ALMOST SUPERHUMAN (
STRENGT IS EXHIBITED
BY "HERCULES" POLO
Star In Thrilling Universal Serial,
"The Lure of the Circus" Flings
Men About as Though They
v
Were Children.
n
An exhibition of strength that will
make motion picture patrons gasp in n
g
amazement is given by Eddie Polo,
star of "The Lure of the Circus," the
sensational serial of circus life and
big business which will be shown at
the Opera House on Tuesday.
Few of the many thousands of adSi
mirers of the co-star with Marie .
Walcamp in "Liberty", and "The
I Bull's Eye", well known universal
serials, realize that the daring actor ^
is known to the melical profession as
"the perfect man", and that physically
he measures up to the standards
set by anatomists for male
physique.
In "The Lure of the Circus," the
intrepid actor, who is a stranger to
fear, performs some of.the most marvelous
feats of strength ever witnessed.
Vi
' Among the many tests of his su- ^
perhuman strength that will bfr-fea- ^
tares of the production will be the .
lifting of ten of his companions in
the circus on a plank suspendedfrom ^
Polo's shoulders. - -- ^
\ tJ
Two heavy draft horses will be al- ^
lowed to see-saw on a plank across g
Polo's chest, and in another scene
two Shetland ponies will be lifted
clear of the ground and suspended in ^
midair by the actor, who is acknowledged
to be the strongest man of the ^
age. v 0
For many years Polo was an ae- ^
rial artist with many of the largest n
circus organizations, and his early
training and constant practice since
4 entering the moving picture field ^
has kept him in the pink of condition.

)PEN CAMPAIGN FOR
BETTER PACKING OF

Plans of a most comprehensive naure
to bring about conditions which
trill make possible a marked improve- !
lent in express service throughout
he country were announced last
J
light by T. A. Stallings, local repre-j
entative of The American Railway
Express Co.
A better service campaign will be
ndertaken by the 135,000 men and
romen employed in the express busi-jif
ess, for the purpose of raising the
tandards of packing and wrapping |
i every city and town in the c/fun-j
ry.
The drive will start on February '
0 marking of express shipments. < |
Tho r?>n'pf niimose of the "Better
ervice Campaign" is to check once
nd for all, the waste of time, effort
nd money that result from lost or1
amaged shipments.
It is a source of dissatisfaction and
nrioyance to both shippers and the
arrier and tends to impair the ex-j
ress service. It is expected that air
rho ship by express?and 300,000,-j
00 shipments are annually traveling

1 the forthcoming drive, because it'
> intimately concerns the transpor-j
ition and of the many different,

A special effort will be made to,

and managers of large con-j

le belief that the proper preparation

I. Jethne's Viait to Moses (18:1-6).
1. The occasion (v. 1). Upon receipt
of the news of the marvelous deliverance
of the Israelites from the Egyptians
Jethro went out to meet Moses.
2. The object (w. 2-4). It was to
bring to Moses fail's wife and children.
When Qod called him to go to Egypt
to deliver his people Moses did not
desm It wise to take with him Lis, wife
and children, therefore Ifft jh#* with
his father-in-law. Now that Qod mad
wrought so wonderfully It was deemed
wlje for his family to join him.
" 8. The place (w. 5, 61. it Mt Sinai,
where the Israelites wore encamped.
J I. Nnn' to J thro (18:
7-12).
l&ees bonered him not only as bis
fatber-ln-law, bat u the priest of MidIan.
Jethro, though outside of the
covenant people, evidently retained
traditions ef 0>e true God, as Melchlsedek
before him did. It seems to have
bees a case of mutual affection and esteem.
Moses rehearsed to Jethro the
venders which God had wroufht
through him, and Jethro. (1) '<Rejolced
for all tile goodness which the Lord
had dene ante Pharaoh sod the Egyptians
for Israel's sake" (v. 9). (2)
Blessed the Lord (v. 10). (8) Confessed
the suyremaey of the Lord (v.
U). (4) Offersd sacrifices to God (v.
iy.
III. Jethro's Counsel (18:13-26).
1. The occasion thereof (w. 13-18),
The day after Jethro came to Mosea
he Observed how completely Moses"
time was taken in judging Israel.
When he saw the greatness of the task
be inquired as to why he was doing
the work all slone. . Jethro was a
shrewd man?he saw that a wise administration
of affairs would make a
division of labor. Moses explained to
him that his task was not merely a
matter of judging, but of teaching the
statutes and laws of God to the people.
Jethro recognised Moses' motive,
but Insisted that the method was not
a good one, as it would result In the
wasting away of his strength. Many
times one wastes his strength in doing
that whlrh nthara could do so that he
Is unable to 4o the more Important
things.
2. Jetbro*s plan (tv. 19-23). <1)
Moses to be unto the people Godward
,?to bring tbelr causes onto God and
teach them the ordinances and laws, to
show them the way wherein they must
walk, and the work which they must
do. (2) Suitable men should be provided
as rotors over thousands hundreds,
fifties and tena (v. 21). All
great matters should be disposed ot by
Moses and all subsidiary matters
-should be adjusted by these judges.
3. Qualifications of these subordinate
judges (v. 21). (1) "Able men," that
Is, men of strength. They most be men
of such intellectual power as would
enable them to understand the problems
presented, and of such will power
as to execnte the, judgments rendered.
A strong man Is one who knows his
own mt&4 and Is faithful to It. (2)
"Such as fear God.M This la the basis
of true strength. Only those are fit
to judge sad rule men who. recognise
the rule of <God over their lives. The
true statesman is the man who gives
God the rightful place Id his life. The
one who really trusts and (ears God
can be trusted to administrate the affairs
of men. (8) "Men of troth." The
one who really trusts and fears God
must himself be a loves of the truth.
He must be willing to follow after the
truth at any cost His nature must
be open to the truth. (4) "Hating covetousness."
He must be a hater of unjust
gain. The man who Is to be a
ruler of the people must be free from
hla rirnfaa.

slon because of personal gala. The
one set to do sueh work should be able
to show clean hands.
IV. Motes Accedes to Jethro's Counsel
(18:24-26).
This common sense advice met a response
in Moses* heart He recognized
that God was speaking through
Jethro. After all, the knowledge and
fear of .God was wider than the
chosen people. According to Deuteronomy
1:9-18 the people selected the
jodxes and Moses appointed them.
