~PAY ME!- COMING WITH
DOROTHY PHILLIPS AS STAR

PAY Me" the five reel feature pro-
duction of Jewel Productions, Inc,
stars beautiful Dorothy Phillips, who
was featured in "Hell Morgan's Girl".
The success of "Pay Me" following
so closely on that previous success
has been largely commented upon
1t is a tremendous production with
beautiful exteriors, and some of the
biggest sets ever built for a picture
It's story is of gripping intensity, with
a complicated plot which is yet, by
virtue of expert direction, as clear
as day to the spectator; a cast which
handles it's task with supreme au-
thority, headed by one of the stars
of the first magnitude, whose popu-
larity has leaped during the last
year; these are the leading merits OF
the latest of the big photoplays that
have been shown on Broadway.
''Pay Me" was unanimously approx
ed by the entire New York and Chi
cago press and it comes to the Isis
theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday
with an all star cast headed by Dor
othy Phillips.

last years. The seed wheat problem
has been solved. a large acreage be-
ing sOwn, with much of il up in fine
stand The potato crop shows a 40
per cent increase. The highest record
for livestock ever made for any week
in any market in the world was made
in Kansas City in the week ending
October IS, the local market receiv-
ing more than 10000 cattle and
calves. With increases in other mar
kets, the district showed a p per
cent in crease in September over last
year for the same month. The dis
astrOus stOckyard fire halted bust
ness only temporarily.
The oil production from Oklahoma
is not so promising, but Kansas pro-
duced five times her output of last
year, and the Wyoming fields are re-
ported more satisfactory.
Cantonments in Texas has given
an unprecedented boom there to the
nearby territory. Business of all
classes in the Dallas district is I'M
usually heavy Retail houses, rail
roads and trolley companies are par
ticipating particularly in the in
creased prosperity. The peanut and
rice crops are adding to the districts

In the San Francisco district strikes
have disturbed conditions in the San

Columbia River. and the 1. w. w. has
been a disrupting element in Arizona
Strikes also have hampered the lum-
Der industry, but in all cases bust
ness now has been resumed. The
harvest has been good, particularly in
peaches, which exceeded last years
crop by 1,3OO,O 900 bushels. The apple
crop, too, exceeds last years. The
oil yield has increased and the sal
mon pack will show an extraordinary
total.
The reserve district with Cleveland
as its centre shows an encouraging
| readjustment in business life from
peace to war conditions, the Govern
ment needs absorbing an increasing
amount of the industrial output. La
Dor disturbances have shut down some
pottery works around Wheeling, bu
the region thereabOut is running gen
orally to capacity. Agricultural com
munities were never in so prosper
GUS a condition.
Reports from the Richmond reserve
district show unusually good times
The corn crop is much larger, tobac
co is selling at unprecedented prices
cotton brings more than twenty-five
cents a pound, and farmers are bet
ter supplied with money, than eve
before. This has been reflected il
unprecedented deposits in the banks

prosperous level of activity in all
lines except in new construction.
The automobile industry is eXerting
an untoward influence in the Middle
West, but one that is being adjusted
as rapidly as possible. There is
falling off in the demand for plea
sure cars in the Chicago district, but
the manufacturers are turning their
attention to trucks. The high price
of merchandise is beginning to cut
down the dry goods sales, but the
volume of business in money remains
satisfactory. Grain is moving in from
the country, but the farmers are
holding oats and corn for a stronger
market. The release of these stocks
is likely to cause an over-supply in
the spring, with a resultant fall in
prices.
The demand for military wrist
watches has increased the watch
trade generally, and piano manufac-
turers also report an excellent bust
ness, no doubt due to the enhanced
popular interest in singing, brought
about by the training camp sing
songs and the community chorus
campaigns.
In ST. Louis, with few exceptions,
business is at a high level, the ex-
ception being affected by the labor
market and the scarcity of raw ma
Je1ldlS. OTQeIS are
large factor in the activity there, the
influence extending even to the de
partment stores and other retail
trade. The cotton crop, however, is
likely to be reduced considerably be
cause of frost in the south. The
forecast for the tobacco crop in Ken
lucky and Tennessee is for a yielc
as great as that of 1916, above the
five-year average. The coal situation
| is threatened by the cOlliery strikes
, in Illinois.
In the Minneapolis reserve distric
the crops in the west have beer
short but the 1917 harvest there has
brought more money to the formers
than ever before, and the profits have
been large, especially in the eastern

