It fs truly great picture.
 The vaudeville acts are well up to the Loew standard and were given the on thusiastic approval of the audience last night at each performance. The bill opens with a snappy iusglng act in which Vincent and Maxine perform some great feats of dexerity and is very at tractively presented.
 Elizabeth Cutty in song and violin se- lections, was gwen a fine reception. Her Instrumental numbers were particularly well rendered. With the elimination of some unnecessary rough stuff the act of Mack and Lee would prove more enter- taning as the act has enough merit without it. Their comedy chatter IS in the main amusing and the songs wall rendered.
 The farce comery by Walters and Moore He Who Laughs Last, is very original conception and afforded some genuine amusement. The trained seals are truly wonderful, one of them playing America" on musical instrument. Loews News Weekly and comedy reels are on the bill

Increased 100000.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Despite an es-
timated loss of 100000 bushels dur
ing September, the country's corn crop
still will be the greatest in it's history.
Latest figures issued by the depart
ment of agriculture show the crop
will be 3,21O, 900 bushels, and also
that, despite an estimated loss of o.
100000 bushels during the month, the
spring wheat crop will exceed last
years. Other crops approach bumper
records.
White potatoes show a decrease of
almost 100000 bushels, beans loss
of 100000 bushels, buckwheat fall
ing off of 100000 bushels and barley
and rye each a loss of more than q
100000 bushels.

COOLER WEATHER IN TEXAS
Soldiers at Camp Macarthur Welcome
Relief From Heat-UncIe Sam
Sends 100000 to Pay
Off the Men.

Waco, Tex, Oct. 10-COOler wealth
or, a Welcome reminder of fall in Wis
c0nsin, has restored Badger soldiers
to good health. Their most serious all
nent here was due to the heat and
Texas water. The weather man has be-
come more agreeable and the military
authorities have taken care of the 9th
er problem by enforcing the rule for
bidding the use of canteenS while in
the field. Drinking too much water in
this country until one is thoroughly ac-
climated is Il dangerous habit Some
of the GuardSmen took their canteens
with them when they went out to drill
and in a few days the practice became
general. Tt was followed by a thinning
of the ranks as soldiers were taken III.
Then came the announcement that
cantpehs would have to be left in The
tents. Texas water, as it comes from
the faucets, is not the cool, refreshing
water of Camp Douglas. 1t is too
warm to quench the thirst. Wisconsin
companies have arranged to purchase
ice and ali company streets prOvi ia ice
water. The men are bathing under
shower baths which spout forth the
natural water of Texas Many of the
men prefer hot to cold baths, and a
number of them have dubbed together
for the use of rooms in downtown no
tells. They come to Waco in groups to
take turns at the bathtub. The small
est unit in the United States army is
to be found at Camp Macarthur. 1t is
the One Hundred Twentieth machine
gun battalion and includes in it's mem
berShip one major, one sergeant, one
lieutenant and two priyates. The first
parade of the battalion was in one of
the mess halls in camp, the movement
being confined to about twenty square
feet of space. This baby battalion is
one of the freak developments of the
new plan Of organization. In time, of
course, it will be a full-fiedget unit
composed of Michigan and Wisconsin
men. Uncle Sam has started to pay
off his soldiers in Camp Macarthur.
He sent along more than S1,000,O0O to.
meet the payroll and all men in the
Thirty-secOnd division were paid off
the latter part of last week. Most of
the soldiers sent part of their money
home. Some Of them limit themselves
to % or so cents day. In view of the
fact that the automobile fee for a ride
downtown is % cents, this modest linn
itation of spending money shows that
the soldiers are leading the simple life.
Under the new system of paying the
men, the commanders of each regiment
draw the amount of money due their
organization and the money is distrib
uted among the various units. All
spare moments these days are spent
close to telegraph wires to get the
news of the worlds series. The White
Sox seem to be the favorites, but there
is enough difference of opinion in camp
to make it interesting. The soldiers
like to bet, and considerable wagering
marks camp interest in the Giants and
the White SOX.
