PROHIBITION is
BENEFICIAL TO
MOVIE THEATERS
Male Attendance Greatly
Increases as Nation
Goes Dry

Trenton, N. j., is already feeling a
beneficial effect from war time pro-
hibition in the attendance at motion
picture theatres an1 other places OF
amusement Men who formerly at
tended shows once a week are now
seen to frequent them as often as
three or four times in the same
week.
One patron of a prominent cafe re-
marked that what the men want after
a hard days work is recreation. AS
lonp as the mind cannot be carried
awav from mediocre things in
drinking place it must be carried
awav somewhere else and the movie
theatre and vaudeville house are the
next places in which to obtain relief.
Vitagraph, realizing that in many
places men will turn from the saloon
to the picture houses, has been MAX
inc pictures that would appeal to the
men and give them something Jar
better than the saloon where the
cares and worries of the day could be-
forgotten. "A Girl at Bay" "The
Man Who Won," and Vitagraph's
comedy films are fitting illustrations
of this policy.
Ice is scarce in Trenton and the
high price may result in playhouses
that have been cooling their interiors
by refrigeration disseminating the
practice owing to the oposition that
is now being registered in some cities
against the use of ice when it is need
ed by children, ailing mothers anC
other persons.

AVOID SOUR OR MUSTY FOOD
Severe Losses Will Result From Use
Of Poor Feed During Hot Days
of Summer.

During hot weather sour or musty
food is more apt TO be used for poul-
try feed than in the winter. Severe
losses will result from the use OF
poor feed, so it pays to know the
exact condition of the grain in the
bins which may have been there for
long time. Never allow portions
of the mash to remain in the troughs
on hot days as 1t may become con-
taminated with dirt and then be eaten
by the young stock.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE

Herbert Hoover national food ad-
ministrator, says Lacrosse paper,re-
ports that seaport warehouses in north
ern Europe are packed with foodstuffs
principally meats, fats and dairy pro-
duets, which are in danger of spelling
because there is no market for them!
America spilled its portion of these
goods. They can't be sold, because
the people of Europe lack credit. They
were shipped and stored by specula-
tors, who now hold them for high
prices which can't be paid.
Meanwhile in America the cry of
shortage" goes up to explain high
prices. And the pinch of hunger af-
tiicts large populations in Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia, Germany and the
Baltic states. Four billions in cred
its would be needed, Mr.. Hoover says,
to relieve the situation.

The unsettled conditions prevailing
at this time in all phases of life in
this country, and to an even greater
extent in Europe, are not unusual
when viewed in their relation to the
great war The period following i'm
mediately after the civil war had
many points Of similarity to the con-
ditions as they are today. Prices
were high, speculation rife, and there
was a general unrest which made
many men predict dire results. The
country weathered the storm then;
it viii do so now. The surprising
thing is not that we are experiencing
social, industrial and political unrest,
that is to be expected, rather it is as
surfing that things are not worse. The
magnitude of the recent war is UNI
paralleled in history, but the disturb
ance it has caused in our country has
not as yet reached any unexpected
proportions. There is, of course, a
tendancy to magnify the dangers,
create fear and breed a feeling of
apprehension, but this tendency is be-
ing checked by the cool heads and the
general good sense of the American
people as whole We realize that
the pre-war standards had to be dis
earded when we entered the war. The
government took charge and fixed new
ones to meet the emergency. During
the war we moved along under stand
ards which were abnormal and to a
large extent artificial. Values and
prices during the war must be judged
in their direct relation to war emer-
gencies. With the coming of peace,
adjustments must be made, but nor
NAL conditions cannot be hoped for at
once; it would not be fair to any in
terest to demand it or expect it. A
world that has been dashed into vio-
lent motion by the fury of four year
hurricane of war can only gradually
return to its former calm. Just now
we are in the chaos of the interim
between the war conditions and the
coming normal conditions. The arti-
fetal prices of war times are not yet
replaced by the normal prices of
peace, which must prevail, not as a
result of an emergency, but be deter
mined by the old law of supply and
demand The movement toward more
stable conditions have been, and are,
moreover, checked by extensive up
heavals in the labor world. The
strikes, especially those affecting all
industries that are engaged in turn
ing the raw material into the furnish
ed product, retard or hinder produc-
ton and thereby limit the output.
The demand at the same time being
strong, the check upon normal produc-
ton is at least one of the factors in
the soaring prices. Under these con-
ditions it is well that sober counsel
prevails. This is not the time to en-
courage unrest and turmoil, but rath-
er to counsel conservative opinions as
wellas conservative speech and action.
