UNAVOIDABLE.

The St. Tammany Farmer regrets
that Notwithstanding an issue of ten
pages this week, important matters
occurring late compelled the leaving
out of much news and even some ad-
vertising, as two forms We're already
printed before the situation arose,
which would have made it necessary
to print four more ,pages-beyond
our resources at that late date.

In each of these payments there Is
a charge of $3.50 for summoning
jury commissioners. This is irregu-
lar for the reason that the law does
not require the sheriff to summon
jury commissioners to attend a meet
ing. Notices to attend should be
given the commissioners by the Clerk
of Court by ordinary mail. The
question of notices to jury commits
sioners has been passed on several
times by our Supreme Court. Two

the first of these cases the court

HOW SOCIETY WOMAN
 BECOMES A TlGRESS FOR ONE SHE LOVES.

Come in and get him, damn you!'
 The girl was Eneelirg at the door of the little mountain cabin. In one hand she held a rife. The other she shook with fist clenched at the feud- ist who sought to enter and take the life of the man she loved She was dressed in the evening costume of the society folk among whom she had been born and with whom her whole life had been spent up to now. She had sought by education to restrain the mountaineers from their bloody feuds. Now the man who was a feud leader and to whom she had unwill- ingly given her heart was threatened with death by his enemies. Her life raining of gentleness and peace fell from her She was a lioness defend ing her cub. She aimed and fired rapidly and as her assailants fell one by one she called her defiance like | true mountain woman

WARWICK FINDS HIS LINGUISTIC TALENTS USEFUL.

When Robert Warwick went to Paris a good many years ago, to study music, he found it necessary and incidentally quite easy, to learn to speak French. He never guessed at that time that he would find his perfect command of the language as indispensable as it was throughout the making of his latest Selznick- Picture, "The Silent faster"
 The photoplay Wa directed by Leonce Ferret, who was brought from France by Harry Rapf to take charge of the Warwick productions, and as this was NJ. Perret's first American visit he spoke almost no English for several weeks.
 This is a big feature and will be seen at the Palace Theatre the last time tonight.

CHINESE CUSTOMS

Quaint Chinese manners and GUS toms, coupled with the beauty poetry and romance of life in the Oriental quarter of San Francisco, are shown with rare fidelity to truth in "The City of Dim Faces" the new starring vehicle for Sessue Hayakawa, the famous Japanese actor which will be shown at the Coliseum Theatre next Sunday
 In this photoplay, MT Hayakawa portrays the role of a young half cast Chinaman, the son of a wealthy silk merchant in the Chinese quar- ter He is unaware that his mother kept a prisoner in an underground den by his own father He is edu- cated in an eastern university. and at a social gathering he comes in contact with charming young wom- an, whom he loves deyotedly.

 Contrary to the statement made at the time the project was made known that the huge wireless plants to be built in Seattle and Fairbanks, would supplant the cable. Mir. Crocker ex- pressed the belief that the Alaska cable would never be done away with. Explaining his belief, he cited the necessity of having line of communi- cation by which messages would be sent with secrecy which it would be impossible to obtain by wireless.

HAS TWO ROLES IN JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Considerable interest in the forth coming presentation at the Coliseum Thursday, Friday and Saturday mat inee of Uncle Toms Cabin" is being manifested here because Marguerit Clark, the dainty Paramount star will portray two roles, those of little Eva and Topsy, two vastly different characterizations, but in each ol which she is seen at her best.
 The amusing antics of Topsy pro vides scenes wherein Miss Clarl utilizes the comedy talents which she displayed on the speaking stage and as Eva she draws upon her dra matic ability. The makeup and rags of "Topsy'' completely disguises Miss Clark in this part, which will be fonud to be in strong contrast to the opposite role, and the illusion; is strengthened further by number of scenes in which the two characters appear simultaneously. This is ac c0mplished by the use of double ex posture photography
 The supporting cast includes play CTS who have been prominent ir Paramount and Aircraft pictures. J w. Johnson, who played important parts in Out of the Drifts,' "Des tiny's Toy" Molly Make Believe, "The Land of Promise,' etc. has the role of Haley, the employer of Simon Legree Florence Carpenter is Eliza the Mulatto who made the sensa tional escape across the river on the

Laurette Taylor's Stage Career
Based on Indomitable Ambition

, ment, took the child home and put
her back in school. She was then IL
years OF age.
But this rebuff did not repress or
extinguish the fires OF ambition OF
the youthful aspirant- One day she
boldly approached the manager of a
stock company in Seattle and ap-
piled for the position of ingenue.
Impressed by her appearance, not
withstanding her lack of experience,
the manager engaged her. Salaries
were largely a fiction; there was .
performance every day, including
Sunday and three matinees a week.
While playing one part the company
was rehearsing another and the
question OF wardrobe was harrow
ing one, as, in addition to the play
ing and rehearsing, it was necessary
for her to make her own hats and
gowns. One day the leading woman
left suddenly and Miss Taylor was
installed in her place.
The plays were mostly melodramas
of the most lurid type. Studying new
parts and appearing and rehearslng at
the theater consumed about eighteen
hours OF her day. but she was school,
ing herself for her future. Miss Tay-
lar says she hates Seattle to this day
and will never play there again. But
even when she left Seattle she did
not find the way strewn with roses.
