ALASKAN CROPS IN
 1915 WERE ABuND DANT
Were Grown Under the Most Favora-
 bIe Conditions sor Years.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Alaskan crops in 1915 were grown under the most favorable season for years, according to the annual report of the four Alas kan agricultural experiment stations just published by the department of agriculture. Grain ripened and ma tured early and vegetables and ber- ries produced abundant crops.
 ~ Excellent results were reported in the development of a hybrid straw berry combining the hardy character istics of the native stock and the quail states Most of the hybrid5 were de- veloped at the Sitka station in south eastern Alaska where agricultural ex- perts, predict a still better berry be- fore long. Certain varieties of apples have been grown in the coast country and what is believed to be the first reported from Rampart station, 75 miles south of the Arctic circle.
 Many new and early varieties of grain have been produced in Alaska. Work has been continued in breeding strains of alfalfa better adapted to Alaskan conditions.
 Sheep, the reports declare, will do well on Kodiak Island and the coast region. In normal winters the animals could maintain themselves with little feed, it is declared For the develop ment of a satisfactory beef animal it is recommended that yaks be import ed from Asia for crossing with hardy cattle. Horse breeding also is rec commended for Alaska.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEATRE
Four Shows Today-1.3o, 3, 7 and $50 Continuous Performance Christ mas Day, From 1 to ii p. m.

The Breed is presenting an excep- tionaly fine program of feature pho toplays today, the feature of which is Mae Murray in The Dream Girl, a five part Paramount production. This is a thrilling whimsical story, written especially for Miss Murray by Jamie MacPherson, and in it Miss Murray surpasses any of her previous tri- umphs.
 The Pathe Weekly and Bud Fish CTS cartoon of Mutt and Jeff entitled A Day in Camp completes the bill for today. There will be four shows to- day, at 1.30, 3, T. and S.30, and cut outs of Mutt and Jeff will be given to all children at all performances to- day.
 On Monday and Tuesday the Breed will present Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore in picturization of Under Cover, the great drama. which scored an unprecedented success at the Cort theatre in New York city. This is an ideal vehicle for the first appear ance of Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore as co-stars.
 There were two great reasons for the tremendous success of Under Cover on the stage-the fact that it was play of ceaseless action and that it was one of the first plays ever written which centered around the United States customs. These same two factors apply with even more force to the importance of the story as 8 screen production. It makes no difference how great a success a play may score on the stage if that suc- cess is not based upon the amount of action in the story. for it cannot make a good photoplay if the chief point of interest lies in the cleverness of the lines.
 The action of Under Cover opens in Paris, Is continued on an Atlantic liner, is picked up at the pier and then is transferred to a magnificent Long Island country estate. The story centers around Ethel Cartwright, delightful young American society girl, Stephen Denby, a mysterious American with no visible means of support but a great deal of the sup portland a $200,000 necklace which the customs officials are extremely de- sirous of intercepting in it's Journey from Paris to New York.
 The rest of the action, which is thrilling almost to the point of be- wilderment in the swiftness of the turn of affairs in the battle between the girl and the man whom she learns to love. transpires at the beautiful Harrington home on Long Island.
 The Breed will also present the Pathe Weekly and a roaring comedy entitled Whats in a Name, completes the bill for Monday and Tuesday. On Monday. Christmas day. the Breed will have a continuous performance from l to II D. m.

Then there is an exceptional fine bill of photoplayS, the headline attraction is the always popular favorite Douglas Fairbanks, in American Aristocracy, a five reel picture taken not so very far from Norwich, (Watch Hill, R. I.) and the energetic Doug. never was seen to better advantage than he is in this picture. The Ocean House and the Old Watch Hill House which was later destroyed by fire are in numerous scenes, and that the picture has caus- ed a lot of local interest has been shown by the crowds that have turned out at every performance to see it. To complete the show there is a funny two reel Keystone comedy called His Hereafter and Charles Murray is the star. Don't forget there are four shows today at 1:S0. 3:15, 6:45, 8:45.

And every love that heaven has caught From eaTth's unkindly shore, Again to us in fancy comes, To bless us, as of yore. And when by earthly cares recalled We put our dreams away How worthless seems the dross of
