MPAGE TWQ Y T T T Y TR RS YT A e " THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEERK ~ “A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT” As a special attraction, the Rex theater ;will show ‘again_this evening the big, mew William Fox film ver- sion of Mark Twain’s funniést book, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar- -thur’s Court.” Known to the multitude of Mark Twain idvers as “The Yankee,” this story. is .regarded not only as a great classic of American humor, but also as a for¢yful satire: directed against those who. sigh for the *good old times.” Mark Twain set out to show that the world we live in.is the best} of all’ possible -worlds, ‘and the time we live in is the best of all possible times. The result is exquisite fantasy and delicious fooling, with a sharpiy drawn conclusion. “The Yankee” is yated high among Mark Twain’s books Certainly it is one of the funniest. The picture was directed by Em- mett J. Flynn, noted for his skill in fidelity to detail. The Yankee is played by Harry C. Myers, a weli- known light comedian. This picture made a decided hit at the Rex Sunday and will be shown tonight and Wednesday, matinee and evening. ik FINE CAST FOR LATEST CONSTANCE BINNEY FILM Constance Binney, star of “Mid- night,” which will be; seen here to- night and Wednesday at the Elko theater, will have the support of Jack Mulhall as leading man, and a cast which includes such’ well known screen personalities as William Courtleigh, Sidney Fortier, Helen Lfnch, Edward Martindel and many extras.

The slow development of the trunks of certain trees at once calls up i~ ages of Immobility and eternity. The dragon’s blood tree of the Canaries awakens such thoughts. Thrice fa- mous for its strange looks, its vast size and its antiquity, thls dragon's blood tree Is equally so for the stu- tionary condition of its growth, In the legend of Teneriffe we are told that this singular tree was worshiped by the Guanches, its original inhabi- wants; and it Is related that in the | Fifteenth century mass was celebrat- ed In the interior of its trunk, a fact even Iately attested by the vestiges which were seen of a little altar. This tree grows so slowly that af- ter a tolerably long interval of time it was not possible to -verify any change In its circumference.

The American lawyer, his idesls, anid his' concep: tion of service, as well as his character and equipment,, both intellectdal and moral, are of Paramount impor< itance to every fian who loves his conptry and cherishes’ its ‘welfare: » The very nature of constitutional gov-" ernment makes the mission of the ‘lawyer one of, fundamental importance. In a government of law and’ order ‘the lawyer must occupy a commanding position. His relation to the state brings’ to him the call of public service. Ilis relation to clients, in the private affairs of life, demand of him intellectual and moral qualities of the highest kind. If the state requires such high and important service of the legal' profession, the lawyer who meets these requirements must be possessed of that intellectual and moral equipment that makes him efficient in per-' forming these duties. In no calling are courage and fidelity more essential than in the legal profession. We admire brilliancy, but, by comparison,’ we discount brilliancy while we hold integrity at a premium. Therefore, since the American bar must furnish the judges for our judicial system, both state and naticnal, and since from its ranks must come that vast concourse of young lawyers in the future who shall be the; educative influence to hold public opinion in sound notions of governmeent,’ | Minnesota ' SCRUB BULLS COSTING it is of deep and grave concern to our republic that the ranks of the' American bar shall be recruited with young men who not only have the moral character that shall make them trustworthy in handling a clien’s cause but shall have that moral an: d intellectual endowment that slm\" make them able to respond to every call of their country. v]-Gc‘R m BREED[NG l.associations STOCK IS NECESSARY Statisties lshow that .o1ly about 48 ‘per cent or all cnickens hawneu| on wuie 1arm are raised ao marketable age. ‘'nls mortauty resulcs in tne 1oss ox mucn valuable time and thousands of dollars annually. the chier cause