Thither Miss Bennett, in the role of the hero- ine, journeys, in company with a con- federate, to rob the bank owned by Roger’s employer. The complications which ensued .when Rogers hears o her deed and thne final happy solu- ‘tion are said to form a_ gripping photo-drama. \ N VANCE STORY ON SCREEN Dorothy Dalton is coming to the Blko theatre tomorrow and Saturday in “The Dark Mirror,” an adaption of Louis Joseph Vance’s popular nov- eol.

Duncan in Cyrus Townsend Brady’s great ser- ial of the big out doors, ‘‘Smashing Barriers” will be shown at the Grand theatre tonight only. What has gone before: Outlaw lumberjacks, headed by Bullhead Bulger and Joe Ryan, have kidnapped Henry Manners, owner of a lumber camp. They are trying to make him affirm a forged deed. Bel- la, his daughter, has come west to look for him. She is assisted by Dick Daring, a young lumberjack, who is looked upon by the gang as a meddler. They try to put him out of the way and the girl with him. Dick and Bella escape from a living grave—a hut buried in a pit. They then escape down a lumber flume only to find the villains have chopped down the supports at one point. Dick’s strength and an overhanging tree boug save them again. They get to the city with the forged deed, which Dick manages to steal from Bullhead. Bullhead and the gang follow them. They “capture Bella and steal a ferryboat to take her away to an island. Dick follows in an automobilé with a detective and Long Tom. The gang push the auto and its occupants off the boat. Dick saves Long Tom and extriciates him from the auto. A passing launch rescues them.

That’s Tom Moore in ‘“‘One of the Finest,” coming Sunday to the Grand theatre. He’s a traffic cop, with blue coat, brass buttons 'n everything. It's a Goldwyn Picture!. OWEN MOORE PICTURE SETS NEW PRECEDENT While making his latest Selznick picture, “Sooner or Later” in which he i$ appearing this week at the Rex theatre, Owen Moore succeeded in ac- complishing what many consider wholly impossible. He broke down the high wall of precedent against motion pictures which had existed at the world famous Waldorf Astoria in New York and influenced the manage- ment to allow him and his company ;o take pictures in its sumptuous lob- Y. ing their heads, a lost confidence. Ever since the Waldorf Astoria first opened its doors, it has been one of the most exclusive establish- ments in existence. Kings and queens of fEurope have stayed there—only recently Albert and his Queen of Bel- gium, and Edward, Prince of Wales. But never had a movie camera click- ed within the hallowed walls. Just what Owen Moore whispered into the ear of the manager is not known, but it worked like a charm. In consequence, local theatre-goers will be able to see all the elegant and refined splendor of that renown- ed hotel brought to them for the first time on the magic carpet of the screen, The picture is being shown th last time tonight. : —t ALWAYS ADMIRED MIX, NEW R SA DIRECTO Although ‘““Desert Love” is the first picture in which Jacques Jaccard di- rects the “daredevil of the screen,” Tom Mix, he is not unacquainted with the work of the Fox star. “I have watched the steady ascent to popularity that has been Tom Mix’s fortune,” the director asserted. “I saw with tremendous interest the pictures which served -as his ladder for that ascent. I adways admired the great cowboy’s courage and skill, and am proud to have the opportun- ity to co-operate with him. “Frankly, I believe that in ‘Des- ert Love’ he surpasses himself. It is only natural that he should be secur- ing more powerful effects in every production. But here he has the ad- vantage of an exceptionally strong storly, palpitating with fight and aquiver with thrills. “I never have met a man who is more keenly in love with the spec- tacular and the apparently impos- sible than Tom Mix.” “Desert Love,” which Mr. Jaccard directed, will be shown at the Rex theatre on May 14, 15.

