large manufacturing city at that, but
it can always be relied upon to do it's
share when it comes to men or money

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.
ORGANIZATIONS Were Effected In This
County Last Week.

The several committees on Boys
and Girls Agricultural clubs showed a
remarkable degree of efficiency last
week in the way they co-operated with
A. F. Gafke, emergency food demon
stration agent fo1 Jefferson county.
The teachers and pupils of both the
city and rural schools of the several
local Councils of Defense were as
sembled at a central point where
Boys and Girls Agricultural clubs
were thoroughly explained and organ
lied. One of the very pleasing features
Of the weeks organizing was the fact
that the parochial schools joined in
heartily.
Both T. L. Bewick, state director of
Boys and Girls Agricultural clubs
and E. j. Cooper, his assistant, did the
actual organizing work. These live
men made themselves popular with the
boys and girls by their inspiring talks,
showing how boys and girls could
help in winning the war by raising a
calf, an acre of corn, by joining the
Poultry club or any other of the Ag-
ample after example of how boys and
girls all over the state of Wisconsin
were succeeding in these clubs. The
point to be emphasized most was the
| matter of making these projects bust
ness propositions, by keeping an &C
curate business record, explaining
| that by so doing the boy or girl could
succeed as a business farmer, because
| if he could not make success of
growing one acre of corn he could not
succeed with an average sized farm.
The meetings held and the number
present were as follows:
| Waterloo, 200; Milford, 100; Pipers-
vile, rs; Lake Mills, 356; Johnson
Creek, 1870; Jefferson, 500; Sullivan
800; Fort Atkinson, 700; Palmyra, 1870

At the Theatres

Edgar Lewis powerful production,
The Bar Sinister" at the Classic
Thursday and Friday with matinee
both days, is the screens first great
contribution to dramatic literature.
An original drama, written solely for
motion pictures, the intensely inter-
esting and deeply absorbing story of
the beautiful white girl who believes
that she is a negress is so strikingly
original in it's novel treatment of the
race question that it has caused a
tremendous sensation and is consid-
cred the first great original photo
drama. There are three types of white
men and three types of other races in
the story, representing the good and
evil of each race and contributing to
the beautiful heart interest and thrill
ing climaxes which make the drama
remarkable. No plea is made for the
Wlplng out of the color line, emphasis
being laid upon the fact that color
only affects individuals in a social
way and in no respect bears upon
spiritual equality.
Julian Eltinge, the famous feminine
impersonator, will be seen at the Ma
Jestic theatre tonight in his latest
Paramount picture, "The Widows
Might" story written especially for
him by Marion Fairfax and produced
under the direction of William C. De
Mile. Many of the outdoor scenes
were shot in beautiful Pasadena.

gowns worn by the star excel in COR
geousness and style even those in his
previous productions. (
The Classic will offer tonight Bes

ture has to deal with the EVERYDAY
phases of life in their more common
occurrences. Miss Barriscale's role al
