Mrs. Shepard smiled with pleasure

There really is nothing more to say
The newspapers have been very nice, al
though the printed pictures did not do
Finley justice. However we know how
manly looking he is, and that is enough"
Proud and Happy Father.
The office of Finley J. Shepard, ST., at

from Mr.. Shepards secretary to the Office

Mr.. Shepard sat in his big mahogany
desk answering telephone call

natured one. He's been thoroughly
overhauled by physician, and he's
laborer and he doesn't squall."
! What. never?" Mr.. Shepard was
asked.
| Well" replied the father reluctantly,
when his feelings are hurt. He's sensi-
tive. but he has the best disposition for
| a boy of his age that l ever knew, or
Mrs. Shepard" he added.
| How will you educate him. Mr.. Shep-
ard?'
| IT'S too early to say" he replied.
Believe in Public Schools.
Both his mother and 1 are strong
believers in the public school system.

know whether wen send him there or
educate him privately. Just now he's
under the care Of French governess.
He's picking up good deal of the Ian
guage already. He learns quickly.
I'VE try to be with him as much as
we can." he continued. HE takes his
meals with us whenever we can ar

about what he ought to eat. You can't

ORDER FOR AN INQUIRY
INTO COTTON COMBINE
Federal Trade Commission to Inves.

Control.

An immediate investigation to deter.
mine whether there is combination
on the part of the cotton buyers Of
South Carolina, North Carolina anc
Georgia to hold down the price of cot
ton has been ordered by the fedora
trade commission. The investigation
has been undertaken at the instance oil
Commissioner w. J. Harris. to whose
attention complaints have come that
such a combination does exist.
This information is to the effect
that for years past in the three states
In question, and more particularly in
the two Carolinas. there has been vary
ing prices for cotton. often this differ
ence amounting to one-half of one
cent per pound in two points not more
than twenty miles distant from each

mission.
Left Without Live Market.
This difference. in price, it is alleged
in the complaints which have reached
the commission, seems to be the sole
result of the workings of this COM
bination. For instance, it is declared,
many cities and towns have practically
no live market due to the fact that di-
visions of territory for buying pur-
poses are made. one territory belonging
to one buyer. another territory to an
other
These alleged practices are said to be
confined to certain places indicated in
the complaint to a greater extent, pos
sibly than to other points within the
states specified.

Business High and
Gonzaga May Clash
Stenographers Want Battle Fought Out on Neutral
Floor, Without Advanta &c to Either Five-Ten
Games Are Carded to Be Played by Lads
This Week.
BY BRYAN MORSE,

One of the best schoolboy games
of the season may be played We'd
nesday, if representatives of Busi-
ness High School and Gonzaga can
get together to agree upon officials
and a neutral floor on which to play
the contest.
The teams have met twice this
season. In the first engagement
Business won by 20 to 16 score. It
was the first contest of the year for
both teams. The second battle was a
10 to 10 tie and was played at Con-
zaga.
Gonzaga claimed a technical point in
connection with the second battle and
wrote to Headquarters In New York
for ruling on the question of the
center jumping and catching the ball.
The game ended in a tie, Gonzaga de-
claring 1t would rost its case rather
than so on.
Since that game both teams have been
wanting to hook up In another battle.
Business does not want to play Con
zaga in the Business gym, and suggests
getting both teams on a neutral floor
where conclusions may be tried out
with neither side having the advantage.
Gonzaga has shown decided superior
ity over the teams I'm the Preparatory

same sort of atmosphere. and the

such fate. One hundred years from
now the patrons of the pictures may
see "Cabiria' exactly as it was pro-
duced before the audiences of today
This IL one of the very great advan-
tages of the motion picture over the
stage. There is another feature
that should not be overlooked. The
first showings of film OF this sort
are usually given at a high price
in order that the makers may get
some return for the tremendous eX-
pense necessary for the production.
After this expense has been met ii
Is possible to present the film at
very nominal figure
This is what Is happe ming today
in the case of "cabiria.' When II
was shown at the Strand during
the opening week of that theater as
a photoplay house the prices charged
were - and 80 cents. This week tho
price charged is to be 10 cents. This
scaling down of the prices will be
possible on all such films. and such
q scaling means that every patron

PHOTOPLA IS AND
PHOTOPLAYERS
Original Casts Will
Always Be Seen
In Big Film
Successes
BY GARDNER MACK.

One practical value of the photo
play as means of entertainment
and instruction is the pcrmanency
OF the film. BY this Is meant the
fact that once q picture is produced
II can be shown any number of times
In exactly the same way az originally
exhibited. Much complaint is made
In the theater that the great plays
that have been done by great actors
can only be seen during the lifetime
OF those actors. 1t is sometimes inn
possible for even these actors to
duplicate their greatest performance
In the same play. Frequently they
cannot keep the same supporting
casts with them from season to sea-
son. Whenever and wherever such
play Is produced afterward. there
fore. 1t is merely regarded as an I'M
itatioh OF the real success.
In the field of the motion picture
every production Is exactly the same
so far as the acting and scenery are
concerned. Film undcrgoes cor
tain reductions during the process Of
exhibition. through breaks, censor
ships, etc. But the main feature OF

the owners OF the negative can make

be exactly what the original was.
Patrons OF the photoplay in Wash
lneton VIII have practical demon
stration of this situation this week,
when 'Cabiria' returns to the Strand
Theat"r for second showing. This
film Is one of the most elaborate pro-
ductions that has been made for the
screen. 1t marks an epoch " the
artistic as well as the scenic dcTel-
opment of motion pictures. The
story. was written by Gabriel d. An
nunZio. the famous Italian poet, and
II required two years to complete all
the details Of the production. The
Italia Film Company produced the
play with some OF the best known
actors and actresses on the Italian
stage. Several countries were visited
to get the scenes.
Consider. for instance, the produc-
tion on the stage of '"Thc Sign Of the
Cross drama of historical
pageantrv that enjoyed great fame
on the stage some twenty years ago,
as an example OF what happens to
big stage productions. The play was
written and originally produced by
Wilhon barrett, distinguished
f.hgnsh actor. The production that
was made In this country bf the
piece enlisted tn" services Of some
of tho best known actors to be OBJ
tained. The play ran for several
years with excellent casts. Then IT
was produced in a cheaper way by
cheaper actors. and. seasons follow
ing this. still cheaper. Now The
Sign of the Cross Is seldom seen
except in stock or with the cheapest

practically no scenic investiture. The
present generation of theatergoers
cannot get even an approximation
