POIII'S.

Review: A whole lot of hilarious entertainment Is wrapped up in the farcical comedy, The Mormon" which is featured in the loi1l at Polls the last half of the week. Fred J. Ardath and company are responsible for i{. It is a. travesty throughout and holds many comedy situations and an unusual climax tops off the gayety.
 Johnny Get Your Gun is the title of the feature photoplay in which Fred Stone is starred. Stone is the same acrobatic comedian of old and his trials and tribulations when as a cowboy he breaks into society form the basis of a plot for a very inter eStinE film comedy. Some views of the aeros that are entered in the pro posed transatlantic flight and other timely topics are included in the Pathe News.
 Something unusual and interesting is the exposition of jiu jitsu as a means of self-defense is presented by the Naki Japs. How attacks with a gun and knife and other weapons are repulsed with seeming ease offers one of the pleasing features of this act
 William and Mary Rogers have a very amusing comedy skit. in which they offer a program of songs and chatter that brings them q whole lot of favor
 Comic songs Of their own compost tion are the chief feature of the of- fering of McDsTnnott and Heagney. Their material is good and they han ale il in an entertaining sort of way.
 Hart and Ifmoni are very good in their whirfwind dances which intro duce some intricate steps. A power ful young woman adds d novelty to this act by her feats of physical ILrUwess.

 Marion Davies enjoys comedy-dra- ma and that probably is what she will appear in largely now. Her little wink in The Belle of New York" seems to have brought out her latent talents as q coInedienne and Getting Mary Married,'' her latest picture seems further to esta b1ish her along comedy lines. So it's comedy for Marion, 1t would seem.

THE PLAZA, fRPVipw

Every mother who has known a son, and every son who has known a mother will be interested in R. A Walsh's colossal photo-spectacle now being shown at the Plaza theatre It presents the woman's side of the World War. The leading role is taken by Charlotte Walker, the well known stage star. She portrays a wife and mother who gives three sons and her husband to the cause of lib erty. Her struggle between mother love and patriotism is a powerful de- lineauon of character
 The feature act is Buck Hart, pre- sented by Raymond Fisher Buck is a. big man of the plains, as one can plainly see and releases himself from handcuffs of all sorts, also a straight jacket while suspended in the air by his feet. He is said to be one of the finest lock experts in the world and can release himself from any vault or safe or police cell with little or no trouble. MT. Hart's stunt with a. package of forty needles was round Iy applauded by the large audience. He has a distinct novelty and his ex- hibition was quite interesting. Simp- son and Dean, Broadway favorites, in q comedy diversion, were a hit. Their song and dance capers were encored several times. Both are clever per- formers and put real live material over in an unusual manner. Rehm and MarIow, two girls in piano and song offering, were big favorites Both girls have talent and show it to good advantage. Peat and Stevens, the colored man and the Chinaman in a comedy skit were given a. good share of the evenings honors. Gau- mont News was also interesting.

LYRIC.

"The Easiest Way" now being pre- sented by the Poli Players at the Lyric theatre, Is replete with action, thrills, pathos and comedy and the dramatic situations follow each other in such rapid succession that the audi ence is literally kept on it's feet from the time the curtain raises until it's final drop on the last act.
 Alice Clements, the charming lead ing lady, is unusually good In the character of Laura Murdock. Miss Clements has some powerful lines to deliver and her method has won for her success exceeding her most san guine hopes. Walter Marshall, who is seen in the role of the rich broker, also has occasion for some good work and his manner of getting it over is worthy of special mention.
 Next week the Players will be seen in a play that should prove univer- sally Interesting not alone because of it's title but of what it contains. "The Marriage Question" is one that has been a source of much mystery to a majority of people and will probably remain so for centuries to come, but in this production the author makes an effort to answer it in part.

 So be it.
 Mir. Theatremen Chere are a few in town) get busy and avoid being ''sandbagged" into wasting your money where it brings no result. Screen lovers have always been with "us'' and always will be as there is no noticeable competition with the Times theatrical page. The Times page (we have heaps of letters to prove it) is read by those interested in motion pictures and theatricals as we furnish real news that folks en- joy reading every evening. This isn't self praise but FIsCTS.
 There are a number of persons in town who have chronic "passitis." Tha main syxaptom of this disease is the continual begging oE "ComplemeR- trtes' for a show. Each newspaper in nearly every city is given so many passes for a show. This is a cour- tesy extended by the house manager to the press but when 1t becomes q habit for socallcd newspaper men to ask for four or five times the paper $ allotment-most times demanded (yes, demanded is tho right word) by men TO more capable of reviewing a show than a new born infant-1ti s high time theatre managers learn to give out passes only where it will do some good.
 A worth while newspaper distributes passes in such a manner that every one on the editorial staff has 8 chance to secure a pair of seats" once a week, and not always handed to a certain few.
 This isn't a hint because our taff IS competent to review perform ance. and haven't the time nor the desire to use a pass myself But theatremen should awaken to the fact that in several cases their good na- lures are being imposed upon.

THE LAND TAX BILL.

