The Old-Time Harvest.

Do we recall the days in the field when
we were boy? Well. | reckon.
Here is man who has felt the inhuman
touch and we reach out to shake his hand
in sympathy. Listen to what he says:
"If you were boy on the farm you
will recall wildly what harvest meant to
you, for you had to carry water, and
harvest hands were thirsty set, nor
did they seem to care how far it was to
the spring, or how badly chapped your
feet
"When not carrying water you were
busy gathering sheaves, which was about
the hardest work in sight, or at least you
thought it was.
"Then for an hours rest, during which
the men would sprawl out in the shade
of tree, or on the porch, in the great
est comfort And maybe you would have
found a good place to rest your weary
bones, and about to settle unto it, when
one of the Graders would come along
with leaky bucket in one hand and a
dull scythe in the other and order you to
come along and turn the grindstone while
you were resting.
Didn't it seem that they had spite
at boy in harvest time on the FARM

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IND,
Victor Moore in
''SNOBS.'

"Snobs, pcturized by the Jesse l..
Lasky Feature Play Co., with Victor
Moore as the star, may be said to be a
comedy of modern society mixing milk
and blue blood. One Charles Disney, the
hero of the story, is perfectly good
milkman, who suddenly, through the
death of various relatives, finds himself
transformed into an English Duke with
millions of pounds sterling at his COM
mand A perfectly good milkman may
not be perfectly good Dukc-at least,
not until he finds out how to do the
Duke business" as one born to the part.
When Disney first becomes a Duke he
determines to make the most out of his
rise in the social scale, with results that
are almost Understandable. 1t is, however,
with astonishment that he finds his title
and his money cannot buy the one girl he
loves, even though all the other women
fawn upon him while they mock him be-
hind his back.
By the end of the story, milk and blue
blood have learned to mix, so to speak
for Disney has learned that simplicity is
the best rule in every walk of life.
