NOBODY HOME!
This man R. H. Greecy, a prospector on Wild River, in
* the Kyokuk, who left a note on the trail recently say
ing his days were numbered and that he was in search
for a place in which to die, is one of those practical jok
ers, like the gink who rocked the boat.
After traveling over hundreds of miles of bleak win
ter trails rescuers finally found him—alive—and he said
he had only meant the note as a joke.
Greecy’s brand of humor was strongly condemned by
government officials who declared such an unwarranted
trick might work an injury to some prospector in the
hills who really needed helpr This is the first time on re
cord that a man has been known to do such a thing and
while there is no way they can properly punish him, it
is thought public opinion will undoubtedly be more ef
fective.
And that, is a pretty stiff punishment, the said
Greecy of Wild River will eventually learn.
A FEW SUGGESTED ISSUES FOR POLITICIANS •
Harm relief.
More places to park.
Thicker pumpkin pies.
Seedless watermellons.
Squirtless grapefruit.
Bigger and better backbones for jurors.
Fewer pins in new and laundered shirts.
The fellow who works only when the boss is around will
never be the boss.
Many a sane criminal doesn’t know he can plead insan
ity until his lawyer tells him.
In Mexico, uneasy lies the head that wants the Presi
dency.
With the approval by the Chief of Engineers of the Ar
my of harbor improvements at Ketchikan, Port Alexan
der and Seward, a big step has been taken toward-ob
taining these betterments, states the Juneau Empire of
recent date. The recommendations of the Army engineers
have great weight with Congress, and deservedly so, the
Empire continues, since they are based on findings of fact
disclosed by investigations and uninfluenced by bias or
predujice.
The people rule only so long as the people think'

man. who could sell a new $1500 auto- (
mobile for from $500 to $900 and did
is under arrest here charged with an
endless chain prize scheme.
He is Sam King, of*343 Willits St.,
Daly City. Working principally among
Japanese, King is said to have taken
orders and deposits for several dozen
autos and to have delivered only a
few.
According to police his plan "was to
deliver about five of the first 10 cars
ordered, the money paid for the 10
cars being sufficient to pay for the
five and then with the reputation thus
gained for him among his Japanese’
clients tc* take orders and deposits for
as many more cars as possible.
1 When arrested, he is said to have
collected $25,000 as deposits on cars
as yet undelivered.
King insisted he intended to make
deliveries by selling hi^ clients other
cars at advanced prices later in the
summer and standing the losses in
the first deals out of his profits in the
\
j later transactions after he had won a
following.

That Famous Old Play
^The Music Master”
That swept the country by storm as a stage
production
LOIS MORAN — NEIL HAMILTON
ALEX B. FRANCIS — NORMAN TREVOR
Head the Cast
DIRECTED BY ALLEN DWAN
A beautiful, dramatic production. Nothing
can surpass the fine old plays to stir the pulse
and awaken deep emotions. And this picture
reproduction is far better than the original
stage one of 20 years ago.
Full of stirring situations. America’s best lov
ed stage play turned into a movie masterpiece.
A wonderful tale of an old music master who
was once the leader of a great orchestra—his
search for his daughter, and his revenge on the
man who stole his wife.
ONE OF THE FEW PLAYS THAT WILL
NEVER DIE.
AND THERE WILL BE A PATHE NEWS,
AND A JOKE REEL
