At BrOtman's RiaItO.

You never saw a more charming
little crook than Miss Louise Huff
makes in Crook of Dreams" which
will be shown today at the Rialto
theatre.
Miss Huff appears in the role of
Constance, an east side product,
and there is apparently no doubt
but what Constance is a crook. but
what a pretty. charming little crook
she is! Charles Hadwin, a young
attorney, played by Frank Mayo,
meets Constance under unusual cir
cumstances and falls in love with
her But he is surprised and shock
ed b ythe revelations which come
of COnstance's entry into a woman S
home under false pretenses and her
acceptance of the many things this
woman showers upon her in the be-
lief that Constance is her long lost
daughter.
The manner in which the tangled
web is unraveled is at once inter
csting, entertaining and surprising.
On Sunday at the Brotman's
Rialto, THE Better OLE" or the
romance of Old Bill, will be shown.
1t is a comedy of the times showing
the humor and the sentiment of the
everyday men of the trenches
those men who made no heroics of
their heroism, who met danger and
the drudgery of their existence with
smile and laugh, and who typify
that old army of invincibles who
saved the world.
There are laughs and laughs and
still more laughs in 1.-THE Better
OLE"
And between the laughs there are
smiles and smokers and grins and
giggles.
There is humor a-plenty in this
great play. And there is all the
draft and the drag and the pulling
power of one of the greatest money
makers in the history of the stage

At the Majestic.

Earle Williams, Dorothy Dalton
and Fatty Arbuckle are the leading
cards at the Majestic theatre for
next week Mr. Williams will be
seen Sunday and Monday in his
newest and most sensational guc-
cess, "A Rogue's Romance" play
in which he has scored the greatest
success he has made on the screen
since three years ago when he as
tonished photoplaydom with "The
Christian" Mr.. Williams since then
has had nothing 80 worthy of his
great talent for dramatic work as
"a Rogue's Romance" in which he
has the character Of clever
Partisan detective who sets about to
run down a collection of the
smoothest crooks in the world. In
cidentally he discovers himself in
the meshes of a real romance and
here is where the story begins to
score it's most telling points. The
action is very brisk throughout and
the settings are magnificent. The
support accorded Mr.. Williams is
splendid.
Mr.. Williams has been figuring in
the news the past few days by be-
Jig sued for S50,0 in a sort of
of promise affair The cele-
brated actor denies the sensational
charges made by the woman in the
case and his attorneys declare that
the suit will in no wise affect his
contracts for making pictures for
the Vitagraph company.
The other two big cards for the
week are Dorothy Dalton and Fatty
Arbuckle. The former comes on
Tuesday and Wednesday in "Other
Mems Wives" and the latter comes
for a return engagement by request
on Thursday as part Of a double
program, the other half Of which
will be taken by Mary Miles Minter
in her clever comedy success, "A
Bachelors Wife"
Fatty comes in "a Desert Hero"
supported by his clever nephew Al
ST. John. The scenes are laid in
western mining town and the tough

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
Cd OF increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
. Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed.
4 field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no repfant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly, TO a
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.

No, not a munition factory. Those

What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county. 10,951 bushels of
corn were 'ear tested" before corn
planting time came last spring. OF this
/ corn more than 1900 bushels were
I thrown out as being unfit for planting

it would have rotted in the ground

sary. More than 6,000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give salts
