A FARMER's VIEW OF IT.

A farmer of Missouri who invested a carload of hogs in the third issue of Liberty Bonds said to a friend: q look on the buying of these bonds just like helping out my own family. I made this investment just as would if my own brother was in financial straits and needed an advance, and I'm going to come through again when the Fourth Liberty Loan opens. We're all one big family here, and what hurts one hurts all, and what helps one helps all."

 "Tll do it" he exclaimed, acting exceedingly glad that the meditation was over. This season I'll buy clothes that I can afford, anC stock the say ings in 6 Liberty Bond"

AMUSEMENT.
At tho Strand.


The less desirable side of social life
in New York-or Of any great city
is shown in IA Desert wooing." which
stars Enid Bennett and Is on at the
Strand.
The picture. while by no means the
best In which Miss Bennett has been
seen. carries some good lessons, and
has some strong situations of highly
dramatic natufe. One Of the big
moments in the play comes when q
former admirer Of the heroine tries to
kill her husband. Some fine views of
the western country give tone to the
picture.
The story deals with Avice Bereton,
the heroine, who is a young lady raised
in the cynical and unhealthy atmos-
phere OF the so-called smart set and
only when she meets Barton Masters
a real man from the'boundless west,
does she develop the side of her char
acter that has remained hidden--the
decent side. She is tanned and tried in
the fire. and at last conceives the over
weening passion for her husband who
Is born of actual mating.
Miss Bennett does some good acting
in the difficult role of Mrs. Masters the
wife, and Jack Holt is a forceful char
acter as Barton Masters. the husband.
Other parts are well taken by Donald
Macdonald. John Lockney, Charles
