Ivory Carvings Owned by PittsburafssI

During many years II. j. Heinz Of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
Of the finest collections of ivory carr
ings in America. There are probably
q dozen notable collections Of this
sort in the country, and among them
the Heinz group Of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says writer in
Scribner's.
As rich and fascinating field for L
discriminating collector, ivory carv-
ings are perhaps without peer. Exc

been costly. too rare. as rule. to be

duced. They represent the art, more

From prehistoric ages down through

The weather bureau will publish In
its National Weather and Crop Bulle-
tin a series Of charts showing for the
country east of the Rocky mountains
the southwark progression Of the earli-
est killing-frost date line and the total
area covered by killing frost to the
date of each issue. These charts are
expected to be Of much interest and
value, as they will indicate the time OF
the ending of the growing season for
summer crops this year in the. various
sections of the country.
Much loss is caused at times by
early frosts and interest is unusually
great this year because Of the posi-
bility of frost damage affecting the
food supply. :

TWO EXTREMES

There are two extremes to be avoid
ed in the mental attitude toward the
war and war preparation. One is the
complaisant view that all will come
out well in the end, so why worry?
Germany cant lick the whole world
alone. To be sure, she has made a
great showing and is yet coming
strong. But wait till Uncle Sam
comes along. He'll show the Kaiser a

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Coming to Davis Theatre Wednesday
 Evening, June 5th.

This is a farce in the true accepta- tion of that much abused word, and it will be given for our local opinion at Davis theatre Wednesday evening, June 5th. It is all that the term farce implies-a clean play of amusing scenes and absurdity of complications that sends an audience away from the theatre saturoted with laughter. That is it's mission, and it made good in New York city, where it enjoyed a laughing career of over a year, and that. too, in the city of many amuse- ments. The only thing serious about this play is its title. for when the truth manifests itself in the efforts of the hero to win a ten thousand dollar wager, mirth and laughter are very much in evidence. and an audience is guilty of creating them both as it watches the honest efforts of the ear nest gentleman to add ten thousand dollars to his bank account by the simple way in which he speaks the truth And he does speak it. and therein lies the complicating effects of the plot. IL is difficult to describe in print the absurdity of scenes and situations, the general upsetting and putting away business and domestic life, and no farce has ever been staged HO FtpltLe Wllu lHeSe as 4NOlHAHS put the Truth. Anderson and Weber have given the play a cast that is said to fully emphasize all of it's mirthful pos abilities, and this should afford our local patrons of the theatre one of the enjoyable evenings of the current sea- son. for 1t is funny play-it has proven this by repeated performances and we are promised a splendid pres entation of it here. Seat sale opens Monday. Prices 25c to $50. Mail orders accepted now.
