P. Heath from Theodore Seixus Solomen’s story, and directed by Donald Crisp. Mr. Salisbury is supported by a se- lected cast of players headed by Jane Novak, who is said to possess the most beautiful eyes of any motion picture actress, and including Bar- ney Sherry, Alan Hale, Lillian Leigh- ton, Elinor Hancock, Anne Cudahy, Michael Cudahy, Miltonr Markwell, George Burrell, Sydney Dean and Marcel Daly. “The Bdrbarian,” whihc has been declared by critics to be one of the most notable films of the year, is a powerful dramatic story of conflict ‘Detween right and wrong. Its prin- cipal character, played by Mr. Salis- bury, is a clean, unsophisticated oy of the woods. Knowing no phase Knowing no phase of life except his own, he is uncouth and unused to the refinements of metropolitan civil- ization. He meets a society girl from the city with whom he fall sin love. ‘This forms the basis of one of the most beautiful romances of the screen, a story that will linger long in memory (because of its sweelness and Dbeauty. erty-stricken, “NOBODY” AT REX THEATER | TODAY AND WEDNESDAY | Jewell Carmen, the magnetic screen star whose latest story under Roiaml West’s direction for P National will be shown at the Rex, theater for two days beginning Tues- | lay, with the mystifylng title of| Nobody,” plays the part of a young bride, who is taken by her husband, Tom Smith, to Palm Beach for their honeymoon. “Little Mrs. Sm as she is| known to the pleasure seekers, is en- thralled by her first taste of “high and jumps into the whirlpool of gayety with childish spontaniety, nearly breaking the bank at the roulette wheel.

That is the question propounded in Wanda Hawley’s latest picture. “Her Studry Oak,” and answered to the satisfaction of at least one man and one woman in the play. Sylvia Ashton plays a good ocmedy role as a mannish woman ranch owner who hopeles: loves Walter Hiers, the fat hero in “Her Sturdy Oak,” which appears at the Elko theater tonight and tomorrow. Miss Hawley is cast as a delicate clinging vine, and the contrast between the | vine and the strong-minded woman is exceedingly funny. The two-part comedy ‘“‘Where My Wife,” featuring Monte Banks, is also in the Elko program tonight ard Wednesday. * “BROADWAY AND HOME” AT ELKO THURSDAY “Broadway and Home” is both the title and the locale of Eugene O'Brien’s latest .

If you did, the chanees are that this occurred in thun- derstorm weather, writes C. A. Briggs in Popular Mechanies Magazine. It has been the exp nee of many jew- elers that In thunderstorm seasons the nutiber of broken wateh mainsprings greatly. This has been erro- aseribed, though somewhat to the eftect of electricity. magnetism, and of the noise from the thunder, vbut an analysis of the ex- planations attempted fails to develop any reasonable relation in accord with these ideas, This matter has vecently been made the subject of sclentific study. It was finally found to arise from the fuct that at this time of (he year the air was both warm and mweist, and that both of these conditions facilitated rusting. A small spot of rust often starts on the spring or'in a crack, and the spring soon weankens and lets go. Figs Flourish in Poorest Soll. Consul Homer M.

