Eltinge AT BestIn
Countess Charming" At
The Grand This Week

-
Julian Eltinge has been known to
the play-going public too long to need
introduction, yet a word may be ac-
cetpable. Many actors have tried to
impersonate the fair sex, but no n
has been SO consistently successful as
Mr.. Eltinge. His playing is delicate
and his makeup absolutely deceptive.
In The Countess Charming the
current offering at the Grand, he is
a fascinating countess. who wins away
all mems hearts, and with them their
valuables. "Her intentions are good,
however, as the money Obtained
therefrom goes to the Red Cross. It
is an unusual film of. unique plot.
Eltinge is an innate comedian, and
is at his best in this play. The screen
is a faithful mirror, but the actor de-
fies it in his disguise.
The vaudeville bill is one Of un-
usual merit. It is featured by the
four American beauties, who intro

SOWING OATS FOR HAY


Where clover meadows have been
damaged by winter killing and an ex-
ira crop I hav is desired, oats is one
ui the best temporary hay crops.
Oats and field peas are sometimes
PLANTED together and produce hay of
an excellent Quality, the peas raising
the protein content of the mixture.
when planted together, bushels of
oats and pecks of peas make good
combination. The rank growing var
icties of oats, such as Silver Mine,
Swedish Select and side oats at the
rate of 8 bushels to the acre make a
large yield.
Oats seem to make the best hay
when cut just as it is coming into the
dough stage. The crop can be cured
more easily if allowed to get ripper al
though the straw will not be SO pala-
table. When cut in the dugh stage.
just as the lower leaves are turning
yellow, yields of tons to the acre
can be secured.

Paris, April 17.TWith the United

The addresses are printed in Ger

into the hands of the German soldiers
is to show them the real attitude of

The first batch of copies was drop

German nigh angle guns were pop

harmlessly too low or too wide.

to the spread of President Wilson's

The call OF the president for the
people of the nation to enlist in the
productive army is one of the most
important documents in the hisory of
mankind. In breadth of vision and
scope of thought this word of the
Chief Executive to the individual
force Is without precedent.
The spirit of the appeal means that
the United States will profit by the
experiences of England and France

which ha e had such an adverse effect
upon tn Sc nations in the war will
not be repeated on this side of the

Vacant Lots and High Prices

All yer the United States there
has been a sudden awakening to the
importance of cultivating vacant lots.
The increasing price of food has made
it impossible to ignore the fact that
Withholding of land from use has
caused a greater scarcity of food than
need be tolerated. So the papers are
urging cultivation of back yards and
begging vacant lot owners to kindly
allow the poor to plant vegetables on
their property.
This awakening is better late than
never. But why did lot these papers
note long ago the ineXcusable waste
incurred in holding idle of valuable
land? There was widespread power
IT, and unemployment before this era
Of high prices. There will be again,
il land owners are to be permitted to
continue withholding of land from
use. Ii is high time that the impor-
tance Of she land question should be
recognized.
AS far back as 1894 the late Hazen
S. Pingree, Single Tax Mayor of De-
troit, realizing that plutocracy had
too strong a hold on the Michigan
Legislature to make Single Tax legis-
lation possible at the time, conceived
the idea of securing permission from
landowners to allow the poor to cul-
tivate their vacant lots. Mayor Pin
gree knew that his plan was only
palliative. But he hoped that once
in operation he could arouse public
sentiment to the need of compelling
all landowners to either use their

Contsmporaneous with the utter
ance from the White House came
words of similar import from Mrs.
Wilson. Her contribution directed to
the women Of the United States lays
the foundation of plan, by the observ-
ance OF which the meat supply par
tjcularly will be conserved, while OBJ
servance of her request with refer
ence to the quantity of supplies for
each meal will amply sustain in good
health and remove the temptation to
serve that which is not necessary.
Mrs. Wilson's wish that during
these war times entertainment shall
be withheld below q display of eX-
tIavagance, OF an expression of Law
ishness, which may be uncalled for,
should be needed by the hosts and
hostesscs of the country.
Undoubtedly, every community
contains a very considerable percen-
tage of nonworkers and shirkers;
those who do not contribute to the
sum total for various pretenses and
reasons for instance the man who
leafs about the streets looking to his
relatives for sustenance and shelter.

But he soon found that Detroit's pa
pers were ready enough to commend
the comparatively few vacant lot
owners who allowed the use of their
land, but insisted on silence regard
ing the very obvious lesson to be
drawn therefrom. The same happen
cd in other cities where, at the insti-
cation of local Single Takers, the
Pingree plan was followed. The
slow process of agitation outside of

TO SELL BROOD

With the prospects of an unusual

a 16 oe ITS per pound, the danger of
a pork famine is probably to become
more acutc than in the past few

the high figures now paid for hogs.
