promise better things; SO the producer did
not put them into the weekly, but held them.
Not long afterward Cipriano Castro, one
time dictator of Venezuela, came to New
York, ran afoul of the immigration bureau,
and was detained at Ellis Island while the
authorities tried to decide if he was an un-
desirable alien. When the matter was still
in allegiance Castro landed in New York
under the friendly protection of a writ of
habeas corpus. Before he had been in the
city two days the moving picture producer
persuaded him to pose. He wanted Castro
to put on Venezuela Generals uniform
and go out on a yacht; but Castro baked
at that. Finally he consented to visit the
producers studio and write a message to
the American people telling how great an
institution the American courts were. He did
so. But that ex-presidential message never
saw the light of the screen.
The producer kept that picture too, till

in Mexico City, and that all Huerta had
to do was to give the word and the
army would march past the camera.
He persuaded Huerta that the best
thing to do to convince the Americans
that Huerta really had an army was to
show it on the screen. So Huerta ordered
out the army. 1t filed past the palace
for two hours. In ten minutes the cam

his will, grirnly sat at the luckless pho

feet of film; and Huerta's Federals had

some movements are exaggerated in the

is just what the Gar did not long ago at ~

The cinematographer noticed this just as -

be spoiled voiced his fears without reaiz- ~

The Gar paused, turned round, and saw
the situation at a glance. He asked
where the table should be placed, and the c1nemato
grapher, overcome by his own presumption, indl-
Gated spot foot or SO away. Without comment
the Gar placed the table there and proceeded with his
toast, which was duly recorded on the films.
On another occasion the Car delayed leading his
troops into Odessa during maneuvers till the NOV
ing picture man attached to the Russian court had
stationed his at point of vantage. Then the
troops, with flying flags and the Car at their head,
marched past and the picture, shown in hundreds of
moving picture houses in Russia, called forth much
favorable comment.

made of him; although hundreds have been taken

operator apparently starting up few seconds before
giving the King the signal to proceed. The King stopped
awkwardly before the camera when he entered and
looked directly into the lens, he at loss

Another King who dislikes being photographed is
Victor Emmanuel of Italy. Perhaps the for this
is that he short in stature and his attendants at most

OUR UNPOPULAR SHERIFF.

Hodge Bailey didn't stand any too
well with certain class of citizens
when he took up his duties as sheriff
OF Grady county and there is consider
able evidence that his popularity in
the circles referred to has been stead
lily slumping. II he just keeps on as
he has started out he will succeed In
making himself one Of the most unpop-
uar men in the county before his term
is over.
The trouble with Hodge from the
start was his announced determination
to make no compromise and show no
quarter to offenders against the laws
OF the state. This attitude tended TO
put him "in bad" with bootleggers and
gamblers. They naturally looked upon
such man with suspicion and when
he proceeded to show that he meant
what he said these suspicious were
confirmed, with the result that the
sheriff gradually sank lower and lower
in their estimation
II Hodge had been content with
merely promising TO carry on an often
siye campaign against this class, it
wouldn't have been so bad They nat
urally expect an officer to make such
promise to the people, but it's dif-
ferent when he seriously undertakes
TO keep his word Even with an un-
promising beginning if the sheriff had
been good fellow" he might soon
have had the boys" singing his
praises.
Mr.. Bailey early demonstrated that
he was not to be swayed from the line
of duty by any sort of bluff and since
then they have been resorting TO div
ers and sundry ruses to influence him.
including tendency to use ridicule
Regardless of all these schemes. the
sheriff goes calmly along doing his
duty He is a quiet sort Of fellow who
doesn't say much, being content to let
the other fellows do the talking.
However, there is another side of
the proposition from which the sheriff
may derive some satisfaction In spite
of his unpopularity among law-break-
era. he can rest assured the very acts
which bring him into dlsfavor among
these fellows enhance him In the es-
TEEN OF the good citizens who consti-
tnte the overwhelming majority OF the
people of Grady county. The more
he makes himself among
the bootleggers and gamblers the bet
ter the good citizens OF the county will
think of him. The officer who does
his duty fearlessly Is bound to incur
the disfayor OF the fellows who have
no respect for law.

Paris, June 1-(By mail to New

stomach has France received in this
war which today is just ten months
old? How have hostilities affected the
cost of living?
OF the absolute necessities the aug

save in the case Of sugar, which is now
rather scarce and selling at 25 cents

more than double the price in peace
times. Most of the sugar beet coun-
try is occupied by the Germans.
Bread remains at cents the kilo
or cents the French pound, which is
tenth more than the English pound.
The government regulates the price
of this commodity, thus holding its cost
to the populace down TO a peace basis.
Butter is had from 32 cents pound
