| civilized young person, the beneficiary,
through her marriage with Rodney, of
a piece Of unmerited good fortune.
When she got Florence McCrea' s
answer to her letter, she took the
first occasion to get Rodney off by
himself and talk little common
sense into him.
"What about where to live, Rod
ney?" she asked. shade up your
mind about it yet? 1t is time someone
with a little common sense straight
ened you out about this"
Harriet couldn't be sure from the
length Of time he took seeing that
his pipe was properly lighted. wheth-
er he altogether liked this method Of
approach or not.
Common sense always was a sort
Of speciality of yours, Sis" he said at
last, "and Strengthening out. You
were always pretty good at it." Then

swell, in the first place." she said,
''if you had your house today you'd be
lucky If the paint was dry and the
thing was fit to move into by the first
of September"
"But we've got to get out Of here,
anyway, in October. And that means
we've got to have some sort of place
to get into. 1t Is an awkward time,
I'll admit"
"No, you haven't" she said. "You
can stay right here another six
months, If you like. I've heard from
Florence. When / found how things
stood here, wrote and asked her If
she'd lease for six months more If
she got the chance, and she wrote back
and simply grabbed at it."
Rodney smoked half way through
his pipe before he made any comment
on this suggestion. "This house isn't
just what we want" he said. "In the
first place, it's expensive"
Harriet shrugged her shoulders,
picked up one Of Florence's poetry
books and eyed the heavily fooled bind
ing with a satirical smile before she
replied.
"Td an idea there was that in It,"
she said at last. FREDDY said some
thing. Rose had been talking
to her." Then, after another little
silence and with a sudden access Of
vehemence: "You don't want to go
and do regular fool thing, Roddy.
You're getting on perfectly splendid
ly. But If you pull up and go to live in
barn somewhere and stop seeing any
body-people that count, mean"
Rodney grunted. you're beyond
your depth, Sis" he said. "Come back
where you don't have to swim. The
expense isn't a capital consideration.
I'll admit that. Now go on from
there"
THAT'S like old times" she OBJ
served with a not ill-humored grim
ace. II wonder IL you talk to Rose
like that. Oh, know the house is
rather solemn and absurd. It's Flor
ence herself all over, that's the size
of II. But what does that matter for
six months morer

MuddIed.

The day was drawing to close.
Judge, jurors, witnesses and lawyers
all were growing weary. Counsel
for the prosecution was cross-exam-
lining the defendant.
Exactly how far is 1t between the
two towns?" he asked at length.
For some time the man stood think

"About four miles as the cry flows"
came the answer.
"You mean as the flow cries!" re-
torted the man of law.
The judge leaned forward.
NO" he remarked, suavely; she
means as the fly crows"
And they all looked at one another,
feeling that something was wrong
somewhere.

The Point.

Former Premier Rene Viviani Of the
French commission impressed the
country with his eloquence.
They tell story of M. Viviani's
youth. He had accepted an invitation
to address a political meeting and he
launched into his maiden speech with
trepidation. But he carried all before
him, and, when he purposed to sit
down, there were loud cries Of:
go on Keep her up! Go onw
"Do you really wish me to go on?"
said NJ. Viviani.
Eyes Yes Go on! Go on ~ shout
ed the audience.
"Then this is the exact point" said
M. Viviani, "where a capable speaker
sits down."
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1917-07-13
Quite So.

A learned counsel on the defend
ants side lost his temper, as well as
his case, and remarked rudely to the
opposing lawyer: "Why do you so
often use the word also and like
wiser They both mean exactly the
same, as far as l can see."
"By no means" said the other. "Pll
show you the difference by example.
Our learned friend, the judge, is
clever lawyer; you are lawyer, also,
but not likewise"

John Barrymore star al NeIsoH'
John Barrymore, who made his first
appearance in motion pictures through
the medium of the Famous Players pro-
Guction OF IAN American Citizen" a
film comedy that recorded a sensa-
tional success in motion picture circles,
now returns to the Famous Players
program in H. A. Du Souchet's famous
comedy success, THE Man From Mex
Ico." Mr.. Barrymore depicts the char
acter of Fit2hew, the gay young mar
ried man who still lorgs for the cab
Rrets and other delights of his bacbe-
lor days, and thereby gets himself into
dreadful dilemmas from which he ex-
tricates himself only by the most won
derful inventions possible to even an
untruthful man. All the delicious hui
NOR of Mr.. Barrymore's delightful per-
sonality is at its best in his portrayal
Of the light.hearted and light-headed,
bibulous Fltzhew, whose mythical ad
ventures in Mexico the comedy SO
laughably unfolds.
His return home at the end of thirty
days in Mexican costume, with hand
book of the Spanish language; his get
ting into more tangles, and cleverly
getting out again; and his hoodwinkng
Clementina to the end, furnish the fun
NEST finish to one Of the funniest
farces ever written.

Princess program today, has only
recently completely recovered from
shock of a moving picture stunt that
was perpetrated against her more than
two years ago. The story illustrates
how differently they do things in these
days when they want TO make the NOV
les move. Miss Saunders scenario
called for the heroine to be placed
alive In a trunk and thrown into the
sea. In these days the villain would
be shown forcing Jackie into the trunk.
Then there would be cut to some 9TH
er scene OF concurrent action, allowing
the girl time to get out Of the trunk,
then cut back to the closed but empty
trunk and the villain throwing 1t into
the sea. Not so in those days. The
camera ground steadily away while
Jackie was forced into the trunk,
which was locked and strapped and
pushed off the pier into a sea not any
too calm. The fall itself was twelve
feet and the trunk wasn't water.tight.
The boat hooks missed the floating
trunk several times, SO that 1t was
several minutes before the smothering,
half.dazed girl was released. And this

HORSES AND MULES TO BE
 IN GREAT DEMAND

In mobilizing for food to win the war sight must not be lost of the need of horses and mules for the army. There is every indication that the high prices for horses and mules will con- tinue beyond the war and the man who breeds for that demand now will be the gainer.
 It is estimated that the United States army must purchase not less than 350,0O0 horses and mules within the next six months to equip the army that it is proposed to raise within the year. In addition to this demand the allies have never ceased their buying. A total of S53,116 horses and 289,062 mules have been shipped out.
 Not only have England and France and Italy bought all the horses and mules they could spare ships to trans port, but England and France have purchased every available farm tract or in America. War has taken ter rible toll of horseflesh, and in spite of tanks and lorries and trucks and tractors and motor cars, the horse is still needed and has a very definite place in war and peace.
 The American farmer who special izes in heavy mares capable of pro- ducing a sizable mule or good drafter has every reason to expect good pro- fits from his colts.
