 There is a well defined plot running through the picture drama, which, by the way, is not of the improbable kind but one that can be easily grasped and understood, and which hold the intense interest of the audience every second the pbotoplay is being shown. The pure love of a self-sacrificing woman, and a strong man of noble impulses, relieve the play entirely of sordidness.
 There is not weak spot in the cast the leading characters are remarkably well chosen, the photography excellent, and taken from actual scenes
 ''Bolshevism on TriaI is one of the really great pictures that has been shown in the city for sometime, and should be seen by every person in the city who loves his or her country.

Menace Of BoLsheuisn Viuidly
 PortrayedinD Drama atAlcazar

There is no topic of such vital interest -o the civilized world today than that of bolshevism, and never has the world faced such serious menace as this an archistical doctrine. Its slimy tenticles are reaching out in every country in Flu rope, and it's insidious propaganda is be- ing spread surreptitiously, but not the less surely, throughout these United States of America.
 Than "Bolshevism on Trial,' the great picture drama shown today, tomorrow and Saturday at the Alcazar, there is no striking expose of this world menace. It is neither a war picture or war propa- ganda, but a vivid portrayal of the dan- gers to decency, law, and order that will

THOUSANDS CROWD INTO BOXING BURG AND HUNT LODGING .BarroOms Run Wide Open. Claret Flows From Will yards Eye After Cut
 Is Opened

Toledo, July 2.-Sweeping down upon this city, situated on the
 shores of Lake Erie, by every
 means of modern transportation,
 thousands of boxing enthusiasts
 are tonight seeking places to lay their heads during the 40 odd
 hours that intervene before Jess
 Willard and Jack Dempsey decide
 who hns the better claim to the
 worlds heavyweight pugilistic
 championship. Long lines of rail-
 road trains. strings of steambOats,
 endless chains of automobiles. and
 even occasional airplane, are
 depOsiting their burdens of human
 freight.
 Every arrangement for the caring for the visitors is being tested to the limit and it appears certain that to- morrow night sleeping accommoda- tions will not be available at any price. It was stated this evening that every one of the 25,000 hotel cots and beds had been reserved, while the overflow : was being shunted into private room ing places and huge vacant stores and office buildings filled with cots. On the outskirts and in the parks along the lake front tents are being brought in by. autoists.
 OdlHerlnS or the vanguard began 10 make its presence felt early today. At twilight it was almost impossible ito move about the corridors of the leading hotels except at a slow, wig gllng, lodging, gait, and the novice srubbed sholders with sport celebritie es f from all parts of the continent. It is a estimated that between 50,000 and TO- t 900 visitors will surge into Toledo dur { ing the final 24 hours, and there will of avoid a repetition of the scenes at Reno, before the Johnson-J Jeffries con- ; test. when hundreds of men with rolls or money in Saeir pockets slept or. lumber piles or grass plots.
 AL K. HALL STILL LIVES Many visitors, dry and dusty, found surprising and welcome oasis behind palms and swinging doors of real barrooms, where bri-
 gades of white uniformed attend ants 1OOmed up across the same { old mahogany and, federal ana state laws to the contrary not w1thstandfng, concOcted tinkling

 Toledo.
 Lunch rooms, cafeterias and scores of temporary booths and stalls, erected at vantage points on the side streets and roads leading to the are na, have laid in vast stocks of luncheon material as well as soft drinks, until Toledo appears ready to feed an army of fight fans without the aid of the regular hotel dining room service As if this was not enough, private resi- dences in certain sections of the city

COOPERATIVE STORES

COOPERATIVE stores are springing up
in various parts of Northern West
Virginia. The parntone is located
at Grafton where union railroad men
and other stockholders have made the
Grafton Cooperative store big sue
cess. At Parkersburg railroad men
are organizing such store to be fash
Toned after the one at Grafton. At
Martinsburg, Keyser, Rowlesburg,
Tunnelton, Wendell, Simpson and Cen
fury cooperative stores have been es-
tablished. The plan under which
these stores are operated as outlined
by A. E. Young, manager of the
Grafton store, is for the stockholders
to take an amount of stock which will
be in excess of their purchases for a
Single month so that there is no pos
Isibility of the store losing through
the failure of the payment of ac-
counts. The stores pay six percent on
the stock and the profit in excess of
this amount goes into the business.
making the stock worth more than its
par value. The cooperative stores
in Northern West Virginia do not at
tempt to cut prices but enable the
stockholders to get the profits on their
own buying.

