KNITTING CIRCULARS ISSUED.
Ked Cross Tells How to Make Gar
ments for Soldiers.

Half million illustrated knitting
circulars have been sent out from
national headquarters to Red Cross
chapters throughout the country. The
circulars contain full information on
how to knit the eight standardized ar
tlcies-sleeveless sweaters, mufflers.
helmets, socks, wristlets, wash cloths.
bed socks, and bottle covers-author-
lzed by the Woman's Bureau of the
Red Cross.
Recent cables from Maj. Grayson
Mp. Murphy, Red Cross commission
er IN France, again emphasize the
necessity for warm knitted articles
for the men who face the hardships of
a winter in the trenches. Army officers
request that the knitted articles be
forwarded as soon as possible. The
severity of winter, with a coal short
age to face and rising tuberculosis
rate to combat, demand that several
million garments reach France before
Thanksgiving.
Supplementing the appeal of the
American Red Cross in this connec-
ton, Governor Pleasant has address
ed a proclamation "to the noble, pa
trlotic and sympathetic womanhood
OF our commonwealth" requesting
them to devote as much of their time
as possible in the making of the.
knitted sets for the comfort of cur
soldiers engaged in the defense of the
American colors now planted at the
European front.
Other circulars are to be issued i'm
mediately on the making of comfort
kits, the manufacture of hospital gar
ments, surgical dressings, and relief
kits for the refugee children Of
France and Belgium.

cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,

ons into bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine cloth

tion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowiess and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it, Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up

lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. It is
marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.

Writes of Beet Sugar Making.

Florian j. Michel, of Donaldsonville
who is a member of the corps of ex-
pert sugar-makers at the big beet su-
gar factory Of the Los Alamitos (Cal.)
Sugar Co., writes the Chief as fol-
lows under date of the 30th ultimo

ing standard granulated sugar, and
refining all by-products as we make
them. All low-grade molasses is
taken to the Steffen plant, where it is
mixed with lime and cooled by means
of an ice machine, and then filtered
The cakes from these filters are call
ed calcium saccharate. The are
dissolved and used to clarity the beet
juice. The Steffen process is en-
ployed to extract all the sugar from
low-grade molasses, and it does the
work completely. We are slicing al
the rate Of thousand tons of beets
per twenty-four hours. Everything
is running nicely. l have three big
10-foot pans to look after, two for
white sugar and the, others for raw
sugar am kept very busy, as you
may imagine. 1t takes from two
hours and fifteen minutes to two
hours and a half to cook strike Of
sugar-some fast boiling. We have
enough beets ahead to keep us going
until the early days of December.
There are several other Louisiana
boys here, in the laboratory, among
them Mr.. Ward, whose father was

WHAT FAIRS SHOULD DO.
How They Should be Managed and
Patronized.

The officials, stockholders and pa
irons of the country, district and
state fairs of the southwest should be
proud of their success in giving en-
couragement and help to agriculture
and home life on the farm. 1t would
be very difficult matter to estimate
the benefits these fairs have been TO
the farmers and city people OF the
southwest That there will be more
community, county and districts fairs
this year than usual proves their pop
ularity and shows the enterprise and
progress of towns and communities
where these fairs are to be held.
In order that such fairs may be OF
the greatest possible benefit to the
country served by the fair every
farmer residing in that territory
should consider it his duty as a citl-'
zen, interested in progress to take his
family to the fair, and if possible, ex-
.hibit products to show what has been
done and is being accomplished on ms
own farm for better farming, m
dustrial home life and livestock rals-
ing. The social feature where
friends and neighbors meet at fairs Is
always worth trip and the educa-
tional and amusement features are
likely to be of paramount Importance:
The greatest possible care should
be exercised by officials and superin-
tendents Of departments at fairs to
see that every feature is fairly and
honorably conducted, that the eN-
hibits, amusements, trade displays
and social affairs accomplish the
greatest possible good. Nothing that
is degrading or vicious should be per
initted under any circumstances, but
goung people should have wholesome
amusement and educational ad-
vantages.-Farm and Ranch.

