DRAFTED FARMER BOYS
MUST KEEP BUSY

The following order which has
been received by the local board is
self-explanatory and plainly points
out the fact that all farmer boys who
have been temporarily exempted
from the draft must keep busy"
"The situation arising from the
scarcity Of farm labor demands that
the call to the. eolors Of men active
ly, completely and assiduously en-
gagged in the planting and cultiva-
ton of crop and who are in Class
One should be deferred until the
end of the new quota. The President
therefore directs that in fling any
emergency call you shall pass the
order number Of such men and de-
fer their call for the present 1t
must be borne in mind that this
step is taken solely in the need OF
the nation and not for the benefit Of
any individual. Therefore while boards
should consider it a grave duty to
exercise this power to conserve and
augment the agricultural produc-
tons, they shall observe closely the
conduct Of those deferred and i'm
mediately upon becoming convinced
that any person so deferred is not
giving his entire time and earnest
attention to agricultural duties, or
that he is trifling with the defer
ment thus granted him, the board
should forthwith call him to the
colors. All citizens should assist in
this effective and bringing
to the attention of the boards cases
meriting deferment, as well as cases
in which deferment is being abus-
ed"

PEGGY INLAND NOW
 UNDER FOX BANNER

A new star lllumineS the William Fox frmament. The star is dainty clever, Peggy Hyland, whi makes her hrst appearance under the Fox ban her in The Debt of Honor" at Fox's Friday and Saturday. The William Fox organization is to be compliment ed on gathering this beloved English star into it's fold. And MT Fox has given to her a story that brings out the beauty of the screen art for which this girl has become so well known Honor, as she is known in the play, pays her debt by refusing to tell on the wife of the senator who has adopted her. She knows that the senator loves his wife dearly and to save him the misery of the knowledge that his wife has been untrue she al- lows the circumstances to point to her as the guilty one. She knows neither mother nor father, but she knows the meaning of gratitude. Epi- sode No. 10 of Vengeance and the Woman" will still continue to thrill many of it's pleased patrons. It is be- coming more interesting as the climax approaches. Billie West in a two- part comedy entitled ''Doughnuts" and Mutt and Jeff will provide com edy enough to satisfy all.
 Jane and Katherine Lee. The Fox Baby Grands, were a decided hit with Fox audiences yesterday. American Buds is a comedy drama with a de- cided accent on the comedy. Tn fact it is six reels of laugh-good, hearty roars. The kids have everything in the line of humor and human inter est, and in American Buds they have established themselves in the front rank of comediennes of the screen, babies that they are. Jane has the laugh provoking ability of a Charley Chaplin, 8, Sidney Drew and a Marie Dressler rolled into one tiny chunk of comic personality, while Katherine furnishes the pathos which makes the youthful com binations ab- solutely irresistible. Today is the last day to see these two "midgets of nirth,'' with Episode 2 of The Eagles Eye,' In which Chief Flynn, late of the U. s. Secret Service, dis closes the plot to blow up the Hotel Ansonia during the Naval Officers ball. over a year ago, and a very in- teresting disclosure it proves to be.

 My own face shocked me as I looked at if. My eyes were strained with eHciten1 ent, and had great circles under them, two hectic spots like badly put on rouge blazed upon my cheeks, and I had unconsciously bit ten my lips until there was a tiny 11ecll of blood on one of them

FILM MASTERPIECE
 AT THE LYCEUM

Today brings an entirely different bill of vaudeville and motion picture attractions to the Lyccum, "the home of good things" and the program will be bigger and better than ever. Every act will be in a class by itself, and the motion picture. Nan of Music Mountain" with Wallace Reid enact ing the leading role. will be up to the standard set by Reid, which everyone knows is the very highest possible
 Five people, four men and wonl
 an, billed as '"Thc Montana Five" will be the vaudeville feature, and assisting this act will be "Haley,
 Mike and Haley" and Charles Lede- gar a "single" man with material that sends his offering over big. The vaudeville acts are the part of this theater's program that the public always waits for, because at the Ly- ceum the best entertainment of it's kind can be secured.
 Each week the acts assume a, bet ter quality, and this week they go a little higher Variety, which they say is the spice of life, is also the spice of theatcr performance, and with knowledge of the truth of that con- dition, Lyceum offerings continue to be filled to over1owing with variety.
 The picture is one that managers of the biggest picture houses in the country have seen fit to advertise at great length. Reid is an actor who looks just as much at home and just as attractive, in the rough garb of a woodsman as he does in evening dress, and in Nan of Music Noun tain" he is given an opportunity to display his talent as man of the wild and woOly.

