Introduction Of stage stars In mo-
ton pictures.
Many etage stars who have tried
out motion pictures have failed mis-
crafty. Many others have been
grievously disappointed; In some
measure this disappointment Is. due
to the motion picture directors
rather than to the players.
One OF the great stars declares he
will never gc into another picture
after his present contract expires
simply because he believes the idle
ness the film star ,fsces Is a de-
stroyer OF ability. This stor was en-
gaged for year. and in tho ilrst
twcnty-seven weeks of his contract
made exactly one picture.
There Is another side to II, though.

AMBITION is TO MAKE NEW PLAN
OPERATIVE THIS YEAR BY
DISCARDING SACKS.

Spokane, Wn., May T. 19l6-About
300 farmers of the Inland Empire as
sembled in the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce Assembly rooms yesterday,
ana with only five oposing votes decld-
ed TO handle their grain in bulk instead
of sacks.
Committee Recommendations On wheat
Handling.
We believe that a successful system
of handling grain in bulk depends upon
the farmer providing his own storage
on the farm, either by bins, granaries,
or by farm elevators. where grain may
be held until sold.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
the present hat warehouses can be sue
cessfully adapted at comparatively
small expense, to handling grain IN
bulk.
Full assurance has been given by tho
railway officials and terminal ware
houses that they will meet farmers and
interior warehousemen In arranging
for the full handling Of grain in bulk
In answer to the argument that grain
must be sacked for expectation from
the Pacific coast, authentic reports
show that less than 25 per cent OF the
grain from the Northwest Is exported
annually, and the Panama Canal mas
removed the necessity of sacking the
greater part of the small percentage of
the crop that is exported
The grain prices in the wol Ids mar
ket are quoted on bulk basis, there
fore there will be no difference in the
price of bulk grain or sacked gram
when the bulk system prevails
throughout this territory.
Since it is practically the unanimous
opinion of the 200 grain growers at this
convention that a change be made IN
the Inland Empire from sacked grain TO
bulk grain. we therefore urge the nee
essity Of immediate action by. the lndl-
yid1tal farmer and the interior ware
house companies to provide the neces.
sary equipment for handling the 1915
crop in bulk United action on the part
of the farmers is essential to the sue
cess of bulk handling of grain.

OF sliding down into the bottom and

Improper feeding. combined with

OF many failures In turkey raising"
says Professor Lippincott. Given
free range on the average farm. the
poults can generally pick up their
own living. One light feed a day for
the purpose OF inducing them TO come
In at night is sufficient.
'If the mother hen is confined 10 a

run in and out, three times a day is
often enough TO feed and very little
should be given at a time. The poults
should always be ready to eat-if they
are gwen all they will eat several
times a day. indigestion will result.
II there is little or no food outside the
coop for the poults to pick up. they
should be fed five times a day. only
a small quantity at a time.
"A good feed for the first few days

squeezed dry. Corn.bread crumbs

the turkeys can find insects, green

raising them Is small while the profits
are large.

TO GET SERVICE FROM LAMP
Certain Rules for Its Care Must Be
obserVed-Always Fill in
Daytime.

A housewife who has 10 use lamps
n great deal, desires to know what
will keep the wicks from smoking.
II the wick Is soaked in vinegar be-
fore 1t is put in the lamp, and thor.
oughly dried, 1t will not smoke The
bowl of the lamp should be kept full
OF oil; but when the lamp is not In
use, the wick should be turned down
low, TO keep the oil from oozing out
upon the burner.
The common kerosene lamp which
IS used in almost every household
will give a bright, clear light, and 1t
will be a source of comfort to the
family II properly kept. Never use
inferior burners. They are cheaper
at first, but they soon get out of fix,
so the wicks cannot be turned up
or down. and do not give good
light. A clean lamp gives no disa-
greeable odOr when burning.
Lamp chimneys are not liable to
break upon exposure TO changes of
temperature II they are put in a pan
of cold water and allowed to heat
hot. When you wish TO clean the
flues, wash them in suds made by dis
solving cleansing powder in hot water,
rinse In clean, warm water, and wipe
dry with old newspaper. See that the
flues all fit closely. Lamps should
always be filed by daylight; and al
ways put in new wick before the
old one is burned out.
