drab, colorless existence compared
with the melodramatic happengs which

odd years of Charles Arling's life.
Everyone knows Airing as an actor in
motion pictures. Few know the ro-
nance of the William Fox photoplayer.
Errand boy in one of Bostons larg-
est bird stores was his first position,
and the joyous experience of being
locked up with a lot of inane, jabber-
ing birds one night is only a mild in
cldent of this part of his career Long
association with the Hubs educated
and cultured songsters gave him an
excellent baritone voice himself, so the
erstwhile errand boy jumped voice
foremost into the ranks of the famous
Bostonian Opera company. A few

'ous Players production "Hulda From
Holland" by Edith Barnard Delano,
which is to be the Paramount feature
next week. For the scenes in this fas-
cinating combination of comedy and
pathos which transpire in Holland, the
producers erected a complete Dutch
village and transported hundreds of
Villagers" to the spot where several
days were consumed in photographing
the action. When Hulda and her three
little brothers leave Holland and come
to America the action is transferred
to Pennsylvania where Hulda's uncle
resides. OF course he is a typical
Pennsylvania Dutchman and there is
only one place where they are to be
found. So John B. O'Brien, who di-
rected the production for the Famous
Players, took his company to the heart
OF the Pennsylvania Dutch country in
order to get just the proper flavor.

SHAVING NOT LABOR,
BUT ONLY CURRYING

Shaving is not labor but only curry
ing. and the state has no right to deny
a man the privilege granted a mule,
according to a brief filed in the state
supreme court at Des Moines by at
torneys for a Davenport barber ar
rested on complaint of the BARRIERS
union for keeping his shop open on
Sunday
IF man can curry mule on Sun
day he has right TO have his own
head curried, in a manner of speak
ing" says the brief. "The removal of
whtskers, which grow equally fast
Sundays or week days, is a sanitary
measure, for the protection Of the
wearer of the whiskers and the public
at large"

published yesterday by the Univer-

1.-The only cure for a rate war"
says Professor Fisher. was a rate
agreement or combination of some
sort. All economists know our mod
ern industrial combinations are large
ly the outgrowth Of just such cut
throat competition and were estab-
lished for the express purpose Of
remedying that evil.
What is needed is an International
political combination, such as
league to enforce peace. Without
must America enter upon a policy of
preparedness, but the cost of inter-
national military competition will, in
future generations grow greater, not
less, and wars more frequent and dis
astrous The United States is now
too close to the rest of the world to
pursue q policy Of isolation. We
must either compete with the rest or
combine with the rest.
THE time has come when the two
alternative proposals-cutthroa COM
petition or ombination-should be
plainly put before the world. We
should make it clear to all nations
that as long as they engage in their

Sunset On tho Prairies.


(By James w. Foley.)
They have tanned it with their har-
They have broken it with blows,
Where the bison used to range 1t,
someone's built himself house.
They have stuck it full Of fence posts,
They have girded 1t with wire,
they have shamed it and profaned It
With the automobile tire;
They have bridged its quilted rivers,
They have peopled it with mon;
They have churched it, they have
They have steepled it-Amen.
They have furrowed 1t with ridges.
+, They have seeded it with grain,
! And the west that was worth knowing
shall never see again.
They have smothered all the camp
Where the beaten plainsman slept;
They have driven up their cattle,
Where the skulking coyote crept.
They have made themselves pas
Where the timid deer would
browse:
! Where the antelope were feeding,
They have dotted DER with COWS.
There's a yokel's tuneless whistle
Down the bison's winding trail:
Where q redman's arrow huttered
There's woman with q pail
Driving up the cows for milking;
They have cut it's wild extent
Into forty acre patches.
TILL its glory Is all spent.
!; remember in the sixties
When az far as I could SEQ,
1t was neither lord nor ruler,
But the buffalo and me.
Ere the blight Of man was on It,
And the endless acres lay
Just as God Almighty left them
On the restful seventh day,
When no sound rose from its vastness
But murmured hum and din
Like the echoed void Of silence
In an unheard prairie hymn;
And lay at night and rested
In my bed Of blankets curled,
Much alone az II I were
The only man in all the world.
But the prairie's passed, or passing,
With the passing Of the years.
TIL there IL no West worth knowing
And there are no pioneers.
They have riddled 1t with railroads,
Throbbing on and on and on.
) They have r1dded 1t Of dangers
TIL the zest Of 1t is gone.
And I've saddled up my pony.
For I'm dull and lonesome here
To 60 westward, westward, westward,
Till we fnd new frontier;
To get back to Gods own wilderness
And the skies we used to know
But there IL no West; it's conquered
And don't know where to go.
