torney the next day. To prevent
Morris finding out her deception,
Marion drugs and robs him of the
fraudulent box.
Captain Dorian March, an officer OF
the United States Army and sweet
heart of Ovens, comes to the rescue,
While the police are pursuing Mar
ION, Dorian, although he has no
knowledge of what it contains, takes
the box and the suspicion with him.
After eluding the police by jumping
into the river, Dorian enlists as a
private soldier in a Canadian regi-
4 'ent. The troopship on which he
-ruaves for the front is torpedoed and
sinks with all on board.
Gwen is being forced into mar
riage with Ferrers, who threatens to
expose her sister. She believes
Dorian is drowned. The situation is
saved by Dorian, who is rescued by a
tramp steamer and returns in the
nick of time. Also Madame Dor
vile learns the true state of affairs,
and returns her tiara to the pawn
broker as if from a repentant crook.
She is aided in this by faithful
friend of Dorian's and sweetheart of
her own, called Hogg, who, in Mar
ions name, redeems the tiara from
Morris.
Ferrers' attempt to force Gwen
into immediate marriage, to save Mar
ion from the police, is frustrated by
Dorian's arrival and the coming Of
the detective, who tells of the restora-
ton of the tiara to Morris.
Dorian is cleared, Marion's honor is
saved and Gwen and Dorian are
united.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Southern States Woman Suffrage
Conference.
AT Camp Street, New Orleans.
Root Illogic.

Can anything be funnier than the
reasoning of Elihu Root? Here are
some quotations: tThe whole busi-
ness. of government in which we are
ALL concerned is becoming serious,
grave and threatening" How does
he explain ALL as precluding women ?
And his logic in the address before
the Pan-American Scientific Congress
is at variance Withhis views in Amer
lean applied democracy. He COM
pared individual and national rights
by citing that human beings have the
right of defense. And then he says !:
We deem the independence and equal
rights of the smallest and weakest
members of the family of nations en-
titled to as much respect as those of
the greatest empire, and we deem the
observance of that respect the chief
guarantee of the weak against the OPP
preston of the strong Well, say,
isn't there Nsomething inconsistent
about that last statement and stand
in opposition to Women's equal op-
portunity in the protection of the
ballot?

Women Workers Increasing in
Numbers,

Practical conditions and fimsy
theories seem to be at variance in
New York. A report issued by the
Intercollegiate bureau of occupations
shows that women workers are in
creasing greatly in numbers and the
demand almost exceeds the supply.
Yet New York voters just refused to
give women the ballot on the theory
that women should stay in the home,
and that men should be protectors.
Good theory, that. Nobody finds
much fault with it, but it looks to an
outsider as if New York men were
falling down on the protector job,
when the records Of working women
al.e examined. Wonder if any of the
men who voted 'sno'' to giving women,
ae protection of the ballot, haves
wage earning women in their fami-
les? And, wonder No. 2, do all the
,.nti-suffrage men refuse to employ
women SO as to keep them at home,
or do they take advantage of wo-
mems voteless inability to demand
legislation concerning jobs?

"sINs OF SOCIETY"
Gem Theatre to Pres-nt Gripping
Photodrama Tomorrow.

'The Sins of Society," a powerful
and thrilling melodrama filled with
sensational and exciting incidents,
will be the attraction at the Gem to-
morrow. A brief synopsis of the
story is as follows:
Marion Beaumont and her younger
sister, Gwendolin, are orphans, in
heriting from their father mort
Gagged estate, gambling instincts and
q social position to uphold.
Through gambling and card debts
they become deeply involved Marion
gets into the hands of Noel 'a,rers,
who, under the pretense of helping
her. is gradually drawing her into a
web of serious trouble, so that he can
compel her younger sister, Gwen, to
become his wife. Ferrers persuades
Marion, in a fit of desperation, to
chow a magnificent tiara of precious
stones lent to her by Madame
D,Oryille, to Morris, society pawn
broker.
The clever strategy suggested by
Ferrers to raise money on the TIARA
is to change the box containing the
Jewel for one which holds only a
paper weight. With the money thus
obtained, Ferrers tells Marion her
fortune is certain by backing his
horse for race the next day. The
horse loses, as Ferrers intends, and
Marion is distracted. One night
Morris sees Madame D'Orville wear
ing the tiara which is supposed to be
locked IN his safe. AS the tiara is
far too uncommon to be duplicated,
Morris sends for Marion and insists
upon having the box, supposed to con-
tain the tiara, opened before his at

dipping bath gained 385 pounds in

weight in two months.
The price you'd pay veterinarian
for curing a wound, OF that you would
spend for liniment and cloths to cure
the wound yoursel would more than
pay FOR dipping ticky cattle, and save
this terrible drain on their blood and
strength. The trouble in driving the
animal to the dipping vat and letting
it swim through would be less than
treating the wound.
Moreover, when a beef animal has
been freed from ticks, because it can
be sold in the open pens at the stock
yards in competition with other free
cattle, it brings from SIS to $40 more
per head than when offered for inn
mediate slaughter only from a
quarantine pen. It costs less to ship
tiek-free cattle than ticky cattle, be-
cause ticky cattle have to be shipped
under quarantine restrictions, which
add greatly to the cost, and make the
animal worth less at home and cause
it to bring less net profit at the pack
ing house.
Dip that tick!