oL lnis yearly loss is lack of vigor 1 the breeding stock. Most tarmers nave no breeaing pen and eggs tor hatching are chosen from tne egg basket and the eggs may be [aid by immature pullets, or hens of low vigor. The selection of a breeding pen of mature hens of strong vigor which gave a high egg production aid, not only in saving a larger per- centage of chicks but also increase the average ycarly egg production on the tarm. A scction of the poultry house should be previded for) the breedmnyg pen. Poultry nesting or woven hog- lencing may be used as a temporary Jivision to separate the breeders trom the laying tlock. The trap nest has demonstrated | that there are four distinct types of layers in the average flock as tol- lows: i Type 1, These birds start laying early as pullets and continue as late as nens. Their color - fades quickly showing persistent laying and they molt late. They are generally fast| and partial moiters and may even lay thru the molt. This demonstrates that they have high laying qualities | and great vigor. Record about 200 eggs. Type 2, This type of birds are the average layers of the farm flock. showing a low rate of production, laying two eggs and restingl one or two days, and they may continue | laying for a long period because of high vigor. Record from 100 eggs upward. Type 3, This type of hens do most‘»F of their laying in the spring months and molt early in the summer. Record about 50 eggs. , ! Type ¢, These hens begin late and| start early and are the slackers of the farm flock. They have low pro-| duction and low vigor. Eggs from such hens should never be used for hatching. In selecting the number of breed- ers, select them of Type No. 1 if possible, and mate them with' males of high vigor and high productive | ancestry and the result will be more chickens reared, and higher egg pro- | duction during the period of high-} est market prices. | N. E. Chapman, Poultry Specialist| University Farm, St. Paul, { MORE THAN GOOD ONES According to reports from Doug- las County, Minn., a group of enter- is. rapidly increasing say the specialist. and ‘wherever the plan is adopted the scrub bull is ban- ished from that territory. The econ- omy of replacing a lot of poor bulls with a few good pure bred bulls cap- able of increasing production of |the herds, is becoming very apparent to the dairyman. As the Cooperhtive Bull Associat- ion has made it possible for the farm- er to get the use of these good bulls atea small cost to each it is easily seen why the increase in the number of bull associations in the United States has been so steady. ' . The County Agent and the State Extension Forces ‘Have ‘given much assistance in organizing thgse as- sociations, says the specialist, and they can supply information on bull association to those interested in better dairy.cattle.” | In January 1918 a cnoperatiye bull association was .organized in Bowan County, North. Carolina with about 150 members. The organization bought eight bulls, at an. average price: of $360. One of those bulls was at an age when 4 great num]zer are sold to the butcher, but his’ life was saved on being bought into this bull association. -In_an issue of the Sailsbury - Evening..Post - last Dec- lember (1921) the following article regarding the bull was printed: Antoinette’s Itchen Rose King 34,774, the famous Guernsey bull owned by the Bowan County Co- operative Bull Association, and that has been under lease to the Chilmark Farms, Ossing, New York, for the past two years, was returned to Sal- isbury yesterday (about December 1, 1921) and is now stationed at the farm of C. L. Weel, president of the local association. This bull is regard- ed as the best Guernsey in Dixie and is highly regarded by all prominent breeders throughout the county. He was originally bred on Chilmark ‘aynes, Ossing, New York, and sold as a calf to a party in Ohio, and later became the property of the association_here. He has been sought after by prominent breeders all over the country and his blood is highly prized. The Chilmark farms paid the association $3,000 for the use of him for two years. It is the intention of the stockholders to usei this bull in Bowan County exclusively hereafter, which will be much to bring up the already high standard of Bowan’s Guernseys.

