whether its results is in consonance
with the expression of the principles
OF the regulations that is found in
the rulings of this Office and the de-
etsions of local boards in simila
cases throughout the country Where
such is not the case. the decision
should be reversed or modified, to the
end that the Seleetive-S Service Law
may be applied with even justice

Over and above the interest of the
Government as such there is a sub

registered person and, indeed every
member Of the community, has real
interest in each exemption or disr
charge granted by "A local board.
Registered men have placed them
selves at the disposition of their
country. Since the obligation and
duty of all was equal, the order in
which these men are to be called
had to be determined by lot. Once
that order is determined each man
has an interest in its maintenance.

GREATEST film OF
GRIFFITH OFFERED
Weaver Theatre Will Show
Attraction that has made
Enormous Hit in Big
Cities of United States.

intolerance, latest and greatest
production by the master of masters,
David Wark Griffith, will be the at
traction at the Weaver Theatre Au-
gust 21st,
This mammoth drama is the big
gest and most startling picture ever
offered to the public and 1t even
might be called the biggest achieve
nent ever presented in any theatrical
line
Griffith spent three years making
this masterpiece and probably three
more turning over its ideas in his
mind before attempting It,
The underlying idea of the produc-
ion is to drive home the fact that in
tolerance is the greatest of the
worlds evils. Griffith has recourse
% the picturization of four parallel
stories, one ancient, one sacred one
medieval and one modern. These
themes have little in common save for
the one underlying idea of the wick
edness of intolerance
Instead OF relating these four
tories in historical sequence he
treats first one then another, then one
md then another; developing each
to certain climax, then switching
o the next developing that to a point
Of equal force. then concentrating
his efforts on the next.
Following this method of proce-
lure he comes to the closing reels
With four climaxes of equal power on
his hands, and the intensity of each
Individual denouement is multiplied
hreefold by the parallel themes.
OF the four stories the Babylonian
period is the most thrilling, that of
he birth of Christianity the most i'm
lYessive that of the massacres OF
France the most tragic and that of
he present time the most humanity
interesting
One prominent Eastern critic said
If the play.
IF Griffith expected to knock
heir eye out, he did. Intolerance
anded with bang that rocked
Broadway, and II will keep 1t rocking
or many months.
"Stupehdous, tremendous. reyolu-
ionary, intense. thrilling, and then |
'ou can throw the old typewriter
way and give up with the dictionary, |
ecause you can't find adjectives

DRAFT HORSES IN DEMAND.
Thirty-Six Head Sold at Cedar Falls
at Average Price of $3.50.

Cedar Falls, March 26,--Ameri-
can draft horse breeders are pros
porous. The demand for draft hog-
ses continues strong despite THE mo-
tor truck and gas tractor.
These facts were evidenced when
James Loonan & Son seat thirty-six
head Of registered Percherons at
public auction here this week at an
average price Of $500, with the
herd stallion selling for 1880. The
sale totaled $s2,6SO and every buyer
except one paid cash for his pur.
chases.
The average, $630, is a record fol
this locality. Last years Percheror
sale averaged $440.
Hundreds of big horse breeders
land importers were here from thirty
six states and from Canada, altht
snow blockades probably kept many

BATTLES WITH WOLF.
Rural Mail Carrier Out of Ida Grove
Has Desperate Encounter With
Animal-Finishes Beast
With Neck Yoke,

Ida Grove, March 26.-Harry
Conard, veteran rural mail route
carrier out of this city, had desper.
ate encounter with large female
wolf last Saturday, within a mile OF
the city limits. He discovered the
wolf as he drew up over a hill and
also saw that she had been caught
in steel trap, the chain having
been fastened to a post.
The animal had passed thru the
barbed wire fence and had shortened
the chain length until it had but very
little chance to move, and being
without a weapon of any kind Cor
ard took the neck yoke from his
buggy to use as a weapon. He
struck the wolf once and she became
unfastened from the fence and
sprang at her assailant, her claws
tearing a big hole in Corard's cloth
ing. <yIxI
Uncle Sans mail carrier, howev-
err, Was scrapper, and swinging
another blow, he succeeded in stun
ming the wolf and quickly finished
her after that. The wolf measured
six feet, four inches in length and
stood almost three feet high and
would have farrowed nine whelps in
a short time.

MANY FREAK BILLS IN IOWA
ASSEMBLY.
Even Poor LO the Indian Was Nor
Overlooked and He is to be
Regulated.

! VI the 100 bills filed in the low;
general assembly at the present SEES
sion, there are more than the usua
number Of oddities.
most of the freak bills are due I,
De killed in either the house or tn.
senate, but some of them will pe,
through and become laws.
Some of the Odd Ones.
Among the odd bills on file arc
the following:
prohibiting book agents in school
houses from 9 a. m. to 4 D. m.
Requiring fee of 81 for filing ev-
cry bill in the general assembly.
Requiring one-half of the hun
ters' license fee to be returned to
the county to pay for the damage to
domestic animals done by hunters.
Bill to repeal the anti-tipping bill
Prohibiting lawyers in other
states from ambulance chasing" in
Iowa. B.
Railroad commission to insneo,
electric meters.
Defining bank "stick UPS"
Forbidding larceny of water or
gas,
Making it unlawful to use ferrets
in catching rabbits.
Requiring all farmers to fence
their lands.
Prohibiting the farming out of
tipping privileges.
Requiring an apology from news
papers for publication of a picture
which does not do justice 10 the sub
ject pictured.
Forbidding making brooms in the
pepitentiary.
Requiring automatic locks on
doors Of buildings.
Classifying mourning doves as
game birds.
Authority to executive council to
buy illuminated automatic plates.
Repeal of law prohibiting docking
of horses tails.
Prohibiting issuance Of hunters IL
cense to person under IS years of
age.
Requiring installation of shower
baths in foundries.
Exempt pianos from taxation.
The index OF bills presents many
odd features. Under the heading of
bees, is found a bill establishing
an Office of state apiarist, and the
only other bill on bees would abol-
ish the office of state bee inspector.
Under the heading of the Sabbath
is one bill increasing the penalty
for violation of the blue laws to
800. The only other bill on the
subject is one repeating the blue
laws. - '..tsi. ~
That Iowa has any Indians is not
often recalled. There is one bill on
file affecting the rights of the Iowa
Indians. 1t requires the indians to
be married by the Indian agent, as
well as by tribal ceremony. This is
TO prevent an Indian from deserving
his squaw when he gets tired of her,
on the ground that the tribal cere-
mony is not binding.
A number Of the bills listed
above are not so odd in themselves,
as the fact that condition exists in
Iowa which would require such leg
islation.
