INCREASED RYE
ACREAGE ASKED
FOR NEXT YEAR
Grain Authorities Suggest
That This Grain Sup
plement Wheat

Washington, D. g. Sept. 20.-Rye
is recommended for a larger acreage
increase than that suggested by the
United States Department of agri-
culture for any other grain crop
Compared with the ten-year average.
the more than five million acres
urged for rye represent a 124 per
cent increase, the next largest in
crease advised for 1918 being 43 per
cent for winter wheat. The rye fig-
ures represent 81 per cent increase
Of the area sown to rye last year,
when the largest acreage in the his
tory Of the country was put in.
The main reasons why the de-
partment recommends rye are that
IL is harder than wheat, that IL will
grow on some lands not adapted 10
wheat, and may be sown later than
wheat. In addition, IL is less subject
to injury by insects and disease than
wheat is. and 1t usually natures be-
fore rust, the great enemy of the
small grains, becomes severe. Rye
will endure a more acid soil. as COM
pared with wheat. and is generally a
better crop for fall. winter, and
spring pasture because IL makes
larger, earlier, and more upright
growth.
1t has advantages on the economic
side as well as on the cultural, sayE
the department, and in some sec
tions produces a more profitable crop
than wheat. II uses less nitrogen,
pound for pound, and the straw has
a higher value than wheat straw.
Our Place in Bye Production.
The United States, noted for its
pre-eminent place among the nations
in grain production, grows less than
3 per cent Of the worlds rye crop
Winter rye Is the best for this coun-
try and may be grown from the cot
ton belt to the northern boundary BY
using the varieties adapted to the
different regions. the Italian varieties
in the South and Swedish and Rus
sian strains in the North. At the
northern boundary Of Florida, rye
ripens about the middle Of May, and
the average date of ripening is ap-
proximately one day later for each
fifteen miles northward until, in the
northernmost states, ii ripens be-
tween July 10 and July Is.
Full details as to the culture, of
rye in the eastern half Of the United
States, where 80 per cent Of the crop
is grown, are given in Farmers Bull
letin 1855, United States Department
Of agriculture. This bulletin dis
cusses the production and harvesting
of the crop. and gives a description
of soils and varieties that may be
expected to yield good results In var
ious regions. Since rye is strongly
recommended by the department, and
by the food administration forces,
farmers who may contemplate plant
ing 1t are urged to write to the de-
partment of agriculture at Wash
iDgton for copies Of the bulletin.
Most of the colleges and experiment
stations in the northeastern quarter
of the United States have also issued
publications about this crop in their
states.

An outstanding attraction of this
season or any other theatrical season
known locally is to be seen at the
Orpheum commencing Sept. 81, and
continuing for three days when d.
W.. Griffith's colossal work, "Intoler-
ance" will be unfolded here.
IL is impossible to speak of this
mighty achievement and not appear
exaggerated. 1t is the biggest thing
ever dreamed of by any dramatic in
the world and is carried through to
the most logical conclusion along
lines that are simply astounding,
Cn& hundred and twenty live thous-
and people fill its stories with action
and 1000 horses and 1.500 chariots
not to mention elephants and wild
animals and birds of the jungles and
the Far East lend their enlivening
influence in the outlining of the
events which are crowded into near
ly 5000 scenes of splendor, drama,
excitement, adventure, romance, love
episodes and dances of palaces that
were supposed to have been obliter-
ated by the sands of time.
From out OF the past and the
present Griffith has evolved an epic
which creates a new art form to
arouse the interest of the world. He
has crowded four stories OF as many
different periods in history into one
great comprehensive study Of the
conditions which love has struggled
against since civilization was first
devised. He shows the old world
places where the same intolerant
views held sway in the days Of
kings and despots that now sway
the people who would reform and
regulate all the Joy out Of our pres
ent day life.
His ancient stories are laid in
Babylon at the time Of BeIshazzar
and his antiquity loving father Ma
bonidos and he has rebuilt the walls
of that ancient citadel for his dra-
matte purpose. Here you see the
then known world coming up to
Babylon to pay homage and to en-
joy the pleasures Of metropolitan ex-
istence $500 years ago. The luxury

