WEST END

"Over the Top" in nine acts, Vita
graph super-feature founded on Ser
geant Arthur Guy Empey's famous
war book of the same title. has been
booked by Manager Lund of the West
End theatre and will be shown to-
night and tomorrow night.
Sergeant Empey. probably the best
known soldier of all the millions who
have fought in the trenches of France
to stem the tide Of German barbarism,
appears as the star of "Over the Top -
and he is said to enact wildly the
stirring experiences met by the
French and British who held the lines
against the Boshe in the first months
of the war.
cover the Top" the first authentic
reproduction of the drama and trag-
edy that is the war, has been hailed
as one Of the greatest photoplays in
the history of motion pictures, and is
ranked as the foremost of all the
super-production of the screen be-
cause of the personality of the star
and the importance of the play as a
contribution to the historical phase
of the war and it's relation to the war
work of the United States. ---. .

PLAZA

A vaudeville bill of unadulterated
merit was given inaugural presenta-
ton at the Plaza yesterday before
capacity audiences and each ind1-
Viduel number on the bill was enthu-
eiastica1ly received.
''PianoviIle," a rather odd and i'm
mensely entertaining diversion of
song and pianologue, headed the bill
and went over big.
Durham and OMaIley had an added
feature spot and they well deserved
the grateful plaudtts Of the specta-
tors for they worked hard and in
5ected plenty of pap" and laughs into
their classy little skit.
Clark Williams chaters away in a
comedy vein as he dances and he also
sings a little. He's a clever chap and
has some good material that was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Clara Stevens and Mary Fake are
versatile and they can sing---alsc
dance. Theirs is sort of a protean
offering and it brought them instant
favor.
One Of the main reasons for the
crowd that packed the theatre last
might was the showing of A. H
Woods great stage success in film
form. Fannie Ward was starred II
the piece and she gave an admirable
account of herself in a role thai
greatly taxed her emotional talents.
The story has been widely read ant
concerns the activities of the secre
police in Russia in forcing pretty
young Jewish girls to live lives o.
crime and shame. 1t is splendidly
staged and the climax well conceived

POLTS

Liberty Ahame'' is one of the most
patriotic spectacles, that ever has
been staged. Seen for the first time
at Polls yesterday it found immedi-
ate favor with audiences, because of
its Elusive lighting effects as well as
the strong punch that it gives to the
various movements now being slim
ulated for the propagation of in
tensiye duties towards military pre-
paration.
Miss Olive Oliver, the animated
Statue of Liberty whose defamation
met with high favor yesterday after
noon has a remarkable voice and i'm
pressive and appealing magnetism.
Her lines are well chosen and with
the additional vision that is given of
the war and its leaders mark an
epoch on the stage has been marked
by such a production
Adelaide Bell who now appears
with a company of dancers has lost
none of that charm or easy and per-
feet grace which has won her fame
and fortune. If anything she is even
more timber and executes her nimble
performance with more snap and
speed than ever. Her two partners
are adept and pleasing.
Quinn and Moran, the two boys on
a submarine offer a novel act with
many striking lines throughout for
comedy effect. 1t is a novelty.
Brewster the Great, one of the most
iovable dogs that ever graced stage,
is a marvel of sagacity and will be
greatly admired by all during the en-
gagement here.
Finley and Hill, with a comany at
tached offer some novel piaologue
that is pleasing and resented in
way that brings the audience dt-
rectly in harmony with the perform
ers.
On the screen the big feature pho
toplay is Ills Robe of Honor" which
offers much thought and speculated
upon the lawyer as a class and Incl
dentalIy gives Henry Walthal an op-
portunity of doing some really great
acting.
Hearst Pathe News for the first
time give some real glimpses of the

ing an attack, and also show mem
bers of thee abinet viewing more
than 10000 troops assembled and II

CONDIT|ONSFOR
RAISING POULTRY
Seem SERIOUS

All commercial poultrymen have de-
creased old stock and all but two in
tend to keep fewer pullets during the
winter of 1918. These are the con-
ditions which have been found in Red
ding, Newtown, Monroe, Norwalk, and
Westport according to poultry farm
visits made by R. E. Jones Of the
Connecticut Agricultural College and
L. A. Bevan of the Farm Bureau.
Several pouItrymen have sold all
their hens except what they are keep
ing for foundation stock. All report
ed that it was getting increasingly
difficult to make both ends meet.
Those who are selling out because
they simply cannot make money are
justified in doing so. A poultry bus
mess that is not financially sound for
the owner is not economically sound
for the nation.
Wheat Substitutes Necessary.
Difficulty in obtaining wheat bran
and n1iddlings was reported by many.
In normal times, a mash of equal
parts of wheat bran, flour middlings,
ground oats, corn meal and beef
scraps would be considered best.
Wheat mixed feed is perhaps the best
substitute for bran and middlings with
ground oats as next choice. Bar
ley feed is being used to some extent
but the high per cent. of fiber which
it contains makes it of little value to
poultry. A very satisfactory ration
may be made of ground oats 100 ID s.,
hominy 100 lbs, corn meal rs bs..
gluten so Tbs. For a scratch feed
equal parts of corn and oats may be
used. It is important that heavy oats
be used, preferably 40 to AZ 10. Feed
only two pounds of grain to each three
pounds of mash consumed.
High Egg Production Necessary.
Those who stay in the game must
get high egg production, because the
two poultrymen who were keeping
their stock said that the only way they
could make any profit was by getting
above the average in egg production.
u order to obtain this result the
flock should be closely culled Ship
to market the hens that have stopped
laying 1t does not pay to keep a hen
that is not working.
Keep the young stock growing well.

Army Horses eood.rempered.

It's a weary, wicked world if you
are an army horse You may or may
not approve Of shoes, but you've got
to have them just the same. The
French authorities have an ingenious
contrivance which so pinions a horse
that he has absolutely nothing to say
in the matter. 1t holds his head, and
holds his feet and holds his body, and
forcibly prevents him from expressing
an opinion, or choosing his shoes, or
making protest in any way. If they
would only let fellow get in just one
real horse-size kick one could-but
what's the use. In the meantime the
farrieT gets in his fine work, and then
it Is too late. Yes, it's a hard, cold
cruel world, so it is. Still, shoes are
not so bad and they give a dandy hefi

Editorial Weakness,

Man, even in his highest state of in
tellectual development, has his little
human weaknesses and we notice that
as soon as an editor manages by hook
or crook to save up enough to get an
automobile, ringing editorials begin to
crop out in the paper pretty frequently
fearlessly demanding better roads for
the farmers.-Ohio State Journal.

Korean Woman Status.

In Korea women occupy place in
society which has no parallel else
where in the Orient. They are both
better and worse off than in China or
India or Japan-better off because
there are more fields open to them,
worse because they are overworked,
often ill-treated, and until recently
were actually enslaved.
