brated actor, Richard Carde, supported
by Jessie Ralph and Marie Wayne in
l"Mary's Lamb" IN five reels. This i
Pathe special and is really something

Lander Lamb, etymologist and mat

Leander's one solace is the "widow
next door," Her daily plunge in "the
old swimming hole interests him unduly.
This leads to chase with Mary Miriam

in the role Of chaser.
In his efforts to ont-distance her he
lands in an institution for the mentally

wish to disfigure his none too beautiful

clutches Of beautiful "widow next door,"
who wishes to compromise him, to aid
her friend, Allen Townsend, in marrying
Phyllis Atwood, Lenders neice.
The widow posing as Charity giving

by the arrival OF Mary. Leander, arrayed
in a night gown, candle-stick in hand,

 IN PASSENGER RATES
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-General increases in passenger rates on west crn railroads were authorized today by the iuterst2te commerce commission. Some of the increases for which the roads asked were disapproved but such as were allowed will result in an increase of revenue.
 Proposed increases in Illinois, Wis consin, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri north of the Missouri river and in Kansas on
 the main line of the Union Pacific
 from Kansas City to the Colorado
 state line, were disapproved but the
 commission held that an interstate
 basis of A cents per mile was justi-
 fled
 Proposed increases from points within which new rates were author ized to points on the main linep in California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ar
 kansas. Oklahoma and Texas were pronounced unreasonable where the fare would be higher than that con- structed on the rate fabric existing to the east.
 To avoid confusion the commission dismissed all the increases the rail- roads proposed and ordered the filing of new tariffs embOdying such in- | creases as were allowed to become ef- ! fective

big MONEY" AWAITS
THE OREGON FARMER

Portland, Or. Feb. 10.-(Special. }
There never has been time in the
history OF the state when the farmers
have had such an opportunity to make
money by raising livestock for meat
purposes as at present With an ag-
gregate shortage OF over 3.000,000
meat animals. approximately S00,000,-
600 pounds. in the leading packing
centers OF the United States, II is GER
tain that for some years to come there
will not only be an unlimited demand
for meat animals. but 1t is also GER
tain that prices will range high and
It is not impossible that all previous
records may be broken.
1t Is a fact that nearly all the big
cattle ranges of the state have been
broken up and that in only a few To-
cations is II possible to find pastnrage
for large herds. but 1t is also a fact
that the average farm could be made
to produce larger number of animals
than It is now doing. With the big
packers and bankers willing. and anx-
ious to cooperate with reliable far
mers In the state in stocking farms
and ranches, 1t would appear that any
farmer who fails to take advantage of
his opportunities in this direction Is
making big mistake.
The population OF the entire north
west is increasing at rapid rate. the
people must be supplied with meat.
and IL Oregon ranches cannot meet
the demand 1t win certainly be met by
other states, a large amount of money
will be sent away and the meat indus
try OF the state damaged to just that
extent