The Stevens Resolution, adopted by the Arkansas House Thursday is going to come home to practically every farmer and planter in Jefferson County and this section of the state. The resolution proposed an amend ment to the state constitution provid- ing that the state legislature might enact law for graduate land tax on holdings exceeding LIDO acres.
 Although in introducing the bill Mir. Stevens denied that there was anything in it that smacked of Social ism, the bill plainly advocates that the planter and the large investor bear the burden of taxation. while the small landholder is exempt Why des- criminate? A pro-rated tax would not work hardship on any one. And there>would be no danger of progress sive small farmers reaching the 1000 acre limit and refusing to purchase more land to put under cultivation be- cause of the additional tax proposed.
 The large land owner is not de- triment to the state. In fact great many improvements such as levees, drainage ditches, good roads, etc, have been constructed by big planters where in a locality made up of small land owners Improvements independ- ent of the state are in many in- stances impossible.
 One of the chief arguments in sup port of the bill is that it would en- courage and enable the farming class es of the state to own their own farms. They should be encouraged and aided in every way possible, but hard ly at the expense of the large land owners, and possible to the detriment of improvement work within the state.
 The Senate voted to postpone the measure indefinitely. And if the senators will go into the details, of the matter a little more deeply, un- doubtedly a more practical solution can be found before the bill comes up again.

So I asked him, "Tell me true, Are you Pole or Russian Jew, English, Scotch, Italian, Russian, Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian, Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian" Then he raised his head on high, As he gave me this reply: "What I was is naught to me, In this land of Liberty; In my soul, as man to man, l am just American.

HAZARD IN LATE
 COTTON VARIETIES
Planters Are Warned Not To Forget Lessons of Past in Planning
 For 1919. ..
By w. E. Ayers, Arkansas College of
 Agriculture and Experiment Sta

 tion.
 Do no; forget the lessons of the past. Late varieties of cotton for seeding should not be considered any more favorable in 1919 than they were in 1918. Remember the wealth CT conditions during the last growing season were especially favorable for late cotton and there was no boil weevil menace. Early maturing va rieties will undoubtedly be the best for 1919 and every one should get a supply of good seed soon.
 Early Varieties Safest.
 Plots of cotton planted on the Scotts Branch Station of the Arkan- sas Experiment Station, on June 1st and 18th, 1918, produced more cotton than plots of the game variety plant ed at the normal planting time, April 20 to May 10, but these late planted plots did not make the seed back" in 1917. The same relation has existed between the yields of early and late varieties in these two years. The late varieties have had the advantage in 1918, but the pros poets are good now for heavy boil weevil infestation in 1919 and if these prospects materialize, the ear lv maturing varieties will have . "come back"
 Express Early and Consistent
 YieIder. '.'
 Many farmers in the river bottoms are dissatisfied with Express cotton. This dissatisfaction is due, primarily, to two characters of the variety: The lint percentage is low and the cotton is difficult to pick. These are rather serious objections, but they are far less serious than crop failure. Ex' press is one of the earliest varieties and is very consistent yielder. If long staple cotton is to be grown, 1t N unquestionably the safest variety to plant where earliness Is a factor in production. Webber, Foster and Columbia are standard long staple varieties, but they are later than Ex- press.
 Some Reliable Short Varieties. Trice is the earliest standard short staple variety producing lint an incn long. It is consistent yielder, out has objectionable characters. Il yields only 32 per cent of lint and 74 of its bolls are required to make a pound of seed cotton. Cleveland Triumph, Rowden and Lone Star are reliable varieties which rank in the order named in earliness. The lartet are all big boiled varieties and have high lint percentage. Cleveland is less storm proof than the others. 1 Good Seed Are Scarce.
 Remember good planting seed are very scarce The supply has been cut by labor shortage and by the very severe drought over large areas of the cottor belt during the growing season Don't delay getting a sup ply of good seed of the varieties best suited to your conditions. Write tr Arkansas Experiment Station at Fay etteville for bulletins on cotton pro duction.

CRAWFORD COUNTY FARMERS THE FIRST IN THE STATE TO SHIP HOGS AND CATTLE CO., oPERATivELY.

Crawford county farmers have been the iirst in the state to ship hogs and cattle comparatively and to recognize the advantages to be derived from marketing their surplus in this way, according to ]. H. Tull, Marketing Agent, University of Arkansas, who says, live stock growers throughout the state can well afford to write to the Office of Markets. Southern Trust Building, Little Rock, and get ths plan adopted by the people of Craw- ford county.
 Small Shipper Protected and Higher
 Prices Secured.
 The work of any cooperative ship ping club should result in great ben fit to the members because the grow CTS can finish off and ship their ani- mals when ready and not be depend cnt on some local or transient buyer to come and get them. It will also prevent buyers from discriminating against local producers who have small lots of low grade animals. By getting together and shipping out the surplus in this way. the local mar kets are protected for the animals which it is desired tc dispose of at home. Growers shipping together al so prevent local buyers from making exhoribtant profts and also prevents them from organizing and possibly fixing a price for all animals in cer- tain communities.
 Command Better Service.
 By loading out cars comparatively, sn,all growers get the benefit of car loads lots and an organization can and will command the respect of tho railroad companies. thus getting cars more promptly. better shipping pen facilities, and much better all-round service. An organization can also have for reasonable amount per sonal attendant accompanying ship ments to market and this will un' doubtedly result in mutual benefit"
