The Celluloid Hero

Even behind the shelter of the shore,
the gale almost blew her from her feet.
1t assailed the glittering ice-field so that
cannonade of cracking followed the
shock OF each gust. At ridges where,
earlier in the winter, parts of the ice
field had drifted away and later been
blown back and cemented, the cannonad-
ing was almost continuous. The outer ice
sheet could not long stand that gale!
Marian swung back to the hotel, re-
hearsing her refusal to go out on the ice
to-day; but the sight of Hently, as she
resntered the hall, checked her.
3How does it look-dangerous YETI"
he asked her.
a shouldn't say so, Marian returned
loftily.
Courage was the boast of these moving
picture people, advertised of them as if
other actors must lack it. She would leave
it to Hently to make the protest.
One of the Alaskan dog teams used in
the play had just returned from the rail-
road with the mail, and letters were being
given out in the hotel Office. Hently was
receiving his huge daily heap of feminine
batteries. Marian took her letters to
her room and read them while her maid
got her into her fur costume.
"Luckiest Girl Alive!" the first writer
hailed her. @Think Of having James
Hently's arms about you! You are the
envy of every woman in the world!"
The next angered her even more:
Dear Marian Treges: have seen the state
ment that your coming to the films was
directly due to Mr.. Hently; that he has long
been interested in you and got Mr.. Flagg to
engage you to play opposite him. SO you
being that!
Marian flung that sheet after the other.
So she was being advertised as approved
by Hently! She was congratulated
envied-for having won hecelluloid heros
personal interest. And she thought of
the hundred or so foolish girls who had
probably written him that morning further
to flatter and fawn upon him.
HENTLY'S letters from girls and women
numbered indeed, that day, almost six
score; but no one of them fattered him.
He sorted over his mail as business mat
ter. simply to make the formal acknowl-
edgment which his contract with Flagg
required. 1t was true that for less than
three years James Hently had been
moving picture hero; but feminine adula-
ton for him was far older story than
that. His earliest recollection as little
boy was Of women-his mothers friends,
strangers on the street-hugging and kiss
ing him against his perpetual protest His
earliest schemes were of ways to escape
proud maternal showing him off, In
public school, no amount of effort on
his part to be normally "bad" won
punishment from his teacher; little girls
in nearby seats gazed adoringly, no matter
what he did; in high school it was even
worse for him. After leaving school he
started work as shipping clerk. The
wife of the foreman. coming down one
day, saw him and instantly invited him
out for dinner: he declined, and there
after the woman called almost daily at the
shipping-room. till Hently was discharged

An unusually interesting meeting Of
the Click Mothers Club was held Fri
day afternoon at the Click school and
was attended by seventy mem bers Of
the different mothers clubs of the city.
E. J. Ashbaugh, of the Iowa extension
bureau of the State University of Iowa

Professor Ashbaugh was secured to
give the lecture by the City Federation
Of Womeps Clubs.
Professor Ashbaugh's subject was Of
deep interest to every mother present,
and his talk was instructive. He
strongly advocated the ACCESSIBILITY Of
the mother visiting the school and the
teacher visiting at the homes Of the
pupils. He also said 1t was the duty
Of the mother to see that the child at
tended school regularly, and that the
child did his school work as the teach
er directed, in order to get the good re-
suits that the schools of today afford
the pupil.
After the lecture Mrs. L. s. Brown

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion b
nearly always due to acidity-acid

lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess Of hydrochlor-
ic acid in the stomach retards digestion
and starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage in a can, FORM
ing acrid fluids and gases which in
fate the stomach like toy balloon.
We then get that heavy. lumpy feeling

He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful In glass Of water
before breakfast while it is effervescing.
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the
first dose, it is important to neutralize
the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass. start the liver. stimulate the
kidneys and thus promote free flow
of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon

by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

BIRD FRIENDS IN OUR DOOR YARDS
WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY LIVE
BY Ira N. aabrielson.
THE CARDINAL.

