Artists’ Corporation, is. insured - .exclusive first run at his house- The engage- ~ ment will be for a full' period’ of : three days, the date of the premeiere il being tentstively set for Oct. 1, 2 end 3. It is said that there was con- siderable competition for this picture here, in spite of its magnitude which restricts it to the accommodations of only the more important housges. “Orphans of the Storm” is the lat~ est triumph of the genius who pro- duced the series of master films be- ginning with: the “Birth of a Na- tion” “and’ running" through: ' “such successors as: “Intolerance”, *“Brok- - “Orphans of the Storm” is D. 'W- Griffith’s biggest,”” says Manager Brinkman ‘of the: Rex. It ig the most brilliant - spectacle ‘ever prodaced in America, and-that- leavés: nothing to be said. ‘Based on ‘the stirring nielo- drama “The Two Orphans” with & ‘record’ of a half century's success, the Griffith film utilizes evefy 'bit of dramati¢ action in it and displaya it against Titanic background of ac- tion and atmosphere of' the period —the French revolution R Not only has a great spectacular undertaking been accomplished in the new Griffth film, but it is played by a notable cast. For the first time since the “Hearts of the World” the two Gish sisters are in one {film, as the two orphans. - . Other players are the sensational ly magnetic Joseph Schildkraut, star of the stage success “Liliom”, Monte Blue, Frank Losee, Sheldon Lewis Sidney Herbert, Creighton Hale, Kate Bruce other Griffith selections. “THE KICK-BACK” AT REX THEATRE TONIGHT A big quickshooting tale, full“of the sizzling action of tense drama warm with ‘the . glow of romance and-all set - amid the sun-baked stretches of the Arizona bad-lands— that’s Harry Careys’ latest screen drama “The ' Kick-Back, scheduled for exhibition tonight, last times at y the Rex theatre. “The Kick-Back” was built like a racing motor, for speed—and still more speed. - As ' a’ ‘lone cow-boy fighting desperately against the plot- ting of a band of crooks who Seek the water hole he owns in the middle of the desert,” Carey has a rolé that fits hini'like a’ well-cut suit- Others in"the cast are Ethel Grey Terry as his leading’ lady and Menry B.

Walsh and released by R-C Pictures corporation.- It will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight last showing. E Not in the least engrossing of the numerous interesting episodes of the production is the barmitzvah party held in accordance with the age-old Jewish custom of feting a‘lad of thir- teen when he is confirmed and enters the church. Several Jewish families were “in- vited to take part in the picture mak- ing and they played their roles, how- ever small, with pronounced sincer- ity. Mr. Walsh was particularly anx- ious to strike a note of reverent re- straint in these scenes, especially in those in which the rabbi takes part in the feast and serves.the bread and wine. This, in fact, is one of the highlights of the production arnd re flects high credit’ upon Mr. Walsh. Not a single detail was omitted to make the party the real thing. “THE STORM” COMING TO ELKO THEATRE SATURDAY “The Storm”; the UniversalJewel. attraction which has won widespréad comntendation as = the ! outstanding séreen success of the'year;-comes fo the: Elko theatre on Saturday fof. an engagement’ of ‘four days.

The message in “Poverty of Rich- es” will be indorsed by all societies and organizations ~ and individuals who are concerned with the welfare of the American people.

Stevenson and Anne Corn- wall, formerly. a Universal star. The picture with such 2 cast, ought to be well worth seeing. APE EXPERT -MONEY TESTER 8aid te Be Impossible to Fool Animals of ‘Siam “With Any Counter- foit Money. '~ . ‘The :people of Siam are very.fond of keeping” monkeys: of ;various kinds as:pets.” ‘Owing to their cldse associ- ation- with human beings, these crea- .tures ‘become very intelligent. One of the mokt: remarkable things' tliat these monkeys can do is to test money. In. Siam there is a large amouiit of counterfeit money, perhaps ‘more than in any other country in the world. ‘As 'a cunsequence, the lot of the merchant is a_difficuit one.

