STORY OF PARTED LOVERS
ADMIRABLY TOLD IN FILM

The sweetest love story ever told
is the subject of the new William
Fox master film production which
stars Theda Bara. Shekespeare's
immortal "Romeo and Juliet" por-
trayed by a cast of well-known ar
lists, with a setting more sumptuous
and magnificent than anything yet
done in moving pictures, furnishes
Miss Bara the first opportunity she
has had for portraying the young
girl whose heart overflows with JOY
and enthusiasm.
In the role of Romeo, Harry
billiard is superbly cast. He plays
admirably the young lover who can
not brook separation from his wife,
even in death.
The story of the play tells how
two lovers are married secretly, be-
cause Of a feud which has long ex-
listed between their families. Just
after the ceremony, Romeo becomes
embroiled in a duel with Tybalt
yJohn Webb Dillion), cousin OF JUL
let. and kills him. The result is that
! the bridegroom is banished from
Verona.
Juliet's father tries to force her
to marry Count Paris (Einar Lin
DEM, and the girl, in desperation
takes a heavy sleeping potion
which makes her parents think hel
dead. Romeo also gets tidings OF
the supposed death of his wife, anc
hurries back to Verona.
There, in the tomb Of the Capu
let's, he takes poison, and falls deac
besides Juliet's bier. The unhapp!
girl, awakens from the effects Of
the potion, finds him there and kills
herself with his dagger. This won
derful feature will be shown at tn
Evangeline Thursday.

BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES.

Birds are the back yard gardeners
best friends; butterflies are his enc
mics.
Therefore, encourage birds to come
and live in your back yard, and kin
the butterflies.
That pretty butterfly, fitting from
plant to plant, may look innocent
enough. and it is-as long as it re-
mains butterfly, but when it pro
duces an army of caterpillars which
will prey upon the leaves of many
of your vegetable plants, taking the
leaves and preventing the plants
from taking plant food out of the
air.
Birds are useful because they kill
insects. Without birds countrys
food production would be small.
Feed them, supply them with fresh
water often, and teach your children
that birds are our friends.
II you have cat, make sure that
it doesn't chase birds away, even if
you have to sacrifice all nine of the
cats lives.
This year the nation needs food
all the food you and every other pa
triotic citizen can grow. BY the same
token it needs birds, and doesn't
need butterflies.
There never was a time when this
country had less use for the butterfly
those with wings and those inane
humans "who toll not" but live in
silks and limousines.

founced upon them, because it is
within their possibilities, and the
need is well justified. r@
It is clear that the party which in

trays constitutionism of civic rights

other two are supported, and without
which they could not continue; we
will do we'll to contriye its defeat.

WASHINGTON. April lo.-rhe secre-
tary OF agriculture, d, +. Huston, IS
sued the following statement:
THE Importance To the nation OF a
generously adequate food supply for
the coming year cannot be oVer-em-
phasized in view Of the economic
problems which may arise as result
OF the entrance OF the United States
into the war. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements.
Many millions OF people across the
seas. as we'll as our own people. must
rely in large part upon the products
OF our fields and ranges. This STU
alton will continue to exist even
though hostilities should end unex-
pectedly soon. since European pro-
duction cannot be restored lmmedl-
atelv to its normal basis. RecOgnl-
ton OF the fact that the world at
large, as we'll as our own consumers,
must rely more strongly on American
farmers this year than ever before
should encourage them to strive to
the utmost to meet these urgent
needs.
Increase Yields.
ut is obvious that the greatest and
most important service that is re-
quired of our agriculture under ex-
listing conditions is an enlarged pro-
duction of the staple food crops. Be-
cause of the shortage Of such crops
practically throughout the world
there is no risk in the near future Of
excessive production such as some
times has resulted in unremunerative
prices to producers. This is particu-
larly true of the cereals and of peas,
beans, cowpeas, sOybeans and buck
wheat. In view of the world scarcity
of food, there is hardly possibility
that the production of these crops by
the farmers of the United States can
be too great this year. and there is
abundant reason to expect generous
price returns for all available sur
plus.
Increase Production.
"Thc most effective step that may
be taken to increase the production or
these crops is to enlarge the acreage
devoted to them in the regions where
they are grown habitually. This ex-
pansion Of acreage should be to the
limit permitted by available good
seed, labor, and equipment. The plac-
ing of too great emphasis on produc-
ton in new regions is inadvisable
since the introduction into a farm OPP
Grafton of crop not usually grown
frequently involves practical difficult
ties not easily fOreseen nor quickly
surmountable.
Wheat Situation Serious.

