ism, but an opportunity to acquire
wealth at the same time.
Offsetting Labor Shortage
In view of the fact that farm labor
is scarce and high, every effort should
be bent towards securing maximum
yields per acre, with fertilizer, which
is one Of the best ways to conserve
man power.
Unfortunately, no industry has been
more directly affected by the war than
the fertilizer industry. The govern
ment is Communicating materials i'm
portant TO this industry for the pur-
pose of manufacturing munitions of
war and hence has greatly reduced the
possible tonnage to be used in fer
tilizers. In other words, while the
nation is calling for the largest pos
s,ble crop yields, there is, at the same
time, a great demand for gun powder.
Some one has aptly said, "Plants and
cannons eat the same food" OF course,
under present conditions, the cannons
must be fed first.
There is a considerable shortage of
fertilizer ingredients, and the prices

COLUMBIA OFFERING
 FROM TWO TO SIX

A German spy story and one of the best of it's kind is what is said of the play Prom Two to Six" which is playing at the Columbia tonight and tomorrow. It is adapted from a story by Arthur Stringer called "The But ton Thief" Baron von Weiderholtz, head of a coterie of German spies, seeks the plans of an anti-submarine device invented by John Stevens. One of his agents succeeds in obtaining the plans Alice Stevens gives pursuit and comes to the hotel where the baron is stopping. well the formula given to capture German spy is to get a cake of soap wrap it in a towel and hit him on the head. On the same program is the twice-a-week screen Telegram and a delightful Strand comedy.

 The City of New York has perhaps more little foreign. restaurants than any city on the globe. Hundreds of little French tables d'hote places exist hidden away from the main avenues of trade in out of the way spots known only to the men and women who frequent them. And in these cafes are matched some of the great est plays, some of the most profound thinkers here congregate, the great actors, the Bohemian newspaper writers, the artists and the floating population of this great city find their way to the doors of these little cat l ing places which are almost unknown to even the everyday New Yorker.

 CompIicates for Thieves
 When a moments thought is given the matter. it becomes perfectly ap- parent that this system complicates matters a great deal for thieves. In the first place every thief knows that even if he succeeds in removing a car to some other part of the state. any alteration he may make in numbers and correspondngly on the identifi- cation sheet can be immediately traced by merely telephoning the central bureau
 Furthermore. he realizes that any one with grain of sense to whom he might try to sell the car will demand that he prove ownership or will insist upon withholding payment until he has had a chance to forward the transfer to the bureau for checking and license plates.
 As result they say in California that thief has to cross the moun- tains to dispose of stolen car. If the system were in use throughout the country even this remote chance would l be done away with

SYSTEM IN COAST STATE
 SUITS AUTO|STS

The state of California has an auto mobile license system quite unlike any other in effect anywhere else in the country. According to the Ferguson Keeler company, local Oldsmobile dealers, the plan works to the absolute satisfaction of California car owners and the idea could be very profitahly put into effect in every state in the union. In briefly outlining the scheme Mir Ferguson said:
 The most noticeable difference. to anyone unaccustomed to the Califor nia system, is the fact that the car owner has a permanent license nu;-. Der and uses the same set of plates from year to year. Even though he sells his automobile and buys a new one he retains his number This means of course that the expense of making thousands of new steel plates each year is done away with.
 But naturally there must be some means by which officers of the law can recognize whether the current sea sons license fee has been paid. This is accomplished by issuing small seals of a distinctive form and color that attach to the plates. This year the insignia is a green mission bell These seals are all of the same design and of course cost only small fraction of what is usually expended for new plates. each of which must be stamped separately.
 As to Identification But that is only a minor benefit to the owner of d machine. The reallN big thing is the identification. With 1 each new license, an identification sheet is supplied in duplicate. Thi. describes the car minutely as well a. | giving detailed information concern ing the owner and his residence. Thi. must be attached to the car unde 1 lsinglass. At the bottom of this care

WESTERN DRAMA NOW
 BILLED AT THE HIP

Two things mark the Hip feature offering today. the cast, including Vim. S. Hart. Gladys Brockwell. Robert Ede- son and Req Mitchell, and the fact that the picture was made personally by Thomas H. Incc. It is styled The Bandit and the Preacher" and is adapted from "On the Night Stage" which was d western classic of its day. Hart is said to have never made a bet ter picture than this story of the road agent and the preacher who loved the same girl.
 To those not familiar with the story this girl who is the cause of all the trouble is an inmate of a dance hall of the early days and while she is a box worker and wine seller of the old l type she is good at heart and longs for better things.
 l Her sweetheart is a bandit. but she | has a host of admirers and does not | lack for attention until into this hell | hole of iniquity comes a preacher who | is all man. red blooded and fighter | himself, this man of the cloth sees in this girl the making of a good woman and he falls in love with her.
 It's a battle between him and the | bad man of the camp for the affections
 of the girl until the owner of the dive
 takes a hand and tries his rough house tactics when the rivals, the preacher
 and the bandit fight the bully's mob
 The. Bandit and the Preacher is a

THE lAMARA

While three widely different picture star values feature the week to come at the Lamara beginning with the performance this morning. it is per haps safe to say that Jack Pickford, Lieutenant Jack" if you please, fof he is now an officer in the service of Uncle Sam, in "Huck and Tom, {" stands out as the distinguishing spot on the seven days bill, and that too, despite the fact that two great women picture makers are linked with the lieutenant" on the Lamara's pro- gram.
 Viola Dana opens in Opportunity this morning to remain two days and gives way to Pauline Frederick in Resurrection, made known by the late Blanch Walsh, who played it foI several years on the dramatic stage
 The Paramount people have giver Miss Frederick a sparkling cast ir her support and have staged the pie ture with remarkable fidelity to To- calle. costume and detail, and it is particularly timely at this time wher the Russian situation is acute.
 Little need be said to recommend "Huck and Tom for what man or boy has not read the adventures of these two immortal characters of the late Mark Twain?
 In the hands of Jack Pickford ths characterization of Twain's Ton Sawyer" lives again, and the fac that recently the great Graumar million dollar picture theater of Lo' Angeles saw fit to present the whol' cast of this picture on it's gigantic stage when they played the Para mount creation shows to what eXten it was recognized as one of the grea | cards of the year.

''OPPORTUNITY"NOW
 SHOWING AT LAMARA

Edgar Franklyn wrote one of the best short stories to be published last year and he called it Opportunity. It ran in the All Story magazine, and was admired for the freshness and originality that characterized it and it's telling.
 Two men. one young the other old, are engaged in the same business. The elder wants to consolidate with his younger rival and makes him real proposition, but is turned down and the senior liniment maker starts out to crush his rival. Anthony Frey.
 There are two points that start this story. Anthony has a pet hobby in which h5 believes as odes Mahomedan his bible, that is that Opportunity knocks at every mans door once, and that the man must be there to grab the chance.
 Anthony also likes prize fights. as does Mary, the daughter of his hated rival. Mary masquerades in her broth CTS clothes, attends the fight, is seated in box with Anthony. who starts a rough house when he tries to prove his opportunity argument, and to helr out the kid" whom he thinks is boy bent on a lark. he escapes from the l fight to his bachelor quarters and the kid is put to bed in Anthony's pajamas.
