HAUNTING EYES
 BEWITCH MILLIONS
Big, Staring, BOo-fuI Eyes Act Like Magnet Upon Masses and
 Classes.

l just cant make my eyes behave.
 You know that phrase You know the commedienne who created Sts popularity. You also know that she reigned as one of the worlds greatest stars of the stage for years.
 Those haunting, bewitching, fasci- hating, boo-ful eyes, those eyes of Anna Held, the French comedienne, have not last their glimmer and gilt ter, neither have they ceased to charm and thrill people.
 Time was when thousand people watched those eyes that "can't be- have,' but times have changed, and with the release of Madame La Presidente," through the Paramount Pictures Corporation, the first motion picture in which Miss Held has ap- peared a million will be granted that thrilling pleasure. The production was made by the Morosco Company, and released February 7th.
 Gowns of ultra Parisian style are displayed in this picture adding to the attractiveness of the star, who is sur rounded by a cast of notable players including Forrest Stanley. Herbert Standing, Page Peters, Lydia Yea mans Titus, Helen Eddy and others.
 Madame La Presidente is a famous French farce, first given to the play lovers of this country with Fannie Ward in the title role. It tells of the troubles started by the fondness for gayety of three mature French judges who with an eye to securing the good graces of their superior, Judge Cali paux, they enjoy losing an occasional game of whist.
 Galipaux, with his reputation for morality, yet burdened with an ambi- tious wife, is compelled to reprimand the three judges whose "high jinks" causes the ejection from the town hotel of Mile Gobette of the "Pet of the Harem" travelling company.
 Revenge is her first thought. She calmly presents herself at the house of the magistrate who was respon- sible for her homeless dilemma, and before he knows it goes to the bed room of his absent wife.

 Complications of most riotous na- ture follow, for the minister becomes fascinated with the soubrette, and when the story shifts to Paris, the duel of wits between the terrified magistrate and the shrewd minister, each to keep his secret, makes one of the most Imaginable situations in mod ern light comedy.

MEASURING THE MISSISSIPPI

One of the basic lines of activity of the United States Geological Survey ls the measurement of the flow of the rivers of the United States. This work was begun by the survey in 1888 in connection with special studies of water for irrigation, and since 1895 the bills passed by Congress appro- prlating money for the work of the survey have carried an item flor gazing streams" Measurements of flow have been made at about 3.4O0 points in the United States and at many points in small areas ln Seward Peninsula and the Yukon Panama re- zion, Alaska, and in the Hawaiian Islands. Numerous private and State organizations have cooperated in the work either by furnishing data or by providing financial assistance in col lecting the data. In July, 1914, about l,4SO gazing stations were being maintained by the survey and the CO., operating organizations, and many measurements of discharge were made at other points.
 A report just issued on the lower Mississippi river basin (Water Supply Paper 3S7), which forms Part VII of the annual series entitled Surface water supply of the United States" gives the results of cooperative work between the federal survey and the States of Colorado and New Mexico. The records presented include des- Icriptions of stations on Arkansas and Red rivers and their tributaries in the States of Colorado, New Mexico. and Oklahoma, at which measurements were made, and tables of daily gage heights and daily monthly discharge. An appendix to the report gives a list of the gazing stations that have been maintained by the survey, from lso5 to 1914, on streams diScharging into the Mississippi below the mouth of the Ohio, and a list of the survey publications relating to water re- sources in the area.
 Owing to its technical character the report lacks interest for the general reader, but it will be useful to en- gineers and others concerned in the utilization of the streams. Copies may be obtained without charge by apply ing to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.

ORIGIN OF TWO BITS"
Came From the Southwest and NO
 From the East.

The discussion over the origin Ot the term two bits" and its multipe ot -four bits" "six bits," etc, may arouse as much comment as the 3d. .con-Shakespeare controversy. 10 Northern and Eastern people the term sounds like popular slang expres sion, says the Milwaukee News, but to the people of the West and Southwes 1t is common if not provincial. The price of "a quarter" is seldom used It is much easier to say "siX olS than 75 cents.
 Explanation of the origin of the term "bit" comes from the reference to the monetary system in l192, when the Spanish milled dollar became the unit of money. At that time theR happened to be coined under Spansa authority piece of silver for MexNV representing the eighth part of d0r lar called real" after the name "a coin in Spain and with the sap' value as the early American shilling Yankees used the shilling as com mon expression, and some can f, member when farmers in the Cent" and Eastern states employed theH extra help at so many shillings a's Six, eight, ten and twelve shlllins' was heard in all lines of trade.
 When adventurers went to oap fornia and the Southwestern part the United States they found that ". rcales of the Mexican was equlVai7' to two shillings in the United Sta''' Later dos reales became as coni"V' as quarter. Americans have sorbed very few Spanish words. "". the language is filled with Gerins and French words, few Spanish w0iS were found. The American hs's learned to say dos reales ana might have Americanized that ahiO~ by saying 1.-two bits" Hence IL nr be that two bits" is of Southwes''' and not Eastern origin.

