filmed ROMANCE
FOR NATIONALS
PATRONS TONIGHT

"Graustark," a tale of medieval
chivalry placed in modern setting,
which years ago was best seller and
brought fame and fortune to George
Barr McCutcheon, makes its initial
appearance in film form this evening
at the National theater. AS all know
who have read the story, It is mar
rative bristling with tense situations
and filled with action. The romantic
interest likewise is deep and thrilling,
offering exceptional opportunity to
the histrionic talent of such stellar
photo-play actors as Francis X. Bush.
man and Beverly Bayne.
In gorgeousness it reminds one OF
that other picture, in the Palace of
the King" recently shown at the
same playhouse. With plots and in.
trigues whirling mysteriously about
the royal court and involving the
leaders of nation, the play has a
fascination that holds the onlooker to
the very end.
I Charlie Chaplin's comic chapter,
Between Showers" also will be
shown this evening, and the Molokai
Tfcubadours, who have proven os
popular, will be heard again. -.

Novel Use For Gunpowder.

Early in the sixties of the last cen tury." writes Rev. Fuller Mills. a Welsh clergyman. "I was a boy behind the counter of what was known as the cOmpany's shop at Abertillery. Among the collier customers who came to the shop was a tall. well developed man known as Dick Stevens or Stephens.
 He was member of the prize ring or the pugilistic fraternity. which was very popular in those days. Dick Stevens was matched to fight Ianto Catcham and was preparing for the fight when he came to the shop for his weekly requirements. He generally asked for an ounce or two of gunpOwder. 1 wondered at this. and my curiosity was aroused.
 'I asked what he used 1t for. His reply was: I mix it with my gravy when have my dinner and swallow it. It prevents the flesh from easily puffing under the hard blows of an op- ponent The cuts and bruises are not so hurtful and heal more easily"

The Gentle Art of Smiling.

A mother had little girl. her first child. who seemed to have been born with a scowl. Perfectly well. still she had a morose disposition which 1t seemed as though nothing could alter When a second child was born the mother made a rule that no one should look at the baby without smile. With the imitation of childhood the baby at once began, even in her early weeks, to smile back, and as she grew, and the rule still held in the home, she de veloped into what every one who knew her called "the smiling baby and grew up with the sunniest disposition. a joy to every one. Now, what that mother did any mother can do. A child may actually inherit a serious. even a sullen disposition, yet these may be crowded out while they are undevel oped by the habit of cheerfulness.- Woman's Home Companion.

HERE'S REAL "WAR CAKE"

Cake made without butter or eggs
sounds like paradox. But the real
question at issue is, can it be done.
and how does it taste?
1t can be done and it tastes like
more, vouches one member of the
home economics department at Iowa
State college, who has been studying
ways and means which the house
wife may use to combat the H. c.. of
l.. She recommends the following
recipe for"war cake:
Materials necessary are 1 of
brown or white sugar, l hot water,
p lard, C raisins, a tsp salt, l
tsp cinnamon, tsp cloves, l tsp soda
and C flour.
Put together all the ingredients
except the soda and -four and bring
to boil. Let boil few minutes AMI
then cool. When luke warm, sift in
flour and soda. Mix we'll. Bake about
an hour in a moderate oven. More
fruit may be used. Meat drippings
may be substituted for lard if they
do not have strong flavor
This makes two and a half pound
loaf cake.

AN IOWA WOLF HUNTER.
Elmer Pullen, of McGregOr, is Get.
ting Lots of Wolves in Vicinity
Fort Atkinson and Calmar.

If you are losing chickens, ducks,
geese. turkeys and pigs and are suS-
pieious that wolves are carrying them
off; if you and your neighbOrs try to
catch the providers red-handed and
fail, and your local hunters try and
don't get nearer to them than their
tracks send for Elmer Pullen of Nc
Gregor.
That is what farmers from all over
northeastern Iowa are doing.
Mr.. Pullen has won fame the last
few years by his success as wolf
hunter and the farmers have turned
to him for help. Last month he
killed eight wolves. Three were
shot near Fort Atkinson and the 9TH
er FIVE in Allamakee and Clayton
counties. The eight wolves brought
a bounty of $50 and the skins sell
for IS to 81 piece. He has two
hounds he has trained himself and
they are probably as good wolf dogs
recently bitten quite badly in the
neck in a fight with wolf.
At present Mr.. Pullen is receiving
almost daily letters from farmers in
viting him to hunt in their different
localities. He expects to answer some
of the calls. There is huge wolf III
the neighborhood Of Calmar which
he and his dogs chased for three
hours and failed to capture. He CX-
poets to go back soon and get hirn.
Later on Mr.. Pullen will trap, rs is
his custom each winter. He is lst
as successful with his traps as with
his gun and dogs. One season re-
Gently he trapped 357 muskrats, ele-
ven mink and two skunks in tw' mtg
one days, selling the skins for $179,
return of abou. $3.50 day for his

MINISTER RESIGNS Passionate.
This Minister Will Don Overalls TO
Get Closer to the Problems OF
Humanity.

