TWO KINDS
OF NEWS ..
» » » »
news
of what's being done and
news
» » » »
of what's being sold . . . .
Occasionally you meet a person who says with an off-
handish air, "Oh, I never read the newspaper." This is
their reply to your statement concerning some event or
sale. Nevertheless they are eager to hear more about it.
They ask you when it happened or where you bought it,
and they want all the details. You feel immediately that
they are fearfully uninformed and you have a sort of pity
for them. They live in a world and know nothing about
it, and if you talk to them further you will learn that
they overpaid on articles of clothing, haven't seen the
best shows, pay far too much rent, and probably drive
an automobile that ought to be in the Smithsonian In-
stitution. You also come to the conclusion they are very
dull. You feel that they need a tonic to build up their
minds and broaden their viewpoint. You feel that they
need the Beacon.
You are right, for the Beacon presents two kinds of
news, every week. News of national importance, and
news of local and community interest. The national news
informs your mind of happenings, keeps you in conver-
sation, keeps you interested in life. The local news con-
cerns you intimately for that is the news that appears
in the advertisements of the merchants of this city.
They bring you the vital facts of new low costs, of new
high values, of bargains and opportunities to clothe your-
self, to feed yourself and to furnish the home in which
you live. They give you the opportunity of comparing
competitive prices, they give you the right of deciding
where it is best to buy and where you will get the most
for your money. In this paper you read the news of
what's being done and what's being sold.

True Americanism
Small Town Spirit
ENTIRE COMMUNITY UNITES TO
DRIVE OUT MACHINE
(;UN GANSTERS
Where do you find the true Ameri-
can spirit—a true love of law and or-
| der and peace and freedom—in the
big cities among teeming thousands,
or in the small towns where every
citizen is a neighbor and friend?
"Men of America," RKO-Radio Pic-
ture showing Friday and Saturday at
the Queen Theatre, is a story of a
j small American town where, though
I friends may now and then be quar-
relsome and enemies are friendly, and
where most of the people are foreign
: born but boast of their American cit-
I izenship, thay all unite in a common
cause to rout, without any delay or
I palaver, a gang of racketeers on whose
I head is a price.
Wanted in too many cities for too
I many desperate crimes, the Cicero
I gang of robbers and killers, with ma-
chine guns and six-shooters, hide in a
rock-walled canyon in Paradise Val-
ley, but they are forced to rob of the
[ natives because they dare not use any
I of the money taken from their last
robbery because it is in thousand dol-
lar bills.
They make the mistake, however,
of thinking the natives are hicks and
saps—that they can put anything over
on them. What they had been get-
ting away with among big city police
was another story for the Cicero gang
when they tried it on a community
that didn't need a sheriff to help keep
law and order.
"Men of America" stars William
Boyd and Charles (Chic) Sale, with
Dorothy Wilson, Henry Armetta,
Thresa Maxwell Conover and other
spl ndid artists. Kalph lnce, who
plays the roel of Cicero, also directed
from anoriginal story by Humphrey
Pearson and Henry McOarty.
Boris Karloff in
The Mummy" at
Queen, Sun.-Mon.
If you're still in the market for a
wholesome case of the jitters drop
into the Queen Sunday or Monday and
let Boris Karloff, now the accepted
master of shiver-and-shake character-
izations, carry you off on a fantastic
trip up and down the corridors of old
Egypt—is worth going miles to see.
The story has been handled with
rare imagination and is far more in-
teresting than it is horrible. Settings
for "The Mummy" have been impres-
sively devised.
"Karloff keeps his followers on the
edge of the seat as they watch him
reveal what a real menace is like-
weird—fantastic—Karloff in one of
the most striking) characterizations he
has brought to the screen, amid unus-
ual settings, and with a theme far off
the beaten cinema path.
Karloff is a fearsome figure—and
he is scarcely less terrifying when he
steps forth with his parchment-like
countenance and his deeply sinister
demeanor.
Anders Hansen of Coppenhagen was
choking to death from a crust of
bread lodged in his windpipe. Realiz-
ing that he must have air quickly, he
stuck the blade of his pocket knife
into his throat just below the obstruc-
tion and got relief until a regular sur-
geon could finish the job.
