'to advisory hoard,mesibers informing!

•Proper plow adjustment and the

Sidney 'Harwood >was born May 15,
3:548, a son -of William. W. and Polly
-M. Hoi den Harwood, early pioneers
fitam P llmyt-a, New York, and pass'-d*
away pea'*eful',y August 24, 1927,
aeeel 79 .-ytasrs.
His entira life was spent in the old
.Harwood homestead, built the year of
■iis birth, 1S1S.
Mr. Harwood was married to MisR
'Cornelia .7. -Stevens October 4, 1S77,
aniS this union was bCessed by "three
ichl5dren. .Mrs. Harwood passed away
■in the early prime ojC life and Mr.
Harwond was later married 'to her
sister., Miss .Mary R. -Stevens Deeem,-
ber 45, 1SS7, who preceded him in
death ten years ago.
Mr. Harwood was characterized by
his 'bstne&ty, uprightness and eheer-
fuTn.ess   in   disposition, and   leaves a
at Liberty.
-Charles R, Rogers, jproducer of
"Somewhere in Sonora,," which comes
to the Liberty theatre on Saturday,
has a mania for breaking traditions
regarding villains in motion pictures.
His latest production starring Ken
Maynard, has for a -locale, Arizona
and Mexico. Hence, tradition would
call for a sneering mustachioed Mexican to do the "dirty work" In the
picture. Instead, the Mexicans ap|-
pe,ar as oleaai-cut friends of honest
Americans and aid them from villainy of the low-class whites.
Rogers ddi something similar with
Ken Maynard's last picture, "The
Overland Stage." Being a story of
early settlers in the west, the usual
motion picture proceeding would be
to have Indians as trouble-makers.
IinsteaJd,„v the poor Indian was given
an opporunity to appear as he really
was in history—the victim of unscrupulous white men.
This is but one of the many phases
in which "Somewhere in Sonora" is
different from the usual run of Western pictures;. Photography, story, and
cast are in the biggest .feature class.
Kathleen Collins appears as Keu
Maynard's leading lady, others in the
cast including Yvonne Howell, Carl
Stoekdale. Charles Mlailes, Ben Cor-
bit, Monty Montague, Joe Bennett
and Richard Neill.
