ALICE BRADY AT GRAND
LAST TIME TONIGHT

THE Fear Market" which is now
being shown at the Grand theatre
starring Alice Brady in the principal
role, is without doubt one OF the
few photodramas seen on the silver
screen which has strong appeal, full
of tense dramatic moments, and so
ably told as to keep one rooted to the
seat from start to finish. 1t is truly
drama of the highest type.
Whether ones tastes run to stories
of love and romance or gets most
pleasure from photoplays because of
thrills provided by stirring action, or
would rather cry than smile, or revels
in the presentation of problems of
the day for these angles Of appeal,
The Fear Market" Realart A'ic-
ture. stands first in film dramas.
Miss Brady as Sylvia Stone and
her supporting cast Of eminent screen
artists leave nothing TO be asker for,
bringing forth into play human emo
tion in a manner dramatic and most
realistic.
Film fans and lovers of the drama
must be sure to see THE Fear Mar!
ket" at the Grand for the last time
tonight and surprise themselves with
real treat.

LINCOLN DAY" FEATURE,

To-day is the anniversary of
the birth of the immortal Abraham
Lincoln, and at the Rex theatre the
feature of the day will be 1.-The Land
OF Opportunity" starring Ralph Ince
in the role of Lincoln, teaching a
patriotic lesson.
Taking Lincoln when he was a rail
splitter and good woman who gave
him advice that afterward made him
the great man he was, Mr.. Ince car
ries his audience to another period
in the life of the Great Emancipator
when he repaid the good dealt to him
by stopping in the midst of his warm
political campaign against Stephen
A. Douglas to save the life of the
woman's son, who is accused of
murder.
No better portrayal of a Lincoln
character has ever been seen than
that presented by Mr.. Ince. Not only
us, the makeup faithful, but his
movements and expression are in
keeping with the Lincoln of the time
he represents.

PROVED BY HAMMER STROKE
Human Character Frequently Wetoeo
Under Blows, Much as Workrnen
Weld the iron.

There are metals which improve IN
quality all the time you stamp and
hammer them. Just the same IS true
Of a man, if he have the true neat IN
him, and makes himself master OF the
circumstances, instead Of slave. Pre-
cisely as you may have seen dinerent
strands of iron wire brought together
in a "bloom," heated red, and struck
and struck under a trip hammer till
they are made one, so all the different
experiences Of human life are fused
and welded in the process Of the forma-
ton Of character. A mans habits his
methods of reasoning, his Imagination
and memory, his faith, his hope, his
love-are blended together In his char
acter. And the hammering becomes no
unimportant part Of the process. Ger
tain traits there are which show them
selves all through the pounding. Thus,
all the hammering Of an eternity would
not make iron into gold. But very
little hammering will make pig-iron
into wrought iron, If you give it heat
enough; and so hammered. it will bear
very different strain.-E. r. Hale

ADIVERTING MIXTURE.

It was diverting mixture Of melo-
drama and light comedy with which
Ethel Clayton entertained at the
Elko theatre last evening where her
new picture, More Deadly Than the
Male appeared and is again to be
seen tonight. The title is of course
from Rudyard Kipling's famous COM
mentary upon 1.-THE female of the
species" and the impulse after seeing
the film is to agree with the. ,distln-
guished poet, especially when such a
lovely person as Miss Clayton is
seeking to prove it.
More Deadly Than The Male" pre-
sents Miss Clayton as a high spirited
girl who frames thrilling series OF
adventures in order to prove to the
man she loves that it is not necessary
to go to exotic lands in order to Sc.
cure excitement. 1t is a Paramount
Aircraft picture.

The Scottish Girl Of Lucknow.

History cannot dig up her name.
But history holds up, as were it the
planet of morning, her shining cry in
the relief of Lucknow. In the Sepoy
mutiny of India hundreds of wounded
and dying Englishmen and Scotchmen
and their families were shut up in the
residency of Lucknow. Mana Sahib
was marching on to put them to the
sword, reserving a worse fate for the
women. Nearer and nearer that In
dian tiger bounded. The jungle roar
Of his forces could be apprehended
on the breeze. Sobs of women filled
the residency. Men had drawn their
swords to STAY their wives with their
own hand. A Scottish girl who was
in the garden with her ear bent to the
ground suddenly sprang up into the
air; she rushed; she jammed open the
door into the mansion with the cry,
"Dtnna We hear it? The pipes EoF Have
lock sound?" 1t was. And now the
Campbells' call and the pibroch OF
Scotland droning. Nearer came the
shrill skirling. And men fell on their
faces. And the roar of Havelock
broke in, outmarching the Mana Sahib
Havelock and his pipes saved LUCK
now.-Chicag0 Journal.

