 While like all musical comedies, in that 1t is not overburdened with any great amount of plot it having been written for laughing purposes only, the book contains many bright lines and funny situations, and the score in- cludes at least 20 distinct song hits, it must be said that The Beauty shop is one of the most elaborately mounted and extravagantly costumed attrac- tions taking the road this season.

DAIRY PRODUCTS IN DEMAND

The transfer of about 35, ,00O
acres of alfalfa and grass pas
turage within the Salt River val
ley, to use in growing of cotton,
has had a serious effect upon the
dairy industry in that locality.
Another factor is the keen de-
mand known for forage for
drought.stricken Texas and for
the army camps. The Salt River
valley supplies most of the but.
ter used in Arizona and the sup.
ply of late has hardly been equal
to the demand. In addition, the
milk condensing plant at Tempe

outlet for the milk of the valleys

WAR TIME CONSTRUCTION

Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker who is also Chairman OF
the Council of National Defense,
has had some il teresting CORE
spondence with the chairman of
the Indiana State Council over
the question whether improve
ments. public or otherwise, which
Involve large construction work,
should be started during the war.
The Secretary has answered very
definitely, as follows:
Every effort that this country
is capable of making should be
applied to bring the war to a
speedy and successful conclusion.
The resources OF the country in
a general way may be said to
consist of men, money and ma
terial, and during the period OF
the war any new enterprise or
undertaking should be tried and
justified by the test: Will the
men, money and material so ap-
piled best contribute in this way
to the winning of the war?
New enterprises which are
not fundamental to the efficient
operation of the country's nee
essary activities should not be
undertaken. This will not result
adversely upon business or con.
ditions of employment, because
every man and every resource
will be needed during the war.
All effort should be centered tt
help win the war;"

We MUST BE PATRIOTIC

The Illinois Council of Defense
has issued call for more fervent
patriotic service. 1t tells:
"The time has come for a roll

There is no middle ground; he
who is not with U. S. and for u.
S.. is against U. s.
"Luke-warm patriotism does
not go; it must be of the real
true-blue, through-and-through
fiery kind that characterizes the
battle front.
ANY act that means loss, suf-
fering and death to American
soldiers, is war on us. Every
breath or voice that lacks in
fervor, patriotism and support of
our boys and the flag to the
limit, is objectionable, criminal
TREASON.
IF punishment, swift, sure
and vigorous, is imposed on those
who oppose the draft. upon those
who oppose or interfere with the
conduct of war preparations, up
on those who speak and work
against the flag, belittle our
allies and justify Germany, they
cannot complain.

defense of liberty and justice.

BIRTH OF A NATION
Great Photo-Play Comes to
Brier's Hall, Friday,
November I'd

In his riever-to-be-f forgotten
spectacle, "The Birth of a Ma
tion." which is scheduled for
presentation at Brier's Hall, Fri
day, November I'd, d. W. Grit
fifth, the worlds master-producer,
has painted the grim tragedy of
war in the livid colors it deserves.
1t is a thrilling and awe-inspir-
ing revisitation of war war in
all it's cruelties; we behold not
only the tragedy on the field of
battle, where fall the dead and
dying, but in the home, where
wait the aged parents and little
brother and sister, or daughter
or son, for the message that too
often comes telling that the dear
one has died for the flag the
stars and stripes, or the banner
of blue with the single star.
On goes the story. 1t pictures
the departing of the boy from
home me-gay, light-hearted, happy.
1t shows him dying under the
fire of the enemy in the miles of
flame-streaked trenches, over
which bursting shells carry death
to the little force so gallantly
defending the line of earthworks,
and over which shrek the dead
ly shrapnel.
1t is all there the desperate
defense, the determined assault,
the fierce charge, the disasterous
retreat THE field covered with
the dead, as men in gray and
blue fall by scores and hundreds.
Daylight fades, and still the
fight goes on. The scene is
illuminated by bursting shells.

NEW MODEL MAXWELL

The new model Maxwell tour
ing car made it's debut on the
streets a few days ago and
embodies all the requisites of the
up-to-date automobile. The car
has wonderful lines and a new
type steam line body. The
wheel-base has been heightened
to 100 inches and the rear springs
heightened to so inches, being of
the underslung semi-elliptic type
and is considered the last word
in easy riding construction.
The chassis has a 6-inch channel
frame of enormous strength. the
running boards are wider and TO
offset the appearance of the car,
full crown one-piece tenders are
used. This type of tenders ap-
pears only on cars selling at
81, 500. 90 and over.
A brand new feature of the
Maxwell is an automatic lock on
the starter pedal, which prevents
stripping OF flywnees S, as the
Ssar,er cannot be engaged while
the motor is running. An extra
demountable wheel is Included in
the equipment, making a COM
pletely equipped car in every
sense of the word.
How a car can be produced at
the price the Maxwell sells for,
embodying the best in motor car
construction, has been the topic
of much discussion along auto
mobile row. w. J. La Casse,
Pacific Coast Supervisor of the
Maxwell Motor Co., with head
quarters at San Francisco, IN
speaking of this latest Maxwell
product, says: 1T is just the
car we have been waiting for and
is the r suit of years of study on
the part of our engineers and
designers to give the public the
car they want at the right price.
Our last years model proved a
tremendous success and we pre-
dict greater success for the pres
ent model, which in my estima-
ton is the greatest motor car
value on the American market"

