PARAMOUNT-lNCE STAR DISCUSSES NEW ROLE.

Enid Bennett, star of "The Des ert Wooing," a new Paramount pic ture at the Coliseum theatre tonight for the last time, says she likes the character of Avice immensely. "It is much more serious than most of my roles have been and it has splendid acting possibilities" she said. q tried to make the most of them and with the direction of Jerome Storm and MT. Ince's supervision, feel did very well. I hope so anyway. "Avice is a type of girl to be pitied. There are too many of this kind of people in America-people you know, who live off the labors Of others and are always casting their
 nets for foolish fish with money
 They are parasites, members of that useless portion of the world s people who pretend to smartness
 and yet have nothing to recommend them
 When Avice met her master I
 was glad for her sake. It made a
 woman of her-out of a piece of put
 ty in the hands of an ambitious and
 debt-ridden mother No, I don't
 blame the girl, I blame such moth CTS, who would willingly sell their daughters for money to keep up a false social position. And most of
 all I blame the men who are respon-
 sible for so much of this sort of
 thing. Happily, the war is taking a
 lot of them and making them into
 something worth while. I believe this
 picture will do good. If so, I'm hap

South Carolina Newspaper Gives Some
Reasons Why lndiscriminate Kill
ing Should Be Stopped.

The alligator is another good citi
zen whose usefulness is overlooked,
for killing alligators has been from
time immemorial a popular pastime
In Louisiaua it was found that when
the alligators were killed off the
muskrats multiplied and destroyed the
levees; also the cotton-mouth moe
casin, the garfish and the carp in
creased wonderfully. Whereup0n pro-
lection was given to the alligators.
This lacertilian. to give him his cor
rect family name, has probably kept
the muSkrat away from the South Car
DINA coast, for the muskrat is I'M
known on the coast. If allowed to
multiply the alligator will make in
roads on the carp, the garfish and the
cotton-mOuth, all undesirable men,
bers of our fauna. The sum total Of
the alligator's evil doing amounts to
this: He catches dog now and then !;
once in a long while pulls a hog or
bites the tail off cow, for sundry
stumptailed cows along the Atlantic
Coast Line right Of way have met
misfortune in this way. The COW, the
dog and the hog are out of place when
the alligator can get 1T them; but
at best very little of this happens

CATTLEMEN SEEK RELIEF IN
COTTON SEED FEED MATTER

Amarillo, Tex-With a hope of Sc
curing immediate relief, cattlemen of
this section Friday forwarded a tie
gram to United States Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, Washington, d. c., in
part as follows
I'm pursuance of needful measures
to curb rising prices and increase in
cost of living, no commodities are
more worthy of attention than that
of cotton seed meal and cake. Specu-
lative prices made by some oil mills
and others in advance of the maturing
cotton crop indicate price of $43
for protein cake and $72 to SIS per
ton f. o. b. mill, as against government
controlled price last season of SET.
Last years prices could be re-estab-
lished at big profit to farmers, manu-
facturers and all concerned, and action
now before the cotton seed begins
moving avoids injury to vested rights.
If deemed expedient, re-establish IL
cense system with fixed maximum
prices.

BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE
Wall Constructed of Loose Stones
Has Many Points of Superiority
--Harmonizes With Nature.

The New England stone wall, as a
feature in landscape scenery, is some
times spoken Of as a deformity; yet
it cannot be denied that the same lines
Of wooden fence would mar the beauty
of our prospect in a greater degree.
On account of the loose manner in
which the stones are laid one upon an
other, as well as the character of the
materials, this wall harmonlzes with
the rude aspects of nature better than
any kind of masonry. 1t seems to me
less of blemish than a trimmed hedge
or any other kind Of fence, unless in
ornamental grounds. In wild pas
lures and lands devoted to rustic la
Dor, the stone wall is the most pictur-
esque boundary mark that has yet been
invented. A trimmed hedge in such
places would present to the eye an In
tolerable formality. One of the charms
of the loose stone wall is the manifest
ease with which it may be overleaped.
It menaces no infringement of our lib
critics. When we look abroad upon the
face of a country subdivided only by
long lines of loose stones, and over
grown with vines and shrubbery, we
feel no sense of constraint. g..
Fences are deformities Of prospect
which we are obliged to use and toll
crate. But the loose stone wall only
is expressive. of the freedom which
is grateful to the traveller and the
rambler. Wilson Flagg.

MEXICANS HOLD TWO
AMERICAN AIR MEN
Bandits Demand $4,000 60:
the Release of the Amer
lean Aviators.

San Antonio, Tex-Major General
Joseph 7. Dickman, commander Of the
Southern department of the army,
Tuesday ordered Colonel G. T. Lang
horne, commandant at Maria, Tex, to
pay the $4,000 ransom demanded by
Mexican bandits.
This and the announcement that the
bandits had agreed to extend the time
limit for receipt of the ransom money
were the two big developments in the
latest Of the recent Mexican troubles.
In an official statement issued at
military headquarters at Ell Paso and
signed by Brigadier General Erwin,
district commander, it was announced
that Major l.. A. Walton, commander
of the aero unit at Fort Bliss, had re-
ceived message from Lieutenants
Paul H. Davis and Harold G. Peterson
stating that they had been captured
by Mexicans and were being held for
$4,000 ransom, which must be paid
by August IS, according to the mes
sage.
Lieutenant Peterson, the pilot of the
plane which has been missing since
last Sunday, is rs years old and is
| from Hutchinson, MINI.
Lieutenant Davis is % years old and
is from Strathmore, Cal, but his rela-
tives are in Berkeley, Cal.
The official statement issued at mil
itary headquarters Sunday by General
Erwin reads as follows:
"A telegram was received this af-
ternoon by Major l.. A. Walton, COM
mander of the aero unit at Fort Bliss,
repeating a message signed by the two
aviators who have been missing since
Monday, stating they had been cap
tured by Mexicans and were being
held for $4,000 ransom, which must
be paid by August IS or they would
be killed
This message was brought into a
town in the Big Bend district by a
well-kEown bandit. Colonel George T.
Langhorne, commanding officer of the
Eighth Cavalry in the Big Bend dis
trict, wired the commanding general
of the Ell Paso district that the mes
sage is authentic and he is taking all
necessary measures to obtain the re-
lease of the aviators and has present
ed this matter to the proper authori
ties. The name of the place from
which the message was sent as well
as the place where the ransom is to
be paid, is not given, as it might in
terfere with the release of the avi
ators."
Aviators Peterson and Davis are q
part of the personnel of the Fort Bliss
aviation corps, but were on detached
duty with the Big Bend district mill
tary headquarters at Maria, Tex, al
the time they disappeared. They LEFT
Maria last Sunday morning for the
usual patrol OF the border, planning tt
follow the north bank of the Rio
Grande to the end of the district.

Roadside Fruit Trees,

The genius of the roadside fruit or
nut tree is the hospitality which it
symbolizes, and the spirit Of neighbor-
ly cooperation. 1t is an established
institution in parts of Europe, as in
France, Italy and Germany. 1t is a
practice worth thinking about. Both
esthetic and utilitarian purposes would
be served by general adoption of the
rule in communities sufficiently organ
lied to give necessary care to the trees
once they have been planted.

Best to Build for Oneself.

The advice to the citizen to build
his own home, if possible, is good.
When a man builds for himself and his
family he knows precisely what he
gets, and he gets the kind of home
he likes. It is better suited to the
needs of himself and his family than
is one that has been constructed for
some other family. The cost of such
construction may seem high, but good
judges of values believe that an in
vestment of this kind, made carefully
and wisely, is the soundest and most
satisfactory in the long run.
