Mary Pickford at Empress

Today offers the last opportunity to witness Mary Pickford in her Aircraft picture, "A Poor Little Rich Girl which is on the last lasp of its engage ment at the Empress. A charming story of childhood-one that will ap- peal to all classes and ages-is what the summing up of this feature might be called. Mary Pickford is appearing in the role of the daughter of wealthy parents. Her father is busily engaged in amassing a fortune through his operations in Wall street, while the mothers consuming ambition is to be the recognized leader in the whirl of society. She is so busily occupied with her social duties to even give a thought to the little daughter, who craves the mothers care to which she is entitled But there comes turning l of the ways. The father meets with misfortune and in desperation is driver to the point of taking his life. The little neglected daughter proves the saving angel at the moment of the l suicide

 D. w. Griffith's magnificent spec tacle intolerance" one of the seasons s biggest hits in Phoenix, closes a most successful three-day engagement to- day. In every way the production which is shown here is the same as the Broadway one including a fine or chestra.
 The spectacular wonders of 'Intol- erance' have never been equalled, pos sibly never will be, because of the ap- palling cost of their production. Only a director like MT. Griffith, who had great sum at his command, could have attempted the resusitation of an cient Babylon, a city famed for its colossal architectural structures, its grandeur and it's life of prodigal luXu- ry This Babylonian episode, which 1 cost more than any entire spectacle ever before produced, is but one ' fourth of Intolerance"

WANTS PACKING HOUSE HERE.
special Agent U. S. Dept. of Aori-
 culture Has Ideas on Potatoes

Col. Lawrence Foot special agent TOT the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture, was here Friday, and, besides attending to matters in the line of uuty, visited with s. D. Shrewsbury. whom he has known for forty wears col. Foots speciality is the promo ton Of hog growing and the spread Ing of the information as to the best methods of pork preservation. He states that Mena should, in his opinion, have a packing house. OF at least cold storage where hog car casses could be kept.
 Col. Foot also dropped an idea thai should interest potato growers. He says that if potatoes from the early crops are put in cold storage and Kept for short time at near the lreezlng point, they will sprout very readily on being taken out and will do as we'll for planting as tho car rled thru winter season. He says this will go long way toward ob- waiting the frequent poor stand that comes with replanting the carly crop for later potatoes. Another method he suggests has been tried. IS to have ground for a second plant Ing all prepared, and when the first crop of potatoes is ripe lay the new patch out in furrows about inches deep on one day and soon the next morning dig the early potatoes, but plant and cover immediately, the latter to good depth. Later level off the ridges and, he says, he believes good stand will result
 Col. Foot left for the north this afternoon.

COMMON SCHOOL
 COMMENCEMENT
Class of Thirty-ThPee Graduated Wednesday From Eighth Grade Program of Song, Music and
 Readings.

An innovation in educational af- fairs in Mena was the Grammar school commencement exercises planned by the teacher, Miss Addie McDearman, and held Wednesday night of last week in the Presby- terian church, marking the com pletion of the work of the eight grades of the common school twenty-seven girls and six boys. This was the first time in the his tory of the Mena schools that com mon school graduating exercises were held, and the undertaking met with such general approval and commendation that it doubtless will be an annual affair hereafter.
 The interest of the public school patrons was splendidly attested by the large audience that gathered to attend the exercises, and the un- divided attention and hearty ap- plause, which was given each num- Der on the program. The program was largely made up of music and song, consisting of piano solos, man. .dolin duets, and a vocal quintet, rendered by five of the girl members of the class. Readings were given by Tillis Steel and Juanise Scoggin. Others who took part in the pro- gram were Ethel Conklin, Virginia Paris, Myrtle Huneke, Edrena Wy att, Juanita Holt, Villa Nina Pip kin Gertrude Patton, Donna Harman, Christine Watson, Mae Williams, Hubert Smith and J. w. Gardner, Jr., with Miss Miriam Smith of the Jun for class as accompanist for the mandolin duets.
 Minor pipkin, president of the school board, in presenting the cer- tificates of graduation, paid de- served tribute to the class for the high rank of scholarship which has been maintained turnout the com mon school course, and particularly thru the last three or four years of the work; and while he noted the fact that the program was strong in music and song, he saw in this an unmistakable evidence that Mena was a coming music center, and that the city was going to be placed on the map in the musical world by the members of this class, pointing out that within the past week two young ladies who were born in Mena. and whose mothers were ed ucated in the Mena schools, had won honors in music, the one in the State High school contest in Okla homa and the other in the Inter collegiate contest in Arkansas.
 The members of the class are as follows
 Fdrena Wyatt, Lorena French, Margaret Gregg, Julia Cares, Juanita Holt. Myrtle Huneke, Ruth Head Minnie King, lone McCulley, Olga Parker. Ethel Payne, Eloise Pulliam, Gertrude Patton, Goldie Ratlitf, Fay Wallace. Virginia Paris, Bessie Cook, Ethel Conklin. Mae Williams, Juan ise Scoggin.

GOAT MEAT SUGGESTED
AS VEAL SUBSTITUTE

Maybe by and by island residents
will eat goat meat instead or veal,
lamb, mutton and beef, if suggestion
made at the last meeting of the Food
Commission meets with the general
approval of the Honolulu meat-eat1ng
public. There are plenty of goats on
the islands, the real, quadrupedic kind
that may be eaten without resort1ng
to cannibalism. The Food Commits
sion wants to make itself perfectly
clear. 1t means the sort of goat that
can stick its four feet against a per-
pendicular wall of rock and, thus
stuck, nibble gracefully at blade OF
fat-produeing grass growing out OF a
horizontal crevice in that perpendic-
ular wall, utterly unmindful of yawn-
ing chasm directly beneath and 200
feet below. That's the kind of goat
the Food Commission has in mind.
Goat meat makes good food. and to
rid the islands of goats-the kind the
Food Commission means-would be a
godsend, for where goats grow and
flourish, nothing else does. Goat meat
is very nice and tender, before it gets
tough, and is full of nourishment.
Seriously speaking, the Food Com
mission considers goat meat worthy
of trial. Those who have eaten
young kid maintain that it is delicious,
combining the flavor of lamb and wild
yenison. Certainly the more goat con-
sumed as food, the less beef. There
fore, in the language of the Foor Com.
mission, to conserve beef why not eat
goat? 49, @@.s -.