EAT MORE FISH

The National Food Admins
tration is seeking to have people
use more fish and less beef all over
the nation. The states are to be
urged to modify fishing regula-
tions. originally designed for the
benefit of sportsmen, and to use up
the fish supply, rather than entire
ly exhaust the available supply of
meat. On both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, purse seining is to
be encouraged, hitherto pro-
hibited. The price Of fish in the
large coast cities, no doubt, will
drop to at least one-half.

during the summer. One item
of the demand is the recent or
der for 20. 900 cases Of condensed
milk for use in army camps,
while all surplus for sometime
past is understood to have been
going to Europe.
From the National Food Ad-
ministration have come some
remarkable figures concerning
dairy exports. Before the war,
condensed milk exports averaged
II, 1872, $40 pounds a year; for the
last fiscal year, they reached
66, 087, 213 pounds. Butter ex-
ports jumped from 4,457, l55 to
26, 1856, 092 pounds. Cheese ex-
ports rose from 3,788, ,065 to
66, 087, 2l3 pounds. Possibly sig-
nificant is the fact that Holland
took $40 per cent of the milk
shipped to European neutrals,
and there is little doubt that
Germany profted to some extent.
During the past year the
worlds supply of cattle decreased
by more than $4,000, GOO head,
mainly in England, France and
Germany, and Holland is ex-
pected to sacrifice her herds

HOW TO SECURE A LIBERTY BOND

You are satisfied that i, IS yo-
duty to yourself and you coun
try to buy a Liberty Bond. Now
you want to know just how to
secure one.
Go to any tank, sign the ap-
plication form for the bond of
the value desired. The bonds
are of the following values: $50,
500, $500, $1,000, $1,000 and
$4,000.
Your banker will take your
check for 2 per cent of the
amount of the bond you decide
to purchase. The remaining
payments will be made as fol-
lows: 18 per cent on November
Is. 1917; 40 per cent on December
Is. 1917; 40 per cent on January
Is, 1918.
You can pay in full at the time
of application for any bond up to
the value of 81, 200. if you wish.

 wheat and are equipped with ma chinery for producing the crop. A material increase also is recommei d. ed in most of the areas where the production of oats and corn is heavy since much wheat can be sown to advantage on oat stubLle and in the standing corn or an ground from which the corn crop has been removed for the silo or cut for fodder. In some districts the increase in the acreage could be made larger but this has seemed
 nadvisable for fear of disorgantH- ing crop rotations with injury to crops ill succeeding years. The Ce- tailed recommendation resultil lg from the joint consideration given to the subject by the federal de- partment of agriculture and by state officials are shown in the accompanying table.
 BASIS OF INCREASED ACREAGE.
 Since the acreages sown last fall are fresh in the memory of farmers, the sowings suggested for this year are compared with those of 1916. For Kansas, where more than ole- fifth of the winter wheat of the country was sown in 1916 and a campaign for an increase already is under way, an increase of more than million acres, or one-seventh of the total increase, is recommend ed. Ohio is asked for one and one tenth million acres over last years sowings This is considered possi ole and desirable by the agricultural leaders of the state. Because of available land in the state, Okla homa is asked to increase the acre. age one-fourth, amounting to more than S00,000 acres. Indiana and Illinois are each asked to increase their acreage by somewhat more than half million acres, thereby eoualing what they have sown in the recent past. Oregon, because of the abnormally low acreage so|n last fall, is asked to increase the acreage this fall by one-quarter mil lion acres, or 50 per cent. These six states-Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma,
The weekly soliphone., 1917-08-09

Indiana, Illinois and Oregon in which nearly one-half of the win ter wheat was sOwn last fall, are asked to furnish considerably more than one-half of the increase planned for this fall. Their aer- cultural leaders think it is possible and are taking the necessary steps to see that it is done.
 The largest percentage increases are requested in some of the south ern states. Mississippi leads with 455 per cent increase, and Georgia comes next with 100 per cent in crease. Alabama is asked for 30 per cent increase; Arkansas for 37 per cent, and South Carolina for 37 per cent. These southern states are anxious to incpease their acreages by this amount to safeguard their own food supply. The increase in actual acreas, however, is com paratively small in each of these cases.