"The Jury of Fate. "


The favorite screen star, Mabel
Taliaferro, will be seen in the dual
role of Jeanne Labordie, a charming,
unselfsh girl, and as jacques, her
twin brother, who is pamfered and
selfish, in "The Jury Of Fate" to-
morrow's attraction at the Grand.
The story is laid for the most part
in the heart of the Canadian forests,
somewhere in the northern part of
Quebec. Henri Labordie's wife dies
after giving birth to twins, and he
makes an agreement with his friend,
Duval Hebert, that Jeanne, when old
enough, shall marry Herbert's son,
Louis. jacques is the favorite Of his
father, who, when the story opens, is
fast becoming blind; and in order to
lessen the blow, Jeanne masquerades
as Jacques, after he is accidently
drowned. The father dies soon after
and, carrying out his request, she goes
to his friend Hebert, learn of the
agreement, and agrees to marry Louis
Hebert, weak-natured, dissipated
youth, although she is in love with
Duncan, a surveyor, whom she has
met in the north woods. On the night
before the wedding Louis returns
from trip to the north bringing Dun
can, who believes that Jeanne has de-
ceived him. Louis hears their con-
versation, denounces Jeanne, and is
killed by being thrown over banister
in fight with Francois Leblanc, a
halfbreed friend of Jeanne's. LIE.
Blanc and Jeanne return to the
forests, and, through the unselfishness
Of Leblanc, who himself loves Jeanne,
reconciliation is brought about be-
tween Jeanne and Duncan. Many
beautiful woodland views are shown
in the play.

obliged to both these gentlemen for

Charles Ray in Sudden Jim"

Charles Ray, who won personal
triumph in s'The Clodhopper," will ap-
pear In the biggest role he has yet es-
sayed in the Triangle play, Sudden
Jim," the Saturday Evening Post
story by Clarence Budington Kelland,
which will be shown at the Gem
today. Millions have read the story,
either in serial or novel form, concern
ing the boy who was given $4,000
by his father and told to play or work,
Just as he might choose. Playing
didn't appeal to Sudden Jim. He
took over his fathers clothes pin
factory up in Michigan, made things
hum, fought down combine that was
trying to force high prices on the mar
ket and earned the title "hell on
wheels" Those who have read the
exploits of Sudden jim and learned to
love him for his quick, decisive action,
his altruism with a punch, will see
him perfectly realized in Charles Ray
In fact, Rays own personality is SO
identical with that of Sudden Jim's
that the Triangle producers purchased
the story particularly to feature him.
The best company of players that
could be assembled were cast for roles
in support Of Ray.

BACK ON THE JOB

Gov. Geo. w. P. Hunt is back
on the job and he started in again
on his duties as governor of Ari-
zona on Christmas day, thanks
to the decision of the Supreme
Court.
After an absence of a year,
during which time he stood pas
sively by and witnessed the kind
of government that comes thru a
republican administration. the
duly elected democratic governor
of the State of Arizona is once
more at the helm to guide the
Ship of State through the turbu-
lent passages of the political sea.
Governor Hunt is a democrat
and as the duly acknowledged
leader of the democracy of the
State, the democrats of this State
should stand solidly behind him
AMI give him full party support
in his efforts to maintain a demo.
cratic government for. the people
of Arizona.

cence in the spirit Of a resolution
of the Council of National De-
fense, that voluntary patriotic
organizations, such as the League,
operate in the several states
through and under the guidance
of the State Council of Defense,
so that the State Council of De-

directed toward assisting in the
prosecution of the war"
The League officials state that
they are happy to accept this
as a definite request that we
coordinate our win-the-war work
in Arizona, so far as possible,
with your Council. Mr.. Taft and
our national executive committee
feel that the reasons for national

are so compelling that it is essen

In each Of these a soldier was strum-
ming on a piano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes, selling
stamp, and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One Of
the soldiers said to me as l stood In
the tent used chiefly by men from

the heart that I watched them, oent
over their letter paper, in one after
another of those seven big tents.
These were the tents Of the Y. y. G.
A. On that last night in Americs the
association was serving the soldiers
In the best Of al ways-siving them