and the joy Of ii all give way TO the
great battles with Cyrus and his
hordes that gather on the banks Of
the Euphrates and ease and dances
and living give place to war and the
downfall Of Babylon in the most
stupendous scenes that were ever
dreamed OF.
The next stage Is the beauties Of
ancient Jerusalem at the dawn of the
Christian era and the struggle Of the
new message Of love which the Mas
ter made against the Pharisees and
the overlords Of that day which end
ed with the tragedy on Calvary.
Next is the love episode of the
innocent Huguenots caught I'm that
maelstrom of medieval cruelty
brought down around them by the
Vaccinations of Catherine de Medici
that her degenerate sons might re-
tain their grip on the thrones OF
France. These preludes verge into
and become part of a gripping
drama of current life in America.
In other guises you see the same
forces which upset ancient civiliza-
tons cracking their tolerant whips
over the people today. This treat.
ment brings the human note into
spectacle which is astonishing for its
Dlgn6S6s Oh -.-OuIl1ue - ana s-- purpose.
There are strikes and hair breadth
escapes from lily contrived peFsecu-
tions. A marvellous, scene showing a
race for a life between an automo-
bile and a fast flying express train
brings this story to. its climax. And
then all merge into one great effort
which shows that love win conquer
in the end and human hearts will
heat to more impeIling emotions than
those of. narrow regulators or self
styled controllers Of all that life.
should hold dear to the Individual.
Mr.. Griffith combines music with
his stirring productions and a chorus
and orchestra of nifty will interpret
the emotions OF his story while the
eye is following his wonderful por-
trayals of what the people OF the
world have suffered and brought
forth. @

ASKS EXEMPTION
FOR NO EMPLOYE
Some Men Are Vital to the Rail-
road, but Must Ask for
Their Own Exemp-
tionS.

President Calvin of the Union Pa
cihc announces that his road will make
no request for the exemption of any
of their employees from the national
draft army, although the men may
make their own application for ex-
emption.
There is probably no class OF en-
ployes more essential to the conduct
of that vital part. of the work of war
preparation, wien 1t is necessary 70
carry on at home, than the men en-
gagged in the work of transportation"
said Mr.. Calvin. s...1
Railroad employees all over the
country are putting new spirit
into their work, spirit of pa
triotism. Everywhere ave have evil
dence of this new spirit in the con-
slant increasing efficiency of the rail-
road machine, which, as we all know,
has been welded into one great ma
tional organization under the direc-
ton of the railroads war board, in
Washington.
"All questions of individual rights
and individual preferences, which usu-
ally accompany competition between
private owners, are wiped out for the
period of the war.
Will Rely on Examiners.
THE Union Pacific will rely upon
the judgment of the exemption boards
in the matter of who shall be taken
and who shall be left beind. No man
should be left behind unless his work
here is vital, so vital that his place
cannot readily be filled by another.
. 1--WE OF the Union Pacific, however,
will not ask on our own behalf the
exemption of even such men as these.
We will be very glad to explain fully
the law and the rules of the exemp-
ton board to all of our employees who
desire to ask exemption upon their
own behalf. There are many men in
our employment whose work here is
vital, and if such men ask our advice
we will Lc glad to give it, but the re-
quest for exemption will have to
come from the men themselves.
"Thc task in which our nation is
now engaged is the greatest and most
splendid task that men have ever been
called upon to perform, and the part
which the Union Pacific Railroad
company and its executive and ad-
ministrative officers will play, is one
of full and complete cooperation,
both in spirit and in deed, with the
authorities in charge of our nations
destinies."

REED HAS RIGHT
TOBRING HISSU|T
FOR INJUNCTION
Three Judges Rule He Had Au-
thority to Invoke the Junkin
Act to End the Omaha
Strike Trouble.

The state of Nebraska, on relation
of Attorney General Reed, won a
point in its injunction suit against
the Business Mems association and
Omaha unions when Judge leslie,
Judge Sears and Judge Redick, sitting
in equity court, held it was within
the power of the official to bring the
action.l
Attorneys for the union had ar
gued, in support of demurrer to the
injunction procev vdings, that the attor-
ney general did not have the right to
invoke the Junkin act in his attempt
to end Omaha strike troubles.
Hearing on additional phases of the
demurrer was set over till Monday.
Three district judges will then have
to decide whether the alleged acts in
restraint of trade, as charged by At
torney General Reed against the un-
ions and the Business Mems asso-
citation, are sufficient to warrant per-
manent injunction.
If the demurrer is sustained the case
will be ended. Should it be over
ruled the attorney generals injunc-
ton suit will be heard on its merits.
The legal fight arising out of the
unions demurrer to the attorney gen.
erals original suit is three-cornered
one.
Attorneys for the Business Mems
association claim the right to argue
on the demurrer because of their
cross-petition to the injunction suit, in
which they deny any Conspiracy
with the unions in the alleged acts
in restrain. of trade.
