 HOMEMADE FEEDER
Claim Device Is One That Every Hog

Arkansas farmers who are using the self feeder claim that II Is de. vice that every bog raiser should have. since It saves iced and labor and en- ables the hog to best balance his own ration tHd make the most rapid gains on a gwen amount of feed
 This Ia just what the specialists with the Agricultural Division of the University of Arkansas have been say ing al the farm meetings throughoul the state for some time past. They hay. urged the use of he self feeder. because this device is so constructed that the hog may choose his feed both as to kind and amount The self feed or liberates he feed only as last .ls the hog can consume 1t and conse quently eliminates waste and ;he method is nearest 70 nature. because ii allows the hog 10 select his own feed as he does in the wild state
 However the self feeder works well only. of course. when the right kind of feed k put into the feeder 50 that the hog can choose what he wants He k sure to want what he needs

 Advantages Of the Self Feeder
 The self feeder has several advan- E Ses which may be enumerated as follows:

 , The self feeder saves grain Il lessens fhe amount of feed fo produce T gain of one hundred pounds and Low that grain has advanced in price this k another item of great import anee
 D The self feeder shortens the tune for preparing the hog for mar ket because the self fed hog fattens faster.

AT THE pASTINIE.

One of the strangest bargains ever
conceived by a playwright is made in
Pauline Frederick's new Goldwyn pic
ture. lone Week of Life which
comes to the Pastime today and to-
morrow.
1t is a bargain Pauline Frederick
makes with herself-not within her.
self, but in her dual capacity as Mrs.
Kingsley Sherwood and Marion
Roche The agreement IS a decep-
ton. One woman is selfish and de-
sirious of gaining her own ends; the
other is generous and willing to take
a great risk for the others happiness.
The pact involves no thought or gain
on the part of Marion and nothing but
gain for the other party TO the agree
ment. 1t is curious, hazardous and
without doubt something entirely new
to the screen.
Imagine a woman of high position,
enjoying every luxury but love! She
has allowed her husband to find con-
ISOLATION in drink while she torments
herself with a Filtration with anothet
man which cannot be carried further
because of the conventions imposed
bv her position. This woman would
give her soul for a week of life with
the man she imagines she loves. It
is at that point that possible escape
chances to come.
There will also be seen a Charlie
Chaplin comedy and Ford Weekly
picture.

AT THE lyric.

Successor to "Shore Acres" and
"Way Down East in the classical
character of its theme and story, the
Buffalo Motion Picture Corporations
production of THE Price of limo
cence," with Stella Talbot, will be pre-
scented at the Lyric theater today and
tomorrow
Like the two famous plays of the
dramatic stage, this screen story d
based on the lives of "just home
folks" It's locale is Goose Island
"squatter" settlement off the coast
of Maine. Here, as in Shore Acres
and Way Down East" in the midst
of a quiet and peaceful community
of quaint characters, stalks drama
and tragedy, tempered with the
humor that springs from the reflex of
their cynicism and narrowness.
Stella Talbot, in the role Of Mary
Aldron, gives herself in an unselfish
attempt to save her "squatter' kin
from homelessness and privation.
When she returns again to the island,
after ten days as the guest" of Ed
ward Greyson its owner, she finds
its population united in its horror
over her action. Unwilling to yield to
her sincerity and the realization that
her sacrifice had been made for them,
they drive her back to the mainland.
There, in a resumption of her ac-
quaintance with Greyson. she dis
covers that the island to which he
claims title. had been legally decided
to the "squatters" by his father, just
before the elder Greyson had been
killed imam accident.
Despite the unmerited disgrace and
Islander her kinsmen had heaped upon
her, she returns again to Goose Is
land" to tender them the document
which would end forever the feud be-
tween the ''squatters' and Greyson.
In the tumble-down cabin of Sam
Durlin, leader of the bigotry against
her, occurs one of the senatorial
moments of the production. lnfuri-
ated by her return, unwilling to heed
explanations, the islanders attempt to
brand her with a red hot crucifiX.
