Tells Wild Duck Fanciers
How To Raise Young birds

| Uncle Sam is the best friend
! that wild ducks have, and it fol-
lows that he has a warm spot in
his heart for the d-fowler, too.
In the interest of both, he has pre-
pared a leaflet on tn propaga-
ition of wild ducks which may be
had from the Bureau of Biological
Survey, u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, by any one who asks for
lit.
Mallards are the easiest to han
Idle, with wood duck coming next.
Black ducks need more space than
Ieither of these because they are
more sensitive-a bit wilder"
Widgeon and teal need winter
shelter, if grown in the North, to
la greater, extent than their cous-
Fins, but the provisions for shelter
need not be elaborate. For most
ducks and most climates simple,
three-sided shack is sufficient,
Though extreme cold weather
should find the ducks housed in a
tight building with plenty of litter
on the floor.
Fresh infusion of wild blood
must be introduced from time to
thine if the birds are to keep their
wild conformation.
Wild duck eggs are usually
Matched under hens, though they
may be Matched in an incubator.
Breeding stock of whatever spe-
jcies should be obtained IN the fall
SO as to settle in its quarters be-
fore the breeding season. which
comes rather early in the spring.
The leaflet describes the care and
feeding Of the young birds at ev-
lery stage in their development
from the yellow fuzz of the duck
ling to the cleaning iridescent
Feathers of the mature bird. 1t is
IA leaflet that should interest
lsportsmen as we'll as the game
farmer.

THE LEAGUE or. NATIONS
"

Article 9 of the Covenant of the
League of Nations, published here
with, creates the first organization
of free nations, since history began
which represents the whole of the
world and by agreement may deal
with anything affecting the safety
and progress of mankind. 1t is an
important part of the plan
which the Democratic platform and
candidates offer the people. The Re-
publican Senate assassinated it for
partisan reasons; the Republican
platform straddled it; the Republican
candidate opposes it. Inviting any in
terpretations which may serve to elar-
fly and define our national limitations
submitting two already, Gov. Cox
stands firmly for it:
The Assembly shall consist of
representatives of the members of
the league. The Assembly shall
meet at stated intervals and
from time to time as occasion
require at the seat of the league
or at such other place as may be
decided upon. The Assembly
may deal at it's meetings with
5 Z any matter within the sphere of
+ action of the league or affecting
the peace of the world. At meet
ings of The Assembly each mem
Der of the league shall have one
vote and may not have more than
three representatives.
Why should anyone oppose the
United States participating in a plan
to maintain the peace of the world?

"A BUNCH OF STARS
"AlL IN ONE ROW.
tRichmends Theatrical Manager
Pulls Winning Ticket, In
Opinion Of Expert Critics

An excursion trip from Ken
lucky to Egypt, or vice versa,
with all the thrills and frills, the
former icluding those of the wilds
of the foreign lands, and the lat
ter those of the beautiful cos
tunes of Miss Geraldine Farrar,
has been offered through scfpu-
lous management of Miss Anna
Bell Ward, of the Alhambfa the
alter, as we'll as the opera house.
The fact that the noted conglom-
Grafton of actresses and actors,
together wit hthe wide range of
scenery, were concentrated in one
batch of films to be shown here
within a very short period, was
not recognized even by the expert
management of the releasing sta
tons. in the east who make d
speciality of this work. However,
the pictures have been released
to the local playhouses and the
high management" in the dis
Itributing centers is tipping hats
+ to the work, but looking some
what abashed when their atten-
ton is called to the fact that the
theaters are under the personal
supervision and general manage
ment of what they now realize is
a real capable young woman.
There is gossip in more than
one distributing center where the
noted pictures are prepared and
released in the clever arrange
nent of "all good ones in row, +"
but this is seldom accomplished.
However the credit falls to the
management of the local houses,
and that's all there is to it, ex-
cept that she is credited with be-
ing an adept at choosing pictures
and that they will be shown here
first and in the best form.
One is Paramount under the
title of Fires of Faith" one of
the pictures which was to have
been boom LATER on. 1t will be
seen here Thursday. 1t is the
picture that aroused New York,
and kept that metropolis aroused
for several weeks and they did
not tire of it then.
Then comes the noted film,
Flame of the Desert" in which
Miss Farrar stars, as do others.
This will be the bill at the opera
house Friday and at the Alham-
bra on Saturday, also. Here are
the real desert scenes that have
attracted much attention thru
out the world.
'The Moonshine Trail" with
Miss Sylvia Dreamer, at the AL
+hambra Saturday afternoons and
at the opera house on Saturday
night. There are stars galore to
be seen in one and all of the
above pictures, and this is stated
for the fact that it is no press no.

this comment, which is recited
and repeatd by criterions of ex-
traordinaIy pictures as very lust.
