NORTHERN FARMER IN SOUTH

erners In the south. As examples are convincing, that of one young man with a vision might be cited Matthew B. Parkhurst, son of a clergyman known to many persons in this city. the Rev. M. M Parkhurst, after having gradu- ated from'the Univermty of Illinois with the degree of bachelor of science, few years ago carried his knowledge of chem istry and theoretical and practical agrf- culture into the heart of Alabama, near Greensboro, where he is blazing a trail that many already are following He has wholly escheWed the raising of cot ton, and, with steers and pigs fattening for the market, corn and hay held for the best prices, and, of course, vege- tables. turkeys, chickens and other fowl. his plantation has many of the aspects of large farm in the north.
 The shrewd northerner may do well in the south today. It is not his thought to live from hand to mouth, and he need not there. The young experimenter re- ferred to holds his hay. of which he grows more than one variety, until the best prices may be had for it, whereas, unfortunately, many natives must sell theirs as soon as IL IS harvested. Ills science is a most gracious helprneet, en- abling him to dispose of his best selected seed corn at $S bushel In all its de- partments his farm is yielding itself to the profitable administration of theory and sound practice. There are today such pioneers scattered throughout the south. but there is room for many more, who may, besides reaping rich rewards from their own well-directed efforts. show themselves, by precept and example. tho most neighborly of neighbors

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS
AN ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do
actresses, and naturally no class
must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
among them develops the infor-
nation that in hair care they find
it dangerous to shampoo with any
makeshift hair cleanser. Instead
they have studied to find the fin
est preparation made for sham
pooling and bringing out the beau
ty of the hair. The majority Of
them say that to enjoy the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator
that is known, get a package Of
canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water and your shampoo Is
ready. It costs less than three
cents for this amount. After it's
use the hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff. excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear. Your hair will
be SO fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you.
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.

MOVIES
COMING
BLOCKED

A new and unexpected obstacle
arose Thursday to prevent the big
film feature, THE Birth Of a Ma
tion." from being exhibited at the
Tacoma theater starting next sun
day.
The theater's license for oper-
ating motion picture exhibitions
expires on Wednesday. and when
agents of the playhouse appeared
at the city hall Thursday they
were told that Commissioner Pet
tit had forbidden the issuance OF
another license.
"A license at this time would
be solely for exhibiting The Birth
of Nation, and since | have al
ready ruled that the picture is a
violation of the censorship ordi-
nance, l cannot issue a license for
something which is considered IL
legal" explained Petit.
1t was intimated Thursday that
the company handling the movie
spectacle would ask for a re-
straining order before Friday
night. prohibiting the police from
interfering with the exhibition Of
the film, on grounds that the play
does not arouse race prejudice.
In such case, one of the judges
of the superior court will be ask
ed to view the film, and decide
whether or not It is dangerous to
exhibit.

Seattle
Dock Is
Bombed

SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-Only a
few hours after an incendiary at
tempt on pier last night,
bomb, placed under the floor Of
pier d, the Pacific Coast Co.
wharf, blew 10-foot hole
through the pier floor and wreck
ed a small shack in which strike
breakers had been sleeping.
Police are combing the water
front today for suspects. -
The men were awakened by
special policemen after the flse
OF the bomb had been lighted, and
dashed out of the place lust in
time to save their lives.
Three pier buildings we're
shaken by the force of the explo-
sion. -
When the smoke was first no
ticed fire alarm was turned in
and fire fighters arrived soon
after the explosion, quickly ex-
tinguishing the blaze.
The police could find no trace
of providers. It is their theory
that the bomb planter approached
the dock from a boat and worked
from the water side. i
The bomb apparently was plac-
ed under the wharf floor.
Ten minutes after the first ex-
plosion there was milder re-
port. Police traced this to a spot
near the first and found pot
of phosphorus.
Police had received word Tues
day that some sort of Violence
would be attempted that night
and the waterfront guard had
been doubled.
The total damage is little more
than 500.

The Name Cuba.

Cuba is the name by which the Ia.
land was originally known TO the Lu-
cayan Indians. who were with Col,ipl-
bus when he discovered 1t. One of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan, and it il reported that
from the similarity of sounds Colum-
bus, still supposing himself to be on
the coast Of Asia, imagined that this
must be city Of Kublai Khan, the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name for Cuba is remarkable in
stance of persistence, as the island has
been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana IN honor
OF Prince John, the son of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After FsrdiE1nd's death
1t was called in his merAory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James.
the patron saint OF Spain. Still later
it was named Ave Maria in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none of these
names held, and the Indian name is
still preserved.