Coal cinders, crushed stone, broken crockery, glass and coarse sand all answer as grit when only few fowls are kept, but the commercial grit is cheap, and little goes great way, so that it pays to buy the best.

It takes plenty of succulence, such as green clover, alfalfa and other green grasses to keep the yolk of the eggs from being pale or light color. When hens must be kept in small yards they should have variety of vegetables as we'll as animal food, in order to color the egg content.
 The flesh of milk-fed chickens is usually whiter and more toothsome than common ones. A chicken is termed milk-fed when it has been put in marketable condition on foods mixed with milk, or when milk has formed an important part in it's diet. It Is claimed by many expert poul- try raisers that the "best food to make chicks grow is the food that makes the hens lay. Foods rich in protein and albumen are better than too much fattening food.

BIG CIRCUS COMING.
Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows Are
to Appear Here Soon.

Peanuts and pink lemonade will soon
be ripe and the odor of sawdust tanbark
will permeate the air. The Carl Hagen
beck-Wallace Circus, gayest, grandest,
gladdest galaxy in all the wide world, is
coming to New Ulm on Friday, Sept. 9Th,
for two performances. This year the
big shown reality there are two
shows-will come aboard three special
trains, the longest ever used to transport
circus aggregation.
The country for miles around is all
aglow with the noisy circus bills of
purple and gold, and the downtown bill
boards are the mecca, upon which
thousands of eyes feast their gaze.
Father Time is always on the job; scenes
come and go, but somehow or other the
circus is just the circus, and it's popularity
never wanes. The joys and memories
OF circus day keep a steady hold upon
the heart-strings of the American people.
All through the long months of winter
agents of the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace
Circus have been securing the continents
of the earth, securing novelties and
features. The performance this year
will be entirely new. More than 400
acrobats, gymnasts, riders, contortionists
and athletes, together with fifty clowns,
compose the circus end. In addition the
big show is augmented with Carl Hagen
beck's trained wild animal exhibition.
Hundreds of wild animals, lions, leopards,
tigers, pumas, jaguars, elephants, seals,
monkeys, etc. will constitute that depart
ment.
Performances will be given at and
8 p. m. Doors to the geological paradise
will be opened an hour earlier. A three
mile-long street parade will leave the
show grounds at 10 clock the day of the
exhibition and will pass through the
principal downtown streets. Adv. "a

MORE THAN PROMISED.

Fulfilled all that is promised is an
expression that appears in newspaper
reviews of the new Lyman H. Howe
Travel Festival which comes to the
Turner Theatre on Tuesday, August
10Th, With more than two hours of
remarkable reproductions representing
natural things that are educating, enter
tanning, amusing and thrilling to the
minds of appreciative spectators, the
new Howe program offers an exceptional
treat
For the first time in the history of the
West Point Military Academy moving
pictures have been made representing the
institution in it's gala summer dress.
The War Department offered the Lyman
H. Howe cameras extraordinary facili-
ties for recording all the picturesque
points of view at this splendid institution.
Since Congress increased the number of
cadets in the new 1916 classes there have
appeared on the beautiful grounds over
looking the Hudson River an extra sized
spectacle of splendid young Americans
being trained to officer the new and
larger United States Army. The new
statue of George Washington which over
looks the parade grounds adds touch
of patriotic environment which Mr..
Howe will reveal in his reproduction of
the events in the life of a West Point
cadet.
There will be many other features of
real interest and charm including Sunny
Spain, far-off Hawaii, Norway, with it's
famous fjords and towering mountains,
outdoor games recorded by the camera
at normal and ultra-slow speed, beautiful
specimens of fresh water fish, and all new
animated cartoons and other comedy
films, etc.

That no party under sixteen years of

That every car must be provided with
