Don't Like U. S. lnspection.-Fed,
eral inspection of wheat, which has
been in effect in Kansas since July l,
is causing losses to farmers in Doug
las county. The reason is that the fed.
eral government requires that cracked
wheat, wheat slightly moist and wheat
slightly mixed with other grain OF
weeds be sold at a lower figure. Ac'
cording to ]. p. Chess, local govern
ment inspector, there is less wheat
coming into the mills at Lawrence
than at any previous time in many
years. This is due both to the un
usually small crop and the fact that
many farmers are holding their grain

MOVIE THEATRE ATTRACTIONS
 GENERAL FlLMpoM NEWS

Nance O'Neil, great favorite in Juneau, appeared last night in "The Iron Woman, a play that will make the average man and woman sit up and take notice. The acting of Miss O'Neil and her ex- cellent company throughout is tense and critical. The play is a decided treat and promises to be one of the big offerings from a patronage standpoint seen here for some time. The screen version is taken from the well known novel and MT. Harbaugh, the writer of the scenario, has caught the spirit of the authoress and has made most remarkable picturizaticn. The old-fashioned home and the old fashioned clothes worn by "The Iron Woman" are among some of the artistic touches and the various thrilling scenes are well worked up. Alfred Hickman, husband of Miss O'Neil, is strong in his part. ''The Iron Woman runs for the re- maiHder of this week.

Mary Pickford dt the Dre0nl.

Though Mary Pickford has won her greatest successes in pathetic and comic roles, her wonderful versatility and interpretation of Peppina in the spectacular and thrilling story, Poor Little Pep pima" proves her to be equal to the most exacting of heroic parts Miss Pickford creates a character new to her admirers-an American girl who has been stolen by Italians when a mere baby and brought up as one of their own children. Her native tongue and all thought of her real parentage totally obliter- ated, she is to all intents and pur- poses a real Italian girl. Most of the action is taken by Miss Pick ford when playing as a little mes senger boy" It is during one of these times in a delirium, hay ing been injured, that she murmtrs a name which starts the investiga- tion ending satisfactorily to her. Mary Pickford will be at the Dream for the balance of this week.

McGraw Says Here Is Greatest SouthpaW.

Take a squint at the 1916 rec ord of one Ferdinand Schupp, and then you'll know why John McGraw says:
 He's the greatest southpaw of all time.
 Ferdie, ol' boy, figured in 50 games last season-and allowed less than one earned run per combat. Schupp pitched total of 140 in- nings, won nine pitched games and lost three, and scored four shutout victories The most striking fea- ture of those whitewashing jobs is that they were accomplished at the fag end of the 1916 season, when the pennant battling was fiercest.
 In those 140 innings, 151s com plete struggles. Schupp yielded only 14 earned run tallies. 79 hits. about two bases on balls per game. and famed 76 clubbers.

Giants Kid Pitcher Is a Dandy.

A0 0oAuys
 Perhaps the most remarkable youni athlete in baseball is young Waite Hoyt, the 17-year-old lad from Brooklyn who pitcher full nine-inning game for the Giants the other day and let Dallas down with four hits. With the excep- tion of John McGraw himself, Waite is the youngest player ever signed to big league contract. McGraw also broke in at the age of IF and, according to Wilbert Robinson, was about the size of a 5-cent bag of peanuts when he joined the Baltimore Orioles. He weighed 140 pounds.
 On account of the extreme youth of Hoyt, McGraw has decided to place him at Memphis for a year that he may he more thoroughly seasoned before stacking his art against the brains of big leaguers. At Memphis the boy will be under the management of Mike Donlin, and that means that he will not be neglected.
 The thing about young Hoyt that appeals to McGraw strongly nis that he was wise enough to see the advantage of a year in the minor league and cheerfully accept ed the transfer to Memphis. Mo- Graw declared him to be one of the most sensible lads that he has ever known in baseball. N
