BRADY DENOTES MUCH
 TIME TO HIS PICTURES
World Film Head Supervises Much of the Work on the
 Big Features.

When William A. Brady announced his decision to take charge of the production end of the World Film Corporation, and not put his name on a feature unless it really was a feature very few people versed in the theatri- cal business. figured that this leading light of stagecraft would plunge right into the work and devote his time and energy to pictures. Nevertheless that is just what NIT. Brady has done. Every day in the week, and sometimes Sun days, William A. Brady is in the World Film studios, coat and hat of, working as hard as any director, play. CT or scene shifter. William A Brady has promised to give the photoplay world better motion pictures, and he is going to do just that thing. One of his latest personally supervised re- leases is The Rail Rider" with House Peters and Zena Keefe, directed by Maurice Tourneur It is a great i'm provement over many past releases, and is on a par with The Closed Road La vie de Boheme," and other Brady-made subjects. It will be shown at the Royal theatre today.

RELIEF ASSOCIATION PLAYS SANTA CLAUS
 THIS CHRISTMAS
Everybody's Going to Have a Real Big Basket Dinner, Thanks to Elks and Public Spirited Folks.

In a room in the basement of the Central school building in Bisbee sits a woman whose name means cheer to more families in Warren District than perhaps any other name in the Dis trict Particularly at Christmas time, do the thoughts of needy folks turn to Miss Esther Cummins, of the War always sees that Santa Claus never forgets the humber homes on Christ mas.
 Upward of eighty families, white and Mexican, will have a cheerful Christmas Monday who perhaps would have none if it weren't for Miss Cum mins.
 Through her aid, clubs and fraterni- ties, lodges, churches and big hearted folks of the District have joined in making every body happy
 Again the Elks are remembering the poor folks and are gong to distribute baskets Saturday.
 The churches are joining in the work and will ask donations of food and clothing Sunday night. to be col lected by the Relief Association Mon day morning.
 The Woman's club is supplying both clothes and a fat check through the Relief Association and every other similar Organization m the district Is aiding the cause one way or another.
 It is cause for wonder that Miss Cummins can remain the same cheer full woman throughout the year, day in and day out hearing the plaintiff walls of humanity in distress, of desti- tute families, or broken men, of tuber- culars without friends or funds. For the Relief Association continues its good work long after the giving spirit of Christmas has vanished in clear air, in fact throughout the 365 days of the year.
 One fact stands out this year-the prosperity of the camp extends to all parts, and there are less needy this year than for several years previous
 It doesn't mean that poverty doesn't exist for it does, but there is satisfac- tion in noting that less are in absolute want than upon previous Christmases.
 Throughout the year the associa- tion has distributed clothing, 70 on Christmas its efforts will be directed i more to folks stomachs. The Elks' i baskets will contain the following | goodies to be distributed Saturday: | one chicken or perhaps two, if the | family is large, bread, butter, milk, celery, coffee, sugar. cranberries, ap- ples candy and other articles.
 The associations baskets will be | similar to those of the Elks.

STOLE $50 GRAIN CHECK
FROM A SMALL BOY

A warrant is out for the arrest of
Daniel Doyle, wanted for alleged
stealing of check of $50 belonging
to William E. Ford, Tuesday.
William Ford is boy OF fifteen
and is forced to take up the duties
Of the management of the home
ranch near Maloney, this county, be-
cause of the blindness of his father.
He brought load of grain to town,
sixty miles, arriving Monday night.
After disposing of the grain, it is
said that Doyle, who has been en-
ployed as farm hand on the Ford
ranch and who came in on the load,
suggested that he retain the check
of $50 for the night for safety, to
which the boy agreed.
Doyle succeeded in getting Clyde
Atkins to cash the check, and then
caught a west bound passenger train
Sheriff Shaw was appealed to, but
because of lack of telegraphic COM
munication with Havre, was unable
to reach that city in time to have
Doyle arrested before he left the
train there.
Payment was stopped on the check

POLISH WHEAT.

More inquiries have reached tht
Experiment station relative to the
yield and quality Of Polish wheat
during the season of 1916 than have
ever come in during any one season
prior to this This indicates consid-
type of wheat and the following
statement of the results OF tests at
Experiment station is sent out with
the idea of showing what this type
of wheat has done.
History
In his book "Cereals in America
published in 1904 Prof Hunt. who
was then at Cornell University and
who is now Dean Of Agriculture in
the University of California, says:
'sThis wheat is cultivated somewhat
in southern Europe but is ordinarily
not considered productive. 1t is be-
}ieved by Carleton to be adapted for
the production of macaroni but not
for bread making' Carleton her
referred to is the cereaist Of the
United States Department OF Agr;
culture.
Yield and Quality
The table appearing below gives
the results Of tests at the Expert
ment Station at Bozeman under irri-
cation. The yields are the average
Of the two years 1914 and 1915.
The varieties Marquis, which is a
we'll known bread making wheat,
and macaroni spring wheat are in
cluded for contrast purposes. The
baking test reported were carried on
in the grain labratory at the Exper-
iment station where there are mod
ern milling and baking facilities.

1t will be noted that the yield of
the Polish wheat is much below that
