in migrating from the mainland, the
beetles have apparently been unable
to cross the wide, icy waters.

WHO'S GUILTY." SERIES READY

All of these photo-novels are prob
lem plays that present a terrific indict-
ment of certain p~resent-day habits and
conventions of society. They are con-
corned with the moral guilt of the men
and women back of those Immediately
guilty. They are pages Of life as it is
lived by all, showing us as creatures
of environment and Gil cumstance and
caught in the whirlpool of our strenu-
Gus existence.
Miss Anna Nilsson and Tom Moore,
the co-stars of the Who's Guilty? p"
series, are seen in n variety of roles
that call for the highest historionic
ability. No two of the stories are
alike in plot, set, or costume; the re-
suit has been to tax to the limit the
energies of the players, of Howell Han
sci and Lawrence B. McGill, who are
directing the who's Gui'ty?" stories,
and Hickson, the Fifth avenue mod
este, who has designed Miss Missions
gowns exclusively for the who's
GUILTY." series.
Puppets of Fate" the first of the
series, hinges on the moral and legal
right of a surgeon to perform a serious
operation on a member of his own fam
lily. Medical and surgical ethics frown
on such a practice; but there is no
legal prevention of ii. When the sur
geon in Puppets of Fate" makes his
big mistake it is left to the audience
to determine who actually is guilty
the surgeon, his wife, a wealthy widow,
who has perhaps over encouraged his
ambitions, a fellow-surgcon, or the lat
ter's wife.
In the same manner the right of a
parent to determine whom his son
shall marry is presented in "The Tight

The study discloses that the time Of

Cooperative associations OF cattle

Seven hundred and fifty organizations
which market cattle In a cooperative
way now exist In 15 states. -Four
hundred and thirty Of these orgsnlza-
tons are primarily livestock shipping
associations. The greatest activity of
this sort was found in Minnesota
where 2l5 cooperative livestock ship
ping associations are located. The de
partment specialists declare that these
associations bring greater returns to
the farmers because Of the reduction
OF marketing expenses and the realiza'
ton Of the prevailing prices at the cen
I tralized markets, aud that they are also
valuable because of their educational
features.
The system Of centralized uve-stock
markets in the United States is the
I largest single factor In the marketing

this system is peculiar TO the United
I States, no other country having de

but a large proportion Of stocker anc