Older Boys Conference
for Southern Idaho
VIII Meet in Twin Falls, Dec. 18th,
18th and 18th, Under Direction the
Interstate Executive Committee Y.
VI. c. A. of Oregon and Idaho.

With the conference on a war basis
taking as it's theme, THE Challenge Of
War" other state organizations have
felt the great need of such a confer
ence and are throwing their influence
most heartily in the promotion plans.
The Boys Working Reserve, U. S. A,
under the leadership of Harvey ALL
red, state Director the State Sunday
School Association, through Mrs. L.
NJ Ormsby, general secretary, and the
State Department of Education with
Superintendent Ethel e. Redfield, are
all cooperating magnificently, with
Interstate Y. M. G. A. committee to
bring together at Twin Falls on De-
cember 14th, the strongest group of
high school boy leaders that has ever
gathered in Idaho. The powerful in
fluence of these boys returning to
their homes after the conference,
should be felt for months.
A letter to the TIMES from Mr..
Carlyle T. Pickett, one of our own boys
who is the secretary of the Southern
Idaho conference, calls attention to the
fact that like gatherings will be held,
for western Oregon at Eugene, and
for eastern Oregon at La Grande, both
previous to the one to be held here
He also asks, with regard to the Twin
Falls meeting, that special attention
be called to the following:
l."See CnaC every organization en-
titled to representation selects its full
quota of delegates.
2.-Where necessary, raise money to
supplement the boys savings so that
all chosen may be able to attend.
Select at least one adult leader
who will attend the conference with
the boys of each delegation.
Each organization of boys, especial
ly including high schools and Sunday
schools is entitled to send three dele
gates.

Not few city residents are said to be

1t is contended that speed limits"
prescribed by law cannot be enforced
generally and that the only way that
automobiles can be stopped from rae
ing through the country roads and
city streets at dangerous rates of
speed is to limit their capacity for
rapid travel.

Special Policemen
 Not Available For
 Steady Duty, Dropped

Impelled by the present crisis and the probability that in event of an actual declaration of war by America. scenes of violence might be enacted in the streets of Bridgeport, the police board last night at their meeting dropped from the official roster eight special policemen, who stated they were not available for duty at any hour of the day or night,
 It is the intention of the police board to so arrange the force that ev- cry man, regular or special policemen, can be called to duty at any hour, When the reports of German plots to damage munition works were first made public in this country the board prohibited all members leaving the city without the sanction of superior officers.
 Each member of the department filed his address and telephone num- ber, or number of the nearest phone by which he could be reached with the This action was taken in order that they could be called with the greatest alacrity. The special policemen who were dropped because they stated they could not do duty a. any time follow:
 John Hamilton, John Hoagland, Frank Decker, George Adamchak, Frank Tyrrell, George Goesinger, Clark Botsford and J. B. Lockwood.

