ID. w. Griffith's magnificent
spectacle "INTOLERANOE", the
seasons biggest hit in New York.
Is coming to the Elks Theatre
April 25th and Goth. In every
way the production which will be
shown here will be the same az
the Broadway one including sym
phony orchestra Of thirty.
The spectacular wonders of
"INTOLERANCE" have never
been equalled, possibly never will
be because Of the appalling cost
Of their production. Only di
rector like Mr.. Griffith, who had
millions Of dollars at his command.
could have attempted the resussi
tation of Ancient Babylon, a city
famed for its colossal architec
tural structures, it's grandeur and
it's life of prodigal luxury. This
Babylonian episode, which coat
more than any entire spectacle
ever before produced, is but one
fourth Of "lntolerance."

HEN-RAISEO CHICKS
BY q. Il. Conkey.

When chicks are raised in the
natural way with hens, fewer mis-
takes are liable to be made IN the
care of the chicks, still, early in
the season when there is much
bad weather, too much must not
be left to the hen because she can.
not supply all the care that is
needed. Many early hen Matched
chicks are lost through failure to
give them suitable quarters where
they will have plenty Of room and
can take advantage of the sun
shine. Small chicks are far bet
ter off indoors when the weather
Is not pleasant. Later on In the
season, or when the chicks are of
some size, running outside will be
invigorating, but it IN best to work
on the safe side at all times and
take no chances of chilling the
chicks.
Sometimes the chicks from two
matches are given to one hen for
raising and this works nicely in
warm weather, but do not try it.
until after the LIST Of May because
IN cool weather one hen cannot
cover more than fifteen chicks

look after.

Holding Sead Wheat.

In every community where spring
wheat was grown this year there are
farmers who are willing to hold seed
for sowing next spring, but they do not
feel that they should hold the wheat
through the winter and sell it next
spring for seed at the government fixed
price. 1t is not necessary that. they do
So 1t would not be fair to expect it.
Any farmer who has good wheat and
can hold it for seed until next spring
is urged to do so. While a sale for
seed will not be guaranteed him he will
be allowed to sell on the same basis as
the seed dealer, namely at profit of
not to exceed Is per cent, or from
twenty five tosthirty cents bushel.
There is no chance Of getting specula-
tive profits but the pay will be remun-
erative.
1t is desirable that farmers do this
in many communities where there are
not proper storage facilities to keep
wheat separate in: elevators and seed
houses. Much can be done by farmers
to preserve the purity of seed of good
Equality by keeping it in their own bins
until seeding time.
The varieties preferred are Marquis
Scotch Fife, Blue stem, in the order
named. If special information is de
sired it may be had from the represen.
tativeof the Department of Agriculture
who has this work in charge, Mr.. w. L
/ Oswald, 326 Flour Exchange, Mime
apolis, MINI. 1t is hoped that farmers
will help to keep good seed in the home
community for the sake Of efficiency

The Kid Halloween.

Halloween used to be an occasion
with little doing except for the roman
tic girls who went down the cellar
stairs backward, looking in a mirror to
see their future husbands. OF late
years it has grown into a very frisky
kid frolic, sometimes resulting in real
mischief.
The very tingling spirit Of October
seems to get into the kid bones at this
kinky season. The more q man shows
annoyance, the more they poster him.
If the youngsters simply ring doorbells
and rig tictacs, it is better to be calmly
oblivious. But il you show it bothers
you, or above all If you get out and
pursue the fleeing imps, one can see
your finish. That is just what they
want and there will be no rest for the
wicked. People with young hearts do
not mind few tricks. When 1t comes
down to ripping blinds of buildings or
Juggling of gates, the humor Of the
joke is not fully apparent.
In some places these kid pranks have
gone so far that the citizens have got
ten up public celebrations to interest
the boys and divert their attention. At
Forth Worth, Texas, the Fall Festival
ssociations holds parades andapaeeantl
with 1000 school children. At Allen.
