AT THE PICTURE SHOWS
The OrDhcnIn.


Very interesting program for Tues
days change:
1. "a Geranium." Vitagraph. One
touch OF nature makes all hearts
akin. The bright and sweet influ-
ence of little flower will very often
arouse hope and the dormant quail
ties which transform our natures and
bring about most beneficial results.
2. "a Sacrifice to Civilization" Sc
lig. Too little attention Is paid in
literature and the drama to the very
human and beautiful attributes Of the
Indian nature his love and kindness
to his children, the closeness of the
ties that bind m to his kindred and
his observance, avage though he may
be-. of the Christian precept, to
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother"
In this picture an attempt is made to
show him in the higher light, one al
together different from the usual ma
rauding, burning, scalping part he
plays in the moving picture.
3. Ancient and Modern London"
Eclipse. A trip down the Thames
from Westminster Abbey to the
Greenwich Hospital. Excellent views
of the Thames EmDankment Tower
Bridge, Cleopatra's Needle, Tower of
London, London Bridge and Lower
River
4. "Boys Will Be Boys" Eclipse.
The two who play pranks in this film
are typical mischief-makers who know
no law but the ability to avoid pun
shment.
5. "Oh. You Teacher" Essanay. A
novel rural farce comedy with many
laughs There is an air of reality in
the scenes of this comedy of rural
I life which makes it a most noteworthy

pounds of pork an acre, worth at the
present market price, $14 This is
acquired without the expense of har-
vesting, as the hogs attend to gather
ing the crop and will leave the land
in better condition for wheat produc-
ton than bare Summer fallow.
Revenues Could BE Doubled.
There are splendid opportunities
for farming in the Columbia River
Basin along different lines from those
heretofore followed. The farmers of
that section should no longer depend
wholly on wheat. While wheat
should and always will be the domi-
nant crop, yet hogs, draft horses and
poultry should be important factors
in the agriculture of the section. I
am quite sure if the farmers of Sher-
man county will take up the line of
farming 1 have suggested, their reve-
nues will be double what they are
now receiving from their land.
For instance, the horses on the
Z farm should be brood mares. Each
{ mare could raise a first-class colt
each year and still assist in the farm
; work virtually as well as a gelding
This would give the farmer young
horses to sell all the time and pro-
, tide an important revenue for the
farm. BY growing field peas in ro-
tation with wheat, Sherman county
can be made one of the greatest hog
countries in the West. 1t is also an
ideal country for poultry The poul-
try on each farm should be made
to supply the necessary revenue for
both the house and the family.
with the proper application of
these farming methods, there is nc
reason why the farmers of Sherman
county should not be exceptionally
prosperous

"The House of Quality" Another
good program for Tuesdays change:
"The Indian Brothers" Blograph.
| The story of an Indians honor. A
renegade Indian seeks adm ssion into
the tribe and the chief in scorn offers
him a squaw's dress, which means at
the same time an insult and a denial
of his request. The renegade for re-
venge Stays the chief, who Is i'll and
unable to defend himself. The rene
gade escapes and some of the tribe
signal distress to the brother of the
slain chief, who is out on a hunting
trip. The brother swears over the
body Of the chief to bring the per-
petrator of the crime back to justice.
The renegade pays the penalty of his
crime at the funeral pile of the chief

Changes In Word Meanings.

Many common words have once had
a meaning very different from the
one we now give them. Silly" once

The Three Pios.

There were three pigs in poke.
The Overcrowding was scandalous-
Each accounted for the evil in diff
ferent manner.
The first pig said. The overcrowding
is terrible; it is because we are in a
poke"
The second pig said, This over
crOwding is disastrous; it is because
we are pigs"
The third pig spoke as follows: 1.-THE
0vercrowding is undoubtedly appalling.
but you are both mistaken as to the
conditions that have caused it. 1t is
not due to our being in a poke; neither
is it due to orr being pigs. The evil
is the direct and inevitable outcome of
certain spasmodic variations in the
law of economic utility"
The other two pigs were much i'm
pressed and without more ado elected
the third pig leader among them
Still the overcrOwding remained as
lad as ever.-Life.

Married Women's Names.

In England and in the United States
woman loses her identity in mar
rage. In Belgium and Spain the hus-
band adds the name Of his wife to
his own. In the United States women
sometimes retain the family name. as
Mrs. Harriet (Beecher) Stowe. In the
Channel islands the woman never
loses her maiden name. In Spain the
children write the names of both
parents, as Llarena Y Monteverde. In
don Quixote is the following:
"Casajo was my fathers name, and l.,
for being the wife of Sancho PanZa.
am called Teresa Panza, but by good
right they ought to call me Teresa
Casajo" In Scotland both names are
preserved, and the woman is always
known by her maiden name. In Wales
it is the custom to describe the woman
by her maiden name. The fact that
a woman on becoming the wife of a
man loses her identity is apparent
in many portions of the Bible, when
under the ancient custom man. on
taking a wife, declared that she be-
came flesh of my flesh and blood of
my blood thereby establishing the
old time saying that man and wife are
one.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.
