CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND
BRYANT WASHBURN T0NIGHT

Business men of this city-espe-
Gully those who have achieved sue
cess in tn face of haudeaps and
largely by the great force of adver-
tis;ng and live-wire methods-will
find a lot of wholesome enjoyment in
"Kidder & Ko.," the Pathe Play that
comes to the American treatre to-
night.
Bryant Washburn appears IN the
principal part He is the son OF an
old chap who lives in Maine and who
has logged along for many years as
a Gamer of Goldfish. He sticks TO the
old ways of doing business, but man
ages to amass a considerable fortune.
He sends the son to college, but is
convinced that the boy will never
amount to anything. He's full of fool
notions, the boy is. according TO the
old mans way of thinking, and his
chief distinction is as a pool cham
pion.
Then, when dad tells him to go
away and return with 10000 iron
men," the boy, who labors under the
name of Cuthbert. comes to life. He
goes away. He falls in love. And
falling in love he rustles up a lot of
ambition to amount to something. for
he knows that there will be no gay
wedding bells for him unless he man
ages to make a success of himself.
How he does it is delightfully."- novel,
so natural and so amusing that one
warns right up with sympathy for
the young lovers.
Bryant Washburn made big hit
when he appeared in SINNERS Dress
Suit" and followed that with "Twen-
ty-One," but it is a certainty that he
will surpass his previous record with
"Kidder & Ko."

VICTIM WALLS FOR A CURE
FOR DREADED HAY FEVER

This is hay fever time. The grass
hopper has become a burden and the
mourners go about the streets with
red proboscises.
Hay fever is the most common
malady in the world" said a sufferer
yesterday. For uncounted centuries
men and women have been afflicted
with it. The profession of the doctor
is healing, the curing of disease. That
is his business in life, his trade, one
may say. Is there a physician in ali
America who can cure hay fever, o.,
better still, prevent it? There is not
one. If there were a remedy the dis
coverer could count his fortune in mil
lions and have monument built in
his honor almost as tall as Washing
tons. Why cannot doctors find a
preventative? Where is their medical
skill?" concluded the sufferer, with
tears in his eyes.

OLD LANDMARK Is
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Ross Sellars, who came in yester-
day afternoon in his big truck.
brought word that the Toll House,
one of the oldest landmarks of this
county, built by DEMO in the early
'70s, burned to the ground yesterday,
only the cellar remaining.
The building was erected about the
time when the travel to Boise and
Silver City, Idaho, was heaviest and
probably millions of dollars in rich
ore was shipped over this road by
team before the inception of the Ore
gon Short Line railroad.
The place was occupied at various
times by old-timers, who made plenty
Of money out of the saloon, restaurant
and tolls.
The place was purchased in 1876 by
the late Thomas Shone, who remained
in possession until 1894, when it was
sold to the county of Humboldt.
The present proprietor is George
Woods. Nothing is definitely known
concerning the origin of the fire, but
a defective chimney is blamed The
telephone lines are down and this
morning George Watts of the U. n. &
/. T. left for the scene.

