Farmers Opportunity.

The United States Department
of Agriculture, the state boards,
and the experts all over the coun-
try are urging the farmers of
America to cultivate every avail
able acre during the coming year.
The war in Europe assures the
sale of almost everything that
can be raised. Every article that
is exported to feed the soldiers
and the citizens and the stock
of Europe means just that much
less for home consumption, there
fore, even with his crops of
everything, the prices will be
high. If it is not a good crop
year the farmer will at least
raise enough for home use and
will not have to pay the high
prices that will prevail. Utilize
every available acre for grain,
grasses and vegetables. In many
sections farmers are urged to
try a double acreage of potatoes.
1t should not be necessary, under
proper conditions, to import po-
tatoes into any agricultural coun-
ty. Put the hens and the turkeys
to work and give them a square
deal. Raise pigs, cattle and
horses in as large numbers as the
accommodations of the farm will
justify and any losses that any
farmer, planter or rancher may
have sustained last year will be
more than made good. The war
in Europe may last for months
or years, but while it continues
there will be an active demand
for everything we produce.
Should the war end this week
the nations engaged will need all
our surplus products for a year
at least. Take our advice, for
once, and do not permit good,
tillable land to lie idle in 1915.

on the farm so distasteful to boys
that they sneak away at the very
first opportunity. He held up
before fathers and mothers so
many faults like that of raising
boys for the sake of the pennies
they might help earn at the sac
rifce of education, and drew such
vivid pictures of the hum-drum
lives of some boys who get from
it the idea that there is nothing
in store for them on the old farm
but to sleep much in order to be
able to work more, until these
boys learn many things that are
the direct opposite of what a pa
rent would have them learn.
The boys thoughts go out to
what he has heard of brighter
prospects, and it is not long be-
fore he has lost all interest in a
business that God intended to be
of the highest class in the world.
Mr.. c. ]. Brewer, in his talk
on the part lime plays in the rem
ovation of soils, expressed the
opinion that so far as the slate
and shale lands to the west of US
are concerned, they have not yet
been depleted of essential native
elements, especially potash, to
such extent that lime would not
release sufficient natural fertility
to grow clover and legumes, and
that the legitimate use of these
legumes would, in short time,
enable the owners to fill the soil
with necessary humus, and in
this manner render them capable
of a tenfold greater resistance to
drought. All know that corn
will make a fair crop, even on
poor land, if sufficient water can
be kept on tap at the roots to in
sure freshness of stalk and leaf.

THE "NAKED TRUTH"
AT THE ISIS

LYDIA Borelli, the celebrated Euro
pean actress, who is playing the lead
| in George Kleiness new Ave part mo-
tion picture subject, THE Naked
Truth" which opens at the Isis
theatre on September 20 and 80, is
one of the best known actresses on
the European stage. That she is not
bette. known in America is largely
a question of her age, for Miss Borelli
lis just out of her teens. Her success
in London, Paris, Vienna and Rome
has been phenomenally rapid and Is
being compared with the sudden rise
to fame of Sarah Bernhard when
that famous thespian had fairly
reacher her stride generation ago.
Miss Borelli is unquestionably the
highest actress in motion pictures.
For her work in THE Naked Truth
Borelli was paid 100000 francs or
100000, in addition to which she re-
ceived an interest in the profits of
the film. Incidentally, she demanded
considerations other than those none
AIRY that seriously interfere with the
exploitation of the film in Europe and
would not be tolerated for moment
by any film producer for star of
less consequence. In her contract,
Miss Borelli succeeded in getting the
manufacturers consent never to rent
the film to any theatre in city where
she is playing at the time. When it
is understood that manufactures
usually sells his film outright to an
exchange or renting company and
thereafter loses all track of it, the
troublesome nature of such clause
is apparent. Fortunately for George
Kleine, Miss Borelli is SO hedged
about with contracts of her own that
there is little possibility of her ar
irving in America until "The Naked
Truth" has had nationwide run.
Admission 10 cents to all. advI<