The Rev. Allan A. Tanner, a prom
inent figure in Denver religious and
civic life, has resigned as pastor of
the First Congregational church at
Denver Colo.
"The church." he says, "either
must get back on a human plane OF
get out of business"
DR.. Tanner purposes to don over
alls, earn his living with his hands,
by the sweat of his brow, and get
closer to 1.-The problems of human
lity."
THE minister in his pulpit" he
says, "can know little of the prob
lens of the man who tolls in the fac
tory or shop. He cannot understand
him by reading about him in his IL
brary." The Waverly Independent
comments as follows:
That preacher comprehends the
situation correctly. He Isl on the
right track. The church operates
too much on a theological heavenly
plane, and not enough on the earth
ly or human plane. If the church
helps us to be good citizens here on
earth, heaven will be sure-enough
lall right. The average preacher is
too far away from the problems Of
humanity. The preacher can not get
thoroly in sympathy with the people
until he gets close to the problems
(which the people have to solve. And
| II he is not in sympathy with his
people he can do them no good. or
course, the preacher must study
! Theology, but theology alone will not
make a good preacher, and theology
alone will not elevate humanity The
preacher should know as much as
possible about the people whom he
expects to help 70 become better citi-
Izens. He should be in close touch
with the people who can pay only ten
cents week for the support of the
church and help them in every way
possible. If the church can not
bring to the poor ways of pleasant
ness and paths of peace, may be /.
can make their way little better
and easier. Those who can pay
twenty dollars week can take care
or themselves. 1t would be better
for the world if the preachers would
put less stress upon theology and
study to get closer to the problems
of humanity and the problems of the
Estate. The average preachers mean
we'll and they ara doing much gooc,
but they could do much more good
for the cause Of Righteousness if they
would come down frequently and
study the problems of humanity, the
greater part of which are the sci
ence of God. The problems of human
ity are as divine as the problems of
the church.

WARDENS MAKE BIG HAUL
Assistant Game Wardens Make Seven
teen Arrests i'm Bremen, Floyd
and Mitchell Counties.

The way of the transgressor Is
lowly get entangled in the meshes of
the net of the law-and also the
highly-and an unobtrusive local Of
ficer scores notehes in his war club.
Here is the gist of the transaction:
Assistant State Game Warden St.
John had reason to suspect illegal
trapping, fishing and shooting in his
district, particularly in the western
and southwestern part Of it. E. j..
Willis had previously been employed
by Warden st. John as special field
man and has established a record of
efficiency in that line Of gum shoe
work in running to earth offenders
against the state game laws.
Ia two weeks time, working in con-
junction with Deputy Warden Wilson
of Charles City, he has turned into
the school funds of Bremen, Floyd
and Mitchell counties, $1,225.00 in
fines.
This represented seventeen arrests,
(including two bank presidents, one
of whom was fined $4,000, and paid
it,, the confiscation of 800 mink AMI
muskrat furs, 3 seines, l loop. net, 2
guns and numerous spears.
The fur trapping season did not
open until Dec. /, consequently the
counts included trapping out of sea-
son, as we'll as hunting without H.
censes and having seines on the pre-
misses
Search warrants disclosed the con-
traband stuff and the arrests follow
ed. Each fur confiscated represented
a separate count and each count cac-
ried fine of $1,000. This two
weeks work will go long way tow
ard paying Warden st. Johns salary.

AUTOMOBILES.

The automobile is a pop-eyed, me-
chanical quadruped found in almost
all parts of the earth. They are of
various sizes, shapes, and colors, and
feed on oils and gasoline. Some CT
them live to be five years old.
They are largely nocturnal in
their habits, seeming to delight in
tearing over the country by night AMI
leaving a lot of mortuary matter in
their wake. The eyes of an automo-
bile are so bright that when they
look upon a person at night he is alb
solutely blinded. They seem to en-
JOY the annoyance they are able to
lnflict upon people in this way, but
monkey-wrench or two piloted in
ito their face generally breaks them
of this nasty habit.
The speed OF an automobile is un-
known. Lovers OF racing have paid
enormous sums for well-bred cars
and driven them at what they
thought sure would prove to be a
worlds record. Then another car
would whiz by the first one and make
1t feel like hearse in a funeral
procession. No. the speed POSSIBLE
ties of the automobile are not known.
But next to gossip, it is said to BE-
the fastest thing on earth.
