very Home Should Have Run

'iHS NGSNi
Running water in the farm home

necessity and possibility. It is
true that some homes can have more
elaborate systems than others, but
every farm can and should have run
ming water at least in the kitchen.
This is not only idealistic but bust.
ness proposition that faces every
farmer. says Professor Frazier Rog-
ers of the florida Agricultural Col.
lege.
Every farm has some source of
water to draw upon and the man of
the house should in justice to his
family devise some means whereby
this water will not have to be carried
TO the house in buckets. Such would
eliminate much of the drugdery. es.
pecially to the women, who need ey-
cry consideration.
To have running water does not
necessitate the outlay of much money.
One can begin with a common pitcher
pump and sink placed conveniently
in the kitchen. This is far better
than carrying water in a bucket.
Later an improvement over this can
be made. The hand force pump with
a barrel tank might come second.
Finally would come a gasoline driven
pump and an elevated tank, which is
much better than either of the former.
The time saved in going to aad
from the well with buckets to carry
water and the satisfaction derived
win soon pay for the best system.

Dorothy Gish's New Picture
 Answers Standing Question
By ANNE GORDON

over night. I do wish all Of these girlA could see Dorothy Gish in Mary Ellen Comes To Town" playing today and to- morrow at the Colonial theatre.
 Mary Ellen had been stage struck ever since she delivered a speech before the Ladies Aid Society in her home town. She never misses a New York train, and though they never stop at the little tank town, she meets them just the saffie. But one day a train stopped because of hot box. and Mary Ellen, thoroughly fa- miliar with the theatrical pages of the newspapers. sees a well-known actress step from the train to walk about while the train is stalled. She prevails upon her to listen to her speak, and asks her to help her get on the stage. The actress, more to get away from the persistent Mary Ellen than in earnest, gives tSe girl Q card to a theatrical agent, and Mary Ellen convinces her mother that career is waiting for her in the big city
 The same train that takes Mary Ellen away. carries also another person from her home town, the one boy she has never met. Hesis going to New York to sign papers closing the winding up of an estate leaving him the heir.
 Mary Ellen gets job in cabaret, the manager of which IS a famous crim- inal, and he beguiles the boy to his place to get his fortune. Mary Ellen and the boy meet, not dreaming that they hailed from the same town, and love at sight is the consequence. How the man ager of the cafe uses Mary Ellen as tool. with the boys money as an opyvrt, makes most thrilling comedy drama, with Dorothy Gish at her winsoNAe best. and Ralph Graves as the home town boy is almost as attractive as Douglas MacLean, which is certainly going some It is a clever little play, and a won derful moral lesson to stage-struck girls, as l said before.

DANCING CLASSIC
 FEATURE AT LOEW'S

With the classiest dancing number ever seen on the local boards as the topliner, four other high class vaude- vile acts and a dandy picture feature, the programme at Loew's Bijou for the weekend is one of the best in seV- eral months.
 Monsieur Adolphus, the eminent pre- mier dancer of the opera Comique Paris. assisted by Ethel Gilmore, the famous English danseuse, offering The Poetry of Notion" is the head line attraction. This is one of the most beautiful dancing acts in vaude- vile, ranging from the complete category of the classic dances to the new dances. It has all the charm youth, grace and beauty can give.
 A funny racetrack skit is the offer ing of Frank Walmsiey and Mae keat- ing. Walmsley is an eccentric type, funny to a degree, and Miss Heating is a charming comedienne and has a sweet, sympathetic soprano that she uses to good advantage in some clev- erly written stories.
 Henry J. Kelly. just bubbling over with Irish wit of the spontaneous kind, sings a few original songs and tells some clever stories.
 A real little man of the bill Is Jimmy Rosen, the diminutive comedian, in a comedy playlet called Call Me Papa" It is satire pure and simple, because his partner Is tall, good looking woman and he Is Just apout three feet tall Their humor is clean and the act holds the kind of material every audience is looking for. The get made big hit.
 The Bimboes, French pantomimists offering all sorts af acrobatics and originalities, complete the programme.
 Emmy Whelen, the beautiful golden haired star, in Lifting Shadows" is the photoplay feature.
 T,ifting Shadows" is drama of to- day. It depicts the struggle of wo- man who is torn between her love for man and her love for the country of her doption-America.
