War Films at the Forrest

Scenes from war torn Europe were shown
with startling realism at the Forrest The
atre last night, in a series OF films most
of which were exhibited for the first time
in this city While the usual request was
made that applause be omitted, In con-
formity with a strict observance of neu-
trality, the appearance of the Kaiser as
the principal figure In a review of German
troops proved too strong for the restraint
of German sympathizers In the audience.
On the other hand, when the English
guards who went to aid the Belgians In
the defense OF Antwerp, appeared on the
screen those who lean toward the cause
OF the Allies gave warm round of hand
clapping.
A charge OF Bavarian cavalry across an
open field which brought the horses close
up to the camera was a prime number OF
the program, while the German heavy
artillery. in action was another unusual
picture. Many OF the films were taken
during the bombardment and fall of Ant
werp. Among them were action pictures
OF both the Belgian ana German troops
the destruction by the Belgians OF bridge
across the River Scheldt after the evacua-
tion of Antwerp, and the burning of the
great oil tanks at HobOken, near Antwerp
Another reel showed the heavy guns on
board a British battleship shelling Belgian
coast towns occupied by the Germans
Crown Prince Ruppreeht, OF Bavaria, was
one OF the notables who appeared There
were many films depicting the men in the
trenches, and scenes in the rear OF the
great armies.
While some OF the films obviously had
been posed for, there were others in
which the action was apparently unstudied
and taken close to the front. within the
region OF danger.

CANCER OF THE SKIN

The keynote to the cancer problem is early diagnosis. If this disease were accompanied by sever pains in it's earliest stages the large majority of patients could undoubtedly be cured by modern methods of treatment. Can cer of the skin in it's very early stages can be cured by appropriate modern treatment. Fifty per cent of all forms of cancer come to the surgeon or spec ialist too late. The early stage of cancer is unaccompanied by pain, hence the patient does not seek the doctor early. All ulcers or tumors of the skin are not necessarily cancerous. and the treatment varies according to conditions. When there is on the lip, especially the lower one, any per sistent local thickening, sore, Assure or crack of several months duration. then 1t is suspicious of the earl stage of cancer. It is dangerous to irritate such place by sucking or picking or putting any kind of caustic paste on it because usually such treatment causes the disease to grow much fas- ter and to form "roots," as the pub lie call them.
 Another kind of skin cancer begins as a small mole-like pimple which gradually increases in size. It is more dangerous when it is colored (brownish or blackish); later it bleeds easily, especially when scratched or pinched. It appears to heal, but af ter awhile breaks down again and grows gradually. Soon it begins to have "roots,' which means that the nearest glands have become diseased. This can be cured when recognized in its early stage. before it has "roots." Another iknd of skin cancer begins even more innocently, as in its very early stage it is persistent scaiy spot or as if the skin had been rubbed of, or as a chronic crack, or like a wart or mole The patient thinks nothing of this, because it looks so innocent does not hurt at all and now and again it seems to heal and then break 0 {.

IRON MOUNTAIN DEMON
 STRATION FARM
W. P. NURRAH,
 Secretary.

The great possibilities of low-pric- ed Arkansas lands for grain produc- tion have been effectively proven by results at the Iron Mountain Demon- stration Farm at Hope, Ark, with both wheat ard oats during the past year. The wheat yields averaged 20 bushels per acre and oats 64 bushels per acre. A test field, put in for con- parison, of Fulgrum oats and winter turf oats showed a yield of 77 bushels per acre of the Fulgrum oats and 91 bushels per acre of the winter turf oats. Other fields of winter turf oats yielded respectively S6 bushels per acre, GA bushels per acre. The lowest yield was 51 bushels per acre.
 The Iron Mountain Demonstration Farm at Hope was started on piece of land that had been in cotton over fifty years, and which was practically worn out. The yields mentioned, made under practical farm conditions and methods, therefore show what can be done even on exhausted land. After charging up rent on land, expense of seed, fertilizer, team and driver at 30 cents per hour, and labor at 15 cents per hour, the grain crop on the Hope Farm shows a net profit of S14.30 per acre, which is more than the land it. self three years ago, when demonstra- tion farm work was started.
 The Iron Mountain Agricultural De partment, under the direction of Com missioner of Agriculture D. c. Welty. three years ago began growing win ter turf oats on the Iron Mountain Demonstration Farm at Arcadia, Mo-, the experiment having been suggest ed by the poor yields of spring oats caused by frequent douths just when the crop was being made. The need of having cover crop to hold the soil during the winter was realized. Each of the three years the winter turf oats crop has been considerably more suc- cessful than the spring oats. Last year the yield was about 35 bushels per acre and this year 401a bushels per acre
 The work of the Iron Mountain Az ricultural Department in this experi- ment will be of great value to the fgarmers of Southern Missouri. The seed grown last year on the Arcadia Farm has been distributed to various;

The winter oats seed has made fine yield on ground where southern grown seed ons land adjoining has been entirely killed out during the winter. The State and Government agricultural experts and the County Farm Advis- CTS, especially in Southwest Missouri, are watching the work with interest and the entire yield of seed of the farm will probably be utilized by the Southeast Missouri Farm Advisers.

HOMEMADE MOVIES"

Home made movies are becoming popular in Arkansas. The early scenarios were designed largely to ex plolt the industrial and other advan- tages of the cities where the pictures were taken. A thread of romance or adventure Is used and upon this is hung a series of pictures of leading industries, commercial interests, nat ural scenery, etc. The result is far more pleasing than one might inn agine, considering the element of con- merclalism. Pictures of this charac- ter have been taken in Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Fort Smith, notably, and few smaller cities, and prepara- tions are being made for others. It has been found a great drawing card as an advertising medium, because it is different.
 But photo-play art is not to be sac riticed wholly to commercial interests. A local company has been organized, and has already produced a play in three reels, "The Call" which has run whole week in local house, and is 1 to be put on the road. It is really truly thriller just like any of the V. l.. $ X E. pictures that you see in your own house at home.
 But even more ambitious than Kindred Spirits" or "The Call" is to be great historical movie play that lis being planned by local talent, to sh W the principal scenes in the life of David o. Dodd, the boy hero of the Confectionery, who was hanged in Lit tie Rock in 1863, by order of Gen. steel, of the U. s. Army, after con- viction by courth-martial as a spy. He refused to betray the Cause he loved, and, regretting that he had but one life to give for his country, went to his death with an unfinching cour age that's hould have shamed his exc cutioners.
 It is planned that the picture shall be a most notable one, following his tory closely, and yet weaving into the story a touch of romance that will en- liven the interest. Battle scenes, de. tachments of Federal and Confederate troops veterans who acually took part in the war between the states, dres sed in the uniforms of that day, and many other thrilling incidents are being planned.
 Much has been written of late about David O. Dodd, but the most com piete history of his life and famiy is that under preparation now by Dallas T. Herndon, Secretary of the Arkan- sas History Commission, who has cen working on the data for the past year. It may be another year before he has i his manuscript complete. He nas lad access to a large amount of original material personal letters, old news paper, files. official orders, etc., that ha ( never before been accessible to the general reader, and that vii male most valuable book.