N Story of the High Heel. The high-heeled shoe was intro- duced ,In the Middle ages, when both men and ‘women took to it.

B (Prepared by tha United States Department of Agriculture.) Plans for the more orderly market- ing of native lambs at Jersey City and New York city, and the elimination of violent fluctuations in prices of live and dressed ‘lambs ut these markets, are to be worked out by a committee representing live stock commission men, slaughterers, retailers, railroads, stock yar@ companies at Jersey City dnd New York, eastern lamb producers and :the. United Staies Depurtment of Agriculture. This committee was appointed as a result.of the conferénce called recently by the \United States Department of Agriculture, at Jersey City. At this conference members of.the trade rep- resenting the various interests en- gaged in the bhandling, marketing, slaughtering and retailing of lambs at Jersey City and New York met repre- sentatives of sheep and lamb pro- ducers and the department. Practical- ly all the factors responsible for the wide fluctuation in lamb prices at Jer- sey City during certain periods were brought out by full. discussion. The conference déveloped the fact that-the lamb problemn at Jersey City, is a production and marketing prob+ lem “combined, and”that its solution lies largely” in the hands of the pro- ducers® and - slaughterers of native laiubs, although live stock commission men and retail meat dealers can assist in remedying the situation:~ 3 Occupies Key Position, Jersey City occiipies a key position in the channel of distribution between the lamb producers and the largest center of consumption, inasmuch as it is the final public concentration point for live lambs. destined for New .York city, the greatest consuming center for dressed lamb in the United States and a ‘market that requires a high-grade product. It was shown.that erdinarily Jersey ' City has a..reputation of-being the highest lamb migrket in the country, but that during June; July and August it-suffers. violent price fluctuations be- cause of the big increase in receipts of native lambs from Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsyiva- nia, Michigan and New York, without any materidl decrease in the supply of| live and dressed ldmbs received there and at®* New York city from Western points. - The situation is complicated by the marked irregularity in the vol- ume of the daily receipts during those months and by the inferior quality of the offerings, most of whick arrire un- sorted and ungraded It was brought out that the poor quality of these lambs-is due largely to the failure of producers to use bet- ter breeding stock and proper feeding methods aud to dock and ecastrate their lambs at the proper time. The fact that native lambs in so many in- stances become infected in the ‘sum- met months with diseases of parasitic origin, particularly stomach = worms, makes it very important that they be | marketed before the milk fat disap~ pears. . These lambs usuxlly are dropped at a period which. requires that they be markéted during: the months of June, City in'larger numBers than the de: mand - can absorb, any come in com- petition with the highigrade live and dressed Western: lambs, -prices break sharply ‘and affect the lamb market generally at all’ poiuts. Declines in thé dressed market often are more drastic than those in"the live market.

It was also suggested that live stack commission men - advise their patrons as to when gluts usually occur aad when there are good reasons to believe one will occur, explaining fully what happens when undesirable and unfin- s Ished lambs are sent to tl:e Jersey City market. It was recommended. that retailers feature lamb in their advertising and selling efforts during the period ot ex- cessive receipts and give consumers [ud\*a\nmge ot recessions in wholesale prices.

FORECASTS INCREASE Growers in West Re}:eive Predic- tions Through/Agents. Seed Is Largely Grown From Second Crop and if Season Is Late Frost and Haryest Periods Come Close Together. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Forecasts of weather conditions for alfalfa harvest are widely distributed in_the West, particularly in Oklahoma, where 2,000 or more growers receive, the forecasts through the local agents of the extension service of the United States Department of Agriculture. In Utah a rather limited but lmportant -warning service for alfalfa-seed growers is in operation. Seed is largely grown from the sec- ond crop, and if the season is late the harvest and mil frost periods come close together. As the seed crop ncreases in value at the rate of about 1$5 a day for each acre of seed when nearing maturity, the growers let. the seed stand as long as possible.
