FILM EXPOSURE
 OF HUN DOUBLE
 DEALINGS HERE,

The most important announcement made by the management of Thorne's theatre this year tells us that My Four Years in Germany" the pictur- 1zatfon of Ambassador James w. Ger
 $ book of the same name will be The attraction al that theatre this even ing. No screen production has eyer c.pated d more enthusiastic reception.
 ooughout the entire country. t has been proclaimed the most amazing. the most vivid insight into tho causes Of our war with Gerwlnl than thousand speeches or a hun
 .I books could explain. Its wonder u realism has astounded all, for .v-ry scene, every episode is an actual fact, not fiction, while all the subGtles are taken literally from Ambassador Gorards book making rhe entire picture which is in ten reels, absolutely authentic It was
 ,1ucod with the authority and per onal cooperation of Mr. Gerard who edited the scenario and gave his ap- proyaI before it was ever shown to The public.
 Turnout the entire production of rha film, Mr Gerard was in close touch with William Nigh, who direct ed the production and the scenes and incidents have been staged Ei'h the most painstaking care in every de tail.
 Nothing will so clarify in the minds of the public the reason why Ameri- ca went to war with the autocratic dictator of Europe, as this clear and lucid tale of the hidden forces work ing for the future downfall of America and the forces of democracy.
 The results of this German inability to really understand America is clear " hown in the incidents which took place in Germany before the war and in which our ambassador, James ". Gerard, was involved.
 The whole history of German intri- gue, diplomacy and double dealing is exposed in this most intensely interesting and dramatic production , uich has already added it's great page to history.
 Tonight will be our last opportunity
 seeing this great picture. Show starts at S:3O, admission $1.OO.

SAYS PEANUTS ARE.
A PROFITABLE CROP

The peanut is specially
adapted to Arkansas agricul-
ture. 1t is valuable for feed
and profitable for feed. AS a
food it may be used in the
form of sailed peanuts, peanut
candies, peanut butter and as
an ingredient of peanut and
vegetable meats, peanut meal
and salad oils. AS a feed the
thin brown covering of the pea
has value almost equal to
that of wheat bran. The pea
nut hay has a good feeding
value. The vines and peas
chopped or ground together
form almost a balanced ration
for a dairy COW. The peanut
produces a valuable oil. Like
the coW-pea, 1T has the nitro
gen fixation properties and is
therefore a soil-builder and a
soil renovater.
The Spanish variety is best
adapted to Arkansas. 1t ma
lures in so or 100 days, and
may be planted after the oats
have been harvested or be-
tween the corn rows at the last
cultivation of the corn crop.
The distance between plants
varies from A to 16 inches, de-
pending upon the fertility of
r lie soil.
1t is l6e'Ir-in-one crop. 1t
fod, feeo,s fertilizer
nd finance. The yields a91se
rom 80 to 60 bushels per acre,
n the average, and one to two
ons- of hay. The farmers can
make no mistake in listing the
as principal part in
he farm crop rotation.

Mems Full Dress,

viii the returned soldiers who are
said to be ordering cOlOred evening
suits be strong enough to overthrow
the black tradition established by Lord
Lytton?
Very few, perhaps, Of those who
for 90 years have meekly bowed to
that tradition, have known its origin,
says the London Chronicle. Until the
publication of pelham" coats worn
for evening dress were Of different
colors, chiefly brown, green or blue,
but the novelist makes one Of his fe-
male characters tell the hero a blue
coat does not suit his complexion.
"You look best in black" she says,
(which is a great compliment, for
people must be very distinguished in
appearance to do So" And forthwith
all men chose to take the compliment
to themselves.
