Our country and our allies are fac
ing serious sugar shortage. iowa
can help meet the situation by grow
ing sorghum for strip making. a
small amount Of cane grown on each
farm would greatly lessen the de-
mands for sugar by providing SUBJ
stitute.
There are numerous city dwellers
interested in the "grow-an-acre" cam
paign who may also well give consid-
GRAFTON to this crop. The first step
Is to ascertain II n mill Is available.
A survey OF the state has been made
and the county agent can give informa-
ton regarding the location Of the near
est mill and as to seed supply.
The sorghum industry was at one
time an important one in this state,
but with the advent OF corn sirup at a
low price, the production Of sorghum
strip waned decidedly.
The sugar In sorghum Is principally
cane sugar while the sugar in corn
strip is glucose.
1t Is well-known that cane sugar Is
much superior to glucose In sweeten-
ing qualities. According to Hoover
the comparative sweetness Of corn
strip and sorghum at the same density
is in the ratio Of approximately to 10
in favor of sorghum.
A yield OF from 100 to $50 gallons
per acre Is not uncommon, and at
present prices sorghum Is profitable
as well as much-needed crop In Iowa.

On thinner soils give six-tO-eight-

PEGGY HYLAND IN
FOX PIRATE FILM

Today is the last opportunity motion
picture followers will have to see Miss
Peggy Hyland in her latest photoplay.
Peg O the Pirates" at Fox's theater
This is an excellent and pleasing
screen portrayal of the days when bold
sea rovers roamed the seas The sea
pictures were taken off the South
Carolina coast where many of the
pirates of the 18th century held forth,
stopping and capturing ships and MAX
ing the crew and passengers walk
the plank Miss Hyland does some
exceedingly fine work in this photo
play, and she is assisted by capable
cast-some of the pirates seem to have
walked right out of Stevenson's
"Treasure Island Episode No. Of
THE Woman in the Web and other
short subjects make UP an entertain
ing weekend show.
For Sunday evening, wonderful
Edith Storey will be the attraction in
Revenge" a perturbation of Edward
Moffat's novel, 'Hearts Steadfast." AS
Alva Leigh in this picturesque photo
drama of Western mining camps and
the desert, this popular star Is right
in her element. No other woman star
sits on q horse or has a hand on
trigger like Edith Storey. Moreover,
she is delightfully."- womanly and ap-
pealing, qualities that always register
on the screen. Revenge" has situa-
tons of genuine excitement and sus-
pense and has the Western back
ground, against which this clever ac-
tress and sportswoman shines forth
so wildly.
For Monday and Tuesday, the man
agement of Fox's announces 1.-The
Risky Road" with Dorothy Phillips.
This picture, the successor to "The
Price of a Good Time" is a tense and
forceful picture of Marjorie He1mer,
the weak-willed country girl who
comes within an ace of becoming an
other moth singed by the city's flame.
How this young girl battled against
the sins of the metropolis is por-
trayed in trem endously appealing

SWEET MAE MARSH
COMING TO LYCEUM

Winsome Mae Marsh, the "sweet

vertsed as one wherein the versatile
and lovablc little girl is given splendid
opportunity for display of her many
sided character. comes back to the
Lyceum theater next week for three
days enga cement in Faces in the
Dark
To patrons of the Lyceum. Miss
Marsh has proved q big favOrite, fill
ing splendidly appropriate roles in
many of the most popular pictures
the theater has had. Her own char
acteristic manners make themselves
felt in every role, and the sweet
beauty and freshness that won her a
place in the world of picture stars
have a worthy team mate in sheer
acting ability.
There is something about Mae
Marsh's acting-the same something
that first got her place in the film
world--that is now helping her win
her way to the top of the ladder.
Every fellow in the audience wants
to be her brother and every girl just
loves her, while the older folks--well,
you may notice that they are sure to
be found well represented whenever
she is billed to appear.
On the program with this picture
will be another strong vaudeville bill,
fresh and diversified, including none
of the backneyed acts SO characteris-
tic of some playhouses. Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday promise to
be three days of enjoyment for Ly-
ceum patrons with the combination
of splendid picture feature and high
class vaudeville
The bill that pleased audiences
Thursday and Friday, with Ann Pen
nington in "Sunshine Man, and three

presented today for the last time with
q continuous performance. Sunday

THRILLING WAR
DRAMA AT KEENEY'S

"a voice from the trenches is the
way Sergeant Employs great story
"Over the Top" has been described
by critics. AS a drama with the fight
ing sergeant in the very role he en-
acted in the trenches it will be shown
next week at the teeney's theater.
The soldier-author with this play
holds the mirror up to human nature
as he found it in the English private
soldier. His story will appeal to young
and old alike, to all who love pathos
and humor, great deeds and manly
men.
The New York Times in commenting
on the story, "Over the Top said:
irrespective soldiers can learn here
pretty nearly just what is awaiting
them, in both incident and sensation,
while their folks at home will be
heartened."
Like the book, this Vitagraph drama
is filled with anecdotes that will bring
the smile and laughter Empey
proves that life in the trenches is
not all gloom by any means. He says:
War is not pink tea, but in a
worthwhile cause like ours, mud rats,
coolies, shells, wounds or death itself
are far outweighed by the deep sense
of satisfaction felt by the man who
does his bit. There is one thing my
experience taught me that might help
the boys who may have to go 1T is
DISQUALIFICATION is far worse than
realization. In civil life q man stands
in awe of the man above him, wonders
how he could ever fill his job. When
the time comes he rises to the oc-
casion, is up and at it, and is sur
prised to find how much more easily
than he anticipated he fills his re-
sponsibilities.
