A MOTHERS STRUGGLE.

There are few stories which pres
ent in so fascinating and thrilling a
manner some of the vital problems
which women are sometimes called
upon to solve, as Should a Mother
Tell?" as picturized by William Fox.
The Mother in the story is a woman
in an ordinary station of life. the
parent of a beautiful girl
She is suddenly thrust into a stu
alton where action is demanded and
where such action must either blight
her daughters life and honor Of her
own good name, conscience and her
duty to God.
Probably there has never been SO
powerful story written as this by
Rex Ingram. Undoubtedly never has
there been portrayed, either upon the
screen or upon the legitimate stage,
such delineation of the strength of
motherlove as is given by Betty Nan
sen, the Queen of Emotional Acting.
In her former William Fox screen
successes, "a Celebrated Scandal .
Anna Karenina" and "A Woman s
Resurrection, Miss Nansen has risen
to such dramatic heights as to have
placed her far in the van of emotion
al actresses. But in Should Mother
Tell?' William Fox has furnished her
with a vehicle that brings out such
emotional stress as to leave the audi
ence spellbound-almost stunned.
Miss Nansen has one answer to
the problem. Should a Mother Tell?
Many will agree with her solution,
many will not. But whether you agree
or not, you will remember this SEN
sationai photodrama for a long. long
time.
Ably supporting Miss Nansen are
Stuart Holmes. Jean Sothern and an
eminent cast OF the Fox calibre.

COWAN'S SLaYER SAID
TO Be UNBALANCED
DR.. WILSON PEARSON TELLS OF
SHOOTING WHICH SHOCKED
ROSITA RANcMEN

That Fred Conarth was angered
because Charles Cowan had replaced
him on the job he held at the Will
vahldick ranch near Rosita and that
he lay in wait for him when he saw
him at work and shot him. 10 the
statement made by DR.. Wilson Pear
son, who returned yesterday from the
scene of the shooting.
According to DR.. Pearson, who was
cousin by marriage Of the dead man.
Conarth was laid off Monday ev-
aing. Tuesday morning Charles
Cowan and his brother. John Cowan,
were moving hay in a field about a
quarter of a mile from the Conrath
ranch. The latter was hitching up a
team when he saw the Cowans start
around the field on their moving ma
ines. He is alleged to have gone
to the house and secured his rife.
There is a line fence at the side of
the field. The grass is about two
and a half feet high on either side
of the fence. Charles Cowan was
about forty feet in front of his bro:h-
er and had just turned the corner
of the field and started up the other
side when Conrath reached the fence.
it is alleged.
Neither of the Cowans saw the man
who had concealed his approach in
the tall grass. The first intimation
they had of coming trouble was the
sound of a shot-the first one fred
by Conrath and which missed Cowan.
The brother yelled, Watch out,
Charley" but the noise Of the mower,
it is supposed, prevented him from
hearing the warning. An instant
later, the second. shot rang out and
Cowan pitched backward onto his
machine. the sharp teeth of the NOV.
er taking their toll in a piece of flesh
from one of his shoulders before the
team could be stopped.
The bullet entered the left side to
ward the back and passed clear thru
mushrooming as it tore its way thru
bone and muscle and leaving a great
hole at the point 1t emerged from the
right.
DR.. Pearson attended the prelimi
nary hearing which was held at ten
o'clock Thursday night. Counsel for
Conrath, who admitted the shooting
it is said. made a plea to the court

rath was brought to Canon City and

Some of the western slope folks

worms from entering sun dried fruit
keep the flies or millers that lay the
eggs away from It while drying. Trays
made of light lumber and covered
with lid or screen wire will answer
the purpose. These trays are much
more convenient than the roof OF .

however. the trays must be placed on
