Hellig Olav, reported by the skipper
of the White Star freighter Bowie to
have been pursued by German sub
marine when about $50 miles east of
Sandy Hook, has sent a wireless mes

was no truth in the story.
Naturally, no submarine, unless her

his tophamper, would run after neu-

PRESENTATION.

The motion picture adoption of
Hall Gaines amazing story "TEe
Eternal City" produced in Italy and
England by the Famous Players Film
Company marks a new era in dramat-
ic perturbation. For many years Hall
Caine steadfastly refused to permit
this work to be produced upon the
screen. During a recent visit to Eng
land, however, Adolph Zukor, Presi-
dent of the Famous Players Film
Company, met the distinguished au
thor, who became impressed by the
astonishing artistic advancement of
American film producing companies,
and who subsequently was induced
by Mr.. Zukor to assign him the mo-
ton picture rights of the immortal
novel and play.
Under the direction of Edwin S.
Porter, Producing Manager of the
Famous Players Film Co., and Hugh
Ford, carefully selected company,
headed by Pauline Frederick, was
sent abroad to film this master-work
in the exact locale in which the stir
ring action occurs All the scenes
in the Vatican Gardens, in the Castle
of St. Angelo, the Coliseum, the ia
nous Roman Forum, the beautiful
Villa D'Est in the Tivoli. and other
historical spots in the imperial city,
were reproduced with the consent of
the highest ecclesiastical and civic
authority. All the costumes of the
Noble Guard, of the Roman Pontiff,
of the Swiss and Municipal Guards,
were made after specimen costumes
of these organizations loaned by the
highest sanction. 1t is the first time
in the history of motion pictures,
that these unprecedented liberties
have been granted. Messrs. Porter
and Ford, also succeeded in secur-
ing the services of thousands of the
Roman Carabianieri, and have i'm
mortalized with absolutely perfect
detail every phase of Hall Gaines
wonderful story. The production is
on an order of sumptuousness that
realizes all the possibilities of the
play from a scenic, sartorial and &C
cessional standpoint.
The manner in which the Pope
is introduced as a visible parsonage
fails to offend the most critical, and
the dignity and nobility which are
inseperably associated with him
have been faithfully preserved
With its unusual environment and
its historical significance, the pro
duction presents thrilling combina-
of realism and romance

The Story of
THE ETERNAL CITY"

No summary of bare facts could
adequately describe the historical ac-
curacy and dramatic integrity of the
film adoption of THE Eternal City"
When the impressive and climatic
theme of Hall Gaines master work
was first presented to the public as
a novel, the emotions of the world
were stirred by the beauty, the no.
bility, and the human tragedy of the
remarkable plot. Within an incred-
IDLY short time the novel became one
OF the most widely read and dis
cussed books of modern literature,
and this astounding popularity re-
suited in the dramatization of the
story, which was further encouraged
by the tense dramatic construction of
the book. The play was universally
received with an overwhelming de-
gree of appreciation, and will be re-
corded in theatrical annals as one Of
the foremost artistic successes of the
present dramatic epoch The picto-
rial version of this celebrated sub
ject presents the thrilling incidents
and climaXes, the romance and trag-
edy the elements Of love and betray-
al, suffering and sacrifice, and the
beautiful ideals and humanities CT
the original plot, with wider range,
in truer Colors, and with holder
strokes, than were possible in the
novel or play, and will therefore rem
der the inspiring story its greatest
measure of immortality.
The company selected for the in
depreciation of the plot is an eXcep-
tionally strong one. Pauline Fred
erick attains a faithful conception o.
the ardent and impetuous, but tender
and magnetic, qualities of Donna
Roma, and portrays this exacting
role with Incompatible charm and
grace. Thomas Holding dignifies
and ennobles David Rossi, the ideal
list, and the devoted lover of Roma.
Frank Losee delineates the villainies
Of Baron Bonelli with effective sub
tlety, Fuller Mellish in his physical
aspects and convincing strength and
pathos, admirably takes the part of
His Holiness, Plus XI, and George
Majeroni makes Doctor Roselli, polit-
ical reformer and exile, sympathet-
ic and patient character. The min
or roles are all portrayed artistically
and skilfully.

of the Quartette were never free from
colds at the same time.
The Glass was glad to have Brotn-

1t is hoped to soon have the young

In the Christmas issue of the Won

In the Christmas issue of the Wom-
ans Home Companion is told the
following scheme of a bird lover to
carry good cheer out of doors:
"She procured little tree about
three feet high, decorated it with
strings of popcorn and cranberries,
and. in Difference to the birds taste,
added roasted peanuts and small
pieces Of suet-the choicest delicacy
OF all. The tree was placed on the
root of the porch, and proved so pop
ular with the birds that she declares
that every year, without an excep-
ti4a. her Christmas will include a
tree for the birds"

Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,

Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird Is one Of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are its favorite nesting places
and retreats, but berry patches and
ornamental shrubbery are not dis
dained. Hence the bird Is familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has fine
song. unfortunately marred by occa'
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the hooking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbird has
never secured a similar place In pop.
ular favor. Half Of its food consists
of fruit. and the cultivated crops most
often inquired are cherries, strawber-
ries, raspberries, and blaekberries.
Beetles. ants. crickets, and grasshop-
pers are the most important element
Of its animal food. The bird is known
to attack a few pests, as cutworms,
leaf beetles, clover-root curculio, and
the periodical cicada, but the good It
does in this way probably does not
pay for the fruit it steals. The ex'
tent to which 1t should be protected
may perhaps be left to the individual
cultivator; that is, it should be made
lawful to destroy catbirds that are do.
ing manifest damage to crops.

1t is not pleasant to record the
truth that there are mothers, who
have sacrificed motherhood 10
worldly ambition, and the most
unhappy women on eatth are
those who have set aside filial ties
in order to live lives of social friv-
olity, and the time comes to ali
such, when the bloom of youth
forsake the cheek, and the fire OF
youth dies out of the eye. Such
often turn to their homes for SYM
pathy and love, only to find that
they; too, have vanished, and
when it is too late the sad truth
dawns upon them that they are I'M
honored and unloved. The path
of duty Is the only safe path, let il
be ever s. thorny, and the only
safe guide-board that points to the

lust A Word About Shallow
Corn Cultivation.
BY T. II. CASANOVA

At the present time the same
optomistic corn man that might
have through this parish before
the corn was layed by would be
somewhat surprised and in many
cases extremely disappointed at
the result of the method OF butcher
ing the prospective corn crop with
double pillow and disk by the ma
iority of farmers of the parish.
1t is the consensus of opinion
among farmers that there must be
a great amount of dirt piled around
a stalk of corn taken from over
the roots in the middles to keep
the corn from being blown down.
This dirt is taken at the expense
of the corn that would have gone
in the crib and has not in any res
pect caused the corn to stand the
wind any better than that left with
some dirt in the middles for the
roots to get the supply or plant
food to make the ear.
Bv shallow cultivation we do
not mean that corn should i'll all
asses be kept on level from plant
ing time to harvest. There are
number of local conditions that
might cause some variation in the
method employed. There ought
however, to be some provision of
planting corn as low as possible
at the beginning, so as to give it a
good roofing system. When corn
is up to a stand there ought to be
one deep cultivation bringing a
slight amount of dirt to the stalk
to give proper drainage and kill
the small weeds that are expected
to grow in the middle.
The laying by process as follow
ed by most farmers is in many
cases a great reducer of Yields in
the parish. Rather than plow
at laying by time a more appro-
pirate implement would be some
