the present tendency of industrial plants is toward the
smaller towns, according to a recent magazine writer,
who considers this one of the most far-reaching move
ments of recent years.
, Some of the reasons for this decentralization of in
dustry are given, among them being the bringing of fac
turies closer to the raw material and the ultimate con
sumer, thus reducing transportation charges; the exten
tion of cheap electric service to the smaller cities and
towns; lower living costs and better surroundings for em
ployees, and in many cases a more intelligent and more
dependable labor supply.
Summing up the results which this movement will
bring about, the writer says that from now on we may ex
pect to see a marked movement toward these smaller cit
ies and towns' instead of having vast populations neces
sary for large production herded together in a few big
cities.
This trend of industry affords the small town its op
portunity to share in the benefits of industrial payrolls.
Besides, the industrial workers create a better market for
farm produce. This industry and agriculture may go
hand in hand in the upbuilding of those communities
which take advantage of their opportunities in this direc
tion.
Boosting is always contagious with the germ of suc
cess.
I can easily see now why the report more Alaskans
go ‘nuts’ than people in other portions of the States, may
be true’,’ remarked a wiseacre yesterday from the south.
“It isn’t the isolation, climate or anything like that but the
regulations by the Cossack bureau heads, that drives ’em
wild.’’
Thrift should not be confused with miserliness.
Thrift is merely the valuable quality of being able to spend
money wisely and well, not foolishly.
The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.
There is no truth in the report from the Interior that
on account of the railroad being so rough tourists had
adopted the slogan “Travel and be vibrated.’’

Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.

SIR GEORGE AT LOS ANGELES
GIVES OUT SAME LINE SINCE
RETURN FROM ARCTIC
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6. (TP)—There
will be no race to this South Pole as
far as Capt. Sir Hubert Wilkins is
concerned. Wilkins announced he
would cooperate in every way with
the expedition of Commander Byro
and had no intention of flying to the
South Pole but would confine his ef.
forts to reconnaisance of 2000 miles of
unmapped coast of the Antarctic.
Byrd will make many flights of a
more detailed nature and will att»3m$
to reach the Pole, Wilkins explained,
and his two planes, both being con.
structed on the west coast, will be
taken South by him. His pilot will
be a Pacific coast aviator. Wilkins
will sail from New York on September
22.

This is the kind of story that makes you forget
you’re in a theatre. A picture made to expose
the terrible brutality of police methods of inti
midating innocent people whom they think can
not defend themselves by “Pull”. Showing how
the Officer, hiding behind his badge which the
average man blindly accepts as proof of the
wearer’s honorableness, gives free rein to his
brutal instincts and gets away with it.
Showing the reason for the old saying
“IT TAKES A THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF”
Also why they are called “Bulls.”
A vivid play picturing the suffering caused by
Police Officers suspicions and ways.
With it will be a Pathe News
