COSSACkS BEATEN
BY RUSSIAN REDS
Admiral kolchak's Forces Continue to
Retreat in Ural Observation-Disclosures
vik Drive is Gaining Headway-
A Blow to Entente Policy.

London, Aug. 4.-The retreat in the
Ural Mountains of the forces of Ad-
miral Kolchak continues, according to
news received here today. At the
southern end OF the Urals, it is added,
the Bolsheviki have driven the Co.'S
sacks back sixty miles and are endeav-
oring to separate them from the main
body of the Kolchak forces, who are
fighting on both sides of the trans
Siberian railway.
East of Cheliabinsk, junction
point on the railway, and Shadrinsk
the Bolsheviki are said to have reached
the line of the Mass and Isset rivers
and captured Tiumen, just east of the
Russian Siberian border. The advices
add that there is no sign that the Boil
shevik advance is likely to be checked
The Associated Press is informed
however, that the general position OF
Admiral Kolchak and his government
is not believed to have been made ma
terially worse by the Bolshevik adj
vance, and barring the unexpected col
lapse of Admiral Kolchak, the NUM-
tons America is sending should ar
rive in Siberia in time to aid in his
recovery.
Nevertheless it is admitted here
that the severe reverses suffered by
Admiral Kolchak are a serious blow
to the policy of the entente in Russia
Better news has been received from
South Russia, where General Petlura
the Ukrainian anti-bolshevik leader is
progressing rapidly toward Kiel with
view to cutting the railways south
ward toward Odessa, which probably
will have to be evacuated by the So
Wet forces. The Russian volunteer
troops under General Denikine are
closing in on Odessa from the north
east and the east and it is believed
that the whole Black Sea coast soor
will be out of Bolshevik hands.

THIS PLANE MAKES CYCLONE.
Gale From PrcpelIors Causes Commc-
ton Fourth of Mile Away.

Zion City. ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Tn testing
the motors of the big Lawson biplane
in Milwaukee the propellers threw a
stream of air that tore through the
wide open door of the fifteen foot build
ing in which 1t is housed and struck
the Rosenthal Corn Husker plant, q
quarter of a mile away. 1t caused
such a stir among the employees OF
the plant. that they thought cyclone
had hit the place. An S00-pound box
to which the tail was anchored with
stout steel cables and held by three
men, was tossed about by the gale.
The propellers are ten feet six
inches long and are driven by two 400

TINE TO ACT
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of
Kidney Illness--Profit by Mena
Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dizzy
spells are frequent symptoms of kid
ney disorders. It's an error to neg
lect these ills. The attacks may pass
off for a time but generally return
with greater intensity. Don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, and keep up their use until the
desired results are obtained. Good
work in Mena proves the effective
ness of this great kidney remedy.
Mrs. N. l.. McEachern, Reeves St.,
Mena, says: Several years ago !
was troubled with my kidneys. / had
terrible backache and sharp shooting
pains in the region of my kidneys that
were like a knife running thru me.
When l stopped over / could hardly
straighten up again. My kidneys act
ed very irregular A friend advised
me to use Doan's Kidney Pills so
did. Three boxes of this medicine
cured me. Ny back is now as strong

PRUNE YOUR BLACKBERRIEs.
Old Canes Should Be Cut Out to Make
Room for New.

Little Rock, Aug. 17.-Now that the
crop of blackberries has been gathered
the old canes that bore the crop this
year should be removed, according to
horticulturists with the University of
Arkansas. who give the following in
formation on pruning: "The best
way to do this is to take pair of lap
ping shears and cut all of the old bril-
airs close to the ground, then with a
pair Of heavy leather gloves on the
hands pull these old canes out, doing
as little damage as possible to young
canes.
"The young canes should be topped
about the time they reach a height CT
3h to 4 feet. This will cause them to
sent out side shoots and hence make
more fruiting wood for next years
crop"

Daddy Long Legs"

NOVEMBER 20-21-22.

Prune Strike Broken at John Grier Or
phanage by Contents of Hard Cider
Jug-Genius of Director Develops
Humor in Child Tragedy of Daddy
Long Legs Newest Mary Pick
ford Film.
Humor, with tears that tread upon
smiles, is the keynote of Daddy Long Legs,
screen version of the famous story by
Jean Webster, in which Mary Pickford
will be seen at the Auditorium. In this,
the first of the productions to be made by
her very own company Miss Piekford,
as Judy Abbott, easily has the best role
of her career. As poor orphan child, ev-
er helping those about her and making
| the most of cruel treatment, she finally
rises to wonderful heights.
! The picture was directed by Marshall
/ Neilan, one of the new wonders of the
screen world Mr.. Neilan is foremost i'll
the new generation of producers and a
very young man, but already he has won
the name of The Mark Twain of the
Screen, so human and humorous are his
touches. The early part of Daddy Long
Legs is especially full of laugh-winning
situations of many sorts.
How the pathetic little ones carry on
when the hypocritical matron is trying tt
make them show off, for the trustees O
the institution; how they go on strik,
against prunes; and how Judy Abbot
(the sunshiny little orphan played b,
Miss Pickford) aided by a freckled-fac'
little boy, play tricks upon the matron'
daughter, are only a few of the hnnorou
episodes in which the picture abounds.
As we'll as being picture which vii
tug at the heart strings of every parent
Daddy Long Legs will make the childrel
and the childless elders laugh, for Their
are dozens of sweet and funny little chi
dren in it, who play the parts of orphan
in the great home where the early par
of the action is laid.-Adv.
