ROAD ASKS PERMISSION TO
ISSUE MORTGAGE BONDS
By Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 8.—Formal appli-
cation by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company for authority to issue $20,-
000,000 in first lien refunding mort-
gage bonds has been filed with the

GREECE WILL ABIDE
BY ALLIED DECISION
By Associated Press
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 8.—If
Italy accepts yesterday's decision of
the Inter-Allied Cuncil of Ambassa-
dors, Grece will view her dispute with
Italy settled and will not push her
request to the League of Nations to
investigate the crisis, M. Politis,
Greek spokesman, told an Associated
Press correspondent today.
He added, however, that the accep-
tance by Greece was contingent upon
whether the program for settlement
reached at Paris incldued arrange-
ments for Italian evacuation of Corfu
and other Greek islands seized by the
naval forces of Italy.
The proposals contained in the note
which the Inter-Allied Council of Am-
bassadors has sent to Greece, virtu-
ally are identical to those of the orig-
inal ultimatum dispatched to Athens
by the Italian premier. All penalties
the council would impose are in con-
formity withh Italian demands, except
that the Hellenic fleet shall salute the
flags of three Allied nations instead
of Italy’s alone. The highest Greek
military authority shall present the
government's regrets for the Janina
murders to three Allied representa-
tives in Athens.
STATE OFFERED LAND IN
JUDGMENT BY SYNDICATE
Austin, Texas, Sept. 7.—The State
of Texas has been offered its choice
of three selections of land by the
Capital Syndicate in payment of the
final judgment in a suit brought by
the state to recover excess acreage in
the original 3,000,000 acres paid for
building the present state capitol. The
suit was decided in favor of the state
by the Supreme Court last year.
■Each ■‘selection comprises 69,298
acres, the amount of the judgment.
Neither selection is in a solid body,
it being In two tracts in Archer Coun-
ty, three In Dallam county and three
in Hartloy county.
Land Commissioner Robison and At-
torney General Keeling will Inspect
the tracts within the near future to
see which the state will accept, If
any. The inspection will be to sea
whether the land measures up to the
value of the average in the 3,000,000
original grant. When the land is ac-
cepted, it will be surveyed under the
supervision of Commissioner Robison
and placed on the market for sale.
The suit to recover the land wai
brought against the Capitol Syndicate
last year by the attorney general’s de-
partment when the records were found
to show that the state had paid the
syndicate 69,298 acres in excess of the
3,000,000 acres agreed on as payment
for erection of the present state capi-
tol.

STILL AFTER MARY’S GOAT
Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece
was white as snow; It strayed away
one summer day, where lamb3 should
never go. Then Mary sat her down
and tears streamed from her eyes;
she never found the lamh, because
she did not advertise. ’And Mary had
a 'brother, John, who kept the village
store, he sat down and smoked his
BE8T JOB PRINTING AT HERALD. pjpe> an(j matched the open door. And
as the people passed along and did
not stop to buy, John still sat down
and blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff dosed him out,
but still he lingered near and Mary
I came to drop with him a sympathizing
, tear.
“How is it sister, that these other
merchants here sell all their goods and
things from year to yoar?” Remem-
bering now her own had luck, the
little maid replies, “Those other fel-
lows get there, John, because they ad-
vertise."—Forney Messenger.

FAIRBANKS AT HIS BEST IN
"MUSKETEERS” AT PRINCESS
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Alexander Dumas always gave good
measure. He surpassed himself in a
good measure when he wrote “The
Three Musketeers.” Analysis of this
best beloved story in the worlds li-
brary of romantic fiction demonstrates
why this is true. The prolific French
author filled the book not only with
suspense situations, wit and action,
but also threw In, with a lavish hand,
a most powerful group of characters—
a group hard to match in any other
novel. Each one of the characters was
really worthy of a separate story.
To every reader of “The Three Mus-
keteers” memory brings a panorama
of distinctly visualized personalities,
every one vital and breathing. Louis
Xni of France, the King; his Queen,
Anne of Austria; the Cardinal; the
henchman, de Rochefort; Buckingham
the English courtier and statesman;
Milady Inter, the readly and fascinat-
ing adventuress; de Treville, blunt
and masterful captain of the king's
musketeers; the gentle Constance,
sweetheart of the book’s hero; the
swaggering, adventuresome trio whoso
slogan was “One for all, all for one!”
•Athos, Porthos and Aramis. And the
outstanding character who bewitches
th^ imagination—D’Artagnan.
Of the whole troop, D’Artagnan dom-
inates the reader’s interest. Poverty,
youth, ambition, courage, native
shrewdness, extravagance, hot temper
and good humor—these are mingled In
the agile young cadlet whose ambition
was to he worthy of a commission in
the king's company. If any reader of
this day were asked who might best
typify the volatile spirit of 'Artagnan
—were D’Artagnan to be played—the
answer would be Douglas Fairbanks,
th° mercuric genius of the screen.
Dumas died before the period of
Douglas Fairbanks, but he might pro-
phetically have written the story for
him, since the announcement is now
broadcast that Fairbanks will appear
at the Princess Theatre in “The Three
Musketters" and play D’Artagnan. And
he Is Indeed worthy of the strength
of the story and worthy of its fame,
and worthy of Its character wealth.
Unless he can find greater material, It
will always remain Fairbanks’ biggest
picture.
As tho most engaging, lively and
dashing film favorite, Fairbanks has
found the role temperamentally Ideal.
For, consider the Dumas story and Its
opportunities.
