BEST THEATRE.

Monday-Wm. Fox presents William
Farnum and host of other stars in
an exciting fishing village melodrama
entitled the Battle of Hearts, sure
fire five-reel picture of the later type.
It is the story of masterful hero.
He is rich and the owner of fishing
fleet. The girl, the daughter of a
sea-captain, doesn't care for him and
prefers Joe, the son of the light
house keeper The hero tells her that
she is his mate whether she is willing
at present or not for neither God nor
the devil can take her away from him.
A storm wrecks his fleet and he has to
begin life all over again. But this
does not deter him from his determi-
nation. Now band of smugglers is
encamped there and Joe falls under
their influence. He steals from his
poor father and gets the hero blamed
for it. The excitement has been built
up by gradual degrees and gets more
edge to it. One night Joe puts dope
in his fathers coffee and the light
house is not started In the dark the
smugglers get load of booty in their
cave; but the heroine's ship is wreck
ed. The hero rescues her and in a
group of exciting incidents captures
the band. The climax is very tense.
But from under the maze of trouble
the hero energies unscathed and claims
his now waiting bride.
This is one of the prettiest ro-
mances ever staged, the settings be-
ing taken in realistic Newfound-
land fishing village.

Tom Moore plays the part Of the son
and Anna Nilsson the role Of the mill

girl, however, has no escape from the
deadly struggle for existence excep.

forbid this step for selfish purposes.
When the fathers Discover that

on her meagre arnings. The son is
tied even NOR closly to dependence on
his father by having even his small

ground for rebellion-and rebellion

Reports to tiie U. s. Biological Survey indicate that plume dealers, sportsmen and others opposed to sane legislation to prevent the ex- termination of many species of game birds and others are awakening to realization that the new migratory bird treaty entered into between the United States and Canada is coup on the part of the bird protectionists.
 Opponents of bird protection. in their fight against the federal migra- tory-bird law, of which Senator Me Lean. of Connecticut, is the father, carried their case to the United States Supreme Court, which has not yet handed down decision. With out awaiting the decision, the Ma tional Association of Audubon So- cieties, through Senator Mclean and Chief Henshaw, of the Biological Survey, succeeded in having treaty ratified with Canada which, auto matically, established federal control of all migratory tirds whether the present federal law be declared con- stitutional or not.

VOSS BASKETBALL TEAM BEATSC. B. CROWD, 22-2l
Contest Last Night at Y. M. C. A. One of the Hardest Fought
 Seen in Pine Bluff.

Perhaps the closest and hardest fought basketball game witnessed in Pine Bluff in years, was that last night at the Y. M c. A. between the Voss team and the Cotton Belt team, the final score being p to 21, in fla vor of the Voss bunch.
 At the end of the first half, the score was to 8. Nip and tuck they fought, and within the last minute of play, again the score was tied, Rem frow throwing a foul goal for the vic tory, almost as the game came to a close.
 In the opening contest, between the Elkins and the Franey-Culpepper teams, the former won in hard fought contest. by 26 to 16 Points were scored in the two games as follows:
 Elkins-Samuels, fields, s fouls; von Harten, 3 fields: Mccain, fields.
 Franev- Culpepper's 3 fields; McGaughy. 3 fields; Ledbetter, ? fields, 1 foul: Riggin, foul
 Voss-J. Mcintyre, 3 fields; Park or, 2 fields, ? fouls; Renfrow, field, 10 fouls.

PEACE 0vERTURES, PUTS GAMBLERS IN
 STOCKS IN PANIC
Steel and Copper Stocks Break 5 to 27 Points; Ex-
 chage Declines.

New York, Dec. 12.-Unsettled con- ditions. bordering on demoralization, overlook the stock market today, on the announcement of peace overtQres by Germany and her allies.
 Losses of 5 and 10 points were sus- tained by United States Steel, Cruel ble Steel, New York Airbrake, Utah Copper, Central Leather, Internation- al Paper and American Locomotive, while Bethlehem Steel declined 27 points, Gulf Steel 19 and United States Industrial Alcohol IS.
 The inference gathered from high sources of information was that the entente powers would not seriously entertain negotiations at this time, and in so-called neutral quarters the opinion was expressed that Germany's terms were far more comprehensive than had been expected. Neverthe- less, it seemed to be generally agreed that the psychological moment for a peace meeting was still some months off.
 Notice was taken of the fact that exchange on Germany and Austria de clined with the recurrent weakness of Italian and Russian exchange and new low quotations for Anglo-French bonds. Some correction of these ad- verse conditions was noted before the end of the day, however.
 Transactions on the stock exchange aggregated approximately 2,500,000 shares during the day.

I Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the Audubon Societies. at the New York headquarters of the Association, "and it is desire ble for all friends of birds to communicate with their sen- atcrs and representatives and ex- press their desire that the enabling act giving force to the treaty be passed by Congress. There will prob- ably be big fight over this bill at the coming session.
 "1n an effort to arouse a friendly and protective interest in birds, the Audubon societies have published small two-cent illustrated pamphlets describing practically every species and explaining their dollar-and-cents value to the Nation. To increase the game birds, we have published a twenty-6ve-cent book telling farm- CTS and others of the profitable propagation of wild game birds on the farm and how it can be done. This protective work and our many other efforts, however, would be in- adequate without the power of the federal authorities to fix game sea- sons for which the new treaty pro- vides." s~f'F

Figs From Sycamores.

Ordinary fig trees in Palestine bear the figs at the outer end of the bouchs and twigs. Just above our house in Beirut stands gnarled ancient syca. more. At certain seasons the trunk it. self and many of the larger branches are covered with thousands of small green figs, which grow on small twigs springing directly from the huge trunk ana larger branches. They are green. prickly, juiceless, and fall by thou. sands, with not even a hungry child to pick them up. They never maturS, except when someone climbs the tree and pinches them for a number of days, as boy pinches an apple or or. ange before eating or sucking it.-The Christian Herald.

About two miles northeast of Su perior, Wyoming, are the Leucite hills which are made up largely of igneous rocks in the form of volcanic necks sheets i1truded into the stratifed rocks, and dikes cutting across the sedimentary strata. Associated with these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones and lava flows. These rocks have long been objects of scientific interest be. cause of their unusual character. Late- " they have attracted additional inter- est by reason of the potash-rich min. .eral, leucite, they contain. which may some day be utilized if process can be found for extracting the potash cheaply. It has been estimated that the igneous rock of the Leucite hills contains more than 197, 100000 tons of potash.--Bulletin 612, U. s. Geological Survey.
