Although the Red Cross Christ
mas drive does not oegin officially
until Dec. 17 it is already under

farmers and residents of smaller
towns and villages in the Northern
Division. In such districts John
Leslie, chairman of the division
membership committee, urges all
possible haste in the campaign.
If the drive is delayed Jin such
places it means that cold weather

by Dec. 17 and it will be impossible
to cover the territory. The hardest
work of the drive, Mr. Leslie, de
clares, must be done before the first
heavy fall of snow

Maxine Elliott Tomorrow.
Coming to the Rex theater tomor
row and Wednesday is Maxine El
liott, the famous beauty, in her de
but in the celebrated Goldwyn pic-
ture, "Fighting Odds," written by
Roi Cooper Megrue and Irvin S.
Cobb, the latter one of the foremost
writers in the United States.
In "Fighting Odds" these two fa
mous authors have written a play of
a wife's loyalty of well-paid Ameri'
can labor of scheming financiersa
big play of Dig Business. The hero
of the story is a man who believes
with,Henry Ford that the laborer is
worthy of his hire. You see a
scheming and unscrupulous capital
ist plotting to destroy wage ideal
ism. Detroit figures as the scene of
this industrial and domestic drama
until it shifts to New York
In every city or town where there
are liberal employers of labor who
pay and believe in high wages, it is
-possible for exhibitors by giving
this employer an advance showing of
1'Fighting Odds" to obtain an in
dorsement of the picture that can be
published in advertisements or used
in publicity The value of doing this
Is that you will interest the working
class in the picture, in addition to
feeling certain that the society and
other classes will be interested in
the personality of Miss Elliott

its terrors has been brought to the
very gateway of America by the uri
der-water fighting craft is vividly
pictured in Thos Ince's million
dollar cinema spectacle which comes
to the Grand theater for .two days,
beginning tonight When Mr. Ince
produced the wonderful spectacle
showing a submarine in action and
the sinking of a great ocean liner
lqaded with Women and children,
little did he dream that the Euro
pean countries would carry this sen
sational method of sea fighting al
most to the shores of this country.
Newspapers recently have been filled
with the details of sinking ships and
submarines along the Atlantic coasj*
In "Civilization" this teriffic warfare
is pictured in detail with hair-raising
realism. The European countries by
bringing their conflict to this side,
of the ocean have turned press
agent for this big production which
everyone will surely wish to see