IT WAS TURN ABOUT. 5

After the Farmer Got Through the
 Blacksmith Had His Say.
 While the Village blacksmith toiled manfully over the old farmers plow- share the owner of the share recounted at some length the wonderful success he had had with three filters of pigs he had marketed that day.
 Them pigs were less than eight months old," the farmer ran on, '4and they brought me 10 cents pound, or little more than $4OO. Why, few years ago those same pigs would have brought me only half as much. I tell you, the farmer IS having his harvest now"
 The smith, having finished sharpen ing the share, handed 1t to his custom CT. From we'll worn purse the farm CT took two dimes, the usual price for the job, and dropped them into the smiths hand. <
 "You'n have to come again." said the smith, still holding the money in his outstretched palm. T charge 90 cents since the first of the year for sharpen ing that size blow"
 why, how now?' the farmer ex- claimed testify. That's an outrage. Why have you raised the price on me?'
 ITO buy some of that high priced pork you were tellin' me about" was the smiths calm reply-Youth's Com panion.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The drive at Storrs continues Tn the nineteenth week of the contest the hens laid total of S944 eggs which isy10O better than for preceding week i; more than 200 better than for the cor responding week last year. Not only this but A. F. Robinson's pen of White Leghorns from Calvertoh, N. Y., that won first honors for the week with a yield of B eggs have set up the highest standard yet reached by any of the pens in the current competi- tfon.
 Four pens Of Rhode Island Reds from four New England states tied for second place for the week with . 50 eggs each. These four pens were sent to the contest by Pequot Poultry Farm. Southport, Conn. A. w. Ru- mery, DanviIle, N. H., A. Allan, Jr., Newport, R. T.. and Pinecrest Orch ards. Groton, Mass. Merritt M c1arK's pen of Barred Rocks from Brookfield Center, Conn, Colonial Farms Reds from Temple, N. H, and Jacob E. Jansen's pen of the same breed from North Haven, Conn, all tied for third place with 4s eggs each.
 During the season of high egg yields 1t is expected by poultrymen that there will be of course, more soft shelled eggs, more inverted oviducts, more eggs carrying blood spots and other accidents SOL to speak of this sort. There is apparently no rem edy for blood spots. The only thing that,can be done to protect the house wife is candlinE either by the produc CT, the groceryman or the egg man before the eggs are finally delivered to the consumer The management Of the contest candled last week over (, 1000 fresh infertile eggs and found in these s1 eggs that contained blood 6potS or just about per cent.

The new Hell Gate bridge, a single 1000 foot span, and the newly con- structed New York Connecting Rail- road, linking the Pennsylvania and New York, New Haven and Hartford systems and making possible an all rail route via New York from the New England states to the south and west, were dedicated to the public ser vice.
 The first train to pass over the six miles of four track elevated con- meeting railroad and the mammoth bridge extending, from Long Island to the Bronx left the Pennsylvania station. Besides officials, it bore Gustav Lindentha1, designer of the bridge, who formally turned it and the railroad over to Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania.
 A. J. County, vice president of the railroad, opened the dedication cere- monies at the Bronx end of the bridge. After the structure had been formal ly rendered by MT. Lindenthal, MT. Req said:

WASTEFUL AMERICA.
10 FrugaIity Practically Lost Art In
 This Country2

y
 We are undoubtedly the most waste ful people in the world In America frugality is almost lost art. Count less men and women are actually suf- fering, both physically and mentally, because they do not know how to stop waste in their own homes.
 Waste is a. devastating thing. It goes on under our eyes; 1t goes on while we sleep-it is always going on. There is as much difference between honest wear and tear and waste as there is between an honest man and a thief. We waste our time, our money, our food.
 In a household about S5 per cent of the heat from the furnace is wasted. Our children take more than they can eat and waste the rest But before we correct them we should look at our own plates. The amount of gas vast ed in jets unnecessarily kept burning in a single day all over the United States would, if we could compute 1t, be 8 staggering indictment of our folly.
 The American business man goes on the principle that it is easier for him to make more money to pay for the waste in his home than it is to '.waste'' his time in trying to stop 1t. His wife is unconsciously influenced by his ex- ample.
 What can we do. about it? Some thing, anyway. We can talk about it, gesticulate about it, think about it and make up our minds right now to f1gh 1t in every way possible.

other words if the eggs are not tested the housewife need not be surprised at getting on the average one egg o11t of each four dozen that contains a. drop or two of blood. The explana- ton is simply this: the envelope which encloses the yolk while it is attached to the ovary sometimes splits a little prematurely, in which case there is a tiny hemorrhage, just a drop or two of blood that goes along with the yolk and is enclosed in the shell.