Sunday for three day run at the
Grand theatre, will no doubt be ex-
tremely popular with all who IKE
mystery melodrama. AS its name
implies it is a mystery, the plot be-
ing woven intricately around the
strange attacks on girl in the "Yel-
low Room of a French chateau from
which there is, apparently, no other
means of escape than a door which
is always locked from the inside a;
the time of the attacks. The picture
holds the interest of the spectator
and defles efforts to anticipate the
solution until the very end. The
photography is we'll zone by Emile
Chautard, under whose direction the
picture was produced. The acting
is excellent especially that Of Lorin
Raker, who is cast as the "peppy"
little newspaper man who solves the
mystery.

DIED At HANDS OF TRAITOR
Savior Of Paris, It Is Said, was Killed
by Officer in Pay OF
the Huns.

A hitherto unpublished story OF
the great war has been brought to
this city by prominent clubman,
recently returned. General Galllenl
Of the French army, the man who
rushed troops from Paris in taxlcabs
to stem the flood at the first battle
of the Marine, was reported to have
died during the war.
What is said to be the true story
of his death is told by the clubman.
The general went up to a certain
sector and, in looking over the plans
of defense, found that they were so
arranged that the Germans could
easily break through. In fact, if they
had been planned by German otfi-
Ger they could not have been more
favorable for the Huns.
Suspecting treachery, he sum-
moned the officer who had made the
plans to his presence and accused
him of being a traitor, laid his pis-
tol on the table and told him that
the only thing left for him to do was
to shoot himself. Then, as he turned
his back and walked out of the room,
the accused officer picked up the pis-
tol and shot him in the back. The
general died few days afterward.-

Tricks Of Fishermen,

Sardines are very shy fish, and the
nets used to catch them are Of q very
hne thread and mesh.
Now fy-fshermen often dull their
gutcasts by soaking them in coffee,
and so making them less visible. Act
ing on similar lines, the sardine fisher.
men have taken to dyeing their nets
blue, and thus causing them to be less
conspicuous.
Line fishermen, again, are learning
all about tides and currents, for the
discovery has been made that a line
set between the currents will catch
many more fish than one set In q d.

FARMERS SHOULD PLANT

Clemson College, Sept. 23.-I. IS
of more than ordinary importaoEce
that farmers should plant a good
crop CT oats this fall, says Prof. c.
P. Blackwell, agronomist In the
first place. feed is likely to be scarce
and high in price next year A good
crop of early oats may prevent the
necessity CT buying high-p-iced feed
for the work stock through The ploW-
ing season. In the second place,
cats make a good winter cover crop,
and are worth much in preventing
the washing of the land and IN con-
serving the fertility during the Win
ter months. Then too, the oat crop
may be followed by a crop Of pea
nuts, cowpeas, or soy beans. The
two crops when taken together make
profitable combination.
Oats may be most conveniently
seeded in cotton middles by the use
of three-tube onc-horse drill. They
may also be successfully seeded
broadcast and riowed in with a cl,l-
tivator, if the cotton is net 100 large.
They should be seeded some time be-
tween the goth If Septembe: and the
middle of October foc best result:
though they may be seeded n No
vember with fair success. 1t seeded
broadcast, two 20 tiro and one-half
bushels should DE used; ii drilled,
one and half to two bushels w;!l he
enough.
Oats may be fer5i.izc4 to good Cd
vantage with two to fcnr hundred
pounds of fertilizer at the time of
planting. The formula to be used
will depend on the soil. A top d:'css-
ing of fifty to one hundred pounds Of
soda should be applied IN February

DOESN'T WANT TO
TRY HUNS HERE
United States Officials Not Keen On
Having Germans Tried at All
Convictions improbable.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Administra-
tion officials are not impressed with the
suggestion of General Won Lulendorff that
ex-German officials and army officers,
whose surrender for trial before allied
tribunals is demanded by the supreme
council under the Versailles treaty, be
tried in an impartial court, set up on
free American soil
1t is known that American officials
have not been at all enthusiastic over the
proposal to try ex-German officials and
army officers. International law ex-
perts connected with the government
hold that the carrying out of the terms
of the Versailles treaty in this regard
may be productive of more evil than
good.
If the Germans whose surrender is de-
manded by the allies, are tried at all,
the United States government would like
to see them receive an impartial hearing.
Just how this is to be accomplished under
the procedure proposed in Paris is some
what difficult to understand.
1t is felt by legal experts that if the
ordinary rules of Jurisprudence and evil
dence should be applied in the trials CON
victions would be impossible, since the
accused persons acted under orders of the
old German government the latter,
rather than its agents, being ultimately
held responsible for the crimes charged.
That some German officials and army
officers should be tried before criminal
courts, officials concede, as they were
guilty of crimes wholly unjustifed by
war or any other conditions. That the
trial of even these individuals before
enemy tribunals may have bad political
effect is frankly admitted.
In any event, however, officials have
no intention of suggesting that the trial
of Germans named by the allies take
place on American territory. If they are
to be placed on trial before impartial
tribunals, it was pointed out, several
European countries are within easy reach
of all the interested powers.
