At the Majestic.

The long awaited play The Leg
ion of Death" which has been
nearly a year in the making. is
finally booked for Rock Island and
Manager Quinn of the Majestic has
arranged 10 show the seYen-part
drama at that theatre next Wed
nesday and Thursday. Edith Storey
was chosen for the leading role in
this play and that the judgment of
the producers was more than JUS
titled can best be judged by a
glance at the picture which shows
Miss Storey in tempestuous role
of the leader of the battalion Of
death which is sworn to redeem
Russia or die. Just now when
Russia is playing such big part
IN the affairs OF the war and when
the BOlsheyiki are seemingly in
control. il is pleasant know that at
least there is o--e great great band
of heroic women who cling to the
ideals of the allies and know that
therein and therein only is there
safety for their fatherland. These
women have organized. drilled and
have even gone over the top and
suffered the hardships and wounds
OF war in an effort to shame the
men of their country into action to
check the German curse in their
country. THE Legion of Death" is
not entirely a war picture as the
biggest part OF it is taken up with
a dramatic story which critics say
viii thrill and move anyone. Miss
Storey in the heroic figure of the
leader of these girls, has the su-
preme role Of her life.

May Allison, the popular screen
fstar, who appears with Harold
: Lockwood in Metro wonderplays,
was born on a plantation in Geor-
gia. AS a young girl she nursed an
ambition to be a grand opera prima
j donna. She possesses a rare lyric
soprano voice which she cultivated
for three years.
Miss Allison's first public appear
ance was when she was still in her
early teens. She wrote the lyrics
and composed the score for a light
opera, and she played the leading
role also. Against the wishes of
her family Miss Allison insisted
upon a stage career. AT length,
when they found they could not
persuade her to give'up this ambi-
ton, Miss Allison's mother accom-
panied her to New York, where she
came to seek an engagement.
Miss Allison's striking beauty at
once impressed Henry W. Savage
and he engaged her for the role of
Vanity" in his big stage produc-
ton, ''Everywoman." Later she
was given the part of Beauty"
After several other stage sue
cesses Miss Allison listened to the
urging of friends and took role
in the screen production of David
Harum" Next she appeared in the
screen with Edith Wynne Matti-
son in THE Governors Lady" and
then became a full-fiedged screen
star with the Americana Mutual in
The House of Thousand Scan
dals." 1t was then that she met
Mr.. Lockwood and they have ap-
peared together since.

USES A CORN CUTTING MA
CHINE.

MIR. lnman, whose visit to the COM
niunity is mentioned elsewhere in
this paper, owns and operates large
iarm IN Sussex county of several
thousand acres. He states that he
has been using II corn cutting machine
for three years, drawn by small
tractor, which does the work of about
live or six men, one man to drive and
one to set up the corn, will do about
eight acres day.
The machine cost $1,000 three
years ago, but is, of course, some
higher now. The machine cuts one
row at u time, and binds tho corn in
to bundles. The only drawback and
that of not much consequence, is that
tho machine knocks Off an eur of corn
now and then. The machine can be
drawn by horses but the draft is
heavy. Mr.. lnman says that II team
of three good horses will handle the
cutter all right. There are different
makes and sizes of the machine mndo
but light machine is not advisable.
The heavier II machine tho steadicr,
and the fewer ears of corn will be
laired off. MIR. lnman's tractor is a
IL h. p. He snys the Fordson trac-
tor, exhibited here by the Tazcwcll
Motor Company, will handle the cut
ter to n Il. Tho corn cutter is used
by nearly, il not quite all of the
largo farmers on the big river bot
toms, and has gone far TO solve the
labor problem at corn cutting time.
