onial tomorrow evening
Missing" is indeed a master pro-
duction from every standpoint. The
story deals with the fortunes of a
British Army officer and his bride. He
is reported missing, but subsequently
regains the British lines, his mind and
body wrecked by the shock and men
tai suffering, and ultimately is re-
stored to health when his wife sings
a pathetic love song which they had
often sung together during their
counting days.
This is a splendid picture of love
and war in which practically an al
star cast appears, and from the stand
points of artistry and dramatic inter
est, it has few superiors. Thomas
Meighan does some excellent acting

New chapter in Anthropolouy.

1t is an extraordinary chapter in an
thropology that Prof. Wood-Jones,
of the University of London, reads
in the Talgai skull and associated
remains discovered in New South
Wales in 1889. The antiquity sug-
gested is far greater than that of the
European ancient skulls, and, instead
of being descendants of the anthropOid
apes, the human race is shown to have
been so highly developed as to have
boats and domesticated dogs before the
apes appeared. This skull distinctly
human and highly mineralized, was in
a stratum with extinct pouched ami
mails. Bones of dingo dogs were found
in a similar stratum, and with them
bones of extinct pouched animals that
had been gnawed by the dogs. Only
pouched animals were known in Aus
tralia at the time of Captain Cook.
Australia has been an island since
pouched animals were evolved, and it
is argued that the Talgai man must
have come in boat with his family
and dogs.

MAN POWER FOR THE FARMS

Agriculture has contributed it's due
share of man power to the army
perhaps no more, certainly no less.
Other industries that have contrib
uted man power to the army have re-
cruited man power from the farm
Despite this disturbance, the farm
ers this year increased their produe-
ton over last year. which was an in
crease over the year before; they
have worked more days and more
hours and have put their families at
work; women have labored in the
fields while their babies slept in the
shade of nearby trees; many country
children have labored while many city
children have played
The farmers can not continue TO in
crease production in the volume need
ed and at the same time send more
man power to the army and the city
industries. II would not be fair to re-
quire it. if it were possible to accom-
plish it.
The only source of labor is the use
less service of the cities-able-bod
men employed for luxury or mere
convenience and at tasks which WON
en- can perform.
The crops are not all gathered;
next years crops are to be consider
ed; food production must not fail

is well-established fact that the word

from the Spanish "cigarral," the place
where the cicade lin Spanish ''cigara")
