It is the work of James Oliver Curwood who has written many successes for the screen. Irving Cummings, who di- rected ‘the feature, also plays the leading role——that of an officer in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The story.is one that requires the Lest sort of acting to put it over, and Cummings’ naturalness gives it its big appeal. He returns from the frozen north to find his sweetheart the wife of a vicious renegade. How he triumphs in one of the most crashing climaxes of the screen is enough to send shivers up and down the spine of the spectator. To see it will make you clutch your seat and hang on to the finish. In the supporting cast are Eva Novak, Wal- lace Beery, and Rin tin, the mighty dog of valor. “THE FAST MAIL” AT THE GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT Trade- press reviewers, who wit- nessed the private presentation of the Fox super-production “The Fast Mail” at the Lyric theatre, New York City, were unanimous in their ap- preciation of the film and declared it to be “a melodrama of merit, which will ‘find approval within the ‘most discriminating circles of picture en- thusiasts.” This' much heralded picture will be the attraction at the Grand thea- tre beginning tonight. Not one critic wrote adversely of the picture. Thrills abound, and the keynote of the photoplay is “speed counts.” This picture will also be shown Friday and Saturday. “THE DUST FLOWER” AT THE ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT Basil King, one of the country’s most famous novelists, has contrib- uted another noteworthy story to the motion pictures. His first novel to be pictureized was “The Street Call- ed Straight”. This was followed by “Earthbound” .one of the notable picture achievements in this country and one that marked a great advance in the making of films. Now Gold- wyn has made a superlative screen version of Basil King’s latest novel “The Dust Flower,” with Helene Chadwick and James Rennie in the leading roles. A “The Dust Flower” is coming to the Elko theatre tonight for two days and every person who is inter- ested in the entertainment, technical advancement or esthetic value of motion pictures should not fail to see it- A powerful drama, unfold- ing and appealing love story is told in the photoplay. It has been ably di- rected by Rowland V. Lee. Aside from the featured player, Miss Chad- wick and Mr. Rennie, the cast boasts Claude Gillingwater, Mona Kingsiey, Edward Piel and George Periolat. o A A . “"' Electro-Chemical Colors. The preparation of mineral and artl- ficlal organic colors by the aid of elec- tricity has made considerable progress and it 1s suggested that the products of the industry may eventually replace those derived from coal tar. Ameng the colors now produced in commercial quantities by the employment of the electric current are vermilion, Scheel’s green, cadmium yellow, Japanese red, cerise or cherry red, Berlin green and alne white, besides a number of organ- ic colors. The process conslsts essen- tially in sending an electric current through a solution containing the ele-[ ments required for the production by precipitation, of the coloring matter desired.—Exchange.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Production ‘of commercial celery is estimated by the United States De- partment of Agriculture at 22,339 cars, or 13 per cent more than the crop of 19,771 cars in 1921. Of this total, Florida produced an early crop of 5,493 cars of 350 crates each, with four to five dozen bunches per crate. Other states produced a late crop, the total of which is 16,84@ cars of 180 crates each, with elght to ten dozen /bunches per crate, Californla leads with a crop of 5000 cars, followed by Crop of Celery Is Estimated to Be 13 Per Cent Greater Than in 1921. Michigan with 4,648 cars; New York, 4,327 cars; New Jersey, 3,150 cars; ©Ohio, 875 cars; Colorado, 590 cars, and Pennsylvania, 256 cars. Florida’s estimated commercial cel- ery acreageé Increasedl fromn 2,260 acres In 1821-t6 2,670 acres in 1922, and the acreage of the late states' incrensed from 12,942 acres in 1921 to 14,460 acres in 1922, In yleld per acre, Flor- ida’s average declined from 768 crates of four to five dozen bunches each In 1921 to 720 crates in 1922, but in the late states there was a gain in the average from 206 crates of eight to ten bunches each in 1921 to 2]0 crates in 1922. Production as ; estimated includes carlot movement, movement in less than carloads, hether by freight in mixed cars, express, auto truck, or for consumption in home markets, and also that part of the crop which- for _off_the farm INN HAS HISTORIC INTEREST Hestelry on Long lsland Sound & Place of Entertainment for Hundreds of Years, One of the oldest and most distin- guished hostelries in the United States 18 the Canoe Place inn, between Shin- necock and Peconic bay, on-Long Is- land sound. The charter of this fine, old, rambling, red-brick structure was signed by Queen Anne, but the inn was doing a thriving business years pre- vious to this. An Interesting figure is the venerable figurehead of the fri- gate Ohio, which, after