FOOTBALL CAPTAIN IN
"THE GIRL PHILIPPA"

Among the younger generation of
character actors, there is perhaps no
one who has attained such success in
so short a period as Jules Cowles, who
plays Asticot in the new eight-reel
Vitagraph production of 'The Girl
Philippa," which will begin it's run at
the Arcade Theatre on Wednesday
and Thursday, Oct. "a and Is.
Asticot is character entirely new
to the screen. Mr.. Cowles therefore
had the opportunity, of which he has
taken full advantage, to create a part
eccentric, novel and quite unlike any.
thing that has been screened before
In order to obtain the proper atmos-
phere, and that nothing should be
missing in the detail of the character
portrayed, Mr.. Cowles lived for some
time in the French quarter of New
York.
Mr.. Cowles comes of old New Eng.
land stock and is direct descendant
Of the second Governor of Massachu-
sets. He is nephew of Rear Ad-
miral Cowles, U. S. N, and hence a
relative by marriage of Colonel
Roosevelt. He is a graduate of Yale
and prepared or college at Williston
School and Lawrenceville. He organ.

After graduating from Yale, Mr.
Cowles went into the brokerage busi.
ness but the panic of 1907 wiped out
his fortune and he took a position as
superintendent of a fruit ranch that
some friends owned in Cuba. He die
not remain there long, returning tt
New York, where he launched upor
the professional career which has
turned out so satisfactorily.

Doesn't Know When Next Contingent
Will Leave.

County Auditor Kennard informs
the Independent that he has received
no notifcatio as to the date for de-
parture OF the next contingent of
drafted men from Ward county. The
next contingent to leave will comprise
81 men or 30 per cent of the county's
quota, leaving Is per cent to go later,
The reason for the delay is that the
barracks for the soldiers at Camp
Dodge are not yet completed.
Ward county has called 936 men fo1
examination and Mr.. Kennard believes
that out of this number, the county
will be able to select its entire quota

STATEMENT FROM M. r.
PORTER.

M. r. Porter, chairman of the
Northwestern District compris-
ing Divide, Renville, Burke, Nc
Henry and Ward counties, makes
the following statement:
"This district is sure to over
subscribe it's allotment of $780,
) 900 by Oct. 27. Burke county
oversubscribed its apportionment
Of $68,0OO in three days. l have
, not had definite returns from
} the other counties, except Ward,
which will oversubscribe it's am
cunt, but l am certain that every
county will oversubscribe. The
committees have encountered a
mighty enthusiastic lot of peo-
) ple.' There has been a wonder
full change since the disposal of
the first bond issue. But few
slackers have been reported in
the district. The members Of the
committees have dropped their
own work in the busiest season
Of the year and they are getting
results. The banks as institu-
tons will not subscribe unless
compelled to do so. The bank
employees and officers are all
subscribing as individuals and as
about 95 per cent of the money
subscribed by individuals comes
out of the banks anyway, it
should not be necessary for the
banks as organizations to SUBJ
scribe large amounts. The banks
Of the district will all loan the
money to anyone with which to
buy bonds if necessary"
