Men Present. Commend Cox and

SEATTLE-Wfth promptness and
enthusiasm the newly organized
Northwestern Reclamation league
adopted a program of educational and
political action by which it hopes in
the course of the next few years to
put into operation not only the great
Columbia basin project, but other
comprehensive irrigation enterprises
as we'll. Included in the program are
a federal revolving fund of not less
than $3.50, 900, increased appropria-
lions for federal survey of the stream
flow Of western rivers and immediate
availability of reclaimed lands for ex-
service men and women.
James A. Johnson of Shelby. Mont,
was named president.
The leagues platform as summed
up from the resolutions unanimously
adopted is:
Expansion of irrigation activity to
be carried on through the federal rec
lamation service;
Commend Presidential Nominees.

Disease Raids Sheep.
BOISE.-Stock men of Idaho are
somewhat worried over the appear
tooth national forest. Lambs shipped
to Omaha from the flock kept in this
reserve were found to have scabs. Up
on investigation it was found that the
Sawtooth reserve and adjacent terri
tory is SO thoroughly exposed that
the authorities had the sheep dipped.
Many of these sheep are efed on
ranches in the Twin Falls irrigated
section and the general dipping of all
sheep on these projects is being done
to eradicate the disease before the ar
rival of the range sheep for winter
feeding.
Record Crops in State.
Although practically all of Idaho's
staple crops registered losses from
their August prospects, still they
have a comfortable lead over their
1919 performance and present indi-
cations are that the total volume of
crop production will be the largest
in the history of the state, says the
September crop report for Idaho as
issued by Julius H. Jacobson of the
Idaho crop reporting service at Boise.
Hay, wheat, oats. corn, potatoes,
beets and prunes are on hand with
unusually large crops. The barley,
apple, pea, bean and other crops are
not record-breakers, still they are
very substantial and considerably
| better than 1919.

CHAPTER VI.
p

Fitzhugh began to fret and f,lme at
his irksOme employment. He was
coming to believe he had made a mis-
take In adopting such slow means to
an eagerly desired end, when, in tie
fifth week. something occurred that
dispelled his growing pessimism. It
was a warm Saturday night. and
when he came from the broilins
kitchen with his coat under his arm,
dripping with perspiration. his EN-
pl0yer met him and handed him eight
dollars, five Of which he promptly
placed between the leaves of his saw
ings handbook, which now showed a
balance of twenty dollars.
AS he nodded goodnight to his EN-
ployer he noticed hatchet-faced man
In checker-board suit on one Of the
iunch-cOunter stools. Before Fitzhugh
reached Van Buren, street this man
confronted him and, smiling as cor
daily as his hard face would permit
asked.

The questioner pushed back his hat
and chewed his cigar. And his head

He tapped his chest proudly. you've

They went in. and Mr. Max outlined
his plan. Briefly. 1t was this, Fitz-
hugh, after visit to a barber was to
apparel himself In distinguished garb
and with an aristOcratic demeanor
was to promenade State street for five
hours daily. Painted in white letters
on the back of his frock-coat would
be the name "MAX'S."

drawing refiectively on his cigar. How

WASHINGTON

1t is probable that. those who talk
learnedly OF art" Oh the screen, are
not always exactly sure Of their mean
ing. But no one. evan the least con-
scious of what constitutes art, could
fail TO recognize som thing far be-
yond The ordinary in motion pictures
in Don't Change Your Husband"
which was presented at the Washing
ton Theatre, with mach success Sun
day.
The story is a new version of the
familiar triangle-a hovely and roman
tic young wife, husband immersed in
business and neglectful of his wife and
a debonnaire, sleek and highly clever
young architect. The wife leaves her
husband under the spell of the new
comer's romantic promises and lives
to repent and go back again to the
man who was foolish enough to put
business before everything else,, but
who, meantime, has reformed and be-
come as immaculate. as his ex-rival.
This is the bare outline-the de-
lightful qualities are, in the touches of
beauty, oriental mysticism, charm of
character and in every phase of the
production.
Mr. DeMille has given of his best
small but wonderfully selected cast,
including Gloria Swanson, beautiful
and charming, for Leila, the wife, FL
lott Dexter, the we'll known leading
man, as the husand.- James Porter and
Lewis ]. Cody, an excellent actor, as
Van Sutphen, the other man.
Then there are such well known
players as Theodore Roberts, Sylvia
Ashton, James Neill and Julia Faye.
The settings are superb, dignifed, ar
tistic. The costuming is wonderfully
effective. Miss Swanson is a vision of
beauty in her Orien1allike gowns. It
is a picture to talk about, it conveys
subtly a real lesson for husbands and
wives, and it is the most entertaining
film we have witnessed in many
months.

William Fox never is happier than
when making cinema productions Of
huge proportions. He demonstrated
this once more last night at the first

In the great spectacular drama the

settings. The ancient world lives