THEIR CHAIRMAN Senator From lowa Teils How ‘Agricul- tural Interests, Hardest 'Hit by the War, Are in Great Need of Legis- | lative Aid. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—The American farmer | is having his day in the legislative | halls of the National capitol. Never | before has the volce of the agricul- turist been so potent when it comes to lawmaking. Why? Because a group of senators, with- out regard to party affiliations, who | hail from agricultural states banded | themselves together at the outset of | the new congress for the purpose of | “alding the farmer.” The farmer had been harder hit by the after-the-war | readjustment of prices than any other | group or class in the country. This group got together—each sen-| afor Intent upon doing the best for the farming element—and determined, | first, upon an organization or. coali- tion, and, second, upon a program of ! farm legislation. William Squire Ken- | von of Towa was chosen chairman of | the meetings of the agricultural | group. Senator Kenyon is one of the most modest men in congress. - He invari- ably endeavors to put the soft pedal upon any publicity about himself, and when a correspondent went to him in | search of an interview regarding the | now famous “agricultural bloc” of the | senate, the first injunction laid upor | him by Senator Kenyon was that he should not be set down as the “head” | of the organization. } Bloc Without a Head. “A number of the senators, intent | upon aiding the farmer, have organ- ized this ‘blo¢’ as it has come to be called,” said Senator Kenyon. “We | all of us have the interests of the ag- ricultural class at heart—none more so than any one of the others. “I noticed that one of the newspa- pers recently asked, ‘Who is this agri- cultural blochead? ™ said the senator, with a twinkle in his eye. “As a matter of fact, the bloc has no head.” Long before the organization of the present bloc in the, senate, Senator Kenyon was engaged actively-in leg- islative work to help the farmers. He comes from one of the great farm- Ing states of the country, and one, of his great pleasures Is to get back home to the “farmers’ picnics” where he can talk to the people and get their angle. He is a farm owner himself, though he says distinctly that he does not wish to pose as a farmer. He is a lawyer. But he lived on a farm when he was a boy, and werked on ‘a farm. “What was the need of the farmer bloc?” 4 “That's a fair enough question,” re- plied Senator Kenyon. he farmers of the country were in desperate con- ditlon—they still are. They had suf- fered more acutely than any other hody, due to the deflation after the war. - They are the backbone of the country. They produce the food which the whole country must have. It/ was imperative that something be done | for them. “At first there was an inclination in some quarters to treat the farmer roup lightly. But senators from the East now realize that much depends upon restoring prosperity to the farm- erg.ty = * S 5 Thé farmer bloc "has never. had | more thun 22 senators at its meetings, | Senntor Kenyon "snid. But- it has ! worked together so effectually that it hak forced.measures for farm aid out into the senate, and once these meas- ures were before the senate other sen- ators ‘have, perforce,” joined in their support. Its power was dewmonstrated in the session before the adjournment for recess.! i Six Arlingtons Abroad. Plans for care and maintenance of the four cemecteries In France, and one each in Belgium and England, In which it is proposed to concentrate all American war dead In urope, have been presented to Pres- Ident Harding by Charles Moote, chalrman of the fine arts commission. The President is said to have ex- pressed satisfaction with the plans ap- proved by the commission, which were drawn up after a committee, headed by Mr. Moore, had visited tbe ceme- teries for American dead ‘in Kurope. Mr. Moore sald he was “ehtirely sat-| isfied” with his visit to the President. The six cemeteries {in, which even- tually all Ameriean war dead are to be concentrated will all be similar in design to ‘Arlington, Mr. Moore sald. “Unless we make them all little Ar- lingtons no one:will know years hence that American soldiers (fought in| France,” he 'added | Commission’s | Suggestions. The report approved by the com- mission provides for three standard principles in the American cemeteries in Europe and England. These are small headstones, green grass and| shade trees In the cemeteries. “We, are also asking for additional land! about these cemeteries ut a cost ntl not_to exceed $200,000," Alr. Moore sald, The six cemeterles are to be at Suresnes, where thousands of Amerl- can war dead are buried; Belleau Wood, Romagne In the Argonne, Bony, Brookwood, England, and Thiaucourt, Belgium. At: the request of the secretary of ‘war in March, 1921, Mr. Moore headed a commission which went to Europe with ‘a view to- prepufing the plans ap- proved by the fine arts commission, Mr. | Moore ‘was 'accompanled “by William, Mitchell 