AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Quo vadis in Motion Pictures.

Quo VadIs in Motion Pictures.
 At the Auditorium for the first of the week George Kleine presents in moving pictures Quo Vadis (Whither Thou goest, Lord) in three acts and eight parts. This picture all the way through shows the characteristics of ancient Romans, their wonderful houses and exquisite architecture. It depicts Nero, the tyrant emperor, last of the Caesars. who for inspiration to write a poem burns the city of Rome and accuses the Christians of the act and orders them to the lions. The treatments of slaves and servants at banquets and public places is vividly shown. The scene of the imperial ban quet gives an excellent idea of the so- ciety of the time just before the fall of Rome. The burning of the city seems almost real, the beautiful homes and public buildings tuInbling down with tongues of fire licking through the ruins; with people running about In a tumuIt. The few Christians of the city hold secret meetings in caves un- der the leadership of St. Peter, and how they are persecuted is 8 scene of cruelty. Petronius, Nero's favorite, with his slave, Eunice, die together before they would lay their hands on the Christians. The scene of the Christians waiting for the approach of the lions in the great amphitheater is very ex- citing Ursus, the giant servant to Lygia. is a fine example of a servant S love for his mistress. When the people find out that Nero set the city afire they arise in revolt. In the meantime Nero kills himself before he would be taken a prisoner. Peter, leaving the city as it is burning. has a vision of Christ, who tells him to return, so he obeyS and enters the city.

Miss H. G. Cross Spoke on Growth of
 The w. c. T. U.


 The February meeting of Home chapter of the Kings Daughters held Monday afternoon at the Johnson home called together a large number of the order. In charge was the lead CT, Mrs. Louis c. Potter. New mem bers were admitted, letter from the state president, Mrs. W, 1T. Dawley read, and the report of the membership committee given. Special collections will be taken at the March meeting in place of a. sale.
 Miss H. G. Cross, president of the local w. c. T. U. was then introduced by the leader. She gave the inter esting history of the founding of this institution, of the new impetus given to it by that wonderful woman who became its president, Frances Willard, honored by her state and nation as no other woman has been. She told how the women of this country have come to a consciousness of their ability to fight the great evil, and went on to say:
 At the first national meeting # states were represented, at the last meeting all our states and S4 coun- tries. Nearly 500,000 women all around the globe are members of the w. c. T. U. We have a matron at Ellis Island and foman in Washing ton who sees to the legislative part of the work. Some of the results of this work are prohibition in many of the southern state, prohibition in our national capitol, keeping saloon ads out of the high class magazines, and we have succeeded in eliminating alco- hol from many medicines. We are cooperating with missionary organ nations.
 In 1920 we hope to see an amend ment to the national constitution pro- hfbiting the sale of intoxicating liquors
 Miss Cross was given a rising vote of thanks. Mrs. Potter voiced the Feeling of those present when she said. We are helping the poor, sick, needy and destitute. If it were not for liquor two thirds of this wC@k should not have to be done The chapter then repeated their watch word, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me.
 During the social hour supper was served by these ladies: Mrs. A. A. Robinson, Mrs. Oliver Reynolds, Mrs Louis O. Potter, Mrs. Eugene Saunders Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs k. G. Potter. Mrs. John Ringland, Miss Elizabeth Rhoades, Mrs. T. E. Robinson.

WORKING FOR PICKLE STATION
Norwich Farmers Have Few Days Left To Sign Up To Plant 75 Aces-Responses So Far Better From Hebrew And Polish Farmers Than From Natives

By the end of this week those inter ested in the placing of salting sta- tion at Yantic as proposed by the c. K. Sherwood company of New York hope to have secured promises to have 75 acres planted to cucumbers in the coming season, so that they may in form the New York company that the matter is closed and the station will be an assured thing for Yantic and the farmers of this section.
 Within day or two after the meet ing last Wednesday in Yantic, when the matter was first brought up, about 12 acres were pledged, and this num- Der has now been incerased to about 25 acres.
 Papers for signatures have been mailed to the Fitchville store and to MT. Gilman at Bozrah so that the pro- ducers in those sections could have a place where they could sign their names. A number of names were ss- cured at the Bozrah grange open meet ing where MT. Sherwood spoke last week, and W. E. Manning and H. J. Gibbs, who have acted as local com mittee in the matter, have got papers out among the farmers for signatures, but so far the responses have been slow.

lated have been more ready to sub scribe to the plan than the native porn American farmers.
 The question of what they would do for help to pick the crop is said 10 bother some who might otherwise SUD scribe to the plan. Since the matter was proposed MT. Manning has made some inquiries about the Silver Lane salting station and has found that re- suits were satisfactory, and he was told of one man in Rockville who real ized $500 an acre from his cucumbers In Rockville, it is said, farm land Is worth $1,000 an acre, and has been made so through tobacco and cucum- bers.
 On the other hand, one investigator of a farm in this locality where cu- cumbers have been raised commercial ly for five years, learned that this cu- cumber raiser got only one good crop in five years, and he Considered six tons to an acre a good crop, eight tons a very good crop, while at the meeting at Yantic President Sherwood of the pickle company predicted that a ten- ton crop ought to be secured.
 Those who are interested in secur- ing the salting station intend to keeI the matter alive in the next few days before the 18th, as they have got to have it definitely accepted or rejected by then.

GET ALL THE

No one ever had too much in formation. Some of us appear to think we know it all"-but really we all know that our fund of information is decidedly linn ited.
 Each day and each hour has something to teach us, and if we are wise we will learn.
 This newspaper, for instance, is full of interesting infornla- tion. Some parts of it will be useful to you-other parts to someone else.
 Perhaps the most important information is that conveyed by the advertisements.
 They are live, personal mes- sages about merchandise and service. They are planned in spirit of cooperation - to be helpful to you and to the man who is paying for them.
 He can only hope to profit by making his announcements of service to you.
 He believes he has what people are looking for; and he comes out frankly and tells them exactly what he has. s
