MEMORIES" AT
THEATORIUM TUESDAY
Gold Seal Three Reel Feature Relates
Pathetic Story of a Girls Faithful
Vigil for Her Sweetheart-Staged
at Great Expense.

In these stirring times war dramas
have particular appeal to Ameri-
cans, and Shattered Memories 2
three-reel patriotic drama produced
at Universal City by Robert Leonard,
should stir the heart of every true
American. Shattered Memories" will
be shown at the Theatorium Tuesday.
1t was written and produced at this
time to provide "A fitting feature for
the week of Memorial day Two hun
dred old soldiers from the Old Sol
diers' Home at Sawtelle, Cal. took
part in many of the scenes in the
latter part of Shattered Memories" 4"
n real Decoration day scene is de
picted in the graveyard OF the Sol
diers' Home, where row after row of
the soldiers who fought for the blue
and the gray, stretches away in the
distance from the camera, while the
living actors continue the story of
Shattered Memories" in the fore
ground. Each year the roll Of vet
erans of the great Civil war steadily
decreases in number, and each year
the survivors become more feeble.
Even as late as 1895 the veterans
were solid, substantial-looking fight
ing men, but now iron gray heads
have turned snow white and once
erect forms are bent with age. The
annual Memorial day professions be
come more pathetic year by year
Both Ella Hall and Robert Leonard
seem to have caught the true fervor
of patriotism. Their acting in the
parting scene of the first reel of
Shattered Memories" is Q master
piece of pantomime Such acting has
seldom been seen. Real tears start
from Ella Halls lmpid blue eyes
in this wonderful scene.
Theatorium patrons who learned to
love little Ella Hall, THE Doll of
the Films" in The Master Key,
will be glad indeed to know that they
will be here again
Their work in this, their latest
picture, is said to be the best yet
and one can believe it when know
ing what clever players they are, and

In the trial in New York City be-
fore a jury which is to be called up
on TO decide as TO the sanity of the
noted Harry X. Thaw. DR.. Charles p.
Bancroft. head OF the New Hamp-
shire State Hospital for the Insane,
testified yesterday before the court
AS member of the federal commits
sion which examined Harry Thaw
during his sojourn in New Hamp-
shire, the doctor swore that not only
was Thaw sane. but always had been
sane. The doctor testified as an ex-
pert alienist. Thaw's act, in killing
White. the witness said, was not the
product of a systematized delusion.
such as characterizes the true para
noiac. "Thaw knew that White had
oeen antagonistic to him in an un-
pleasant way" he said. He wanted
to get even with White. His act was
the product of a sane mind, which,
after he had INDUCED in champagne.
was suddenly lost TO his control"
Another expert said: On the sub
ject OF Thaw's alleged paranoical de-
lusions as to the conduct of Stanford
White toward Evelyn Nesbitt AMI
other women, and that he. Thaw,
was protector Of American girl
hood. he could not be said to be suf-
fering from a delusion. but from an
illusion, and that this was no evil
dence of diseased mind.

raising on his farm. 70 has just fin

which is believed will yield about
four thousand bushels when thresh-
ed. He has thirty acres Of fine corn,
first class stand, with an ear on ev-
cry stalk. and sometimes three 20
five ears on stalk. He has seven
acres of Sudan grass which he says
stands seven feet high, and which
he planted with corn planter in
rows thirty inches apart People
who have had experience with this
crop have looked at his Sudan grass
and say that il will thresh four hun
dred pounds of seed TO the acre, be-
sides making five tons of hay per
acre. The seed is worth from 10 to
25 cents a pound. and the hay is
among the best of feeds for stock.

as aforesaid. and that IS how 1t
stands.
At the time Of the hearing. when it
was agreed TO erect a depot here not
TO cost more than $4,000. the rail
road men expressed themselves as
anxious to build suitable station in
Durant. and. according to Persons
who attended the hearing. admitted
the great inadequacy Of the present
station. In the words Of the rail-
road men. they were ready and will
ing TO build. and IL was only a mat
ter OF deciding upon details. when
the station would be built. The de-
tails were finally threshed out. more
than meeting the railroads on every
proposition they advanced. and then
instead Of coming clean. like gentle
men. they appeal on the grounds that
the station is not necessary. and is
only to satisfy the vanity Of few
selfish men in Durant.
The News has always disfavored
the many campaigns that have been
made against the railroads. We be-
lieved that the railroads in Oklaho-
ma had been ridden to death. and
were unjustly treated. We believed
that the railroads wanted to treat
the public fairly II given a chance.
We believed that the railroads had
been giving much and getting little
in return-but this incident has
caused US TO view the railroads in a
different light. The News this day
looks upon the management Of the
Missouri, Kassas & Texas Railway
Company. and Of the ST. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad Company. as
past masters in the practice OF duplic-
ity. as double-dsalers of the deepest
water. and as veterans in the perpe-
tration of chicanery.

ways. coming. as il does. in the face
Of former promises and pledges. and
in the face of established fact. We
deem very short-sighted on their
part, and il is to be hoped that they
will reconsider their act while the
reconsidering is good.

SHALL WE
LOSE OUR
FARM AGENT?

county would not
hesitate to grasp at an opportunity
10 spend five hundred dollars for the
same purpose-yet Bryan County
will lose its farm agent unless some
thing is done. and done quickly.
The salary OF the farm agent is
twelve hundred dollars year. and
out Of this he must furnish his own
mode of transportation from one
part of the county TO another. and
pay all the necessary expenses of his
work. which leaves him very mod
est wage for his service, which SER
vice is of inestimable value to any
community which receives it. For
the year which ends July first the
Federal Government paid half of the
salary, OF six hundred dollars, the
remaining six hundred dollars hav-
ing been paid by the various banking
Institutions of the county. For the
next year, commencing July first,
the government is to pay seven hun
dred dollars, leaving only five hun
dred dollars to be paid locally, but
as yet no contract has been made
with the government for the payment
OF this sum. and the county faces the
problem of doing without a farm
agent next year.
Agriculturally. Bryan County
ranks among the best in the State:
geographically she is one OF the lar
gest; and educationally she is with
out a peer. Other smaller, weaker,
and poorer counties jump at the op-
portunity TO secure a farm agent.
Are the people OF this county going
TO lie dormant and let their agent
slip away
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has made thousands of
scientific experiments in a thousand
different branches of agriculture, the
object being to determine by actual
test and practice the best seed TO
plant and the best way Of planting
and caring for il in different COM
munities and under different climat-
ic conditions. AS a result of these ex-
periments, this department knows
infinitely more about raising various
crops in given territory than the res
idents of those territories who have
not made equally as exhaustive stud
les, know themselves. This knowl-
edge Of this great department of this
great nation is offered free to the
people of Bryan County through the
of the farm agent. himself a

experience. Not every county may
secure such service in such a way.
