COLISEUM TO SHOW "GREAT VICTORY" FOR LAST TIME TONIGHT.

A distinguished audience packed the Coliseum theatre yesterday to see the widely-heralded Screen Classics Inc, super-feature, The Great Vic tory, Wilson or the Kaiser? The Fal of the Hohenzollerns," which was the big attraction, and to say that they received it with enthusiasm and ap preciation is to put it mildly. It will be seen for the last time tonight.
 When the first few scenes of tha picture showed, President Wilson, the idol of the nation, the house did him honor and it was with the sane amount of energy-though in an en tirely different manner of showing = that the flashes of the Kaiser were received.
 AS the play progressed, depicting the many horrible events for which the Prussian monarch is responsible the feeling grew more intense, and when such incidents as the sinking of the Lisitania, the torpedoing oi hospital ships loaded with wounded and dying and the terrible execution ~of the martyred Red Cross nurse Edith Cavell, were shown, it was as if the brutalities were happening be fore the eyes of those who gazed with bated breath on the vivldIesa of the scenes.
 Very clever was the way in which the lives of the two most talked of men--Wilson and the Kaiser-were depicted, from their earliest infancy up to the present day The birth ol the royal infant-in state and pomf his young life surrounded by all the restrictions of servile court his companions subservient and cringing from his earliest recollec tions, and who, as he grew older learned to be cruel and hard to those who sought his favor, unruly and djsobedient to those in authority over him and with no love or respec; for anyone bus himself gave sharp contrast between the ideals instilled into the youth of the two rahons.
 Quickly turning from this unnatural and unwholesome state the scenes o. the play takes the observer to the modest and comfortable home of the Wilson's to whom son had just been born-a child looked for and wei comed into the. world with a. great loye-the idol of his companions and parents and with playmates of his own choosing-a typical American home where the boy grows up to heapthy, happy manhood for the greater glory of his country.
 Words are inadequate to describe the enthusiasm with which the pic ture was received and it's merit is enhanced by the number of stars thirty in number-who play the lead ing roles in the production. This super-feature is the, of Director Charles Miller under the personal supervision of Maxwell Karger, direc tor general of the Metro studios, MT Ranger also wrote the story from which the play was adapted.

One Of the greatest achievements Of
the farm labor activities conducted by
the United States department of agri-

ing sections all over the country where

Z As a result of, this cooperation crops

In Oregon, 10000 in Missouri, $4,000 in
Indiana, $4,000 in Illinois, and proper
tionate numbers in practically all 9TH
er states. The farmer has thus learned
that local town and city folks can as
sist greatly in this emergency work and
has come to look with favor upon their
cooperation. The effect has been to
bring farmer and town resident into
m6Ie cordial relations.
The results achieved along this line
r especially helpful toward provid-
ing the harvest labor needed in a con-
stantly enlarging agricultural pro-
gram. Too much emphasis, it is be-
lieved, cannot be placed on the phase
Of the movement that has to do with
bringing into close cooperation and
alignment all the forces which have
or less to do with the labor prob.
lem and framing a program that will
eliminate as far as possible the loss
due to having an O%versupply Of labor
at certain places and shortage at 9TH
ers, and that will make possible the
8 Of all the local labor to the fullest
extent and thus ave transportation of
workers from distant areas and neces-
sary loss of time occasioned in such
travel. e..
The success In dealing with the
farm labor situation during the past
year is thought to justify confidence in
meeting any situation that may de-
velop in 1919.

