18th Anniversary of
Army Mobilization

Lieutenant colonel Frederick ID. Evans,
adjutant for the Brownsville district, re-
calls that today is the fourth anniversary
of the mobilization of the United States
army for border service following the muir
der of President Francisco Madero of
Mexico.
Colonel Evans, then stationed at Oma-
ha, said that q severe blizzard had de-
stroyed practically all wire communica-
ton to Omaha, and the only message re-
ceived that night was an Associated Prerss
dispatch announcing the order for the
troops To move. ait
The troops prepared to move and event
ually moved, Colonel Evans said. without
an order direct from the war department
and on the strength Of the Associated
Press dispatch to the Omaha Bee. I'VE
knew the Associated Press dispatch was
accurate Colonel Evans said. "Our first
official knowledge was an order about
equipment, but what We were interested in
was in knowing where We were going"

"Polly Put the Kettle On" showing at
the Dreamland theatre today, is the first
Red Feather film directed by Douglas Ger
rard, the celebrated screen actor who has
been producing short pictures for the Uni
versal program for months.
The story was written by Grace Helen
Bailey, inc adapted for the screen by Eliz-
abeth c.. Hendrix. Mr.. Gerard has used
a very novel means of introducing the
characters. First we see the flash Of the
old nursery song, "Polly Put the Kettle
On" Then Ruth Clifford as "Polly' en-
tiers and puts the kettle on the fire and lit
tie Zoe Rae a. "Susie" steals in and takes
it of again. After that the whale east APP
pears in a huge kettle: and al the end, when
Polly and Chester (Mr. Gerrard's role)
have overcome all the obstacles i'm their
path and are happily united, they appear
again in the kettle, waving good bye To
Us and wishing u a Happy New Year.
This story, which i one of real human in
|%terest, opens "a follows:
Good, pretty and dutiful Polly Vance i,
quite at a loss 10 know where the next
days food l. to come from. Here are the
children screaming, "Polly, put the ket-
tie on" but looking into the canister, she
finds only a few tea leaves. The kids
dis appointment j. keenest when they find
the jar quite empty of any trace of jam.
Polly, though only eighteen, has been moth
ering these children long enough to in
~fluence them into believing that they have
had quite enough to eat. So they bounce
away from the meager meal and romp
about their beloved sister.

the president from the White House to

feet from him when he takes the oath Of

be erected in the eastern corner of the

riding down Pennsylvania avenue with
President Taft and by going sa far as the
door of the senate chamber where the

ROSES SET IN POTATOES

How many lovers OF roses ever tried
the plaa OF setting cuttings In pota,
toes1 The success Of the idea Is
youehed for by several able culturists.
The idea Is to take cuttings from the
tate blooming wood and make the po-
tatoes supply both the food and the
moisture for the winter roofing.
The potato Is first pierced with a
steel crochet needle or a wooden meat
skewer Then the cutting Is run all
tho way through the potato. Several
cuttings are placed in one potato. The
potato Is then soaked In water over
night and planted in u protected place
near fence or wall
preserve jar is used to cover the
cutting. with weight ON top to keep
u from blowing over aud, at the same
time, to prevent sunburu. The cut.
tnES are left until spring when Il will
be found that In nearly every case they
taye rooted.

Silver Moon is one Of the prolific
roses. II has pretty white flower,
served with enough rich green back
ground to make delightful contrast.

lists.

Nearly ALE the new styles are rather
plain, with plalts featured in skirts
and the bodice wholly or In part made
of white cotton material.
For girl of eleven years or so this
combination of materials has been
handed with excellent taste In the

lin or any of the moderately heavy

the striped material, and the white In
the bodice might be of thinner goods,
as India linen or percale or batiste.

standpoint of fashionableness one
thing Is not better than another.
No one knows just why this state
Of things has come about, but 1t may
be because no such attention has been
given to sports suits and one-plece
trocks that the tailor suit has been
somewhat neglected by costumers.
They refuse to make predictions, and
women are left the joyful liberty of
choosing whatever style is most becom-
ing.
Plain goods are always worn. and
checks In very pretty color cOmblna-