real. Where winter wheat has been
damaged sufficiently to justify the
abandonment Of fields, it should by
all means be replaced by spring
planted food crops, preferably small
grains or corn. The acreage OF Win
ter wheat seeded last fall is estimated
at 4O,08O,O00, or only two per cent
above that of the preceding year &c.,
$4,000 acres), and about one-eighth
more than the average for the pre-
ceding five-year period (35,724 ,O00).
The condition of this crop, as shown
by the department in its report Of
April 7, is more than Is per cent be-
low the average condition April for
the past 10 years. This condition
forecasts production this year near
" 100000 bushels less than that OF
1916 and 243,OOO, 900 bushels less than
the crop of 1916.
Climatic requirements of spring
wheat during the last few weeks Of
it's growth render it more risky
crop than others to plant outside the
areas in which it's production has
been proved to be successful, so that
it is not recommended for regions
| where oats or corn will be more GER
tain to produce satisfactory yields.
! In the northern spring-wheat states,
| however, where old ground has been
reserved for fax and seed wheat is
available, flax ground may well be
| sown with spring wheat and new
| land broken for flax where such land
is available. In the Pacific North
! west, where the seed supply of we'll
| adapted varieties is adequate, con-
| siderably increased acreage Of spring
! wheat appears probable.
Duty Of Farmers.
"The duty of the individual farmer
at this time is to increas ehis produce
I ton, particularly OF food crops. If he
has control of tillable land not in use
or money lying idle, or labor unem-
ployed-he should extend his opera
tons so as to employ those resources
to the fullest extent. This does not
mean that he should rob his land,
waste his capital, or expend his labor
fruitlessly but that by wise planning
and earnest effort he should turn out
greater quantity of food crops than
ever before. He will not lose by it;
and he will perform an important
service in supporting his country in
the task that lies before it. The agri-
cultural sufficiently of nation is not
attained unless as the units which
compose it are efficient. Those agri-
cultural workers who produce, con-
serve and market wisely will help to-
ward the achievement of national az
ricultural sufficiency, and thus will
perform valuable service for the ma
tiOn." az Inn af,d.'

SHOULD PROVIDE.

Every American who enlists either
in the army or navy in the war
against Germany should know when
he does 50 that his family's financial
obligations are automatically assum'
ed by the government.
It should make no difference
whether these obligations run to De
pendent father and mother, or de-
pendent wife and children. 1t should
make no difference whether the en-
listment is voluntary or compulsory.
The government has the right not
only to ask, but to demand, that every
man do his duty. But it has no moral
right either to ask or demand that
men enlist TO fight for their country
unless at the same time it makes am
ple provision for the support of those
who thus are deprived of their bread
winners.
Whether this provision is IN the
form of wages paid TO the soldier and
sailor, thus enabling them to con-
tinue to support their families, or
whether it is in the form Of direct
payments by the government to the
families is merely matter of detail.
The important consideration is that
the disgraceful situation which eX-
listed when the militia was serving
on the Mexican border be not repeat
ed during the war with Germany.
The recollection OF what occurred
during those months must be painful
to every decent man.
The families of thousands Of men
who went to the front were nothing
more nor less than objects of charity.
TO be sure, when their plight was
discovered charitably disposed per-
sons willingly contributed for their
support.
But that there should have been ne.
cessity; that self-respecting wives OF
soldiers who had volunteered to fight,
If need be to die for their country, /
should have been put in the humiliat--
ing position of having to ask or even
accept charity was terrible retec-
ton on the government and the peo-
pie who permitted it.
The war with Germany may very
we'll mean millions of Americans be.
tween IS and As years under arms
before the final victory.
The vast majority of these men will
be drawn from the small income class
who have been able to save little, |
if anything, for the proverbial rainy
day.
The government should be as gen,
erous in providing for the care of de.
pendents of these men as it will and
must be in providing for the imple-
ments OF war with which they are to
fight
And such provision must have no
flavor Of charity.
1t should be written into every sol
dier's contract as matter Of right
and justice.

When Freedom, from her mountain

She tore the azure robe OF night,
And set the stars OF glory there!
She mingled with it's gorgeous dyes

Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle'bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand

EVERYONE CAN HELP.

1t is impossible to put too much
emphasis upon the necessity for food
saving by everyone during the war
Food is going to play as important
q part, if not more important part
in the war than guns and ammuni
ton.
The saving of food is very largely
an individual problem.
In the final analysis it is up to the
women Of the nation. ....
Every woman should do her part in
the governments campaign to in.
crease and conserve the nations food
supplies.
The food necessities of all the ma
tions with which we are allied in
war against Germany are very great.
The people of America must save
every pound of food that self-imposed
rigid economy makes possible to the
end that there be the greatest posi-
BILE surplus for shipment to our hard
pressed allies.
Do not make the mistake of con-
fusing the food problem with the fin
ancial problem.
You have no more moral right to
waste food simply because you can
afford to do so than has your small
income neighbOr.
1t is not a question Of saving food
for the moneys sake. II must be