BALDY SITS NEAR
THE TRAILS END

This is the story of a dog. The
thread of it runs from the white
silence of the Arctic to the horrid din
of the battle front.
And its glory shines in the twenty
six stars on the service flag" that
hangs over the kennel of old Baldy
in Berkeley. Cal-Old Baldy OF Nome
Twenty-six shaggy sons of this ia
nous Northland sled dog are today in
way service for the American and
allied armies in France
They are there because Baldy,
through battle and march and hard
testings of a harsh land, has cleansed
his good red blood of the last vestige
of the wolfish yellow.
If the good that men do lives after
them, just so surely the courage and
faithfulness of dogs persists in their
sons whose destiny il is to serve men.
Baldy, of course, can't be expected
to know much about such abstrac-
tions. Sufficient for him is the pat of
approval-the knighthool of his kind
which he has so richly earned.
In Alaska. love and loyalty, modify
ing the law of club and fang, have
bred fine mettle, human and canine.
The bad dog becomes the ranging out
law; the good one quickly learns that
virtue finds comforting reward about
the lonely camp-fires after day in
the traces.
Baldy was a good one from puppy
hood
Under the tutelage of his master.
the renowned Scotty Allen of Alaskan
sweepstake fame, he developed those
sound qualities which his sons and
grandsons are now devoting to the
service of Americans on the battle
line
He absorbed the code of the North
men-trail blazers and Argonauts-
the code which faces peril and hard
ship with grin and stout heart He
hardened his thews and did his work
without whimper. He ate his fish in
gratitude. or bore his hunger without
complaint. Among his own breed he
loved and battled, and sang his song
of content to the Northern moon
Many times. as lead dog, he piloted
Scotty Allen to victory in the grueling
Nome sweepstakes. And more than
once he saved the life of his master
He never turned tail, and he nevel
shirked on the trail.
And that's a great tribute in the
Northland.
A mans dog-strong and proud anC
loyal-with perhaps a faint concep-
ton of what it has meant to devote
his life to men on the glory trails OF
the Arctic.
Such is Baldy of Nome.
Surely. the good a dog does lives
after him, and the virtues his masters
develop in him are passed on through
his sons to other men. as Baldy's trail
virtues have spanned from Alaska to
valuable service on the American bat
tie front.
Baldy is only an old dog who sits
with dim eyes at the end of the trail
and who occasionally talks to the
moon of the days that were when he
loved and battled and worked under
borealis.
But there's many man who might
profitably make pilgrimage to
Baldy's kennel and study the stars or
his service flag.

ROOF PAINT USED FOR
SEALING TREE ABRASIONS

Many orchardists and tree surgeons
have found that the best and most
economical way Of treating tree
wounds of all kinds is to cover them
with roof paint. 1t is easy to apply
and farmers throughout the country
have used it with benefit in the treat
ment of abrasions, cuts and grating.
1t is heavy enough in body to form a
thick coating over the wound, thus
preventing insects and the elements
from harming the tree. 1t is also
very easy to apply.

GIRL OF MYSTERY
AUTHOR OF POEM

The following striking verses we're
penned by an unknown author, who
for some reason chooses to conceal
his or her identity. Inasmuch as the
manuscript was first found in a
Christmas packet sent to a Lancaster,
Ohio, soldier, being one of a number
prepared by the girls of that place,
1t is generally supposed tht the lines
were composed by some gifted girl
whose home is somewhere in the
Buckeye state. All attempts to iden-
tify the author have thus far failed.
Because of the strange manner in
which the verses found publicity they
deserve, as well as their own intrinsic
literary value. they have excited COM
ment and favorable criticism in the
east. The lines follow:
LET HIM LIVE"
AS long as flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears,
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the salted brine of a Scotchman's s
curse.
L would let him live on a dinner each
day,
Served from silver on a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but things to
eat.
And I'd make him a bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to this comfort he would
yield,
1t should stink with rot of the battle
field,
And blood and bones and brains of
Should cover him, smother him-and
then
His pillows should cling with the rot
ten cloy,
Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy;
And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
And while the waves the white sands
sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep
And through all the days, through al
the years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set ol
sun,
Moaning and moaning, and moaning
wild
A ravaged French girls bastard child.
And l would build him a castle by
the sea.
AS lovely castle as ever could be:
Then I'd show him ship from over
the sea,
AS fine ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
! Yet scarce does she touch the silvered
sands,
/ Scarce may he reach his eager hands
Than hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch ON the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more!
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the kaiser a private hell;
| I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas
In every wound I'd pour ground
I glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
1 boys died
Out past the lads they crucified.
In the fearful gloom of his living
tomb,
/ There is one thing I'd do before 1 wa,
/ through:
/ I'd make his sing, in a stirring man
/ ner,
+ The wonderful words OF THE Star
I Spangled Banner"
