objected to the bill on the ground that
1t would upset their schedules and
prove costly to the roads, which would
have to revise all of their literature
and time cards.
Friends of the proposed legislation
believe that Director General McAdoo
will favor the daylight saving plan,
for 1t will help him in operating the
unified roads.
Representative Borland of Missouri
will call before the interstate and for

the cabinet, prominent business men
from all sections Of the country, Off
Gals of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, and others prominent in
government and industrial affairs to
testify as to the real value Of this

BESSIE BARRISCALE IN "ROSE o.
PARADISE"

A brand new characterization is
promised by Bessie Barriscale when
she comes today to the Pastime Thea
ter in her seven-act adaptation OF
Grace Miller Whites popular Ameri-
can novel, Rose o. Paradise which
is her most recent Paralta Play.
"Rose o. Paradise" was recognized
among the best sellers" upon its pub
LEGATION several years ago, and it is
declared to have taken its place
alongside "Tess of the Storm Coun-
try" by the same authoress, as one of
the most delightful pieces of MARIA
tive of the past decade. 1t is one of
those ingratiating tales that holds the
interest from the start, and enthralls
with its vivid characterizations.
The story concerns the adventures
of a little optimist, jimmy Singleton,
rightful heiress to a fortune left by
her mother, but made victim of a
chain of unpleasant circumstances by
her scheming uncle. jimmy is sent by
her dying fatheh to live with LATE
Grandoken, an old cobbler, who was
formerly gardener in the employ of
the family. On the way, she meets
Theodore King, a wealthy and up
right man, who lives in the vicinity of
the cobbler's shop, and who is fasci-
mated by the little girl.
Later, jimmy is annoyed by Mauld-
ing Bates, the town bully, who per-
sists in his unwelcome attentions, UNI
til one day he is soundly thrashed by
King. Morse, Jinny's uncle, learning
of Bates grudge against King and
the girl, conspires with him to get
them out of the way, in order that he
may secure complete possession of
Jinny's inheritance But Bates be-
comes embroiled in controversy
with Morse, and, for revenge, goes to
the cobbler to inform him of Morse's
plan. Morse follows him there and
shoots him. He then kidnaps jimmy
and conceals her in a deserted house.
The cobbler is arrested for the
crime and jimmy makes her escape
just in time to reach the court room
to save the old cobbler and to learn
of Kings great love for her.
, In the role of jimmy Bessie Barris-
Gale has added another triumph to her
already long list of immortal screen
Characterization. The part offers her
countless opportunities to score heav-
lily, not alone with her emotional pow
ers, but with her effervescent person.
ality as we'll She has invested the
story with all the charm and sweet
ness that has won for her such a host

FARM BUREAUS FIGHT GRAIN
DESTROYERS

Five per cent of Idaho's grain crops
has been saved to feed our Army and
our allies through a campaign against
squirrels carried on by the farm bu-
reaus and the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in 20 counties in the southeastern
part of the State. At an original out
lay of $40, one member of the farm
bureau in Bingham county brought to
the farm bureau Office 2,4S7 squirrel
tans. He received $49.74 as a bounty
for this piece of war work. In Bear
Lake County 10000 squirrel tails
were presented for bounty claims this
following the farm bureau campaign.
In Bonneville county farmer cover
ed his field with the poison, walked
back over it in less than an hour from
the time he started, and counted 27S
squirrels, 6 rabbits, 10 rock chucks,
and food many field mice which had
already been killed Control work
carried on on one or two farms is of
little avail, because the squirrels from
neighboring farms soon fill up the
depleted ranks of their comrades. 1t
is only when the undertaking is coun-
ty wide and State wide that it is sue
cessful. Such campaikns have been
made possible by the farmers cooper
alton secured by the farm bureaus.
