MOOre's Strand-s'The HeII-Hound
of Alaska"

Having appeared as the star of
Celluloid melodramas with locals
in every other portion of the con-
tinent, William S. Hart is pictured
during the first four days of this
week at Moore's Strand Theater, in
the title role of, THE He'll Hound
of Alaska"
The climax of the interesting
story which the screen depicts, is
reached in Alaska, but it should not
be understood that this Is exclu-
sively a camera study of the land
of the midnight sun, and excessive
gold deposits. On the contrary, the
action receives its first impulse in
a crowded Eastern city, where it

Pauline Frederick was seen at
Loew's Columbia yesterday and
will continue until Thursday in the
screen version of Sardou's La

who, as F1oria Tosca. gives a per-
fOrmance well up to her usual high
standard. Frank Losee's interpre-
tation of Baron Scarpia would be
difficult to excel Jules Raucourt

work.

It's altogether probable that the
ruIpit would not care to express
itself on the ethical and moral
properties of the sermonette that
engaged the attention of seat
buyers at the National Theater last
night, SO it's up to the press it
seems.
Between subscribers. this sermon
cite has a perfectly scandalous title

flock of perfectly scandalous lines
that are perfectly, sCandalOusly
funny. It's funny, all right, but the
clergy-welI, the clergy had better
stay around the parsonage until

Suppose you were a perfectly res
pectable hubby and you lived in an

That's the plot. It's a real plot.
It's the kind Of a plot that shows

it had to have a cast. And when

It's not often that a producer will

the show. His comedy methods are

MORE SEED CORN READY

Washington--The United States De-
partment Of Agriculture today an
nounced that reserve quantities of
corn suitable for seed are stored at
points convenient for distribution by
express to farmers in Illinois. Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin. This corn is in
tended for late planting and replant-
ing and can be purchased from the
Department for cash at cost as pro-
vided by law.
Farmers needing seed corn should
get in touch at once with their coun-
agents for detailed information re-
garding the kind of corn, the price,
and how orders should be placed for
it. Where there is no county agent,
inquiries should be addressed to the
nearest of the following officials in
charge of the seed corn distribution :.

State authorities and local veterin-
arians, to control hog cholera. The
effectiveness of their efforts and the
success of modern methods of combat
ing this disease is shown by the fact
that during 1914 the hog mortality
from disease was 100000 head, as
compared to 100000 in the year end
ing March, 1918, 80 per cent of the
deaths being due to hog cholera. The
losses in 1914 were equivalent to the
normal consumption of pork and pork
products by the entire population of

Three New National Forests
President Wilson has issued a pro-

West Virginia, and the Natural Bridge
in Virginia. Each Forest represents
the final step in carrying out the law
passed by Congress in 1911 providing
for the purchase by the Government
of forest lands OH the watersheds of
navigable streams. Additional lands

biologists who believe, or profess to
believe, that the Industrial Workers
of the World are really group of
spiritual crusaders, whose acts are
merely symptoms Of disease may
have trouble to reconcile this view
with the evidence that has come out
in the trial at Chicago.
Charles l.. Lambert, who Is one of
the six members of the General Exc
cutive Board of the |. W. W., has the
letter-writing habit-an unwise pas
sion for criminals to indulge. He
wrote to one of his spiritual COM
rades as follows:
There is so little justice toward
our class that we will have to change
our tactics, and in the future when
one ofour class is murdered in the in
terest of capitalism two of theirs
should be murdered in the interest of
labor, and then the authorities will
have to use more direct action"
The zone of our class" who had
been murdered in this particular
case was a man who had been con-
victed of murder and legally executed
A letter even more Illuminating was
written by Lambert when he heard of
the death of an officer of the law:
"They finally got our old friend
Sheriff Meadows, of Imperial Valley.
This rat has lodged everything sue
cessfully for the last five years from
poison to bullets, but finally he fell
and died after four hours of terrible
agony from poisoning of some kind
He lived five years too long"
What could be more Prussian than
this elation over the terrible agony
of poisoned enemy? If Lambert
were only the symptom of disease,
that disease would have America at
deaths door But he is not symp-
tom, only criminal.
He and his fellows are bound to-
gether not only by class hatred, but
by individual viciousness.

Spraying "Circles" For Farmers
Community cooperation in spraying,
particularly in the control of such dis
eases as potato late blight and tomato
leaf spot, is urged by the United
States Department of Agriculture The
department is suggesting to county
agents and extension pathologists the
early organization of such spraying
circles" to deal more effectively this
year with such destructive plant dis
eases. A community spraying outfit
with man and team continuously
employed throughout the season is
both economical and efficient, depart
ment officials say, and proved sue

community the average spraying cost
