STILL Time TO
PLANT IN YOUR
HOME GARDENS

The presence, practically at our
very door, of the enemy submarine
should again arouse every thinking
person to the Importance of food
production. Every peson who has
land available for a practical garden
and who does not either himself plant
it or allow somebody else to plant it,
is by so much aiding the Hun. Any
person who works for a living and
who in his spare time could cultivate
a garden, on land given free, and fails
to do so, is a Stacker. There is yet
plenty of land in various locations
which can be given free by the
Bridgeport Home Garden Commit
tee. If there were no other reason,
self-interest alone should stimulate
every person able to do so to take
part in the Home Garden movement.
There is yet time to plant many of
our most useful vegetables and staple
crops, as can be seen from the chart
below. Bridgeports good people have
supported their government well in
both the Liberty loan and the Red
Cross work. They all know what
President Wilson says about the food
question. The question is are they
producing? We must be more self
sustaining in the future than we have
been in the past. 1t is a vital present
patriotic duty to help produce food,
because what one produces he can
consume The Bridgeport Home Car
dens Committee, the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural College, the, Fairfield
County Agricultural agent and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture are ready to help.
Those who want gardens or who
want helpful advice in regard to
planting, or bulletins on planting

CIPHER Message
On Carrier Pigeon

A wounded carrier pigeon with a
message in cipher fastened to its
right leg and a red celluloid ring
around the other, was picked up yes
terday by Thomas Dalton near his
boathouse on the North river at the
foot of 165th street. The writing was
turned over to the Naval Intelligence
Bureau, which refused last night to
give out any information regarding it..
Dalton examined the paper cylinder
around the birds foot and found that
it was about half an inch wide and
clamped together with two pieces of
metal.
When this paper, which is said to
have been black, was removed, it was
found to inclose another cylinder of
green paper, on which something was
written in cipher. These, with the
tred celluloid band, were taken away
by Mr.. Hoagland of the Naval Intel
ligence Bureau, whose only comment
when he saw the bird was that he
thought it was a foreign one.

EMPIRE

Mr., Mrs. and Miss Photoplaygoer:
We beg leave to call your attention
to-the presentation at the Empire
theatre today and tomorrow of
Loves Conquest" a superb new
superb Paramount photoplay, star
ring the famous beauty, diva and
screen favorite, Nine. Lima Cavalier,
who scored a prodigious success some
time ago in 1.-THE Eternal Temp
tress."
In this great production, which is
said by experts to be most stupen-
dous insofar as the number of peo-
pie employed therein and the massive
ness of the various sets are concern
ed, Nine. Cavalieri wears jewels worth
a kings ransom, and the richest
Athenian costumes of the early six
teenth century are seen in vast va
riety.
The photopay is based upon the
celebrated play "Gismonda," writ
ten by Victorien Sardou, the famous
French playwright, and the story is
one of absorbing dramatic action and
intense heart appeal. Nine. Cayalie-
ri appears in the role of an Athenian

by her in the shadow of the Cross to
wed the plebeian who saved her child
from a ferocious lion, but who later
becomes the bride of a common hunts
man, whose bravery has won her love
There is not a moment in the de-
velepment of this great story which is
not vibrant with human interest and
touching appeal to the emotions. The
lion which recently attacked his train
er and all but killed him, will be seer
in a thrilling episode. This is an un.
usual photoplay which we cheerfully
recommend to all our patrons.
We are convinced that you will fine
this picture one of unusual interest
and we extend to you hearty invita-
ton to attend it's first showing in thi
city.

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLI'S

ALA Moscova & Company is the most
wonderful dancing act that ever has
been conceived. 1t is destined to be
come the most famous in name of any
the world has seen. Never before in
the history of dance has such clear
Interpretation been given to the clas-
sic.
Although Oriental Interpretation has
been made famous by some of the
greatest women dancers, it has re-
manned for ALA Moskova to give sin
uosity of the human body in all its
beauty and yet with the wierd char
acteristtcs of ancient hieroglyphics.
with her company of male and fe-
male dancers, there has been con-
ceived and executed before the star
tied eyes of audiences some of the
most sumptuosly voluptuous sights
and scenes that the oriental mind ever
has symbolized.
But ALA Moskova Is not the whole
show at Polls, for there has been ar
ranged an augmented program of
photoplay and vaudeville excellence
to attract the summer pleasure seeker.
On the screen three startlingly SEN
sational features are offered. The
showing the German propaganda and
spy work that preceded the burning
of Hopewell, Va, which has been de-
stroyed in replica with wonderful
fidelity.
In five startlingly dramatic reels
Mae Murray sldps through roman
tic scenario entitled "The Brides
Awakening" which is modern in its
theme and has a gripping appeal to
the public. Hearst-Pathe News, al
ways foremost in the battlefield, again
presents views of the American and
French fighting fronts.
On the vaudeville stage Claude and
Marion Cleveland, a clever pair, offer
a skit of 1aughable qualities. The
Skating Bear gives an exhibition OF
ursine sagacity. Jessie Haywood &
Company, offering "Aircastle Kate
a comedy sketch Of theatrical envi-
ronment, is seductive in its hilarity.
Vincent & Kelly offer an unusually
comic song and talking act with a
surprise for all.
