"SOWING SEEDS OF VICTORY"
WILL BE SHOWN IN MOVIES
Star, Which Is Cooperating With National
War Garden Commission, Provides
Booklet and Will Publish Lessons. {

Look for the famous poster by
James Montgomery Flagg at your ia
vorite picture show, for where you
see the girl Sowing the Seeds of
Victory" you will find the garden
movie that is to be shown in the cam
paign of the national war garden
commission with which The Star is
cooperating. Food f. O. b. the kitch-
en- door is the thing. Have you the
garden book? Better get it at The
Star office or send tWo-cent stamp
to the Garden Editor.
The theater managers are glad to
cooperate with the national war gar
den commission in it's drive to in
crease home food production. The
bookings are being worked out and
will be announced within a day or
two. In the meantime get the free
garden book which The Star wants
every gardener to have.

THE theater managers are respond
ing to the request for aiding in the
home food production campaign. and
want to take this opportunity to
thank them. Similar campaigns are
on all over the country. In Philadei

have been taken over by one booking
agency and are being shown in sew
enty-six theaters.
army has big plans under way, and
the cooperation of The Star in help

right hands will have wonderful re-
suits"
Will Publish Lessons.
The Sunday Star will start shortly
a regular series of detailed garden
instruction lessons. These will carry
the gardener along step by steI
through the planting and growing
season. These will show just how to
care foR the different vegetables, as
we'll as giving many other features
which the home food grower may
find it important to know.
one OF the Things 10 CONSIDER at tHe
present moment is the preparation OF
seed boxes and of hotbeds and cold
frames. This means that the gardener
will have an early start and that he
often will be able to make gain OF
several weeks when it comes to the
actual planting in the open. In this
way he will begin to enjoy the fruits
of his labor sooner than otherwise.
About six or seven weeks before
the plants may be transplanted to the
garden is the time to start the seed
box. The seeds should first be tested
for germina ton. You can make a
simple tester in few minutes. Take
dinner plate and cut a piece of blot
ting paper or other thick soft paper
without printing on it to fit into the
plate. Cut another piece of paper the
same size. Pour enough water to wet
both papers. Then take ten to fifty
seeds and place them between the pa
pers. Keep the plate in ordinary
room temperature and the papers

Hussein Bey gave his word of honor
to remain strictly neutral, observe in
every way the obligations which hos
p1taiity imposes and to refrain espe-
cially from attempting to communi-

States.
No complaints ever reached the State
Department regarding the conduct of
Hussein Bey since America decided to
enter the war.
The Turkish diplomat came to the
United States about four years ago.
He was identified with what is known
as the Young Turks the party

He had been in feeble health for sew

In the case of Hussein Bey the State

had handed him his passports. This

De ANGELS ON COMIC OPERA
Praises Gilbert Sullivan knowledge
of "SinqabIeness"

Jefferson de Angels in his Ko-ko
costume was talking between the acts
of THE Mikado" at the Chestnut
Street Opera House.
You might think that the Gilbert
and Sullivan practice Of considering
vocal possibilities and limitations would
appeal to any operetta writer as com
mon sense, but the deplorable efact is
that many writer's of musical comedy
are lacking in a practical knowledge of
stage effect. I have known composers
to write a note in F sharp into a BARI
tones part. OF course. the baritone
couldn't sing it he could make a noise,
squawk, but not a tone. Then the
audience, or that part of it that doesn't
know the practical side of singing,
thinks that the baritone is unqualified
for his work
IF opera comique continues to grow
in popularity, and there are signs that
it will, the theatre will find new and
expanding public in the new generation
Of playgoers and draw back many of the
older theatgoers, who seem to have
been alienated from the playhouse by
too much piffle. Now, though Gilbert
and Sullivan did much for the players
who sing and act their roles, these roles
are exacting in their demands upon
! the players for individuality, precision
and elegance of execution. That is tn,
sort of work players art grows on"

KENTUCKY PASTOR
DEFIES HEALTH LAWS
Rev. Boyce Taylor Much In Types
Lately, Creates New Excitement
BY Defy Of Health Authorities.

Murray, KY, January 29-Following
a stormy session in county court here
today, which resulted in the assess
ment of a fine Of 800 and costs
against the Rev. Boyce Taylor for con-
Quoting services in the Murray Bap-
fist church last Sunday in violation
of Board of Health orders, the indie
xfatigible parson was still unconvinced,
and tonight he carried out his threat
made at the courthouse today that
there would be prayer meeting as
usual" tonight. There was fair
sized crowd In attendance, too.
The authorities were on hand, took
the name Of every person in attend
ance and declared that there would
be warrant issued for every one Of
them tomorrow.
In his trial today Taylor refused to
have lawyer, but harangued the
CO lrt for As minutes, declaring that
the law had no right to close the doors
of a church, as he held that the church
took precedence over the law.
He insisted that, in spite of the fine
and the order of the court, he would
continue to hold services, and that the
usual Wednesday night prayer meet
ing would take place, as we'll as the
services next Sunday.
Taylor was warned by County At
torney Hays that he would be arrest
ed again if he continued to defy the
law and that warrants would be
sworn out for every person who at
tended the services while the influ-
enza ban Is on.
The police of Murray have de-
clared they will support the sheriff in
his efforts to see that the law is not
violated.

Maysyillians in Returning Dough Boys
Who Cheer as Ship Docks at
Newport News.

Newport, News, Va, January 80 -
Cheering and shouting their Joy to be
back again in the old U. S. A., the
boys of Batteries and c, 325th Field
Artillery, came ashore last night from
the big transport Zeelandia, IL days
after sailing from Bordeaux.
Batteries B and c were trained at
Camp Taylor and are made up princi-
pally of Kentucky and Indiana men,
although numbering also about a
score of Ohioans.
After a couple days in the rest
camp here they will be sent back to
Camp Taylor for muster out.
Among the Maysvillians aboard
were John Heffernan and Pierce
"Nipsy" Redmond.
Battery C was commanded by Cap
tain E. B. Albeit of Louisville; Bat
terry B by Captain Charles Reese OF
Rochester, Ind.
These boys Of the 325th say they
come back to the states better Amer
leans than when they left.

and greatest country of them all" was
the sentiment expressed by half the
men.
One of the men looked at his wrist
watch, which still carried French
time.
France is five and one-half hours
ahead of us by the watch" he said,
"but 400 years behind us in progress.
"The way the mass of the people
live and work there is like what our
