CHARLIE CHAPLIN
 BACK AGAIN AT FOX'S

Proclaimed by those who have seen "The Clemenceau Case" the latest Fox production, as even a greater success than "A Fool, There Was and "The Kreutzer Sonata" both of which starred Theda Bara, the fa- nous beauty of the Theater Antoine, Paris, the local Fox theater patrons will have the opportunity of judging for themselves when they see the production today and tomorrow
 In the Clemenceau Case, Dumas has attained the capstone of his towering genius. Of Iza, the pam therish heroine, he himself wrote: 'I shall never create another such character though scribble till doomsday." Iza's sinister beauty and it's fatal effect on the lives of two noble men form the main plot of
 The Clemenceau Case" Pierre, her husband, whom she casts off for Con- stantin Ritz she leaves with his car ger as a talented sculptor blasted for ever.@ In turn she toys with the in fatuated Ritz, shattering his hopes, ambitions and home life. But Pierre. the husband, saves Ritz against him. self. With heroic self sacrifice he allows himself. apparently, to fall once more under Iza's spell. He meets her in her oriental boudoir. and she presses her false lips to Pierre, as he stabs her to the very heart just as Ritz enters. "I have saved you for your wife, says Pierre, calmly. as he telephones for the police, and as for me, Iza killed my heart years ago.
 By special request from the legion of patrons the management have ar ranged for a return engagement of Charlie Chaplin in The Champion" the best and greatest comedy in two acts he has so far appeared in. Charlie Chaplin will be seen today

SCENIC PRODUCTION
 LYCEUM NEXT WEEK

In Little Johnny Jones'" the at traction for the ensuing week at the Lyceum, the Players will be seen in the most spectacular scenic production yet offered here and will be supported by specially augmented company of chorus singers and character actors. The action transpires in three acts and in the second act is shown the deck of Jan Atlantic ocean liner. The steamer leaves the dock and imme- diately after the vessel is shown at high sea in the night. The flash Of the signal rocket which features prom inently in the story is observed to ex- plode. The lights of the moving vessel in the ocean are most natural. The Chinatown scene is another of the popular features of Little Johnny Jones" and will be repro duced here with the especial skill which has made the productions of Lyceum attractions so distinctive.
 "Little Johnny Jones' is an Amer ican jockey who has won an inter- national reputation for his skill in the saddle. Efforts are made to reach" him and have him throw the great English derby. His sterling Yankee character will not permit him to enter the deal and he incurs the displeasure of race-track followers who proceed to make things unplea- sant for him, provoking a series Of incidents that go to make up a most interesting plot. The catchy song numbers and Conan comedy which have made for Conan the great rep utation he enjoys is most pronounced in this play. MT. Birch will as- sume the character of Jones'" in which Conan won his sobriquet as the Yankee Doodle Boy" Miss Galloway will present the character of "Goldie Gates"
 "The Girl in the Taxi" which is so popular this week, will be repeat ed this evening and twice on Satur day.

 The Dottoressa Montessori is very had given me the impression that she was ponderous and solemn. On the contrary, she is rather small, plump and very viVacious. If the phrase were not too fluffy for a great educa- tor, one would say that she is an ex- tremely pretty woman. Her bright brown eyes flashed at my first ques- tion.
 What do Italian women think of the war;" she repeated "They think it hideous, stupid murder What else could they think? There are no high ideals of human happiness being fought for; on all sides there is grasp ing, selfishness, nothing more.
 'Of course, 1t is hard to carry on the school in Europe now. All our money is being used for ammunition and keeping the armies in the field or under arms in readiness to fight. In the countries where the fighting is many of the schools are being used as hospitals.
 Women Bitterly Resentful of War.
 All over Europe the women are aroused. They are bitterly resentful of the war-even the French women to whom I have talked. They said: Our sons have been taken from us and forced to commit murder and be murdered.'
 "The women of Europe are awake; they are thinking and looking ahead; they are planning to prevent wars. Watch them and you will see. They will change the schools. If Children are taught to reason, they will not fight. The men who are fighting now were not taught to understand life. They were taught to follow tradition, to obey orders. But in the Casa Bam- bini (House of Childhood) we do not say to the children, Do t;.' Do that They are shown how to do this or that