SAFE FARMING FOR SOUTH.


r
bic Than One-CTop System.
With characteristic fofcefulnes
and terseness, Hon Bradford Knapp
head of the United States farm de
monstration work, in an address tx
bankers, business men and farmer:
OF the south, covers the diversified
ton situation as follows:
with the price of cotton going up
are you, Mr.. Banker, Mr.. Business
Man and Mr.. Farmer, going back te
the old way? The history of the ag.
riculture of the south has been a his
tory Of lean years and fat years. The
| farmer has lived in distress because
short crops and high prices are al.
most invariably followed by big crops
and low prices. If we would produce
our own living it would steady the
whole system and keep the boat from
rocking. The entire agriculture Of
the cotton belt has been a gamble
1t has not produced rich and pros
porous farming people because of its
uncertainty, although cotton is one
OF the greatest cash crops.
With the rise in the price of cot
ton, are you going to play safe or
are you going to take chance? Now
IS the time to decide. If you gam
bic on the price Of cotton you take a
chance; if you follow the program
outlined by all the agricultural forces
last fall, you will take no chance.
Here is the program in a nutshell,
the title of which is Safe Farming:
First. Produce home garden for
every family on the produce
irish or sweet potatoes and where
ever possible have patch of sorghum
or cane to produce syrup for the fam
lily.
Second. Produce the corn nec-
essary to support all the people on
the farm and the live stock.
Third. Produce the necessary
oats and small grain to supplement-
the corn as feed. Pay attention to
winter grazing of animals.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage.
Gse legumes.
Fifth Produce the meat neces-
sary to supply the people, through in-
creased attention to hogs and poultry
Sixth. After all these things have
oeen amply provided for in the crop
system, proauce cotton for the mar
i,et.
If this course is pursued the farm
er will prosper whether cotton is fif-
teen cents or six cents. If cotton is
six cents the farmer will be able to
live; if it is fifteen cents there will
be more profit in his cotton crop in
the long run, than there would be if
he neglected the living.
Mr.. Business Man and Mr.. Farm
er, do you want the south to prosper
permanently? If SO, lend your in
fuence to this great problem of safe
farming. A campaign will be carried
on in the various states during the
winter and spring eentering around
the various lines of this program.
Lend us your aid and assistance in
this campaign as you did last year.
Not Safety First, but Safe Farming
Always!'
Added to the advantages enumer-
ated by Mr.. Knapp in favor of less
cotton and more Of other things, it
has been observed that a small cotton
crop usually brings more money to
the grower than q large crop; in
other words, that the more cotton he,
grows the less money he receives for
it.

oRAToRIcAL TREAT PROMISED.
Noted Lecturer to Speak Here Toner
row in Cause of Common Good.

Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the free public lecture on
Whats Wrong with the World" to
| be delivered at the local courthouse
tomorrow night by Peter Collins, Of
Massachusetts,, under the auspices of
Ascension Council No. 1887, Knights
of Columbus.
Mr.. Collins lecture is one of a
series in the nationwide educational
program Of the supreme council of
the Knights of Columbus, and the
message of the lecturer is one in the
cause of God and country, of civic
Righteousness and the general welfare.
1t is a clear and logical treatment of
great problems confronting not only
the people of America, but vital to
civilization and its advancement. It
is entirely free from bitterness and
makes for better understanding and
a kindlier feeling between every ele-
ment in community.
The work that Mr.. Collins has been
doing for the common good by his
lectures throughout the country has
earned the approval of clergymen OF
all denominations, sociologists, pro-
fessors, workingmen and statesmen,
and its service for justice, good will
among men, civic progress and social
welfare can hardly be overestlmated.
The general public is cordially IN
vited to attend this lecture, which
will begin at o'clock.

Moffatt seemed to say that such was not the case - that 1t was a gov ernment commission, and he dwelt upon that phase with an emphasis which rather indicated the desire to have it understood that controversial matters were not taken into account in choosing the personnel of the board Samuel Gompers had nothing whatever to do with the selection of the commission. but he was probably taken into conference as he cabled to the Anchorage union to wait until the commission arrived there before con tinuing a strike. Secretaries Lane and Wilson alone are the men who select ed the board. The members were ap- pointed at a conference of those two cabinet members.
 "The commission does not want to anticipate" was a favorable phrase of Mir. Moffatt when attempts were made to learn any preconceived ideas that might have been formed. When re- quested to state whether the decision of the commission would be announced before it left Alaska, Mir. Moffatt de clared that Tit is up to the commits sion to decide where to fix the wage schedule-here or in Washington"