an honorable service, was displaced by the ironclad and finally broken up in the waters which was the cove. One of the most massive of existing figureheads, it was carved in Greece and presented, with much ceremony, to this government. It shows Hercules in impressive pose and was warranted by the Greek donors to possess magic gifts. One of the most valuable sets of registers to be found In this country is to be exam- ined in Canoe Place inn. Its famous autographs begin In 1659 with the mark of Wyandach, grand sachem of the Montauks, and include famous col- onlal governors, Manhattan, Dutch, Swedish and English, for two hundred years. The inn fell into the hands of the British authoritles during the Rev- oltittonary war and provided for the officers under Lord Howe and Sir Hen- ry Clinton—as close an approach to a elub as existed fn those days in this part of the world. PUTTING MOTHER IN WRONG Small Boy Quick to Observe Point That Might Enable Him to Es- cape Punishment. It was cherry time and Richard in- sisted on running out in the orchard ond eating the half-ripe cherries. His mother told him how much better it would be for every one if he only left the cherries until they were ripe, so they could be enjoyed. She also warned him she would punish him if he went to the orchard again. T Scon she saw him pulling off the green cherries and she went out and cut a tiny switch from the tree. Rich- ard saw her coming toward him, switch In hand, and the little lad said to her earmestly: “Mother, if you had only left that switch on the tree just think what a fne big limb it would have been some day I"™—Exchange. Hoatzin Remarkable Blrdi Strange and weird as the' adnlt hoatzin may be it is the young birds that really amaze us. For both thumb and forefinger are armed with sharp, recurved claws, better developed; than in any other known bird, and, what'Is more important, they are entirely functional. Willlam Beebe, director of the Tropical Research station in Brit- ish Guiana, has done more than any other scientist to reveal the secrets of the hoatzin. He has found that this remarkable youngster uses its wing claws to haul itself about the rough nest In which it is hatched, and also to help in climbing about among the branches, Mr. Beebe has also de- gcribed the strange ability of the paked fledgling to swim under water. TURKEY RAISING MAY BE MADE ‘ Driving a Flock of (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Despite a steady Increase in the prices producers have received for tur- keys since 1915, production has stead- ily decreased, according to figures pub- lished by-the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. The average prices received during the four months October to January, 1915-16, was 15 cents a pound. The average price re- ceived during the corresponding period in 1920-21, was 32 cents a pound. In 1900, the census figures showed 6,594,- 695 turkeys. on farms in the United States, while in 1910, there were only 3,688,708, and in 1920 there were 3,- 627,028, Big Increase in Price. During the past six years the price of turkeys has increased to the pro- ducer more than 100 per cent, while An Excellent Specimen. during the past 20 years the number of turkeys produced has decreased about 50 per cent, the department states. It is common knowledge that tur- keys are not easily handled, for by na- ture they are wanderers, and they usu- ally give considerable concern to those ‘whose duty it is to keep them on the home premises. The almost uncon- querable inclination of turkeys to wander into -the fields of neigh- bors has often caused strained feelings, and many owners of flocks have abandoned the business of ralsing turkeys on that account. Tur- keys are also seriously afflicted by a VERY PROFITABLE SOCCUPATION Turkeys to Market. disease known as blackhead which has caused heavy losses, and in some in- stances the business has been given up entirely for this reason. These causes of loss together with the frequent rav- ages of wild animals including doge and rats, have all tended to discourage development of the industry. The raising of turkeys may be a very profitable occupation where there; is an abundance of range, ample feed, and reasonable freedom from preying animals, the ‘department states. Even for those who have a limited range there are opportunities for raising-a few turkeys each year if proper time and attention’ are devoted to it. The department points out, however, the desirability of those who enter the business to study it thoroughly in all its features. Difficult to Ship Afive. It is very difficult. to ship turkeys alive to ‘market since the,skrinkage is very heavy. Ordinarily turkeys do not eat very much when confined, and therefore they are usually killed and dressed locally and then shipped to market, packed in barrels' or boxes. Turkeys, like chickens, may'be either scalded or dry picked, but the dry- picked birds are preférred in most markets because they keep better, and there are no, losses of their substance by reason of a great deal of the soluble substance being removed by soaking in water or by packing