with a lineup of three regulars and
two substitutes they were defeated
by the large score of IA to 10.

Supt. C. A. Shively, being called
upon Thursday morning, to give an
account, of himself while in Kansas
City, last week, responded by telling
of the dramatization of "The Man
Without a Country" which he saw
put on by the pupils of the upper
grades of the Irving School of Kan
sas City.
A meeting of the Parent Teachers

A very interesting and instructive
lecture on Boston, accompanied by

old historic places and statues such
as the site of Boston massacre, the
birthplace of Franklin, the home of
Paul Revere, the home of Longfel-
low, and the Bunkerhill Monument,
as we'll as many modern views in the
city were presented. These pictures
explained by one who has lived in
the city a number of years were very
realistic.

The first state embargo on the I'M
portation of plants and trees was
passed this morning, by the Kansas
state chronological commission. The
quarantine prohibits the shipping in
to the state of any pine tree, goose
berry and curant bush. This order
was advised by the federal depart
ment of agricultural which is doing
everything in its power to protect
the Western pine forests from in
lection:
The disease which this embargo is
intended to check is called, "white
pine blister rust, " and has been traced
TO the eastern states and from there
to its original source, one nursery IN
Germany. Notices of the quarantine
have been sent to the postal auth
critics and all common carriers. Tbs
penalty of violation of this order Is
fine of not more than 500.

Embargo in Four States

Similar orders have been issued IN
four other states. Idaho passed such
a resolution March 1, 1916; Wiscon-
sin, June 1, 1916; Montana, July II,
1916; and Oregon, July "a, 1916.
The order approved by the commits
sion here this morning will go into
effect March 10.
'NWhite pine blister rust Is a dis
ease common among the five leafed
pine trees, coming from a fungus
growth on the bark. The fungus
plant IS not carried directly from one
pine tree to another, but must go
through an intermediate stage of
spore production which takes place
on the leaves of the gooseberry and
currant bushes of the district. Then
the spores pro duced from these bush
es are carriedto the leaves of the pine
tree, and the re the fungus growth
starts, workin g its way down the
tree and at the same time girdling
the trunk and eventually killing the
pine.-State Journal.

BILLIE BURKE STAR
 AT STRAND THEATRE
Miss Burke's First Appear ance Under Lasky Contract
 With Charming Vehicle

Billie Burke, starring in The Mysteri- Strand this week.
 In 'The Mysterious Miss Terry" Billie Burke is just as charming, just as fasci- hating and just as captivating al she ever appeared on the stage. And in her first picture play under the new Lasky contract Miss Burke has a vehicle that suits her well.
 Miss Winthrop was a social butterfly who grew very tired of her position. In- cidentally she was a great heiress. So telling the folks and the servants that she is going for a cruise in southern seas. Miss Winthrop robs her own house and takes lodging in medium class boarding house. Here she is known as Miss Terry and soon has the silk counter clerk, the hardware salesman and the striving young journalist at her feet The hard ware salesman secures her a position as cashier in his hardware store, where the thrills of the play are staged. Miss Terry. the silk clerk, and the hardware salesman pull off fake burglary to test the grit of the journalist Thrilling and ridiculous consequences follow. in which the journalist is shot by real burglars and the silk and hardware clerks are arrested by the police as they enter the store to play their little joke.
 The Mysterious Miss Terry should draw packed houses throughout it's show ing at the Strand. It is near perfection in the motion picture art.
 Billie Burke will be followed at the Strand by George M Conan in The Seven Keys to Baldpate," which has it's premiere next Saturday.
