FAIR AND WARMER
COMING TO BOISE
IN PICTURE soon
Celebrated Farce Booked for
the Strand, Manager An
nounces-Story of Married
Life Mix-up.

A clever adaptation of the celebrat ted
stage farce, Fair and Warmer" en-
acted by May Allison and other pho
toplay celebrities, will be shown short
ly at the Strand, Manager B. w. Bick-
ert announced today.
In detail the photoplay production of
the farce sticks pretty close to the or
iginal stage production. except that 1T
has the advantage of the usual screen
effects which cannot be expressed In
words. 1t is classed as an 'inoffensive
farce"
1t is the story of a wife who sup
poses her husband is false and of her
efforts to make him jealous. II starts
off by emphasizing the extreme devo-
ton of May and her husband, Pell
Trenton, for each other.
Pell very carelessly makes a date to
attend a meeting OF the Mystic
Shrine" on the night that May and he
are TO visit their neighbors, Billie and
Laura, on the floor below. However.
BilIy's butterfly wife has made a the
alter engagement with Phil Evans, q
friend Of her pre-marriage days.
This calls off the date as far A. the
two couples are concerned. and May
is left to console poor Billy while
hubby Pell leaves for his meeting"
In reality a poker game with the boys
at the club.
Left alone with May, Billy proceeds
to bemoan the fact that he II too easy
with his wife-that he should take
some Of Pelrs advice and Hit the
high spots" once In a while, all OF this
leading May to believe hubby IL not
true to her.
Right then and there Billy and May
concoct a Comprising" arrangement
to arouse the jealousies of their re-
spective better halls.
They start off by mixing q cocktail,
neither Of them knowing q think about
liquor. From here on the picture IL

CAPT. e. w. HANCOCK
SAW HAIG IN LONDON
Son of MIR. and Mrs. w. G. Hancock
of Min6t Writes Fine Letter
About His Experiences in
Worlds Metropolis

Capt. Ernest G. Hancock, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Hancock of this
city has written an unusually interest
ing letter to his parents. Capt. Han
cock is graduate of the Northwest
ern University, Chicago, and enlisted
in the Medical Corps from the Michael
Reese hospital and went overseas as
member of the Canadian forces.
The letter follows:
Bramshot, Dec. 20, 1918.
Dear Mother and Dad:
I've moved again-this time rather
permanently, / hope, or rather, I'm
afraid. Because Bramshot isn't the
most pleasant place in England by a
long ways.
l believe l left you just as we reach
ed Liverpool, if | repeat, there's no
harm done. / guess, seeing as these
letters are mostly for my own amuse-
ment. Anyway, we got our first view
of England on Thursday morning,
morning, Dec. 10th. We were to
leave for London at 200 o'clock, so
we had to have dinner in Liverpool.
We were directed to the hotel and
started out. Everything looked new
and strange-stree cars were small
short affairs, with seats on the top,
the conductors were almost all girls.
We went part of the way on the ele-
waited, and it looked so much like
the Chicago L that could almost
imagine myself in old "Chi". The
streets We're narrow and winding, with
no two blocks the same size and few
square corners. We had very good
dinner, as have found out later, but
there was no butter and no sugar.
Tea was served in separate room
and cost six-pence Dinner cost So,
do you get that? I am becoming
quite expert on English money. I
can change a pound into half crowns
and forms and usually get it right.
We found our train all right and
a queer looking train it was, too. The
coaches are small and light, the en-
CINE likewise, giving one the impress
sion of toy railroad. The cars
are divided into compartments, each
separate from the others and opening
to the outside. One never sees con-
ductor, or guard as he is called, ex-
cept at the stations. We travelled
first class, and found the train very
comfortable. The motion of the train
was delightful, never jar or jerk.
They run very fast, too. There are
no diners on most trains, so they bring

mot even springs.

Shorncliffe is right near the sea and
the damp cold breeze was going right
thru US. But we made the best Of
it, rolling up our coats for pillows
and sleeping between the blankets
with most of our clothes on. The
next day we had fire and some kero-
sene lamps, so it was little better.
We had to put up with that for seven
days, during which we were supposed
to be in quarantine. Supposed is all,
tho-lwe actually went where we
pleased. We were about three miles
from Folkestone, a good sized city,
and only eight miles from Dover, one
of England's principal ports, and the
nearest point to France, only % miles.
We spent Christmas day there in
segregation, so you can imagine what
a Merry Christmas it was. The fol-
lowing Friday, we were sent out to
different points and my lot fell to
Bramshot. But more about that
later.

commissions and the additional freight.

Naturally this took all the fight out
of me and the rest of our crop was
marketed through the jobbers. The
total sales for the 5000 bushels were
$4,000. But these apples cost the
consumer more than $4,000.
l had a new scheme for the ensuing
year. / advertised in the papers or
several towns that we would deliver
fancy No. i apples to the homes OF the
people, with the privilege of inspection
before paying, express prepaid, for 81
a bushel. At that same time the usual
retail market price was more than "a.
We also sent circulars to the people
whose names appeared in the tele-
phone books. As result Of this cam
paign we sold less than 600 bushels,
which did not pay for the cost of the
advertising. Evidently the housewife
is not anxious to save money, or else
she has little faith.
Since then we are going on raising
the best. apples we know how to pro-
duce. We prune and pillow and fer
tilize. We spray carefully. We pick
by hand with the utmost solicitude-
Our apples are large and free from
hitter rot and other blemiSheS.
But we sell them through the job
bers, and we receive an average OK

ing high prices. aad these same apples
cost the retail dealers twice that sum.

to see them the day before and told
them that If they took my apples as
agreed, the jobbers would refuse them

they could buy no more fruit from
the regular wholesale dealers. In self
protection, therefore, the retailers had
! to decline my shipments. The one who
had dared to disobey this drastic or

largest retail firm in the city, which
also conducted a wholesale depart

side Of their business.

on this subject and corresponded with
successful apple growers. BY spring
felt myself competent to assume con-

at what we thought the proper time.
We had large crop-or what seemed
to me a large one-picking more than
1900 bushels Of apples. They were,
however, Of poor grade and AFFECTED
with bitter rot and San Jose scale,
while the eurculio moth made heavy
ravages. Ny net income was $70O.
1 realized now that 1t was neces-
sary to appeal for help. I did SO.
Upon the suggestion of the state
board of agriculture secured the serv-
ices of a young man just graduated
from the college of agriculture, where
he had spent four years in studying
fruit raising, particularly apples. he
came to the farm in January and l
at once put him in complete charge.
He knew his business. believed in
him from the start. To watch him
prune the trees was an inspiration. He
took the utmost care not to infect
one tree from another, using aseptic
solutions with his tools. He cut the
trees till I feared there would be lit
tie left. But most ofaall to be adj
mired was his method Of determining
when and how to spray. From the
various trees he cut cultures which he
forced to grow in fruit jars, and
watched them for the development of
the various kinds Of diseases. With
this knowledge he set his time for
spraying, and mixed his ingredients TO
at the special cases.
The result was astounding; that very
year we harvested more than 5000
bushels of apples, and more than three
fourths of them were of first grade.
NV old farmer neighbors who hal
laughed at the college Teller" who
ran my orchard, now came and admit
ted that he was right and asked him
to give them suggestions with their
