"The Ne'er-Do-Well." by Rex
Beach, the Selig spectacular drama
filmed by the Selig Polyscope Com
pany, features Wheeler Oakman and
Kathlyn Williams and an all-star
cast. The hero is Kirk Anthony,
college graduate, veteran football
player. and, since graduation the
coach of his university team. On the
evening following a football victory,
the last of the season, Kirk and 9th
ers start out to celebrate. Late that
night he finds himself on shipboard,
and when he awakens he is without
money and without baggage. Dur
ing the voyage Kirk becomes ac-
qyainted with woman-a Mrs.
Stephen Cortlandt-whom he learns
to admire very much. She is really
a diplomatic agent of great influence.
One day while Kirk is out hunting
he meets in forest bower, Spanish
girl who is known only as "Chiquita."
He falls desperately in love with her.
and tries vainly to discover her iden-
tity. The story Of his making good,
of his winning Of Chiquita despite
the counter plottings of Mrs. Cort-
landt. of the clearing of his name,
and of the final decisive Intervention
in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin
X. Anthony, is strongly engrossing
and varied by many richly humorous
episodes. Chiquita Is by far the
most charming feminine character
, Rex Beach has drawn. and Kathlyn
Williams as Edith Cortlandt is an ex-
ceedingly convincing and fascinating
type. ''The Ne'er- Do -Well' will be
shown on Sunday at the Star theatre.

The ladies of the Christian Wo.

at the social rooms of the church last
Thursday.
1t was an experience meeting. Each
lady told her experience in earning a
special fund to swell the missionary
offering. One lady said she had been
to the shearing plant and had seen
how easy 1t was done, SO she told her
husband he need not bring man to
shear her half dozen sheep; she
would do it herself, and save the
money. She started in with the first
sheep with the assistance of a friend.

had it sheared after three hours of
hard labor, so she thought she earned
her money.
Some of the ladies took care of
other peoples children while the
parents took in the Portland Rose
Show. They thought they earned
their money, too. Some did wash
ing, some ironed, some sewed, some
stewed. One lady said she shaved
her husbands neck several times.
AS that didn't make enough, she just
charged him up for the other times
In the past, when she had shaved
him.
And charged him a little more

periences, and then followed splen-

New Medical Marvel.

Of all the remarkable medical in
novations, probably the most marvel
Gus is new antiseptic solution per-
fccted after ten years work by DR..
Wilfrcd Fralick of New York; DIR. Os-
car Eckstein of the University of Ber-
lin. and DR.. a. C. Allen Of the Univer-
sty of Chicago.
1t is superior to the famous Carrel-
Dakin solution because, in addition to
everything that preparation can 40, it
can be used on the brain and in the
abdominal cavity and can be injected
directly into the blood without dan
ger.
The last named quality makes it OF
startling significance in the treatment
Of blood poisoning.
While to put the Carrcl-Dakin solu-
ton into the veins of a patient would
mean certain death, the new prepara-
ton, a chlorinatcd solution Of per-
manganate Of potash, can be run d.
rectly into the blood stream without
disturbing anything there except the
evil elements meant to be attacked.

Hedues VS., Fences,

In many parts of the country hedges
are taking the place of fences, and the
change is certainly a desirable one
from the standpoint Of beauty. They
require little, if any, more care than
a fence, and are equally as scrviceable.
OF course, we don't mean that hedges
are more desirable for fields than
fences, but as a surrounding for the
house and yard they are preferable.
There are two general kinds of hardy
hedges, the dcciduOus and evergreen,
but the former is more common in this
country and seems to meet with the
most favor. In planting deciduous
shrubs, trench 4 feet wide and 6
inches deep should be dug the length
Of the row. A drainage should then
be provided Of broken stone and the
bed filled with the best soil it is posi-
bic to obtain. In planting, care should
be taken to follow the direction given
by the nurseryman, SO that when the
shrubs mature they will be close

The Russian Peasants.

The taking over of some of the
cars landed possessions recalls the
fact that Albert J. Beveridge, in his
book "The Russian Advance" pub
lishcd few years ago and in which he
gathered political, social and economic
facts, states that even then the Rus
sian peasant was looking forward Ito
Il second emancipation, giving them
new additions of land absolutely and
without any cost whatever to them
selves" When the peasant ceased to
be a slave he did not comprehend that
he was still not free to use his mas
ter'S tools or to cut from the land
OWnerS'S forests timber for his use.
1.-THE most curious situations" says
Mr.. Bcvcridge, care even yet arising,
growing out Of this inability Of the
peasant to comprehend the obligation
as well as the benefits of his enamel
patton. Liberties are taken by the
Russian peasant with the property Of
u Russian proprietor which would not
be tolerated for an instant by an
American in the same situation. In
all of this there is not the slightest
impcrtincnce, not the least intention
to wrong the landed proprietor. nor the
faintest conception on the part Of the
peasant that there is anything immoral
in what he does. He or his fathers
did the like before, and he just CON
tinues to do the same as matter of
course"

of Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota, in conference at st. Paul,
which met on the call of Governor
Burnquist. The resolution was tele-
graphed to Chairman H. A. Garfield
of the federal price fixing committee
and a delegation Of three was asked
to go to Washington to support it.
The minimum recommended was
adopted following showings that $3.Ol
must be obtained for wheat grown on
500 an acre land and yielding 10
bushels, rated average conditions, if
the farmer is to receive the 10 per
cent profit recognized as a fair return
by the government. Prevailing prices
on other staple commodities were cit
ed also to support the reasonableness
of the recommendation
The government, on the other hand
has no intention of fixing meat prices
This was the rather confusing sta.
tus OF an important phase of the food
situation when Mr.. Hoover left Chi
cago for Washington last night
He is supposed also to have had a
secret conference with packers rep
rcsentatives, but this could not be
confirmed. Ii is known, however, the
packers made formal request for Mr.
Hoover to take charge Of the live
stock inquiry at once.
Ask Tit for Tat.
If the price of wheat is reduced
from So bushcl to So by the govern
ment, farmers Of the northwest will
insist that the price OF coal, iron, cot
ton and sugar and other products gen.
orally be reduced one-third.
This sums up the attitude of repre-
sentatives of farmers of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota.
Resolutions to this effect were
adopted by the conference and sent to