SHUR COUNTIES, w. VA.
SURVEYED

WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. "a
To determine the nature of soil types
in Barbour and Upshur Counties, w
Va, in order that local farmers may
be assisted in fitting crops to soils to
best advantage, the Bureau of Soils
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, in cooperating with the
West Virginia Geological Survey, has
made a soil survey of the counties.
A report of the survey, just publish
ed by the department, contains col
ored soil map of the two counties.
showing the approximate locations of
farms and the extent and distribu-
ton of the various soil types The
report contains 81 pages of text de-
scribing the soils and discussing their
capabilities. 1t also includes a brief
historical and geographical sketch of
the region surveyed, together with
statistics relating to the climate and
farm practices. The survey CLASHES
the soils in nine series, four of which
are upland, one terrace or second bot
tom, and four first bottom or flood
plains. Copies of the report may be
had free on application to the United

NEW ETHICAL VALUATIONS

The church of today is coming rap
idly to realize that neither ritual nor
dogma constitutes the end of its ex-
istence and that they do not give any
guarantee of it's permanency. Char
acter, not creed; service, not ortho-
doxy, are the present tests of reli-
gious validity Thus to large ex-
emit a religion of thought has been
replaced by a religion of action, and
metaphysical concepts have come to
be less esteemed than spirit and con-
duct
With this change in view come new
ethical valuations. The stern moral
ity of Puritanism, based upon thror-
etical standards, is giving place to a
practical morality arising out of our
changed social conditions. Virtue no
longer consists in literal obedience to
arbitrary standards set by community
or church, but in conduct consistent
with the highest good of the individ-
ual and society. Thus new human
itarism in religion and ethics has
arisen to take the place of the theor-
etical standards of orthodoxy of
generation ago. 1t rests upon practi-
cal morality and values institutions in
proportion to the service they render
in the formation of human character
and the production of human welfare.
Practical ethics knows no distinc-
ton of sex. Present ethical tenden-
cies are making effective demand for
an equal standard of morals for both
sexes. The social inferiority of wo-
men in all ages due chiefly to their
economic dependence, is largely re-
sponsible for the rise and the per-
sistence of dual standard. With the
change in the social status of women
the necessity for the liberation of
such discrimination is passing away.
The U. S. Public Health Service in
cooperation with State Boards of
Health are now actively engaged in a
campaign against Social evils and
their common diseases. The next gen
GRAFTON will doubtless see many of the
barriers broken down which now pre-
vent free discussion of the Venereal
Diseases.

HOW MUCH GRAIN TO FEED

Specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture advise
poultry keepers to feed about l quart
of scratch grain and an equal weight
of mash (about LIZ quarts) daily to
Is hens of the general purpose breeds
such as the Plynoth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds or Wyandottes, or about
16 hens of the smaller or egg breeds.
This would be about 1-2 pounds
each of scratch grains and of mash
daily to 100 Leghorns and about 8
12 pounds of each to 100 general
purpose fowls. If hens have free
range or large yards containing green
feed general purpose hen will eat
about rs pounds of feed in year,
while Leghorn will consume about
55 pounds in addition to the green
stuff which she eats.

He Draws Hearts of Men.

On that day when our Lord Jesus
Christ was lifted up, all sorts of peo-
pie were drawn to him. There were
those who loved him dearly at the foot
Of the Cross. There were scribes, and
learned men, and aristocrats, and
priests and common people There
were simple peasants from the coun-
fry, shepherds from the hills, and a
irotley crowd from the city streets.
There were Roman soldiers and Cali
an pilgrims. 1t was crowd repre-
sentative of all the worlds people, and
today when he is lifted up even as of
old, he draws to himself the hearts
of men.

The first carpet was created, not
made; and Adam and Eve used to
stroll across its velvety surface while
they looked into one another's dreamy
eyes and saw apples. Thus the first
parents were the original discoveries
of grass carpetings. In succeeding
centuries people went out into the des
erts and waste places where they lost
tn art of joy-walking. But the time
came when inquiring intellects solv-
ed the problem as to why the marches
of Wisconsin and Minnesota were lux
uriant in a vegetable growth known
to botanists as carix stricta, and to
the home-folks as wire-grass. The
answer was grass rugs. Deltox, as
I it develops through the surveys made
by the Agricultural Department,
which has prepared interesting thesis
on the subject of carix stricta, is as
logical to commerce and industry as
was the fall of the Kaiser to the high
er civilization of the Universe.
Most natural products that grow in
profusion have afdefnite place in the
scheme of Creation, which eventually
inventive genius unfolds; and we may
expect that some day somebody will
answer the demand of big clientele
by selling cactus done up in packages
de luxe, thus separating that waste
full product from its exclusive place
as the background for movie films.
Wire grass was nearly as far re-
moved as cactus from the useful pur-
poses of society before the grass rugs
were perfected, ready for Offices,
homes and bungalows, by the inven-
tive creations at Oshkosh.
Ordinary grass has joints and
branches, and will not stand friction,
crumpling, or wear-it is a sort of
staff of life, or bread and cake for
live stock. But carix stricta, despite
the attempt to conceal its identity un-
der an elusive botanical name, is all
different. 1t is long, slender, joint
less vegetable growth, and grows as
high as timothy or oats, in a single
stem. The fibre is round and is en-
cased in hard outer wrapper, which
is removed in the rug making pro-
Icesses. Wire grass is as essential to
making good grass rugs as broom
corn is to the grover who now sells
brooms at. dollar apiece as a means
of hardening his conscience before
sanding the sugar and watering the
gasoline tank out front. These are
high spots concerning grass-rugs that
have excited the attention of the Gov
eminent because of their splendid
progress in commerce; rugs that have
fattened themselves out so extensi-
vely as to prove their success beyond
all question. And at the rate these
floor coverings are winning their way,
the cycles of time may find grass rugs
used as extensively in buildings as
were carpets out of doors when the
first man and woman kept house and
were afraid of other things besides
the dark.
