DAVIS THEATRE.
New Show Today-Three Big Keith Acts and Triangle Photo Plays.

There will be an entirely new show at the Davis today and the show booked for the last half of the week promises to be better than anything ever seen at the theatre. The feature attraction Is the Melody Four, a male quartette that is ranked as one of the best singing acts in vaudeville. An other good act is Nathano Brothers, who present a novel skating offering that Is real sensation, besides the skating they do some remarkable acrobatio stunts. The third act is Barnard. Finnerty and Carmente11o, in novelty sketch The Variety Trio. This is also big time Keith attraction and Is sure to be g. big hit with the patrons of this theatre.
 The Triangle feature on the bill is the ever popular Douglas F'airh>nks in the five part picture American Aristocracy Most of the scenes were taken at Watch Hill, R. l.. last summer at the Ocean house and the Watch Hill house which was later destroyed by fire. Many local people were used in the big scene and this is the only picture that can boast of staff of super nnmeraries whose aggregate wealth totaled several million dollars. The film is full of "pep" and ginger from beginning to end. To complete the show Charles Murray will be seen in His Hereafter. a lively two reel Key stone company comedy, that Is shown just for laughing purposes.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

An unusual theme, carried forward with gripping interest and f1ec1led with continual surprise to the very end, forms the basis of the B1uebird Photo play now showing at the Auditorium, with J. Warren Kerrigan and Louise Lovely heading 8 company of careful selection. The Social Buccaneer Is the title, and the five act play is drawn from Frederic S. Isham's 'best sell err of the same title. The distribu- tion of wealth under personally con- ducted tours among wealthy society people is the core of the narrative; the ancient days when Robin Hood robbed the rich to benefit the poor are recalled. Every time Chattf1eld Bruce attended a reception or dinner party a valuable piece of jewe1ry was very apt to depart when he did. Con verting the treasure into money Bruce would distribute it among the poor, or found sick wards or hospital beds where the needy might be cared for. Hor far Bruce went, what happened during his operations and how beau tiful girl made him shake offff his social buccaneering made an excellent printed narrative and g. vastly better photoplay
 Other pictures are Grant the Po- lice Reported, and two very funny cartoon comedies.

AMERICANS BUILDING
 RAILROADS IN CHINA
Agreement Between Chinese Govern
 ment and American Contractors.

Picking, Dec 19-Work will besin at once upon the railway which the American International Corporation is to finance in Human and Kwangsi provinces. Through an agreement be- tween the Chinese government and the American contractors a route origi- nally agreed upon for this line is to will start from Chuchow in Human province. Chuchow is the southern terminus of a railway which now ex- tends south from Chang sha, the capi- tai Of Human province. The line to be built by Americans will extend south, through Hengchowfu. and from that point will run southwest to KWei- lin, then southwest to Manning on the West river. A spur of the railroad will extend to Yanchow. in Kwang- tung province, a port of considerable commercial importance on the Gulf of Tongking.
 The extension of this railway to the sea makes it of far greater import ance than the original line which was to have Manning as it's terminus.
 At Chuchow the railway will con- meet with an important line the Eng fish have partially constructed towards the east, which will eventually be ex- tended to Ranking. The British line taps very rich mineral section, and the line which the Americans are to build also runs through territory in Human province which is heavily min eralized In Kwangsi province the new line will traverse a. very rich agricuI- tural country giving railway connec- tion to many important districts which are now served chiefly by water trans portation on small streams incapable of accommodating steam craft
 The proposed line will form a link in an all rail route from Picking di- rectly south to the sea by way of Han kow.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEATRE.
"In The Diplomatic Service" Story of Romance and Mystery Produced Under the Direction of Francis X. Bushrnan Feature For Today.

"The Diplomatic Service" with Francis x. Bushman and Beverly Bayne the crowned king and queen of motion pictures in the stellar roles Is the feature at the Breed theatre to- day.
 This is a Metro wonderplay, in five gripping parts, and it was produced under the personal direction of MT. Bushman. As a result, admirers of MT. Bushrnan are afforded the rare oppor- tunity of seeing this star in a produc- tion that represents his own ideas and ideals.
 MT. Bushman also made the screen adaptation from a short story, so 1t can really be called a Bushman fea- ture in every particular.
 The tenth chapter of the Crimson Stain Mystery completes the bill for today.
 On Friday and Saturday the Breed will present Mae Murray, tke beautiful LaslSy star in The Dream Girl, a thrilling whimsical story written es- pecially for the Paramount programme by Jamie MacPherson, the brilliant photodramfst, and produced under the personal direction of Cecil B. De- Mile. The photography in this pro- duction is out of the ordinary and the sntire photodrama is one of universal appeal. The Breed will also present the Pathe Weekly and Bud Fishers s animated cartoon of Mutt and Jeff, en- titled A Day fin Camp. All children attending performances on either Fri day or Saturday will receive a cut out of these two comedians. On Satur- day there will be a special children's matirJee starting at 130, the regular matinee starting at the usual time.
 On Christmas day the Breed will have a continuous show from 1 p. m. to II D. m. and a special bill will be presented on this day. the feature of which will be Under Cover, five part Paramount production starring Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore.

New Electrical Exports Record.

Exports of electrical merchandise manufactured in the United States amounted during September last to b3,491. PIT, in comparison with $2,262,- 291 in September, 1915, it is reported In the Electrical World. September thus stands next to August as the largest electrical export month on record so far as total value is con- :erned. Outside of insulated wire and cable and of miscellaneous merchan- aise, however, the September figures were but afew dollars greater than those for September, 1915. In both insulated wire and cable and mis- ,ellaneous supplies the September es- ports were record breaking.
 Prior to September, exports of in sulated wire and cable had never cached the half-million mark. The September figures were $518,946. Mis- sellaneous merchandise was exported turing September to the value of $1,- D24,29 or over $1,000,000 more than turing September, 1915.
 For the first nine months of the current year the exports of electrical yOods were $27, ,O19,S4O, as compared with $17,239,950 during the cores bonding period of 1915. Based, how ,ver, on these figures, the 1916 cleo rical exports should reach total of ,ver s36,0O0.0Oe.

Anchor Your Farm.

The Federal Geological Survey is authority for the statement that an average of ninety five tons of soil and loose rock are washed into the ocean every year from every square mile of territory in the United States. The stupendous amount of land washed away may be realized when 1t is taken into consideration that there are over 3,000,000 square miles of land in thls country. This loss to the American farmer is gigantic, as it is obvious that the soil carried away is top soil the richest in plantfood and humus.
