ROMANCE OF OLD
 SPAIN FEATURE
 AT THE EMPRESS

The feature offering of the Empress tonight is pretty little Marguerite Clark as "The Pretty Sister of Jose.
 In this title role of Frances Hodg- son Burnetts charming romance of old Spain, and Maude Adams former starring vehicle, the dainty star, Mar guerite Clark, attains one of her great est screen triumphs. The role is one in which every resource and power of the magnetic little star is brought in to effective play and she takes the fullest advantage of her many emo tional opportunities. As the tiny eX- quisite Spanish girl of thousand moods and whimS, who has vowed nev- CT to lose her heart, but who, when finally conquered by the handsome Sebastiano, loves truly and devotedly, Miss Clark is utterly incomparable, and denotes exceedingly well the struggle in the girls heart to main tain a naughty demeanor toward the man she has learned to adore, while longing to yield to the impulse of her love. With her fascinating dark beau ty and charming grace of form and motion, Miss Clark is exceptionally adapted to the role of the dainty little dark-eyed belle of Madrid.

WITHOUT FOOD MEN OR ARMIES
 CANNOT FIGHT"

Every department of the govern ment is actively engaged in carrying out it's portion of the war burden. Secretary Redfield, of the department of commerce, has sent circular let ter to the commercial bodies of all cities, calling attention to the fact that the war in which we are now en- gagged is one of economic resources Secretary Redfield urges that every man and woman help and do their share toward the production of food stuffs. He says:
 Without food men cannot work, nor can armies fight"
 The food supply of the country must be increased and all are urged to CO., operate with the department of agri- culture to increase the crops of the country.
 The Seward chamber of commerce is in receipt of communication and all it's members are urged to take i'm mediate action. 1t is suggested that the women's organization be enlisted to do their share toward the increase of the food supply.
