young GirPs First Romance
Is Shattered By Shame of
Parentage.
The tragedy of a young
girl’s first love dreams shat
tered by the revelation of her
own parentage is pictured
with fine dramatic intensity
in Vitagraph’s “The Painted
World,” starring Anita Stew
art, and which will be shown
in the Jewel Theatre on next
Thursday night, October, 14.
Yvette’s mother is “The
Masked Lady of the Moulin
Rouge,” the father a person
unspeakable. The mother has
sworn her child never shall
enter the gates of the painted
world where she makes her
living and her identity she
tries to hide behind the rep
utation of a wealthy widow
who travels extensively.
Yvette is brought up far
from the city, but on one of
the visits home she meets her
father, who brutally tells her
the truth and tells her that
when he is ready she, too, will
enter the painted world.
The girl’s shame and terror
at this revelation is over
shadowed by knowledge that
°ue of the requirements of the
uj-an she loves—the only one
sue cannot meet—is that “the
Parents of the girl he marries
®ust be beyond reproach.”

ATTORNEY IS DISBARRED.
George A. Burr of Paragould
Found Guilty by Court.
Paragould, Oct. 7.—George
A. Burr, local attorney, who
is well known in northeast
ern Missouri, this afternoon
was disbarred from practice
as the result of hearings con
ducted before Judge R. H.
Dudley in Circuit Court.
The charges against Mr.
(Burr grew out of bitterly con
tested lawsuits in 1913 and
J916. The first was the case
of the Watkins'Medical Com
pany of Winona, Minn.,
against Joe Clark. The other
was the case of the same med
ical company against A. O.
Johnson.
Mr. Burr, in preparing his
case for the jury in the John
son hearing, extracted four
.or five exhibits from the Clark
record without having se
cured consent of the court to
do so, and offered these ex
hibits in evidence.
Mr. Burr, on the witness
stand, and in his official ans
wer, admitted having taken
the exhibits, but insisted that
he regarded them as of no
value, and that,, since he had
called for them at Winona
and had been responsible for
having them read into the ■
^records, he regarded them as
his own. He also said that in x
Ohio, where he practiced law
for 10 years before coming to
Paragould, it was customary
for attorneys to go to the
courthouse and secure such ,
records and documents with
out receipting for them or
getting permission of the
court.
It was agreed between at
torneys for the prosecution
and defense that the matters
involved were points of law
and that the jury might be
discharged and a verdict be
given by the court. The case
for Mr. Burr was argued by
H. R. Partlow and Allan D.
Stewart, the latter Mr. Burr’s
son-in-law. Argument! i n
tavor of the disbarment pro
ceedings was conducted by J.
M. Futrell and M. P. Huddle
ston.
Judge Dudley, in announ
cing the verdict, said that the
defendant had admitted tak
ing the papers; that they were
of material importance; that
at the time the Johnson case
was being tried the Clark
case was still pending; that
Johnson could not have estab
lished his connection with the
company except through the
circulars and documents; that
the prosecution had made out

Opportunity Knocks

Be ready. That’s the main thing. When the
supreme moment comes and Opportunity taps at
your door, it is then that a bank account is doubly
valuable. Opportunity can’t do much for you if
you are notin a position to help a little. We in
vite you to open an account at our Bank. Then
we may be in a position to give Opportunity a tip
to call around at your place. Otherwise it would
be time wasted.

The above lawyer was
the attorney for the Bayou De
View Drainage District and
there are many tax payers
here who will be glad to learn
of the above proceedings. Be
cause of the fact that Wood
ruff county people are the most
interested and are paying as
much,if not more, than Cross
and Jackson counties’ citizens,
it would be only fair and right
that an attorney from Wood
ruff County should be selected
as the district’s attorney.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting
and lighting system and demountable rims with
3)4-inch tires front and rear, for every day in
the year has no equal as a family car. Just as
popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact,
it fits the family demands in every vocation of
life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate
glass windows make it an open car in pleasant
weather, while in rainy and inclement weather
it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain
proof. It is not only comfortable, but really
cozy, and above all, economical in operation
and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits
of strength and durability.
