Talmadge touches the highest note
yet reached in her career. AS the
squatter's daughter, wronged and de-
serted by her husband, left to rear
their child under a cloud, she rises
to. great emotional heights, and her
portrayal Of Tess is one that will win
the sympathy Of every audience. The
picture is being distributed by Sc
lect and will be shown at the Rex
theater tomorrow and Wednesday.
Tess is a product Of the Storm
Country in general, and of the de-
spised squatter village on the shores
Of Lake Cayuga in particular. All
her life has been spent on the de-
fensive, and the one bright spot in
it is her love for Frederick Graves.
Graves belongs to the socially elect
of the countryside, and his devotion
to Tess has been kept secret. He
is taking theological course at COL
lege and while home on a vacation
persuades Tess to consent to secret
marriage.

PROGRESS on OLD TRAILS ROAD
Judge Lowe Tells of Work Done in
Last Four Years.

When Judge ]. NJ. Lowe of Kansas
City retired recently from the pres
idency of the National Old Trails As
sociation because of ill health, he is
sued statement showing the amount
of permanent road building accomp-
lished on the road in the last five
years. He says:
THE aspiration of this organization
was to build permanent highways
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
Washington, Z. c. to Los Angeles.
This plan has been practically COM
pleted from Baltimore and Washing
ton through Maryland, Pennsylvania.
West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. in
Illinois its building has been assured
by the legislature. In Missouri the
legislature has permitted the state to
pay One-half and the country through
which the road will pass it to pay the
other half Kansas has not taken any
official steps but the people are sue
cessfully trying to get it. California
has built about half and Arizona. New
Mexico and Colorado will finish their
roads within the year 1918.
"All the states through which the
highway runs have adopted it as part
of the state highway system. This Or
ganization had no money to start with
and not a mile of good roads existed
when it was organized. This is an in
dependent organization and has re-
ceived during the last five years from
all sources an average of $5,516.41
annually, and has brought about the
expenditure of s1O,OOO,OOO in perma-
nent construction"

FARMERS LIKE EXCHANGE PLAN
]. W. COnnaway Shows Advantage OF
New System.


Missouri farmers as a rule are in
terested i'm an exchange system. This
is the opinion of nearly all of the rep
resentatives of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture who have
returned to Columbia. There are nu-
merOus instances in almost every
community in which an exchange sys-
! tenn among the farmers would affect
a saving of time and money. In speak
ing to one organization in Crawford
County, DIR. J. w. Connaway of the
College of Agriculture suggested that
! there was no reason why a farmer who
had hogs and no feed should ship his
feeders. to st. Louis to be bought
there by another man in a different
part of the community who had corn
but no hogs to consume it.
OF course DR.. Connaway's illustra-
tion was merely theoretical but that
such instances occur is shown by re-
ports from other counties. A member
of farmers club at Bowman, Dade
County, said that he paid 81 a bushel
for fax seed that his neighbor had
sold for $2.25. He had bought his
seed in Springfield and one of his
neighbors had sold seed of the same
variety to dealers in Springfield. Al
Job. in Oregon County. one farmer
who had been selling corn all winter
and hauling twenty miles to market
at Thayer. learned during the organ
ization meeting that one of his neigh.
bors had been buying corn in Thayel
and hauling it twenty miles to his
| farm. An exchange system would
have saved money in both instances.
