! WILL RAISE MORE HEMP

The outlook for a good hemp crop
throughout this section is excellent.
Farmers, having become Disguised
with tobacco at an average Of 8
cents per pound, are turning toward
hemp, and there viii be several
hundred acres put in in Clark,
Bourbon and Montgomery counties
this year. Several years ago hemp
was grown in abundance in this
section, but the price dropped and
as most Of it had to be broken by
hand, and experts at the business
we're hard to get, cany growers
abandoned the product.

PUT ON THE SOFT PEDAL

III Is time Tor the American Iay-
man to put on the soft pedal, and
let the president do the talking.
There is grave concern lest the
United States become involved in
the European war.
But it must not be-if mortal nan
and honorable means can prevent.
England seems determined to
starve out Germany, even to the
depriving of women and children of
the necessary food to sustain life.
This may be in accordance with
the rules Of warfare, but it is not
in accord with the laws Of human
ity. Helpless women and children!
Germany, in retaliation, says
merchant ships must not enter Eng
fish waters, and warns neutral
countries that their vessels are in
danger Of being sunk by Teutonic
submarines. Germany, apparently,
would also starve England-includ-
ing its innocent women and childenl
This, too, may be considered
justiiable act Of war, but the ele-
ment Of humanity is lacking-quite
dead.
The United States is neutral in
the controversy, and with food in
plenty for the hungry in all lands.
British merchant ships are using
the American flag in an effort to
escape the hostile craft Of the enc
my.
The kaiser instructs his submar-
inc commanders to sink merchant
vessels approaching the English
coast, and warns America that it's
ships of commerce are in danger of
being destroyed.
If either country, in pursuance Of
its announced policy, destroys an
American flag, then that act be-
comes one Of war against the Unit
ed States, or of piracy on the high
seas.
And therein lies the extreme
gravity of situation.
President Wilson and his advisers
are straining every nerve in an eff
fort to avoid the danger of a clash,
and the people of this country can
best assist them by refraining from
partisan discussions of the war, and
by retaining their native GOODNESS and
calmness in the face of danger.
Hot headed denunciations and
yitr1ohc discussions Will only serve
to aggravate an already delicate
situation.
Let Europe fight its own battles.
Our business is to attend strictly to
pur own affairs-and to furnish
foor for the starving millions when
The inevitable time is at hand.
The president is speaking softly
but to the point-and he should
not be embarrassed by the flames of
racial strife.
Put on the soft pedal, brother
The soft pedal.

makes a very pretty Lovey Mary and brings to the character ali the sweet ness and all the lovable qualities which the author has written into it.
 Madeline Moore, as Miss Hazy, makes the most of a somewhat diffi- cult comedy role Her impersonation of the simpering "old maid" who is completely frustrated over her ap- preaching marriage, is drawn with fine consideration. Harry Hollings-
 worth as MT. Stubbins, the man of her choice, is equally good. The love- making scene between him and Miss Moore would have done credit to artists who have made comedy their speciality for years.
 Forrest Seabury enters into the role of Chris Hazy with the same spirit he always displays and Roy Phillips is very real Billy Wiggs. Hal Briggs makes a most impressive H. Hunker- dunkus Jones and John Ellis appears
 to satisfaction as MT. Wiggs.
 Welba Lestina and May Megin are Miss Lucy and Mrs. Eichorn, respec- lively, and are consistent to type, con- tributing some excellent comedy. Inez Lyman makes 8 convincing Mrs. Schultz and Eveta Francis, Mae Hughes and Inez Seabury are good as the Wiggs children. Others who con- tribute satisfactorily to the piece, as opportunities are afforded them are 1 Pen MacQuarrie. Stanley Dixon, R. J.. Pagan F. Matthews, Maurice Dover, Walter Bauer and William Newton. The piece is well staged and the en- tire production is fragrant with Mrs. Wiggs' bigheartedness and with the simple and unartificial atmosphere of
 the cabbage patch.'

FIFTH COMMANDMENT

 Bishop Potter paid a glowing tri- bute to the worth of Julius Steger's s dramatic playlet "The Fifth Conn mandment'' when he wrote As the colors of the setting sun finger In the sky long after the day has past, so fingers in my memory life story and the song of your beautiful playlet., I want every man, woman and child to go and see it.'' The Shuberts dramatized this rare dramatic play let into five reels of motion pictures and placed MT. Steger in the titular role of Carl Winters. the music teacher, the same role he created in the original stage production. The playlet is based upon the Mosaic law in the decaloque, and the play will always live because of it's clements of dramatic strength and moral uplift. Julius Steger gives a most

MANY PRETTY GIRLS
 AT KEENEY'S THEATER

Pretty girls. displaying beautiful gowns and the latest of all millinery creations, are prominent in The Fashion Shop vaudeville's big Parisian novelty Keeney's headliner for the current week. The act is a, big undertaking, requiring sixteen people for it's presentation. It is staged at enormous expense but if the attention it attracted in other cities is to be taken for criterion, the financial outlay was well war ranted With. the New Britain first nighters'"i it made a sensation and it will proba bly draw large audiences every day it is here. What milady Is to wear this summer is exhibited by the young ladies, led by the noted beauty Mabel Gray. The act may be summarized as a spring style show or a paradise of fair young women in the perfection of wearing apparel in stage setting of superb splendor.
 While the management went to big expense to get the act here, the rest of the show was not overlooked In fact the balance of the bill has unusual strength and is bigger than anything given here in years. There are six other numbers on the program.
 
 They are all high class specialties and they made favorable impression last evening.
 Numbered among the features Is Mile Futile and her collection of educated parrots. This is pretty number. Mile Futile has & number of birds of various description, all having beautiful plumage. They have been trained to do many things and their performance is one that all will enjoy. It is a novelty and the mere fact that it is something different makes it appreciated.
 Manuel Alexander and company in "The New Stenographer'' made hit last evening. This is a lively little skit with plenty Of fascinating slang and snappy batter. It has some excellent features and the au- dience likes it. ,sa
 Other performers on the bill are Virginia Carlton. the California night ineale: Whitley and Bell. snng aud comedy. The Kings, musical novelty and Miss Hayward, singing com- edierne.