Stay-at-home husbands are prone to forget to. water the, flowers that adorn the sitting room, ewen though specially charged to do so by absent wives: They will doubtless welcome a device Just invented by a Frenchman, M. Pin- son, which enables plants literally to water themselves and to do so with efficiency, taking neither too much nor too little to drink, . This device, which obtained a gold medal in France, con- sists’ of a flower pot of, the usual shape, but haying a double wall. The Agscription runs,'according to the 'Lit- ‘erary 'Diges L Sicsiils o The 'space’ 'Detween the two walls this there extends two to four curved tubes, according to the shape of the pot. Each of these tubes contains a wick. The lower end of the tube dips into the reservoir of water -while the other end is bent so as to dip beneath the surface of the soil in the inner ‘pot. Consequently we really have a :set o7 siphons which are set in action by tue capillary attraction which eauses the water-to rise in the wick. 2hus there is a gintle but steady flow of moisture to tha plant. In order to adapt the apparatus to the needs of any individual plant it is only necessary to remove the inner pot aftér the end of 24 hours and note whether the outer pot still holds any water. If so, the plant is oversup- been drawn by gravity to the bottom of the inner pot and escaped through the hole in the center into the outer pot. ‘FOR LOVE, NOT BY PURCHASE’ New Attitude Toward Marriage Seen to Be Awakening Among 2hé Women of China, Closely related with the new home idea in China is the new idea on mar- riage; that is, individual choice rather than family choice; “for love, not by purchase.” Like the new home this will be a matter of slow evolution. For in China the individual is not thought of or looked upon as an entity; he is bat a part of a family which is the unit, the entdy and which at all costs must be preu\n’ed and perpetuated. Hence, in- dividval desires must be subsidiary to the wishes or the benefit-of the family. The practice of this principle throughout the long centuries has in- stilled ih children a submissiveness to parents, ‘to family, that is engulfing of personality, though it is the steel that gives strength and form to the structure of the Chinese natlon. The submissiveness is more than a con- scious obadience; §t is involuntary surrender. Consequently, though the new young woman ‘may. advocate the theory of personal choice-in marriage, only the most radical really desire it or would dare wholly to follow it, Emma Sarepta Yule writes in Scribner’s. In matters touching the soul centers, inheritance and tradition are always stronger than imported ideas, no matter how forcible their appeal to reason. Miss China still feels that in the matter of a Jif~ mate the parents’ judgment is the better. For Religion’s Sake.: The confirmation class slowly filed into the pews. Angelic little faces of erstwhile mischievous youngsters bore rapt expressions, partly due to the gerious occasion and partly to fright. Little gasps of pleasure and delight were uttered by fond parents and friends. “My dear, I thought we were a half hour foo early and here they are be- ginning the service! Something is amiss.” My curious frlend sought an usher. “Yes, madame, the bishop was kind enough to come earlier to officlate. One of the youngsters being confirmed is due at the theater by eight. She is a mermaid.” . “No, I was not perplexed,” she told me afterward, “but, ‘The world do move.’ "—Chicago Journal. Pelican Ate Golf Ball. A pelican, one of those huge, long- beaked marine birds that poise them- selves a hundred feet above the wa- ter, close their wings and with beaks open dive head foremost into schools of small fish, finished a golf game in St. Petersburg, Fla., recently “one down.” The Coffee Pot course is along the shore of Tampa bay and on the eleventh hole is a small brackish lake forming a water hazard, which must be crossed to reach the green. One memher of a foursome drove from the tee and a strong wind car- ried the ball into the lake. A pelican flying lazily above the lake evidently took the ball bobbing on the surface for a new variety of fish, for he sud- denly closed his wings, dropped with terrific speed and gobbled it. ‘What Counte.’ 3 There was a gleam of triumph in the womanc:he loved. .o 2t “I'm going to write a great novel that will make me famous,” he sald. The beautiful girl remained seated and made no, reply. A “Then I have a scheme to bring peace and happiness to the world,” he continued. She still remained seated. “In order to carry out this scheme I needed money,” he went on, “so I played the market and won over a mlllion.” She jumped up and fell Into his| arms. Trees of Great Age. The lime tree at Morat, planted at Fribourg on the day of the celebratéd battle, is one of the oldest trees in Europe. This glorious event in the his- tory of Switzerland, having occured in 1476, the venerated tree, which is en- circled by a colonnade and of which the aged branches are upheld :by a framework of wood, must be. almost 430 years old. . The fir attains a still greater age. In some of the meost anclent forests of Germany, situated on the summit of the Wurzelburg in Thuringia, as many as 700 annual layerg have been counted on some of the trees cut down there. The olive tree; $0; ’x-egmd}lpl ancient Greece and whi¢h inspired ‘such beauti- ful verses in thetpagedy of Oedipus by Sophocles, reached 4 njiich greater age, according to the smcient: myth. Pliny even asserts, that Iif his. me the cele- brated olive tree which-Minerva caused to spring from the:ground at the time of the foundation of the city of Cecrops was still to be seen in the citadel of Athens. 3aoscribe for Tne Daily Ploneer.