WELL BALANCED BILL
 SHOWN AT KEENEY'S

For diversity and even balance the bill which is serving at Keeneys this week is the equal of any program that has been presented in this city ir a long time. All the acts are of a high order and they find favor with the patrons of the theater. The audiences have been large every day and the entertainers have been well received. All have received liberal applause at every performance and curtain calls have been numerous during the week.
 One of the feature acts is present ed by Alvarado and his troupe of edu- cated animals. In this aggregation are a number of trained goats some dogs, monkeys and cats. The ani- nals give an excellent exhibition. They go through the maneuvers very creditably and it requires but a sim gle order from their trainer to put them through the paces.
 Van Holland and Southern have a most entertaining musical playlet. It is entitled Dutch Love-" The pair sing several numbers in pleasing fashion. Their act is staged in at tractive fashion.
 Sensational Russian dancing is in troduced by the Imperial Four. This oauartet has an entertaining mum Der and it goes big every day.
 Scott and Raynor appear in a song and conversational speciality that gives general satisfaction.
 The Pathe Weekly will be shown again this evening, It contains some interesting features of the European war

And thus a unique finish is~ worked out and everything turns out just as it should. This play has been referred to as one of the most unique in theme that the stage has seen in recent years and its story grips the audience from start to finish. It is presented on a big scale and it offers the Poli Players excellent opportun- ities for the introduction of comedy. and dramatic situations. Seat sale opens Saturday.

Get Rid Of the Cattle Tick.
OAKLAND MERE

OAKLAND, NEBR., June ), 1915.
ADr. w. r. Dodson, Baton Rouge, La.
DEAR SIR:-For the benefit Of a
number of northern farmers who, with
| the writer, are interested in the coloni-
lzation project now being promoted on
the Shadyside plantation, ST Mary
i Parish, Louisiana, will you be good
enough to furnish me with informa-
ton on the following points:
In your opinion are these lands adj
apted to alfalfa. and has your depart
ment any experience as to how long
the crop will run on this type of soil?
Are these lands adapted to the pro-
ductlOn of oranges, and is there any
reason why the orange tree should be
shOrt-lived in that section?
We have been informed from certain
sources that it would be dangerous to
introduce northern cattle into the
country on account Of salt grass and
water. Is there anything to this, in
your opinion?
Will the front lands adapt them
selves to level cultivation, and have
any of the plantation lands ever been
tiled, and with what success?
Has any portion Of st. Mary Parish
been infested with the cattle tick, and
if so. has there been any organized
effort to eradicate the pest?
A reply to these inquiries will be
appreciated. Very truly yours,
A. THEODORE SOHLBERG.
The above letter to the Director
of the Louisiana Experimental
Station explains the attitude
OF the Northern farmers in
regard to the South. The main
question that they seem to raise
vixen considering the purchase OF
a Southern farm is whether or
not cattle tick has been eradicated
in the section where the farm is
located.
Whatever we in st. Mary may
think Of the cattle tick We may
rest assured that the Northern and
Western farmer considers thu
tick a great obstacle to his sue
cess. An infestation of ticks, it
has been shown, drains an animal
of from two to six hundred pounds
Of block in season, and in very
many cases results in the death of
the animal from the tick fever.
This letter should be of interest
to every citizen Of this Parish. Il
illustrates the importance in era
dicating the cattle tick. Many
farmers, who are told of the won
derful country along the Gulf
Coast would probably like to go
there and purchase land. to live
and farm. are afraid to tackle the
venture on account of the danger
of tick fever. Possibly, we DO not
realize the importance of Kidding
this Parish of the cattle tick.
There are some striking argu-
ments showing the importance of
this work which this paper will
later offer to the citizens of this
Parish.

Since William Jennings Bryan
has deserted the President and
his country in the face of possible
serious trouble with Germany, he
now proposes to tell the American
people how to end the European
war. Perhaps, now that he is at a
safe distance from the fling line,
he will say, Go in boys and
shoot them up" or, perhaps, that,
as the Presidential election is not
far off, he will say to the German
American citizens, 81 refused to
stand by the government in its
quarrel with the Kaiser, therefore
you should stand by me and give
me your votes for President. You
and my grape juice supporters
can elect me-" Bryan is great in

politician. There his greatness
ends. He can never reach the
