SEVEN REEL PROGRAM
 FOR 5 AND 10 CENTS
NEW CENTRAL HAS EXTRA BIG SHOW OF NEW FEATURES
 FOR PATRONS TODAY.

There win be no one complain o the New Centrafs program today either as to quality or quantity. Wher one considers the former requisite there is guaranteed some of the great est stars in the moving picture world and where the latter is involved there are seven big reels to the show, and all for five and ten cents, too. This is an attraction that should draw a capacity house.
 The greatest story ever filmed of the big outdoors of the west, which includes it's lofty mountains and roll ing prairies, is to be seen in thel five reel feature in which Max Figman and Lolita Robinson are starring lt is entitled Jack Clanty," and created a sensation wherever it has been shown.
 Jack Chanty is man who refuses to accept people or things at their ap- parent worth; who under a geniality and cheerfuness hides the sterner qualities of true manhood.
 After losing his inheritance in the stock market he says farewell to civ lization and goes west to carve out of the wilderness a future. In spite of falseness in others, in spite of trelch- cry of those who were his friends. he wins out after a hard but merry fight and finds his mission. his love and his destiny in the heart of the new country.
 The natural scenery in this picture will appeal to an lovers Of the big outdoors. Rushing woodland rivers, forest trails and mountain peaks were all caught in the all seeing eyes of the movie camera and appropriated as backgrounds for film version of Mir Footners great story.
 Miss Lolita Robertson, who appears in MT Figman's support as Mary Cranston, quartertbreed, makes a very beautiful Indian maiden. so attractive that Jack Clanty prefers her to the belles of the cultured east.
 The PolIywoB's Picnic" VIII be the comedy in which Ham and Bud. the two stars who are making the entire country laugh, will be featured, while the Hearst-Selig Weekly, which con tains a world of new material. both of this country and special war pictures, will conclude the program.
 Jack Leslie, Jack Standing and John Smiley will be the big attraction tomorrow starring in "A DalaNe ed Reformation.

 Non Batocki and all the others who have investigated conditions in East Prussia are utterly at a loss, however. to understand the Russians motives in carrying off aged women and months-old children
 If the Russian fear of Prusslan spt- ing has been great, they themselves have done their share In addition 10 having had some few agents in the towns all over the province as signal station.
 Patrols, or agents, were able to com. municate with the columns behind quite effectively by turning the arms of the windmill in a prearranged man ner.
 To this same purpose also the Rus sians found the hay stacks very use ful, and would set fire to give signal. two for another and son. How many tons of hay nave been burned for this purpose it is impossible to estimate, but the number is very large.
 The worst of the plundoring and footing, the Ober-President found, has been committed by Russian soldiers who have come into the province lately The first troops 10 enter. last fall, were for the most part we'll dis cpljned and respectable. soldiers rath- CT than looters
 During all the time that the Rus sians occupied Tfsit and Grand Duke Njkolai Nikilaiytch made it his head quarters there were scarcely any vio- lence or trouble But as the first line Russians were defeated aand decimat- ed their ranks were taken by less dis ciplined men who have carried their deeds of violence farther and farther until East Prussia today is but q wreck of it's former self.
 Von Batocki is unusually young for the position he holds-still in his carly forties. He is a captain in the army. and few years ago served his prov ince as a "Landrat' or magistrate Personally wealthy, he retired to his big East Prussian estate, only to be called back into service when the war was well under way.
 He is short, nervous, wiry and ac- tive, and on his tours of inspection does the work with a thoroughness that is surprising He fails to get excited over excitable tales but probes them with a somewhat disconcerting cool ness.
 He makes his home for the present in Koen igsberg, in a typically old fashioned German state residence which, like his wife and himself. is a model simplicity. At the conclusion of his most recent tour of East Prus- sia he entertained a lunch a party of newspaper correspondents who had been viewing the depredations of the Russians. No family meal among friends could have been more charm ingly informal than the luncheon quite typical of him say those who know him best, and strongly indicat- ing one of the reasons for his tremen- dous popularity.

July, too, is the month Of pic

exterminated within a few years.
Picnics, too, bring rains when all

needs do is to plan a big picnic. 1t

yield more milk, produce mere
meat, keep in better general con-
,dition, bring higher price Ill the
open market, and are handled
with less Inconvenience than ticky
cattle. Moreover they can be
bred with profit. to pure bred
bulls. The total of these various
items amounts to a saving which
it is almost impossible to express
in terms of money. 1t may be
said, however, that ticks make all
the difference between profitable
stock raising and Improbable
stock raising.
Some time ago the Department
of Agriculture sent to number
of representative stock-breeding
| farmers series of questions on
the effect Of tick eradication IN
their neighborhood. These re-
plies show that, in the opinion of
the men most vitality interested,
cattle gained in weight from IL
to Is per cent, the average being
l19.14; the average milk produc-
ton increased about % per cent,
or nearly one-fourth of the total
yield. The quality of the cattle
had improved about one-fOurth.
Finally, the loss from Texas fever
which at one time amounted to
over one-eigth of the total number
of cattle, had been totally stopped,
and it was possible for the first
time to import pure-bred animals
for breeding purposes. One Louis
lana farmer wrote that his herd
of cattle was worth double what
it had been before the ticks were
eradicated.
What systematic work can do
lin the eradication Of ticks is
shown by the experience Of Mis-
sissippi. This state took up the
work in 1908. Two years later in
1910, 1,407 square miles of terri
tory were released from quaran-
tine, and subsequent releases in
creased this area until at the end
of 1914 it was 20,834 square miles,
or almost half Of the state. At the
end of 1914, there were 1882 dip
ping watts in operation. If the
people of the state continue to
show the same interest in the mat
ter that they have done in the past
| it is predicted that in two or three
years cattle ticks in Mississippi
should be unknown.
