Dustin Farnum at the Dream Tonight.

"Davy Crockett" the story of the great frontier Indian fighter who loved as he fought--with all his might and won what he sought in spite of all ob- stacles. even the daughter of his aris- tocratic neighbor, Col. Vaughn. will be told at the Dream tonight.
 Across a rugged background of from tier life is woven this sweetest love story of stalwart Davy Crockett and dainty Eleanor Vaughn. She dances be- side him when he visits his traps, learns from him the art of woodcraft, and in turn reads to him masterpieces of literature. particularly his favorite hero. Lochinvar.
 Eleanor goes to England to be edu- cated; returning, her father dies at sea His vast estate is under the con- trol of Col Royston. who. through a weakness for gambling. has committed forgery and involved the Vaughn es- tate to Oscar Champion, a professional gambler To save himself Royston is pledged to accomplish the marriage of Eleanor to Oscar Crampton's nephew, Neil
 Eleanor walks blindly into the net and Davy looks sore at heart Eieanor's awakening begins when she is lost in the mountains with Neil. and snow bound in deserted cabin. Davy dis covers them, and while Neil shows a craven spirit of fear, Davy thrusts his arm through the cIeats in the door and holds it all night against the onslaught of a pack of wolves.
 The grand finale comes when Davy emuates his hero, Lochinvar and car res Eleanor away from the altar. a willing captive.
 Never. perhaps. has Dustin Farnum had a better role, and perhaps never has he risen to more splendid heights in it's portrayal

American Representative Who Went to Russia Claims Labor Is the
 PropeI|ing Force.
ORGANIZATION ORDERLY
Russian People a LovabIe and Fine Set - No
 DrunkS Seen by
 James Duncan.

WASHINGTON, Aug 22 - James Duncan, labor representative on mis- sion to Russia, says: Labor was the propelling force behind the Rus sian revolution, and will be a great and helpful factor in the making of the new government Already the workmen's soldiers and peasants council is the single authoratiye body. Labor is organizing rapidly and the labor situation is most hope full.
 Prior to the revolution labor or ganizations were secret bodies They were prohibited by the Czar, but maintained their organizations never theless. They issued pamphlets ex- plaining to the people the purposes of labor organizations and advocat ing governmental reform. When the revolution came, the labor organiza- tions were the only bodies with any form which could direct the upris- ing and hold it within bounds
 ''I attended the first labor conven- tion in Russia, when 29 labor unions were represented and carried on their business in orderly manner. Even now labor has five representatives in the cabinet The end of the month the first Russian constitutional con vention will be held. and the govern. ment will be formed probably with president look to see govern ment patterned after that of France and the United States.
 Rapid strides in labor reform have been made in Russia. The eight. hour day was put into effect almost simultaneously with the revolution The laborers are getting large ad- vances in pay. Some of our cores pondents in Petrograd have sent out pessimistic stories about these advances, characterizing them as "ab normal There is nothing abnormal about them. In many instances the employers have been making from 200 to 300 per cent profit. It is not abnormal if the employees demand a 100 per cent. increase.
 The Russian people arc as lovable and fine a people as I have ever met I was a whole month in PetrOgrad and didn't see a drunken man. I didn't see a quarrel or fist fight and all this with no police

Kjegsted endeavored to make head way; Paul was still in the race
 For some .me he pushed and tug gcd and hauled but could not catch up with his dogs. He then decided the best plan was to leave the sled, hit out alone and bring the team back if possible all To no avai,, however.
 Abou4 seven o'clock that night Kjegsted stumbled mp against a native igloo at Spruce creek, and, after rest ing a short while set out with a native to find his dogs For several hours they searched and searched and eventually returned to the sleigh where he found the dog which was chewed up frozen stiff. They then re turned to the native hut where he stayed until this morning when he again set out to find his six dogs.
 It is evident Shat these dogs have perished in the blizzard as both Top kok, Buff and Spruce creek have re ported unfayorab'y, however. Paul is still on the hunt in the endeavor to locate them.

 Kjegsted's story according to the native was that when about three miles out of Solomon his tow-line parted allowing his six lead dogs 70 drive along alone. The weather was awful. Kjegsted's dogs were without a leader so Pau, put a short line on his dogs and walked ahead in the hope of catching up to his lead string.
 For hours he plugged along ln the face of a blnding storm and then de- cided to cut his dogs loose thinking he was in the neighbodhood of a na- tive camp and they would beat to shelter.
 All this time Kjegsted had sick dog in the sleigh and was compelled to throw in another who was partly frozen; then pushing the sled himself