Kate Douglas Wiggin, whose fas- cinating play of New England life, Mother Carey's Chickens" is at Parsons theater all this week, is known as the best beloved of Amer ican writers of fiction. Her work is always characterized by a rich flow of whimsical humor, delicious depths of pathos, and a delicately written tale of fancy. Her greatest charm as a writer and dranatist Is implicitly of style, and therein lies her great est charm of visualization of the splend1dly human characterization The cast shown locally is the orig inal one seen on Broadway for over three months, and Is headed bv An- toinette Walker, whose creation of the role of Nancy Carey has made her one of the best liked stars on the American stage today. There will be another popular-priced matinee on Saturday.

NEVER LET
 HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept her locks youthful, dark and glossy with common garden
 Sage and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture though, at home is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at a time By morning all gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark ened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray. faded hair, though no dis grace, is & sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger This ready to-use preparation is q delightful tol- let requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, rnitisa- ton or prevention of disease.

SIDE TALKS
How to Learn Tact
RY RUTH CAMERON

Why, oh why haven't I more tact?" q, woman bewailed to me the other day after she mad made an in- nocent but unfortunate break.
 It is a plaint one hears every now and then. I think l have made it myself.
 And so I was specially interested, this morning, when the man-who- thinks gave us a most suggestive de1i- njtion of that much-to- be- desired quality.
 We had been talking of a woman who, in her desire to better certain conditions (and she is quite intelli- gent enough to improve many things it she had her way.) had set whole town by the ears. Cause, of course Jack of tact.
 How Clothes Expressed Lack of Tact
 The woman, during our converse lion passed by the window. The man who thinks called our attention to her. "Look,'' he said, don't the very clothes she wears express her lack Of tact?"
 "How?'' W wanted to know
 ''Well,' he explained, "as you know, she has to wear her clothes for two or three seasons. That's not Ter fault, of course; but since she knows it's so, wouldn't you think she would choose something that would be less tiresone to look at! Now that bright blue coat IS al well enough, in itself, and that old rose ecarf on her hat But they are 1lfe- some. Doesn't that show lack or consciousness of the rest or the world? And isn't that just what tact is:"
 His Definition of Tact.
 As to her lack of consciousness of others being the whole explanation of this woman's choice of clothes I diff fered with the man-Who- thinks. But that is another story, which I'll tell YOU some day if you are interested. His definition of tact however, 1 found most interesting and sugges- tive.
 "A lack of consciousness of the rest of the world
 Too Much Self, Too Little Other
 Folks, Consciousness.
 What is it causes us to make aWk- ward breaks-What is it makes us forget to say the gracious, appropri- ate things,-to ask after the particu- Lar matters in which our friends are

 The primary dictionary meaning of tact is sense of touch. The subsi diary meaning is sensitive mental touch.''
 If you want to have this sensitive mental touch which keeps you from awkwardness and instructs you in graciousness, you must try to get rid of self centeredness and self con seriousness and cultivate "conscious- ness of the rest Of the world.'

Fire On Business Street
Stops Circus Parade

Just as the Yankee Robinson circus
parade was ready to start Monday the
city fire bell sounded an alarm, and
hundreds of visitors on the streets
we're given an unexpected thrill.
Smoke was discovered pouring out OF
the l. A. Smith berbershop building
in the first business block. The build
ing was quickly surrounded by people
who forget all about the circus parade
for a few moments.
However, the excitement was brief,
as the fire boys socn had two streams
OF water playing on the building, and
the fire was confined 10 the inside
upper floor, where 1t had originated
from a gasoline stove. The damage
was placed at about $500, covered by
insurance.
"Miller's luck holds good yet" was
a common remark heard. There was
very little wind; the streets were full
Of people; the firemen were there In a
short time; everything worked all
right-and Miller's closely built wood
en- street again escaped serious dam
age.
