MARY P|CKFORD IN
 POLLYANNA COMING
Popular Star in Newest Production at the Tria-
 non Next Week

It is anticipated that the presentation of Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna" at the Trianon next week will prove one of the most popular screen attractions of the vera. sPollyanna" is Mary Pickford's S first picture for the United Artists, and newspapers everywhere declare it is a production which none can compare. "Pollyanna is row playing a ten weeks engagement in Boston at s1 ad mission prices and the theatre is unable to accommcdate the crowds. "Pollyanna' is one of the most popular stories today and Mary Piekford one of the most pop ular screen actresSes-a combination that means great entertainment.
 "Pollyanna" comes to the screen for the first time, and Miss Pickford is said to have paid a fortune for the rights to this story. Almost everyone has either read "Pollyanna" or seen it on the stage, and with Mary Pickford starring it is said to be even more donderful
 Critics everywhere assert that Folly anna" is one of the greatest picture plays ever filmed. The reason for this is that the philosophy upon which the story is based constituted a theme which at the present time has unusually wide appeal
 Undoubtedly Mary Pickford. with char acteristic far-sightedness, had this in mind when she chose this celebrated work as her first vehicle for the United Artists Corporation.
 There is a great craving at the pres ent time on the part of the public, ac- eording to best informed showmen, for arnething more than mere entertain nent Of course, diversion is always ne paramount thing whenever amuse- nent is considered, but at the same time people want something big and compell- ing-something that will drive home a few truths without preaching sermon or spelling the flavor of show which is meant to entertain.

WHISKY REBELLION

History repeats itself. A NE"
whisky Instruction has broken out
in Michigan, where county officers
defy the federal authorities and
where force was used to recover
LIQUORS seized by the federal officers
in pursuance Of their duty.
The first whisky rebellion" tool
place in 1894. The Monongahela val
/ ley in Pennsylvania was the scene Oh
instruction. Congress had laid
revenue on distilled spirits winch
aroused great opposition in that sec
ton. Officers were fired on and the
opposition took the form Of armed
and organized rebellion. A force OF
nearly 1900 men was raised and
threats made TO march on Pittsourg,
| capture the city and the United
States arsenal and overthrow govern
ment. The argument was that the
tax was unjust as bearing mainly
upon this whisky producing section
and not on other sections and prod
ucts. Finally President Washington
raised a large militia force from sew
eral states and proceeded to take
. stern measures. No blood was shed
/ The insurrection!sts. when they real
lied that force was to De opposed,
fastened to settle with the govern
ment.
The settlement was the first deci-
sive test Of the new constitution and
established in the minds OF the peo-
pie the strength and efficiency OF the
fundamental law governing all tbs
states.

FARMERS AND LABOR UNIONS.

So far the farmer has been rather
coy in meeting the flirtations and
wooings OF the labor unions in their
campaign TO get him committed TO
joint action, notes the Bache Review.
The labor unions, 1t says, are con-
stantly working for shorter hours
and less efficiency, while the
farmers creed, by force Of
the unalterable laws Of Nat
ore with whom he is increasingly con-
tending makes him the advocate Of
the longest hours and the most siren
uous efficiency. NJ. B. X. Hibbard,
economist in the Wisconsin College
OF Agriculture argues how unreason-
able It would be for the farmer 10
adopt the eight-hour day:
In the first place, it would be i'm
possible TO set a time for beginning
or quitting work on the farm. All
sorts OF things, like the weather con-
ditions and the time Of the year, in
fluence the farmer in his work. Eight
hours a day at certain seasons OF
the year would not get the farm work
done.
Farmers will work from daylight
TO dark during the haying season or
at threshing time m order TO get
their crops in while the weather IS
sood. II Ave o'clock were quitting
time they would run the risk Of haY-
Ing part of the crop ruined. Then, too,
the farmer is working for himself
and by voting shorter hours Tor
farmers in general he snortens MS
own hours. lessons the amount OF
work he can DO and decreases his in
come that much without beneAting
any one.
1t is not probable that unions VIII
be formed among farmers or farm

farm hands are neighborh"od boys
