ADVENTURES OF KATHLYN"
SERIES ARE YET POPULAR

SERIES ARE YET POPULAR
The Selig Polyscope Co. was the
first concern in the motion picture
field to institute the photoplay serial
of a spectacular character. While it
is true that other concerns have in
stituted serial photoplays, yet the Sc
lig Co. with the Adventures of
Kathlyn' was the pioneer in an I'M
explored literary field. Mr.. William
N. Selig conceived the idea of the
Adventures of Kathlyn" series and
he deputized Mr. ellison Willets to
write the series in thirteen INSTALL
ments. Each adventure consisted of
two reels.
E "The Adventures of Kathlyn," al
though released over year ago, re-
manned very popular in this and in
foreign countries This is fact not
withstanding that the idea has been
more or less initiated The method
of exploiting that serial has also new
er been improved upon, the same
policy of syndicating the story of the
picture simultaneously with the
showing of the film having first orig
mated with the Adventures of Kath-
Ign" series.
The Selig Polyscope Co. has orig
mated another unique serial to be
called 1.-The Chronicles of Bloom Cen
ter" The two-reel picture plays will
carry the same characters through a
series of twelve plays. Each play
will be complete in itself and yet all
will have certain continuity. For this
series the Selg Co. has built a COM
pIete American village OF the rural
type. It is complete even to the town
pump and the "Melodeon Hail." 1t
is believed that this serial will prove
very popular.

game with the local team, provid-
ing the weather doesn't interfere.
Wakefield is said to have a strong
team and good game is looked
for They have been organized
for some time but have not as yet
played a game; their strength is
therefore an unknown quantity.
Morris and Carr is announced as
the battery for Wakefield. The
Indian duo, Boniosh and Shadamo,
will officiate for Hurley. The game
will be called at 3 O'Clock.
There was no game last Sunday
on account of rain. it being neces-
sary to call off the two games sche-

will be played at a latter date, ac-
cOrding to a provision III the rules
and regulations of the Northwest

In one of the most far-reac hing
decisions of recent years the inter
state commerce commission has de-
cided that the railroads owning and
operating steamship lines on the
Great Lakes, must give them up
after December first.
The principal eastern trunk lines
which carry the great volume of
freight traffic between the Atlantic
seaboard and the west are affected
and the decision partially may alt
er the trade routes over which are
moved millions of tons of the west S
rich stores of raw mater;a!S-prin-
cipally grain and ores-to the east
and millions of tons of manufaCtur-
ed products to the west and north
west.
In effect the decision establishes
a water route independent of rail
road control from New York to
Duluth and other points on Lake
Superior and to Chicago and other
points on Lake Michigan through
a chain of waterways the Hudson
river, Erie Canal, the Great Lakes
and connecting rivers.
The commission points out that
the Great Lakes for many years,
dominated by the railroad owned
fleets, will again be open to indie
pendent shipping and that the Erie
Canal again has the opportunity of
becoming main artery of traffic.
Under the Panama Canal law the
railroad ownership of competing
waterlines is forbidden unless the
interstate commerce commission
holds that public convenience and
necessity are served thereby. The
commission finds to the contrary
that: the interests of the shipping
public will be conserved and those
of the boat lines will be bettered
by the enforcement. "

sociation: i agree with you in
the matter of alfalfa, but it is diff
cult to get farmers TO plant it be
cause clover does so well. That
is the story in a nuts hell. 1t is so
all over the state. Farmers say;
What is the use of planting alfalfa
in cloverland?" But Alfalfa is still
better than clover-where drainage
is good.
There is no need to quarrel with
the farmers of the state on tn is
matter of the extension of alfalfa
culture-fOr two reasons. l. Glow
er is good enough in comparison
with everything except alfalfa, so
good in fact that it has been the
basis of the great agricultural pro-
sperity of the state. q Alfalfa is
so much better than clover that it
will force itself upon public atten-
ton soon.
There can be no question-no
room for argument-On these two
propositions. Clover is probably
more than any other one thing the
basis of that prosperity in Wiscon-
sin that has filled the banks with
farmers money, It is the best-ex-
cept alfalfa. 1t is more valuable

A proposal to increase the pay OF
members of the legislature from
$500 for the biennium to 81 900
was approved by the assembly
Tuesday when that body advanced
the Smith joint resolution, 1Sa
which provides for the amendment
of section 21 of article ". of the
constitution to provide for the
change.
The original resolution provided
that the pay be increased to 81 SOC
for the biennium but an amend
ment was adopted reducing the
amount to 81 900 and as amended
the resolution was adopted without
a roll call and with but a feeble
dissent.
This is the identical proposal
which was defeated when submit
ed to the people in 1910 by a vote
of 4,153 for to 10. .27S against and
again in 1914 by a vote of 68, 907
for to 157 ,2O2 against.
The resolution must come before
the legislature again in 1917 anc
if adopted then will be submitted
to the voters in 1918.

This Admission Feature Of Aus
train Note Which Causes
Most Comment.
MAY OPEN PACIFISTS' EYES
Summing Up Of Situation So
Complete That No Further
Protests Are Expected.

The most striking phase Of the State
Department note to Austria. replying
to the Austrian protest against ship
ment Of arms and munitions to the al
lies, relates to the defenseless position
OF the United States in case OF war
should IL be unable to import arms and
munitions. That one Of the strongest
reasons why this Government will in
sist on the right of neutrals to ship
arms and munitions to belligerents in
the present war Is that this nation
would insist on the right Of importation
should 1t become involved In war with
q hrst-class power Is made plain.
It has been understood all along
that one Of the potent reasons why
the Administration adhered to the
right Of shipment OF arms and NUM-
tions to the allies or other belliger-
ents was that it was looking to tho
future. Now. in the new note to Aus
tria. this is explicitly set forth.
Other Important Features.
This phase of the note is the one
arousing most comment here today.
Among its other important features
10 the doctrine that II neutrals are
prevented from shipping arms and
munitions in war time then there Is
no security for any nation that does
not lay In an adequate store Of mill
tary material in time OF peace.
This 10 not new doctrine. but its en-
phatic reassertion at this time, it is
thought here. may serve to compel
some Of the advocates Of the notion
that shipments Of munitions must be
halted in the interest of a pacific policy
to stop and think.
Scanning of the note to Austria as
publtshed today has led to quite a gen.
eral impression that the grounds for
the course Of the United States are so
we'll covered that the German-Austrian
alliance will abandon serious efforts to
get this nation to change its policy.
Defends U. 8. Neutrality.
The new note defends the neutrality
Of the America course at length. and
cites tho course taken by Germany and
Austria in previous wars to show that
these countries have hitherto insisted
on the right to ship arms and munitions
to belligerents.
1t Is made plain that for q neutral
nation to attempt to change accepted In
ternatonal practice In war time would
involve 1t in all sorts Of difficulties.
