CANNING SCHOOL
 NOW IN PROGRESS
Is Given Under the Direction of the Nevada Council of Agri- culture and Much Interest is Being Manifested.

The Nevada Council of Agriculture is giving it's first canning school, which is in progress at the court house today, and will continue through tomorrow, and the men are especially invited to attend tomorrow. Much interest is being manifested in this work and representatives num- bering over 20 from various school districts all over the county are in attendance. The school opened this morning at 10 o'clock with talk by Miss Archer of Little Rock, on "Seed Saving" Drying of Fruits and Vege- tables" The program this afternoon is the demonstration of canning of vegetables in glass, the actual can- ming taking place in the court yard. District Agent Miss Brown of Little Rock and Home Demonstration Agent Miss Griswold are assisting in the work.
 The program tomorrow will consist of demonstrating the different vege- tables and fruits that can be put up in tins, and the different canned pro- ducts from tomatoes.
 These lectures are very interesting and instructive and will prove a great help to both town and country people during the present war time prices and we urge that every man, woman and child attend tomorrow. Among the prominent leaders in this work who will be heard here tomorrow will be: Dr. J. E. Gibson of Little Rock, a member of the Bureau of Animal h. dustry and an expert on hog cholera, man who is as we'll posted as any one in the South; c. O. Carpenter, Secretary of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce; Harry F. Kapp of Lit tie Rock, District Agricultural Agent and E. J. Watson, Agricultural Agent of the Prescott & Northwestern Rail- road. These speakers would appre- ciate it if all the merchants would ask every farmer who comes into his store tomorrow to attend during the day.

a halfbreed girl and later murders her, making it appear that Emerson is the guilty one. Through the efforts of Edith, however, the truth comes out, the murderer is brought to jus tice in unique manner, and Emerson exonerated, wins the heart and hand of his beautiful benefactress. Briefly the foregoing is the gist of the story, but plot and counterplot run riot in the telling, thrilling scenes of dra- matic intensity abount, and unusual twists in the action lift this feature out of the ordinary run of picture dramas.
 No expense was spared in the pro- duction, which was made in the stu dios of Thomas A. Edison, Inc. Sup- porting Miss Mason is cast of uni form excellence. Every role is car ried by player of ability and repu- tation. There are no "extras" in ''The Law of the North" Among the sterling artists assembled in the cast are Sally Crute, Richard Tucker, Pat O'Malley, Robert Keggerris and Charles Sutton. The scenario is from the pen of Edward H. Griffith, and the production is released through the Keys Service"
