tended the fashion show last night had
the same attitude about it that they
do about circuses. You know the
only reason a grown man ever attends
a circus is to take the children. So
last night they had to bring their
wives. But just the same they were
thoroly interested aud were standing
on tiptoes and craning their necks to
see over the crowd to the models who
promenaded so gracefully back and
forth dressed in the latest style gowns.

The second floor at Pelletier's last
night was quite as interesting as the
third where the beautiful gowns were
and to many people it was
more so. For here the children were
putting on a little fashion show and
dancing recital of their own.
"A Paris Reception" was the name
Of one feature of the entertainment.
Three small young ladies, Aileen
Smith, Marie Louise Shonberger and
Jean Buck. were at home, so they
played, and they received callers
Kathleen Mallon and Betty Haggert-
who came all dressed up in the latest
fall hats and coats. They greeted one
another in a charming manner. and
then sat down to have tea together
and gossip about the H. c. of L. pre-
sumably. Their farewell was just as
polite and charming.
Among those who danced were
Adele Foster and Millicent Smith.

MORE FARMERS TO FARLEY
Think Farm Organizations Efforts
Are Meeting With Success.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Efforts by
the National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions to obtain for agriculture a larger
share OF representation at the forth
coming White House conference on
Industrial conditions will probably
meet with success. AT all events men
in close touch with the president and
also with conditions calling for such
a conference have indicated a desire
that more farmers take part in the de-
alterations.
Among these is B. NJ. Baruch, who.
1t has been said, is likely to be chair
man of the conference

to the acting, and to this necessary part Of
n photoplay Mr.. Warwick contributes a
goodiy share of distinctly third rate eff
fort. He had a role he should have made
stand out in heroic proportions. Instead
of doing this he is up to all the tricks he
pulled in Secret Service''-he stalks about,
poses. and in the cloSe-ups conveys the i'm
preston that he has just stepped from the
dentists chair. Ann Little does not sug

face and destroys Dy this bit of makeup
the impression of charming and lOvable
girlhood. Even Eileen Percy fails to regis
ter up to her usual standard. Most of
Warwick's support Iii fact, convey the no.
ton that they are copying his methods.
The net truth of the matter is that unless
Warwick braces up and takes an interest
in pictures he'll be thru almost soon
as he started. There are some good fight

He can unite knots with his teeth and

CHANGES MADE
IN FOOD LAWS
OF NEBRASKA
Amendments to Statutes That
Have to Do With Oils and
Weights and Measures
Departments.
BY a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., April 22.-Half a
dozen laws passed by the legislature
to amend the laws of the food, oil
and weights department, as follows I:
House Roll No. 473 regulates the
sale of and branding of commercial
fertilizers. An annual fee of $40
to be paid before May l of each
year is charged on each kind of
fertilizer on which the selling price
is over So ton. Each package
must be labeled with the name of
the brand, net pounds in package
and chemical analysis on the label
showing available nitrogen and
phosphoric acid and soluble
potash, with list of the ingredients
and the name of the manufacture
and his address. Penalty is pro-
vided for failure to comply with the
law.
Senate File 1874 is now a law. as
it carried the emergency clause.
One amendment to the old law fixes
certain minimum standards for
motor gasoline. A second amend
ment provides for the examination
by the food commission from time
to time Of lubricating oils and pro-
vides that they shall conform to
any standards which may be adopted
by the national committee. A third
amendment reduces the minimum

is to be read in the test has been
placed at 135 to l40 degrees Faren-
heit, instead of 100 to lao.
Prohibits Sale of Water.
Standard butter fat content of
milk and cream are the same as
heretofore, 3 and Is per cent, re-
spectively.
This law prohibits the sale of
milk to which water or any foreign
substance has been added, or the
sale of milk which has been exposed
to unsanitary conditions or to con-
tamination by disease. 1t also pro-
vides that "Homogenized" cream
shall bear a label with the word.
"Homogenized" or "Emulsified" as
the case may be. 1t also provides
that milk sold from any animal
which has not been examined within
year by a veterinarian and pro-
nounced free from disease shall be
pasteurized.
Under this act all milk dealers
or places where milk or cream is
handled for sale to consumers must
obtain an annual license from the
food commissioner, fee for which
is 81. This license is not required
from those who sell only to manu-
featuring establishments or from
dairymen who sell the product
of five cows or less.
Another provision of the act re.
quires all persons handling milk
cream or ice cream, to Immediately
clean the receptacles upon emptyine
and provides a penalty for the hav-
ing in possession dirty contain
ers of dairy products, or for their
use for anything other than dairy
products. 1t provides fees for man
ufacturers of dairy products which
are the same as before except fee
of $40 per year from each milk
condensing plant.