Advance of the serum and virus
treatment for hog cholera is credited
with being largely responsible for re-
cent great development Of the traffic
In stocker and feeder hogs, 1t Is esti-
mated that more than 37,5OO,OOO
pounds of pork were added to the ma
tons supply by this traffic in the fis-
cal year that ended June 80, although
regulations were modified to help the
industry only on January 2. Further
notable growth Of the traffic is ex-
pected.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, there were 254,731 head Of swine
inspected and immunized against
hog cholera by inspectors Of the bu-
rea Of animal industry at public
stock yards and shipped to country
points for feeding and breeding pur-
poses. The average weight of these
animals at the time of i~mmunization
was approximately 100 pounds. Prob
ably 25O,OOO Of the number were
shipped for feeding purposes and later
were returned to the markets at an
average weight of 25O to 275 pounds,
giving an approximate total increase
of from 81, 1000 to 43,5OO,OOO pounds
of pork.

gering losses from that disease. The
United States department of agricul-
ture thereupon issued an order pro-
hfbiting the interstate shipment Of
hogs from public stockyards except for
Immediate slaughter. The effect of
that ordek was that all lightweight
hogs-some Of them young sows suit
able for breeding-sent to the markets
were slaughtered, and the pork which
would have been produced, had they
grown to maturity, as well as the po-
tentfal breeding value of the sows, was
consequently lost.
In addition, the fact that many of
these animals were not especially de-
sirable for slaughter made them bring
comparatively low prices, frequently
resulting in actual loss to the shippers.
Quarantine Order Modified.
After the serum and virus treatment
against hog cholera was standardized
by specialists Of the department, an
order was issued permitting swine to
be shipped from public stockyards for
feeding or breeding purposes when
they had been given such treatment I'M
der the supervision Of q department
inspector. However, 1t was required
that treated swine should be held in
the yards n days before shipment,
this period being later reduced to IA
days. The cost Of feeding the ami
mails during the quarantine period
was so great that the traffic did not
reach any considerable proportions.
But with added knowledge and ex-
perience In the control Of hog cholera,
and am%plification Of state laws govern
ing its control, the department thought
Il safe to permit the shipment Of treat
ed hogs at once to points in states
which have regulations requiring that
such animals be held In local quafan-
tine until n days have elapsed since
the date Of treatment. The order per.
hitting this became effective on Janu-
sary 2, 1913.
Previous to that date, shipments Of

There are going to be lots OF grass
hoppers during the summer Of 1919 In
Indiana and other states In the grass
hopper belt, according to indications
found by entomologists Of the depart
ment Of agriculture and the state agri-
cultural colleges. Farmers are urged
to start a cleanup campaign against
them right away. Flowing to a depth
Of six Inches and subsequent harrow
Ing during the winter, at any event not
later than April 10, will cover the eggs
SO deep that the young will not be able
to escape. When grasshoppers make
their appearance they can be destroyed
by the common poisoned bait method.
But there is another way Of getting
rid. Of grasshoppers that makes the
pests pay for the trouble OF killing or
catching them. This method consists
Of driving a grasshopper catcher
through an infested field, catching all
the grasshoppers that hop, and then
feeding the insects TO chickens. They
can be dumped ~intotsacks and hung up
to dry and fed as dry grasshoppers, or
If it is preferred to feed the grasshop-
pers alive, the machine can be hauled
to the poultry yard and placed SO that
the front will face the light. The In
sects will find their way out, but not
too fast for an ordinary flock Of chick
ems. Thus the grasshopper catcher be-
comes a poultry self-feeder.
An analysis of grasshoppers shows
them to be high in protein, and there
fore good chicken feed. It is known
that chickens are more productive
when insects r a part of their ration
and grasshoppers when dried can be
used with other feeds during the win
ter.
How to Make Grasshopper Catcher.
The grasshopper catcher, which has
an advantage W the old style hop
perdozer, in that the insects can be
utilized for chicken feed, is about 16
feet long with an upright but curved
piece Of tin in front and so arranged
that the grasshoppers will strike it as
they hop up, falling to the bottom and
back through a narrow trap opening
into a box behind. The tin front does
not extend quite to the bottom, where,
just in front Of the tin shield, is q strip
of tin placed SO that there is an.open-
ing about ia or 2 inches wide. This
front strip or lip may be made by using
a 16-foot length of gutter, n side of
which is fattened outward. The back
and top OF. the box in the rear is COW
