Many folk thought he had been in training with his gang of bronco busters solely for film purposes. Tain't so, entirely. Carey wants to help drive out the bolsheviki. So he has offered the services of his rough-Eiders to combat the reds. He believes his sharpshooters from the plains would obtain effective results. However, he says they may have to discard their, ponies it they are to invade the east side. New York, to drive anarchy from that melting pot. Carey himself, if necessary, will go unaided into the red retreats to use his shootin' irons against the menace of radicalism. M. G. Rogers, publicity expert in the Omaha offices of Universal, has a big idea. He has heard there are a lot of red in Omaha, and more on the way. He thinks if the bolsheviki set rampant in Omaha, Carry might be persuaded to come here td aid the local authorities in keeping anarchy down to a minimum in the Gate City. Rogers ideas have been visualized by an expert of The Omaha Dally N'cws in the accompaning cartoon. -+>*IHyAKlKS. ' 1 ■*3 iVeCL CW ffOT as n and & gin 01 nigh ideals.
