my appeal to watch over my father in

that the one thing he desired to do on

brusque, his utterance staccato. Then
as the realization of what I had said
came to him, he frowned a. quick ne

There was a note of command in
his voice which 1 resented.

II must have misunderstood you, DR..

toward me, and I had a queer sort of
impression that the man had changed
in a moment from flesh and blood to
a bundle of steel wires. II said must
not and 1 meant it. Sit down.
The command rang out like that Of

why I obeyed it. Perhaps because I
hoped that our distance from the
nearest diners made it impossible for
them to hear the words, and because
there was something more than stern
command in the eyes that looked into
mine. His face was that of Cru

A neighbor Of mine was invited to
spend a weekend with some cousins
who live about forty miles away.
Some mutual cousins who own an
automobile were also invited.
They communicated with my
neighbor who had planned to go by
train, and graciously asked her to
20 in their machine. The day be-
forehand they called up again and
told her to be at certain point at
half past nine.
For my neighbor to go to that
point by electric takes half an hour
and requires a change of cars. For
the people with the machine to call
at her home would have taken them
perhaps ten minutes out of their way.
And They Waited An Hour and Ten
Minutes.
The next day dawned with a howl
ing rainstorm. the kind that laughs
derisively at umbrellas. My neigh
Dor and her husband had to carry
besides their umbrellas and valise,
the inevitable extra wraps which
one does not need on a trolley but
does need for long machine ride.
To be sure of being on time they
took an early car and arrived ten
minutes early. And they waited an
hour and fifteen minutes, wet and
uncomfortable. When the autolsts
finally arrived they explained with
no great concern that they had had
fiat tire.
Now, to be sure. they could not
have helped that. but on the other
hand If their guests had been ten
minutes late on account of a delayed
electric 1 think there would have
been some fireworks.
And as to the matter of not calling
for them, that seems to me the
tackiest kind of performance. And
yet get great many automobiles in
vitations are given in just that grace

many times when 1t would be just al

EVELYN NESBIT THAW
AT FOX'S SUNDAY

The story of Redemption" or
strictly speaking the foundation upon
which the story is. based is taken
from Evelyn Nesbit's early career.
The past life of the star is vaguely

standing, only tolerated by his wife
for the sake of their two children,
has been concerned in her past life
when she had been a professional
dancer. Recognizing her on the street.,
he makes every effort to influence her
again. On one occasion she has him
arrested for insulting her, but is per-
suaded to drop the case. A reporter
rakes up the scandal, however, and
when her husband learns Of it he.
tries to thrash Brooks. The latter's
influence causes Loring to lose his
position. Then his illness and death
throw his faithful wife on her own
resources. Finally she makes a sue
cess Of a dressmaking establishment
under an assumed name. Fifteen
years later her son, the center Of her
existence and hope, is in love with his
college chum's sister, Grace. On
learning that Brooks is their father
Alice breads meeting him. At this
climax he denounces her and COM
mands Robert and Grace to forget
them Harry saves Roberts life in
an explosion, and Brooks, penitent,
asks Alice to forgive the past. In
the love OF her son. a credit to his
mother. the past is redeemed.
The cast follows:
Miss Nesbit is a revelation on the
screen She has the beauty and per-
sonality that mark an ideal photoplay
actress.

biggest successes ventured during tho
present vogue of mighty film out

JACKS LAST DAY
AT FOX'S THEATER

Jack and the Beanstalk," will
close its phenomenally successful run
at Fox's theater tonight, and it's safe
to say that not a kiddie. big or little,
young or old, will have missed the
opportunity OF seeing on the screen
this most realistic representation of
the most famous character of htera-
ture. Produced with absolutely no
regard for expense, and marked by
and attention to detail, this picture
original classic of childhood. And
there is no one Of the thousands who
have seen it who has not been sim
ply carried away with enthusiasm
over the beauty and charms Of the
production. The work of the little
stars, Francis Carpenter, aged six.
and Virginia Lee Corbin, aged five, is
nothing short of marvellous. Their
expression of deep emotion, and in
depreciation of the characters they
play will never be equalled, much less
surpassed. The citizens of the Little
Peoples city are most amusing, with
their grown-up ways SO perfectly as
sumed. OF particular merit are the
characterizations Of the king and the
villainous noble. Prince Rudolph, who
is insanely jealous Of Jack in his
courtship of the princess Jim Tar
Wis, that huge being who plays Blund-
erbore, the savage giant, fits the part
like a glove. In life. he actually
measures eight feet and a half in
height, and weighs something over
four hundred pounds. and in con-
trast to the little children with whom
he is associated In the drama, he
looks to be at least four times as
large. Today will be the last pre-
sentation OF Jack and the Bean
stalk" and the show will be run con-
tinously. from 2:15 to 1880. The
latest episode Of 1.-The Fatal Ring"
showing Pearl White surrounded by
new terrors, IL also q feature OF the

Eggs should be from a perfectly healthy flock. and preferably from hens that not run with male. The eggs should be gathered daily or twice daily in summer time, or if there are many broody hens The nests should be clean. Only eggs with thick. firm clean shells should be preserved

 The desert corn flea beetle is pres ent iii injurious numbers in the culti- yated areas of the southwestern United States, where it takes an an- lual toll upon such crops as corn, milo maize, sugar cane, Sudan grass. wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Both the adults md the larvae are concerned in injur- ng crops, the adults feeding upon the .op of the plant and the larvae upon he roots.
 The eggs are deposited at or near the surface of the ground and hatch in lbout six days. The young larvae are ,ound within the tender roots of the food plants while the older larvae are ,ound in the soil near these roots. The average length of the laryal stage is iound to be 32 days.

 The numbers of adult flea beetles an be reduced greatly by cleaning up libernation quarters and eradicating some of their weed food plants, such Is Johnson grass. salt grass, and Der nuda grass. They can be further re : 1uced by carefully cultivating such 'rops as can be cultivated just as soon IS the soil becomes dry, following each irrigation This method destroys a great many pupae.
