dress was THE World Has Ended
Millions Now Living Will Never
Die"
He said: For eighteen centuries
Christians have looked for the end
OF the world to come. The world
means the social and ecclesiastical
order Of things during a stated
period.
THE reign of Christ is beginning.
And II the new world or order Is to
usher in restitution blessings, then
some living now must continue to
live. else there would be no one with
whom to begin restitution"
Mr.. Rutherford declared the soldiers
who die on the battlefields of France

given an opportunity to attain to per-
feet life here on the earth, regardless
Of whether or not they die Christians.

Contracts in February were made

Now. Mr.. Gardener. let US see how
the garden is coming on and what
has been left undone on account Of
bad weather and other things, says
today's bulletin from the National
War Garden Commission of Wash
ington. The spring got hung up some
where this side of the North Pole and
failed to report on schedule time.
although the birds came and the
flowers bloomed as of yore. You
can't garden much without milo
weather and a few warm days thrown
in. 1t may be that you planted some
garden seeds when the early birds
came and they never sprouted. Don't
be discouraged IL that is the case, but
get busy again and give it another
trial. Gardening is something like
gambling with nature, with the
chances in favor Of winning.
Did you get the early peas planted
on time? II not, get the ground ready
now and plant the midseason and late
varieties like Gradus, Champion OF
England. Motifs Excelsior. Telephone
and others. These may go in al
once and they will be usable at diff
ferent times because some take longer
to mature than others. Prepare the
ground in good shape, working in

Moore's Garden-Charlie Chaplin.
A million dollar contract evidently
has a direct effect upon ones artistic
sense. Proof Is to be found at
Moore's Garden Theater the first three
days of this week where "A Dogs
Life" the first comedy made in his
own studio under his own direction, IL
demonstrating the high quality and
the great fund of comedy Charlie
Chaplin Is able to supply when left
to his own devices-and a million dol
lars.
"a Dogs Life Is one long. loud,
lingering laugh, principally as a re-
suit of the resourcefulness of its star
but also, we should say. about 49 per
cent as a result Of the unconscious
humor of a very young and very re-
markable bull terrier pup that plays
with the effectiveness of a veteran
actor. This extraordinary canine does
everything at precisely the right time
in precisely the right way to attain
maximum laughability. When he
should drop peacefully asleep, he
drops; when he should register vicious
anger, he registers vicious anger;
when he should manifest the desola-
ton of heartbroken, youth, he does
that-and he's much too young to hav;
been taught it all, even by a Hagen
beck.
The story which the new comedy
relates Is one in which continuity has
not been lost sight of. and one which
leads through . maze of diverting
complications to q rustic denouement
that is as ridiculous as it Is surpris-
ing.
Rainbow and a Mutt and Jeff car
toon complete the bill which will be
continued through Tuesday. On We'd
nesday and Thursday Margarita
Fischer will be screened in The
