COLLEGE HOLSTEIN
MAKES FINE RECORD
Produces 1874 Pounds OF Milk in IL
Days on 20 Pounds of Grain
Per Day

During a period of II days in the
month of December the grade Hol-
stein COW, Caroline, owned by the
college, produced 1884 pounds of
milk or 471a pounds of butterfat.
This COW calved on December z,
and the record was started on De-
cpmber Is, six days after calving.
From that time until December 80,
her milk production steadily in
creased, when, unfortunately, she
went off feed" and was in that con-
dition about a week. She has now
resumed feeding and will nearly
equal her production before being
sick. This COW consumed 20 pounds
OF grain a day while giving this
amount of milk. The grain consist
ed of two parts of bran, one part
barley, and one part of oats, by
weight, with small amount of oil
meal and soy bean meal. Caroline
was born and bred in the Palouse.
Her sire was formerly owned by this
college.

FAMOUS PHOTO-DRANIA
AT STAR THEATER
George kleine's Last Days of POM
P@ii' Announced for Star Theater
January 23 and "a

THE Last Days of Pompeii' oc-
Cured in 10 A. D., almost contem-
poraneous with the events of Quo
N&dis,' and many of the custom s,
habits and dress were the same, and
for that reason Mr.. George Kleine
has endeavored to put as much or
iginality as possible in his production
Of THE Last Days of Pompeii, :"
which is announced for the Star
theater Friday and Saturday, Janu-
airy 20 and "a. This is particularly
true in the amphitheAtre scenes,
which occur in both stories. In Pom
peii Mr.. Kleine has omitted many of
the details that were to be found in
the same episode of "Quo Vadis' and
has succeeded in making a series of
pictures that are both original and
effective, retaining many of the
thrills.
George Kleines photo-drama ex-
quisite, THE Last Days of Pompeii, >"
adapted from Bulwer Lytton's cele-
brated novel, again demonstrates the
wonderful artistic qualities of the
foreign producers and displays a
marvellous stage craft.
The acting of the principal players
is unusually finished and clever, par
ticularly among the women. Among
tho leading artists who appear are
Slgnora Fernada Negri Pouget, as
Nydia, the blind flower girl: Signora
Eugenia Tettoni Fiorio, as lone, the
handsome Athenian maid; Signora
Ersilia Scalpellian, as Stratonica;
Signora Maria Brioschi, as the Sor-
ccress: Signor Ubaldo Stefani, as
Glaucus; Signor WHALE de Stefano, as
Clodius; Signor Antonio Grisanti, as
Arbaces; Signor Cant Carini. as Ape
cides; Signor Forth Williams, as So
STA; and Signor Cesare Zocchi, as
Burdo. In addition there were a
host OF other players, as gladiators,
senators, merchants, nobleme en-,
ladies OF society, ETC., and over three
thousand people as spectators in the
wonderful amphitheatre scenes. The
entire production was made at Tor
mo, Italy.