in ice. There are conditions, of course, where there is no alternative but to pack the birds in ice and ship them in ‘bar- rels. The objection to scalded-dressed birds does’ not obtain to the same ex- tent where the birds are dressed- and sold immediately to the consumer. Turkeys mdture and fleshen very much better fn the fall when the at- mosphere is crisp and fairly cold, such as prevails for some- weeks preceding the holiday season. During this sea- son the birdsware. in greatest demand, although the. cold storage product may be had at all geasons. Warm weather during the week preceding the holi- days has a marked effect on demand, and, other conditions being equal, the quulxty, of dreSsed turkeys for the hol- iday market inay be predjcted to a great degree 'by weather conditions during the fall season. PEAS WELL ADAPTED FOR MANY .SECTIONS, 'Too Much Space Required for Growing in Garden. Crop Will Thrive on Almost Any Good Garden Soil and Require Only Moderate Amount of Fertilizer —Alaska Seed Best. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Peas, sometimes spoken of as Eng- 1ish peas, -are adapted for growing! from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, | and from Malne to Californla, with ' the excep’ion of a few local sections where they:do not thrive. Peas re- quire too much space for growing ex- tensively in the small garden, say spe- clalists ‘of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, but are especially adapted to the farm garden. g JIn Florida and certain of the gulf coast regions the seed is planted in the fall and the peas gathered durlngl the first days of spring. Farther north | the seed is pldnted in February and | March and the peas ready for use in | May and June. Going still farther into New England and the northwest they are planted in April and ready for use in July or August, all depend- kent, however, upon the locality. In the southern district, where the ground rarely ever freezes, the seeds are planted about 133 inches deep, but far- ther - north where late freezes are liable to form u heavy crust over the ground the seed should be covered three to four inches in light sandy sofls but not quite so deep in heavier or clay soils. Alaska or Earliest of All is consid- ered one of the best of ‘the early va- rletiés and easy to grow. One pint of seed of the Alaska will ‘plant about 100" feet of row, and while it is de- <irable to have brush or wire netting for them to climb on, they may be grown without any support whatever. Gradus, Thomas Laxton, American Wonder, Sutton’s Excelsior and Lax- tonian are among the best early peas. Telephone and Mammoth podded sugar are among the best late sorts. Al of the later varieties need a ‘rellis or brush to climb upon. DAIRYING GOOD STABILIZER Provides Something for Farmer to Sell at Good Prices When Other Crops Fail. Dairy farming should’ not suppizwt grain, fruit or a general live stock farming, but rather supplement them. Dairying will prevent some of the ups and downs in agriculture by acting as a stabilizer and providing some- thing to sell at good prices when other crops fail. The dairy business is not a get-rich- quick business, but it is a safe and sane business; a system of farming :that builds up attractive homes, that ,creates more prosperity and supports !more people than any other kmown form of agriculture. SUCCESS WITH SHEEP FLOCK It Is Necessary to Use Good Purebred Rams and Young Ewes Are Most Desirable, In building up a flock of sheep, it IS necessary to remember to do these things: 1. Use good purebred rams. 2. Select young ewes. Yearlings, two- year-olds, or perhaps, three-year-olds are far more" desirable foe starting a flock than older ones. 3. Discard broken-mouthed ewes and ewes with .bad udders. 4. Choose ewes having good size, desirable forms and dense fleeces, the first year because u sheep makes its greatest growth during this period. 6. Give the flock good care throughout the entire year. S RAISING -SCRUB LIVE STOCK Unnecessary Waste of Time and Feed, Declares Doctor Mohler,, Chief of Animal Bureau. “There ig_increasing evidence,” de- clares Dr. J.. R. Mohler, chief of the -{ home. bureau of animal_ industry of the| United States Department of Agricul- ture, “that raising scrub live stock is an unnecessary waste of time and feed. Any live stock owner.can im- prove the quality of his herds and flocks by the better-sires route, Pure- ! bred sires permit the raising of grades, | crossbreds, or purebreds—whichever is preferred—depending on the kind of females used.” = —————————————————————— S USE THE WANT AD COLUMNS OF THE PIONEER | BIG LAKE Ephriam Stout is improving very rapidly after having an operation for tonsils and adenoids.

His Reward. “John Jurdan is dead at the age of eighty-two,” said Timrod Tarpy. “For many years he walked quietly along the stralght and narrow way, harming nobody, ‘running over no one, shoving none out of it,"and now and then pull- Ing some weaker brother back into the path. He paid for everything when he Bought it, minded his own business, dnd was not inquisitive about the af- fairs of others.