FOR TREATING SEED POTATOES OUTLINED Detail Explanation Given 'as to Equipment, Treating, Selec- tion and Precautions By A. W. Aamodt. The following method for treat- ing seed potatoes with corrosive.sub- limate (commercial) is recommend- ed for use where the growers are planting from two to 20 acres. If the acreage is larger than 2. acres it would be advisable to secure a tank that will hold a large amount of po- tatoes at one time. B By the following method and with only one barrel, a person can:treat from 25 to 30 bushels with oné solu- tion. If four or five barrels are used one man can treat 100 to 150 bushels of potatoes in a day. It will require six ounces of corrosive sublimate for each barrel used and this -amount will treat six batches of potafdes. A 52-gallon barrel will hold from3% to 41% bushels of potatoes, so with the six batches ome can treat about 27 bushels, enough for planting 214 to 21, acres of potatoes. 1 Equipment. 1.—A platform from two to_three' feet high. i 2.—2 52-gallon barrel with a hole bored near the bottom and fitted with a pine plug. Set barrel upon tLue platform. 3.—A half-barrel or tub which will hold at least 30 gallons of lquid. Mark the height of the 30 gallons of solution so as to eliminate measur- ing when making the other’so! Ations. 4.—A wooden pail to dip theJiquid from the tub. 5.—Six ounces of corrosive’ subli- mate. Making the Solution Pour two gallons of hot water into the tub and add four ouncesof the corrosive sublimate. Stir thoroughly until the corrosive sublimate has all dissolved, then add enough cold .wa- ter to make a total of 3v gallons of solution, Indianapolis, May 6.— Appeals from relatives of American’'s fallen heroes sleeping in approximately fifty thousands graves in 400 cemeteries throughout France, asking that none of them be overlooked in the Memor- ial Day ceremonies to be conducted by the Paris post of the American Legion on May 30, are being received at the national headquarters of the Legion here by hundreds from all parts of the United States. To insure success of the plan to place flowers on every American grave in Europe through contribu- tions of $5 from each of the more than 8,000 legion posts now organiz- ed, National Adjutant Bolles today wired members of the national execu- tive committee in every state asking them to cooperate with their various department headquarters to see that each port forwarded its quota to the fund in time to reach the national treasurer here within a week if pos- sible. Treatine , 1.Fill the barrel with screened po- tatoes, as dirty potatoes waste the solution and also weaken it. 2.—Add enough of the solution from the tub to cover the potatoes. It will require about 23 gallons. About 1 gallon will be lost with each batch treated. 3.—The tubers should soak in this solution for 1% hours. Then pull the plug and let the solution drain into the tub. 4.—The potatoes should be remov- ed from the barrel and spread out to dry. A good method would -be to have a low wagon next to the plat- form so that the potatoes could be dumped into the wagon box and then spread out. 5.—Six batches can be treated in this way, after which the solution should be thrown away. These six batches can easily be run through in a day and there will be just about enough potatoes to plant 2% to 2% acres. It one desires to treat only enough potatoes for one acre, the same direc- tions as above shou’d be followed, ex- cept that the proportions should be cut in half. i Renewing the Solution. The solution decreases.in strength with use, so that it will be necessary to add two more ounces of the cor- rosive sublimate. This can be done while the third batch is soaking. Pour two gallons of hot water into the pail, add two ounces of corros- sive sublimate, and stir until dissolv- ed. Pour this solution into the tub. It will mix with the solution that drains from the third batch so that the 4th, 5th and sixth batches will be renewed. B Caution and Precautions: Corrosive sublimate is a poison. It is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and is ‘sold in either a crystal-or powdered form. . 3 . Keep all livestock away from the treating equipment and the solution. Napoleon's Choice of Reading. A traveling library of 800 volumes accompanied Napoleon to Waterloo, included in these being the Bible, Homer, Ossian, Bossuet, and all the 70 volumes of Voltaire. Three days after his final abdication he wrote for a library from Malmaison, which in- cluded books on America, himself and his campaigns, a collection of the “Moniteur,” the best dictionaries and encyclopedias.

It corrodes metals so, therefore, must be put in wooden, granite or cement containers. The barrels, tubs or other utensils may be easily cieaned out by rinsing after the treatment is completed. Bury the solution and the waste potatoe pieces in a pit as soon as the treating and cutting is completed. Use clean containers, such as sacks, baskets, bins, etc., to put the potatoes into, after treating, to avoid contamination. Bins and equipment can be disin- fected by scrubbing out with a solu- tion of one pint of formaldehyde to 10 gallons of water. Do not leave the potatoes in the solution' too long. Injury to the eyes may result. When treating enough potatoes for only a few acres, ask the druggist to put the corrosive sublimate into two-ounce cartons or packages. It will aid you in making up the solu- tion. Dry the potatoes after treating or plant at once.

Although the Northern Baptists are planning practically to double the ex- tent of their wission work in foreign fields during the next five years as a part of the New World Movement, mere than three-quarters of the $100,000,000 they purpuse ralsing in a campaige from April 25 10 May 2 will be speat on this side of the Atlantic. The apportionment made shows $76- 101,929 will be spent in America, in- cluding $30,010,000 for Baptist schoels and colleges, and $28,808,071 will be devoted to the foreign work ef the de- nomination for the five-year peried. The amount allotted to both. home and foreign work s far in excess of any. previous expenditure of the de- nomination in a like period and the raising of the $100,000,000 within s single week is regarded by the Nerth- ern Baptists as the greatest. inancial undertaking that they ‘have ever en- tered upon. The $100,000,000 budget includes only the general extensien work of the denomination, generally classified as “benevolence,” and does not include the budgets of the local churches. In 1018 the total estimated .value of the church property of the churches included in the Northern Bap- tist Convention was $114,817,300. The 'amount raised that year for church ex- penses and benevolence was $17,851, ‘824. Of this amount $13,978,982 was for expepses and $3.372,542 for benevo- lence. It will be seen that the $100, 000,000 which the Baptists are to raise -this spring for their five-year program of benevolence menns that the largest previous annual contributien of the dhmrech for that purpose will be mults- It does mot injure the hande so' Pied nearly six-fold.
