"SALOME" With THEDA BARA
Will BE SEEN HERE

"Salome," starring Theda Bara will
be the screen attraction at the Classic
next week Wednesday and Thursday.
This is one Of the monster spectacu-
lar photodrama productions of the
season. The grandeur and glory of
regal Jerusalem were recreated in
the Fox studios when "Salome' was
filmed. An exact duplicate of the Holy
City, from the famous Jaffa gate to
the streets and buildings leading to
the kings palace, was built especially
for this colossal production. The CEN
trail tower of the palace rises more
than $50 feet, and on either side are
massive wings, each over 200 feet in
length. Stretching into the distance
are the houses of the ancient capital.
Six months were consumed in filming
this picture and a large sum of money
was expended. Five thousand people
take part in the performance.

TO TIE CATTLE KID
HOG cEE ,SS,v,SS OCT. Is
Pupils of Public Schools to Record
Number and Age of These Farm
Animals in Wisconsin.

A census of hogs and cattle is to be
taken in Wisconsin on Oct. 18th al
the request of the U. S. Food Admin
1stration. This work will be done by
the public schools under the supervi
sion OF the County Superintendent OF
schools and supervising teachers as
sisted by County Food Administrators
and County Agricultural Agents. The
teachers will return the completed
census blanks to the County Superin-
tendents who in turn will mail them
direct to the Wisconsin Division of
the Food Administration at the State
Capitol in Madison.
All the cattle and hogs living on
this date are to be counted and re-
corded by the school children. Partic-
ular care will be taken to get also the
number for the same date last year.
In dividing up the districts among
dlnerent pupils, the teachers must be
sure that no two scholars take the
same farm and that no animals are
recorded twice.
Blanks Of instruction for taking the
census Will be sent to the County Su-
perlntendents for distribution among
all the teachers.
The pupils must enter the number
OF each class of hogs and cattle for
every owner In the proper column of
the report blank and the total at the
bottom of each page
Dairy cattle are to include all ami.
mails that are kept for purposes of
producing milk for human use. Dairy
COWS are all females that have begun
to produce milk, no matter what their
age may be.
All hogs are to be counted, and if
there is any question as to the ages
recorded, those that are planned for
killing within the next four months
should be entered as over six months
old.

States. The treasury department of
the United States in cooperation with
the United States bureau of education.
VIII request every school district from
the Atlantic to the Pacific to arrange
for the celebration of the discovery of
America with an appropriate festival.
The plans made for the observance
or the anniversary Of the discovery of
America by the Liberty loan organiza-
ton as Liberty day are contained in a
letter from L. B. Franklin, director of
war loan organization.
In outlining the plans this letter
states:
There is a logical unity between
both these ideas and the Liberty loan.
When the people of a community re-
count the fruits Of their summers Ia
bor they will naturally ask themselves
what share of them they ought to in
vest In Liberty bonds. When they come
to realize what the discovery of Amer
lea has meant to them personally,
what is has meant for the cause of
freedom and democracy, what it will
mean for the salvation of the world in
the present world tragedy, when they
begin to feel all this, they must of ne
ceSsity say, this is worth investing in
worth fighting for worth making any
sacrifice for.
'To create this state of mind is the
purpose Of celebrating the discovery
of America. 1t is our hope that the
nationwide celebration will stir such
enthusiasm over Americas mission In
the world as to enable each community
to reach its quota by that day. Let
every local community make this it's
goal and on Liberty day announce the
achievement and rejoice over it,"
The 100000 schools in the United
States will receive suggestions for q
Harvest Home festival from the bu-
reau of education. This form of festi-
val is the earliest form of American
celebrations, and it Is thought desira-
BILE to carry the idea over into city life
as we'll as of the country. City and
country communities will celebrate the
day each after it's own fashion, but
the Harvest Home idea will dominate
both.
whatever a cOmmunity's particular
type of product may be, on Liberty
day it's aim should be to reap a harvest
Of dollars for democracy" said Mr.,
Franklin. Son this day we meet, nov
as city people or country people, but
as citizens, all united for the single
purpose of serving the nation by de-
voting part Of our products to Its
needs.
"There Is something vastly inspiring
In the thought of all the local neigh
bOrhoods in the United States meeting
the same day on the basis of citizen
ship with united devotion to the ideals
for which America stands. Morale is
to force as three to One,' said Ma
pOleOn. To mobilize the spirit of Amer
lea Is of paramount Importance. Octo-
Der II furnishes the occasion for eX-
pressing the nations spirit in definite
terms of service to meet the nations
present need.
1.-THE idea Is big. the opportunity Is
great. The time. is short. This should
be made the most successful national
celebration since the war started"

MAKING SORGHUM,
William Edwards a Busy Man These
Autumn Days.

The sorghum syrup season is near
ing it's end and the vicinity of the
sorghum mill operated by William
Edwards has been busy scene of
activity for several weeks. The farm
ers haul their sugar cane to this mill
taken home to be used during the
winter months. The supply this year
is not as great as in former seasons,
but the quality of the syrup is excel
lent. The new method of cooking the
cane juice with steam instead of over
fire as formerly has resulted in pro-
ducing a syrup of most excellent fla
vor and equal to any syrup on the
market

saturday, October II, the annlver-

1t has been the custom in previous
Liberty loan campaigns to select the

suggested by the United States bureau
or education to designate October -

The day will be celebrated through
out the country, and it is proposed to