ternately. Their brilliant color seems
to brighten the whole monotonous
landscape.
Because of their beauty and power
of song they have been in great de-
mand as cage birds and have been
nearly exterminated in many localities
by persistent trapping. Fortunately,
this has now been prohibited in most
states.
The nest is usually built In clump
Of bushes or low trees not far from
the ground. The nests which l nave
examined in this locality have been
very carelessly put together and raeher
insecurely placed into position. me
eggs are three or four IN number,
greenish white in color, and thickly
dntted with lilac and brown spots.
In character and habits the cardinal
is one Of the most interesting birds we
have. He is rather clumsy and awk-
ward in his movements, and is more
like wooden bird than most OF the
others. He impresses one more as
substantial, honest citizen of the bird
world than the more agile thrashers,
jays and catbirds which always give
the impression Of having something to
conceal. In temperament he Is curious
combination of timidity and confidence.
On some days you can approach very
close to him as he sits in a low bush
or tree. but on others, try as you may,
the only indications of his presence
will be tantalizing chip now on one
side and then on the other.

The most brilliantly -colored resident
bird that we have in Marshall county

The most brilliantly colored resident
bird that We have in Marshall county
is the bird rendered famous by the
works Of Gene Stratton Porter. In Ihe
Song Of the Cardinal" and James Lane
Allen in 1.-THE Kentucky Cardinal.
The cardinal has of late years been ex-
tending its range northward, and now
nests quite commonly in central Iowa
In size and shape the male resembles
blue jay, but is beautiful rose req
over the entire body except black
throat and chin patch. The female has
a red back, wings and tail, and the re-
mainder of her body is an ashy gray.
During the winter the cardinals feed
on berries of sumac, hawthorne, etc.
and are generally to be found about
tnickels OF suvi, shrubs. Ii Sr::s or
their brilliant color they are by no
means conspicuous. You may hear
suspicious chip from some thicket, or
clear powerful whistle. and yet be en-
tirely unable to locate the author OF
the sounds. When you finally spy MN
he is very probably in conspicuous
spot looking directly at you.
The song IS a rich, clear whistle ana
heard on a clear February morning,
the vigorous tones seem to typify the
snap of the frosty air because OF the
whip like method of delivery.
There is no more beautiful sight m
a February landscape than to see, as
have been fortunate enough to DO a

Beaman voters, and those of school
districts adjoining the town and close
by, including one in Vienna township
this county, made a second attempt TO
form & consolidated school district Sat
urday, and succeeded. Altho success
full, the consolidation does not comply
with the conditions necessary TO obtain
the forty acres of valuable land Of
for a consolidation of five districts.
The consolidation comprises only four
districts. In this respect ii falls short
of Mr.. Beaman'S requirements. He
said this forenoon that the consoh-
dalton did not fulfill the conditions OF
his offer, but that later the district
might arrange to take in another In
dependent district.
Vote Emphatic Approval.
The vote for the consolidation was
an emphatic approval of consolidation.
1t was $50 for to 80 against. In the
town of Beaman 90 voted for consol-
idation to against it In the four
country school districts the vote was
40 for. and % against.

I. Clay township, and No. ,. Vienna
township. The territory comprises
sixteen sections.
At an election held Wednesday. FEB.
3, the proposal to consolidate six inde-
pendent districts failed TO carry by one
vote. In the second plan to consolidate
two districts, No. ?. Clay township,

tricts No. Vienna township COM
prises four sections and is a mile or
two directly south OF the town OF Bea-
man.
In addition to requiring that the
consolidated district comprise five in
dependent districts, 1t must build a
twelve grade school. and the course
of study must include domestic science
and agriculture. The forty acres
which are estimated to be worth $4,000
or $4,000, were intended chiefly for
the use Of the schools for experimental
purposes in teaching agriculture.
