Wednesday, II March. Rose with

Had for breakfast. besides a break
er of steaming java, a large dish of
bacon and eggs, OF which did eat
nine OF the latter, but without much
relish, as they are so cheap. And
bacon, 1t Is a plebeian food. Was it
not only yesterday that Neighbor
Pringle drove over and gave us nine
sides OF bacon. But he is a schemer.
He knew the bacon would spoil on his
hands, as it Is not worth hauling to
market. 1t brings but fifty cents per
hundredweight
We are very weary of bacon and
much we burn in the CRATE of an
evening to encourage the fire in the
green pine logs. 1t is also of value

there are other things l would liefer
have.
To the market for Mistress Peggy,
where / did obtain nine yards of blue
cloth, five dozen wax candles, four
teen pounds of beef meat, brace Of
dressed partridge. two pounds Ct
cheese, a bushel of potatoes and some
sweetmeats with the dollar she gave
me.
Then home with the change, after
stopping at the Royal Lion for several
beakers of fale which further reduced
the change to only twenty cents.
At luncheon l was much wroth to
find eggs upon the table again as well
as boiled fowl, of which | am sur

At supper naught but an eighteen
pound larded roast and a plum pud
ding. which two are my pet diversions.
Mistress Peggy today drove to town
with fifty pounds OF butter and four
teen dozen eggs and returned proudly

To the Royal Lion in the evening to
enjoy several beakers of ale and the
fine roasted turkey, prime cheese, an
chovies with which the barmaid served
use copiously.
Arranged with our butcher to send
me two halves of beef. three hogs and
five dressed sheep for $4.35 to hang
in my cellar.
And SO home and to bed, full of
monotonous food but content with the
ale.
Tomorrow an egg-throwing match
and a barbecue with whole roast OK

of Joline There is nothing placid about either the star or the character, they are both intense, dynamic beings. Joine is a daughter of joy'--a popu- lar model--in the Latin quarter of Paris. She is acceptable as a model for all pictures that Paul Granville, an American artist, paints until he at tempts a Madonna. He realizes that Joline's blase, hardened face lacks the spiritual qualities needed to inspire and guide him in creating so sacred a picture. Joline-pampered and spoiled-with temperamental, inn petuous outburst of indignation and jealousy, refuses to allow any other model to replace her.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

l you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful: Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for. shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut of at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

1eIItaIe Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt wheo all the other muscles are controlled. This you will learn in the eleventh chapter of DarwiA's book. Sometimes, when the face is controlled, as in tho case of natives of India, other muscles are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine declares that in India the judge can tell when native is lying by watch ing his toes. He keeps his face per fectly straight and his eyes express sionless, but his toes begin to wjggse as soon as he begins to lie.

"THE KAISER, BEAST, ;"
 STAYS ANOTHER DAY

"The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, play, which has been exhibited at the Orpheo theatre for the past two days will be exhibited again today This was decided upon in order to give many who have not been able to see the picture opportunity to do so. De- spite the six shows each day, there have been overflow crowds at all eX- cept the morning and early afternoon exhibitions. The same schedule of performances will be followed today.
 The film graphically pictures the tearing up of the famous "scraps of paper" that guaranteed Belgium her rights to peace and happiness by the American when Ambassador Gerard informed his majesty that President Wilson and the American people would no longer tolerate Germany's ruthless naval warfare.
 One of the scenes that always grips the audience is that where the Bel gian blacksmith gets his massive arm around the neck of his daughters assailant and strangles the brute. Elmo Lincoln, who takes the role of the blacksmith, is not abnormally tall or bulky, but the muscles of his shoul- ders and chest stand out like rivet of steel and when he wraps that good right arm around the neck of Ger man officer and slowly squeezes him to death, you are reminded of nothing so much as some giant python strang- ling it's prey.
 At the performances last night were numerous visitors from Sheri- dan, Sherill, Grady and other points in this section.

rank high as q corn-consuming nation.
The smaller countries Of South Amer
lea consume about all the corn they
produce, for 1t holds an important
place in the dietary Of the native pop
u~lation, especially in Peru, Bolivia and
Ecuador.
In Mexico, corn, in one form or an
other, Is the staple article of diet of
most of the population. So great is
the demand, that although in normal
times Mexico RANKS second to the
United States in acreage and total
yield, its production is insufficient for
home consumption, and several million
bushels are imported annually from
the United States. In a large part of
Mexico corn is the most important az
r%icultural crop and in some sections
two crops a year are grown. Many
distinct types having characters that
adapt them apparently to certain Pc
culiar environments have developed In
Mexico.
In the United States corn is grown
more widely than n other crop. II
Is grown to some extent In every state
In the Union. The acreage in the
United States usually exceeds the com,
bined acreages of wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, and rice. Annual pro-
duction ranges from $780, 00,0 900 to
3,000,000,00 bushels, or slightly ex-
ceeding the combined yields Of the ce-
reals just mentioned. The value is far
in excess of any other crop. With the
possible exception Of cotton, corr is
the most important and irreplaceable
crop in the agriculture of this country.
