by roundabout and unnecessary way.
From a junction at Disque, on the

built at cost Of 100000. This does
not include equipment at an additional
cost of 100000 per mile. The road was
not built Indirectly into the tract, but
by such a route as would eventually
benefit the main line of the road. All

found to have been salvaged after the

juvenile band which came from Mays

the regular organization gave them
full time in the exhibition ring that
afternoon. Prof. John Young came

a fine girl baby has arrived, and took
his place directing the organization.
The selections played while not diff

tuneful and were we'll executed. There
were two little girls in the organiza-

something like thirty. Unquestion-

MORE Than A BILLION
WASTED IN AIRCRAFT
Railroads Were Built at Extrayagant
Cost for Ultimate Benefit
vi Big Lines.

Washington, October 1S.-Expendi-
ture of $1,055, 0O0,O for the creation
of aircraft which never reached the
battle front, and useless waste in the
construction of railroads, are proven
by testimony taken by Chairman Jas.
A. Frear, of the subcommittee named
by the War Expenditures Committees
to visit the Pacific Coast.
OF the original amount of $780,
100000 appropriated by Congress for
air work In the prosecution of the war,
enough was stopped by legislation
shortly after the armistice to bring
the figure down to nearly billion dol
lars, but of this total any actual bat
tie result was ever achieved. There
were 1856 de Haviland observation
planes on the front, but no bombing
machines. 1t is expected that the full
evidence Of the ruthless extravaganza
In the expenditure will be brought out
in the report of the committee.
In Oregon a railroad spur for log
ging purposes was built from Yakima
Bay south to what is known as the
Blodgett tract. The % miles of road
we're constructed at cost of 100000
a mile. The cost of building this same
road in ordinary circumstances would
have been $4,000 or O15,OOO a mile.
On December 2, 1918, nearly a month
after the signing Of the armistice, a
contract was made for the purchase OF

when it is recalled that Duncan is

A six-reel story of mystery and
romance, made without the use OF
a single studio setting, will be pre-
scented at the Spencer Square
theatre tomorrow and Saturday
under the title of "a Midnight Ro-
nance" starring Anita Stewart in
the second of her super productions
made under the. management of
Louis r. Mayer, the Boston film
magnate. Miss Lois Weber, who di-
rected the production of the story
which was suggested by Marion
Orth, gave the picture realism in
settings far beyond the POSSIBLE
tiles of the most capable of the
geniuses among the studio paint
ers and carpenters. The action Of
the first five reels takes place III
a large hotel, where Miss Stewart
as Marie a maid with soft hands
and a mastery of four languages as
her practical recommendations, is
employed to make beds and drive
a vacuum cleaner The story re-
quired three large hotel suites, cor
ridor shots" lobby settings, at
least one practical" elevator, a
grand ball room and a huge veran-
ia. To give the proper realism to
the action of the principals in
these surroundings, and to make
their work wholly convincing. Miss
Weber rented the largest hotel in
Los Angeles in which to stage 4
greater part of the production. To
avoid running counter to the rou-
tine of the hotel it was necessary
for her to work each day from mid
night until morning, when the cor
ridors and lobby were most de-
serted by the guests.

Claim to Represent Farmers

There are in operation in Wash
ington. D. c., several organizations
purporting to represent the farmers
of the country. Some of these have.
or claim to have. authority from
state or other agricultural organi-
cations. to speak for them. In some
instances these Washington bureaus
are conducting aggressive campaigns
in favor Of government ownership.
in support Of the present course Of
labor unions. and in defense of the
Wilson administration. II such a
policy be in harmony with the opin.
ions and wishes Of the farmers whose
names are being used to back up
these propaganda organizations. well
and good; but If the managers OF the
alleged farm organizations have
merely assumed authority or have
pursued a course not in accordance
with the real wishes Of their SUD-
posed patrons. then 1t is high time
that the farmers should take stems IN
sever their connection with the rad
ical propaganda. We doubt that very
many farmers favor either govern
ment ownership or the present couras
OF the labor unions.