'Kendall; ‘James L. Green- leaf of ‘tlie fine “arts commission; Lieut. Col. C. C. Plerce, chief of the graves registratfon 'service, and ‘Maj. | George Gibbs, Jr., landscape architect, The plans were ‘approved by the fine arts commission’ June 9, and wiil be presented to the secretary of war for his approval. The members of the commission, the report said, “found that the exlisting cemeteries were excellently cared for, being’neat, orderly and well kept. In every. respect they compared favor- ably with the French and British cem- eteries. Even in the case of the small cemeteries and of isolated graves there 'was evidence of respectful and reverent care.” Original - Graves Scattered. Originally bodles of American sol- dlers were. scgtered in about 2,400 different cemeteriesin France. After the armistice, the bodies were gathered up and concentrated in ahout 1,000 cem- cterfes, and the ‘work of concentration has gone steadily on until now there are few small cenieteries left. The, report further says: “Our, ceweteries ;are located in the regions where: our troops were en- gaged. Théy oecupy sections of.-the battlefields over which our men fought bravely and successfully. They mark historic spots, dear to.the American heart. They will be the objects of pilgrimages by our people. Therefore they should be maintained permanent- 1y in all those places where American valor was'conspicuous. Otherwise our participation in those historic battles is in danger of being lost sight of | both by our own succeeding generations and by our associates in the war. This is even more apt to be the case owing to the fact that, due to our entry late in the war, our losses are small when compared with the losses of Krance and England.” Italy to Get Hughes’ Portrait, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes consented recently to lay aside the affairsrof his-department for an hour or so a day at brief intervals to pose for an oil portrait. which is to be presented by 100,000 Italian citizens in America, to thg Italian government as a mark of the esteem in which the secretary js-held, Dy Itallans, not only in the land, of their adoption, but in that of their nativity. His letter of acceptance. was agdressed to Dr. Pas- quale Badia, who made the request on behalf of a gengral committee of his Ttalian admirers, headed by Justice John J. Fréschi of New York city. The request foi’ Secretiry Hughes to pose for lils portrait was made after his admirers were informed, through the Italian ambassador, that such a gift would be most acceptable to the Italian government. ‘The invitation came as a complete surprise to Secre- tary Hughes, nnd, so far as his friends can remember, it 1§ without precedent. Italians Admire Him. The movement among the Italians to procure an oil portrait of Secre- tary Hughes was prompted not only by thelr desire ;to pay a personal tribute to Mr. Hughes, but also by n growing sentiment of friendliness and understanding between the two coun- tries. Mr. Hughes has endeared him- self particularly to this element by what he has done to promote closer relations between Italy and America in commerce as well as in diplomacy. Perhaps his most effective efforts in this direction were made while Mr. Hughes was president of the Italy- America society. The appointment of Mr. Hughes as secretary .of state was reclived with the greatest satisfactlon in Italy, and there were demonstrations in many Italian communities in honor of the occasion. On this side of the Atlantic the admirers and friends of Secretary Hughes are anxious to show the folk back in the old country that a secre- tary of state i not without honor in his own country. The plan was originated in the Italian colony in New York city. It met with such immediate approval that a committee was organized to further it. Justice John J. Freschi of the court of special sessions is chair- man of the general committee and among Its members are TFiorelin H. LaGuardia, president, of the board of nldermen; State Senator Salvatore Cotillo, Professor Angelo Patri and Dr. Badia. How He Promoted Cordiality. “Dueing his long term as president of the Italy-America soclety,” caid Justice Ireschi, “Judge Hughes gave much of his valuable time to the pro- gram of that organization—and it was an immense program. The Italy- America soclety was organized for the purpose of promoting more cordial re- lations between the two countries. “It was largely through the activie ties of Judge Hughes that this society brought ubout the exchunge professor- ships between, Italy. and America, the exchange of students and the stimula- tion of commerce and the things which go to make the two. nations betfer friends.. Judge Hughes lhas always shown {he most active interest in Italian relating to Americn, and it is in recognition of his sincere friendship for, Italy that the Italinn citizens of the United States, both na- tive-born and foreign-horn, are anxious o present to Iialy his portrait” FORECASTS APPROVA LOF DEEP WATERWAY PROJECT { Fargo, N.
