.t-WtSE-U THEATER.

Today-.'The Shielding Shadow" Ralph KellaTd, who plays the part of Jerry Carson in "The Shielding duccd by tho Astra Fiji incorporation, was an actor of note on the legiti- mate stage before he posed for the camera. He was a matinee idol and when he had his own stock company in Syracuse he created considerable discussion, particularly among the fairer sex. as to whether he kissed his leading lady more or less than was necessary in the portrayal of the yar1- GUS roles he took. Most of his temln- inc audiences expressed themselves as willing to change places with. the leading lady.
 In "The Shielding Shadow" the first episode of which will be seen at the A-Muse-U theater today, he plays the part of the impassioned lover who goes to seek buried treasure. while he leaves his sweetheart at home to wait for him. He finds adventure in plenty, but no treasure, and when he returns, meets trouble that has been prepared for him by his rival.

How to Be Rid of
Disgusting Dandruff

The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is
to correct its cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days. then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub 1t in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one ap-
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only a few days massage with
Partisan Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy.
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process. which Is absolutely harm
less. and will not stain the hair or
make 1t greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
III. G. Kennedy and druggists every
where. 1t is not expensive.

bushel has been $1.30 for a crop esti-
mated at 1854, 900 bushels while last
years crop of 20,502,000 bushels sold
for an average price of 80 cents a
bushel. This shows an increase in the
value of the potato crop of from $16,-
4O1,0O TO $24,133,300. The average
price obtained at this time covers the
period of the past year and with thou
sands of bushels still being held and
in many places selling at from S1.60 to
S2.00 q bushel it is very likely that
the value of the present season crop
will be much larger than the present
estimate.
The hay production during the past
year was the largest ever known in
this State. the estimate placing the
yield at 5,241,270 tons as compared
with 3,558,000 tons in 1915. There
were 3,195,OO0 acres of hay harvested
against 3,015,000 a year ago and the
average yield was 1.64 tons to an acre
against yield of 1.1S tons an acre
last year. In 1908 the average per
acre was 1.5 tons but the bumper crop
this season was far ahead. While the
average price per ton was $3.50 last
year the immense production has
brought an average price of $14.50 in
the State and the value of the crop is
S75,998,415 as compared with $685.
572.200 for the 1915 crop.
The tobacco production is estimated
at 45,560r000 pounds on $4,000 acres
as compared with production of 45,-
$4,000 pounds on 31,500 acres year
ago. The average was 1910 pounds to
an acre against an average of 1,450
pounds a year ago. The tobacco crop
which is principally grown in Lam
caster county suffered from the worms,
several severe hail storms and some
was caught by the early frosts. But
tobacco that averaged ten cents q
pound year ago has brought an in
crease of fifty per cent. in price and
the average price per pound for 1916
was raised to fifteen cents. The 1916
crop is valued at s6,S34,000 as COM
pared with $4.567,5OO for the 1915
crops.

great fields of growing sugar cane. In
addition numerous villages lay in the
path and all these had to be invaded
and thoroughly searched. 1t was q
curious sight to see the scores of
Mohmands scurrying like rabbits for
the cover of the cane fields and viii
lagos ahead of the advancing troops.
Straight through the heavy barrier
of cane with it's razor-like blades went
the Tommies and lancers, emerging
on the farther side with their catch

gether under guard and brought along
in the rear.
The villages were more difficult, for

In all manner of queer places. But
one and all they were dug out of their

to be sent TO an internment camp

THREE CROPS GAIN
80 PER CENT.
Potato, Hay and Tobacco
Yield Worth $1O6,965,615;
Due to High Prices

The potato, hay and tobacco crops
raised in Pennsylvania during the past
season have a total valuation of $780,
s65,615 according to the estimates
just announced by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture. A year ago the
same crops were valued at 77,541, 800
and the increase of S29,424,315 shows
gain of thirty-eight per cent. in the
value of the 1916 crops.
The potato production was almost
two million bushels less than last sea-
sons crop but the average price per
