to know. Since the beginning Of agita-
ton for a larger food supply the office has
received many inquiries from people who
want land to cultivate.
Commissioner Tallman has issued the
following letter:
In connection with the movement TO in

an endeavor to formulate definite and spe-
cific data and information a 10 available
|~irrigable lands not now in cultivation for
which there j. an existing water supply
for irrigation purposes. We are led to do
this by reason of the fact that reports
from the field service of this office on ir-
Irrigation projects almost invariably show
that not all of the irrigable lands on the
projects are under cultivation, though the
water supply therefore has been provided.
Since the commencement of agitation for
increased food supply, we have received
many inquiries from people who van land
to cultivate, but a. to private and Carey
Act lands in the West susceptible of i'm
mediately being put into crop, we are un-
able to give them any information suffi-
cicntly specific in character to be Of any
practical use. The information obtained
will be turned over to the federal and state
agencies which may be designated to han
die such matters, where ii will do the most
good.
In the interest Of the country, therefore,
may we ask You to furnish this Office at
once, definite information as to Just what
and how much, if any, land under your

crops the land is best adapted! Accur-
ate descriptions of such lands should be
given by legal subdivisions. or same should
be shown in a like manner on a correct
map, together with the character of the
land in each tract; in fact. full informal

Mlserly Instinct
 Cleverly Portrayed
Human Interest and Realism Secured in Blue Ribbon Fea- ture Tuesday.

A remarkably human characteriza- tion is given to Amos Brandt. the miserly father in "The Dollar and the Law" the Blue Ribbon Feature starring the dimpled player of the Vitagraph Company, Lillian Walker, which is the attraction at the Gem Theater Tuesday.
 This production, which is part of the nationwide campaign for thrift, was written by the internationally fa- nous story-teller, Irwin s. Cobb and directed by Wilfrid North, who has instilled desire to live the role rath- CT than act it into each and every one of his players.
 The miser is seen in the candle-lit room counting his precious hoard and fearful at every sound less some out slider discover his wealth and attempt to steal any part of it.
 From his small secret panel he goes down into deep passage where bags upon bags of gold are piled on top of one another. Here the precipitation streams from his face in his frenzy for fear of detection.
 His bravery which melts before the thief who is drawing his gold pieces from the safe later in the story is masterfully portrayed under the diree- tion of Wilfrid North.
 Amos Brandt's miserly instinct forms the basic principle of the story, and with this strong backbone and Lillian Walker as the star the pro- duction could not fail to be success.

LITTLE TROUBLE EXPECTED
 IN REGISTRATION TOMORROW

Little Rock, June 4.-The federal authorities have shown great activity and thoroughness in providing against anti-registration agitation tomorrow. An effort has been made through the press and otherwise to acquaint every citizen of the state with the provisions of the registration law, and it is be- lieved that there will be no trouble in enforcing it. All who evade, or at tempt to evade registration, within the prescribed ages, will be subject to prosecution, imprisonment, and military service at the end of their term. The United States government which is supreme, does not trife, and will not tolerate disloyalty.
 There have been rumors of anti registration movements, and in few instances arrests have been made for the distribution of Socialist anti-mili- tary propaganda, issued by "con- scientious objectors.' These, how ever, represent a negligible minority, for on every hand all classes and con- ditions of citizens are rallying to the colors, are investing in the Liberty Bonds, assisting in the recruiting, and otherwise aiding in the national crisis.
