hide is to skin the animals head.
cheeks and face. This should be done
while the animal is still suspended.
Always keep tho hide free from meat.
as one Of the common faults Of country
| hides is the presence of more or less
meat usually cheek meat. The next
! step in the operation is to lower the
animal on its back and remove the
skin from the legs, Following this, the
hide should be ripped down the belly
from the sticking cut to the tail, max
ing a neat, straight rip, free from
jagged edges The sides are then
skinned, working forward to the brisk
ct and then back to the inside of the
hind leg. Lift away the hide with the
free hand and stretch it tightly by
pulling outward and upward against
the knife or wooden stick.
Injury Done BY Blood.
Blood is Objectionable on hides, par
tlcularly in the summer, as it Is like
ly to cause the hair to slip from rot
ting or decomposition when the hides
are packed. This may result in hav-
ing otherwise good hides placed in the
No. 2 grade on the market. Care
should be taken to avoid placing any
hides in the pack until they are free
from animal heat. Allow them to lie
folded from three to five hours or suf-
ticiently long to allow the animal heat
to get out Of them. If this is not done,
patches of decomposition may result,
and such hides, though carefully re-
moved may be reduced in market
value at least one cent or more
pound.
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation of hides and skins
for market is of great importance, for
if they are not properly prepared and
shipped they are subject to great de-
terioration. AS a rule, hides are fold
ed with the hair side out. It is es-
sential to fold In the head and neck
on the body Of the hide, flesh surface
together, and to turn in the tail in a
similar manner Then a narrow fold
should be made on each side by throw
ing back the body edges and legs, keep
ing the lines of the folds parallel.
Stacking Up Hides.
In building up a pack OF hides the
outer edges should be kept a little /.
higher than the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dlssov-
ing Of the salt in the natural moisture
Of the hides, may be absorbed by them.
If the pack is low outside, or is built
like a shed roof, the brine
Will seep out, causing the. hides to
shrink in weight. In preparing hides
for market use salt that is free from
large Jumps or dirt Dirty salt will
stain the flesh side of the hides. One
pound of salt to each pound of the hide
is the rule.
If the hides are to be stored, they
should be placed in cool eco to G5 de-
5rees FahrenheiD cellars, from which
he outside air is excluded.

At the Illinois.
The Birth of a Race" which
was given its initial presentation
at the Illinois theatre yesterday,
was acclaimed by the audience
which viewed it as one of the
greatest films ever thrown upon a
local screen. 1t is a master pro-
duction and is entitled to a big
patronage. The theme OF the won
derful drama is a story % peace OF
democracy and of brotherhood. II
traces the history Of world ad-
vancement from the Garden of
Eden through the ages up to the
world war, and tells a gripping
story of its effect upon America
and the effect Of Americas entry
upon the world. 1t has a dramatic
effect far greater than The Birth
Of a Nation" and is more lavish
and spectacular than any picture
ever produced. 1t is a mammoth
spectacle which eloquentiy tells a
simple story Its educational bene-
fit is as great as its appeal to pat
riOtism is forceful. IL breaches q

The beautiful Olive Thomas is
returning to the screen after a
mnch too long absence. Olive, you
know, is that very pretty little ac-
tress who came from the ranks of
the ''Follies," first known as Tri-
angle star of much beauty and no
little ability, and later famous as
the wife of young Jack Pickford.
Miss Thomas, who signed up with
the SelZntck pictures not long ago,
has now completed her first picture
for them. It is that famous stage
success OF the Hattons, upstairs

Thomas in t'Madcap Madge," AN

ture and she claims that she thinks

Pittsburgh, Pa, was the scene of

She is a most vivacious and capti-
waiting little lady with gray eyes and

and attention that is showered upon
her she ts as artless and charming

At the American.

Patrons of the American theatre
will be pleased with Secret Mar
riage," a five-part Triangle feature
which comes to this theatre today
1t features Mary MacLaren, the
sweet Universal star who won the
hearts of many photoplay enthus-
lasts by her presentation in
shoes" and many other pleasing
plays. Her present feature was
directed by Thomas Ricketts,. The
story, by Richard Bennett. the well
known actor, is quite original and
its details have been presented
with realism, presenting several
well sustained dramatic moments.
The story tells of the daughter of
police lieutenant who carefully
reared in the humble home of par
ents who adored their only daugh-
ter, is a clear-eyed, clean-minded
girl. How she unwittIlgly be-
comes involved in a secret mar
riage. and it later discovered by
her father and his fellow police
men, hiding in the closet of a
mans room, under circumstances
that encourage her to attempt sui
eide, is vividly portrayed. OF
course the play ends happidly, as
all Mary MacLaren pictures
should, and as most folks enjoy a
lively tale of adventure that con-
cludes in happy fashion. this pic
ture seems bound to please. Miss

At Brotman's RialtO.

Louise Huff is coming Saturday
to Brotman's Rialto theatre in her
newest attraction, "T'other Dear
Charmer." Appearing with Miss
Huff in this offering is handsome
John Bowers.
The story is strikingly original
and entertaining. It tells of the
love affair of a young aviator in
the American army for two girls
one of them apparently a French
maid in the house where he is re-
covering from wound in his arm,
and the other the daughter Of a
wealthy man in the neighborhood.

Strangely enough the two girl
prove to be but one girl-the veal
thy miss has been masquerading az
the French maid.
The story is unwoven with many
twists and turns that add greatly
to the interest. The scenes In
which the story is played are OF
great natural beauty. Some Of
them were taken on famous Lone
Island estate.
"T'other Dear Charmer" has thai
most delightful quality which a mo
ton picture can possess - charm
Miss Huff is charming, the story i.
charming and the beautiful sur
roundings in which it is played Gr'
also charming.

AT the Black Hawk.

THE Blindness of Divorce" is
showing at the Black Hawk theatre
tonight
Government figures show that di-
vorces are multiplying about three
times as fast as the population.
They disclose that one marriage in
twelve results in divorce The fig
ures are the more striking when
considered by the side Of the fig
ures OF Canada, for instance, where
the number of divorces is relatively
small.
People are too much bent on
pleasure. Men and women enter the
marriage state without regard to
the sacred nature of the bond they
are undertaking. The divorce evil
is a result of the false, loose inter
probation of the gospel. Everyone
of the gospels is opposed to di-
vorce. If divorce is to be checked
there must be a stricter regard for
the truths of the Christian religion.
