LA TOILETTE JUMPS
INTO THE CAMPAIGN
Takes Stump for J. Thomp
son, His Candidate for
Senate.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HrR.tn.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 21.-After a four
years absence, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, showing evidence of his recent
Illness entered the political ring to-
night taking the stump for his protege.
James Thompson, who is fighting Irvine
L. Lenroot for the right to represent
Wisconsin in the Senate.
The Senator has lost none of his old
time fire. His talk was remarkable in
that 1t contained no Endorsement of the
national ticket. He attacked Wilson,
the League of Nations. the Esch-Cum-
minis law and Lenroot.
Put any single nation in control Of
the seas and lay it down as a maxim
that you have given to that nation the
arbitrary power to control the CONNER
cial and Industrial development of the
world" he exclaimed
The man in whose hands fate had
placed the destinies of the nation. with
out question, without argument with
out reservation, at once yielded, on the
eve or the writing of the terms of the
armistice, to the demands of Great
Britain that the control of the seas
should be reserved to her. BY this act
he made good the boast Of Lloyd George
In his speech at Glasgow, June 30. 1917.
when he said: Britain will rule the
waves through the war and after the
war.
After he had taken this country into
the war on the ground that our rights on
the sea had been interfered with. and
that they must be maintained; that
there must be an open pathway on the
sea; that the rights of neutrals on the
seas were sacred, President Wilson sat
down at the peace table and surren-
dered to Great Britain the absolute con-
troll OF the seas In Gods name, Is there
to be found anywhere in the history of
the nations of the world such n be-
trayal? And those Senators. like Mr..
Lenroot who voted to confirm the
pledges made in this treaty. Endorsed
that action and must be held to account
for 1t by the American people.
MY friends, the little group of men
who sat In secret conclave at Versailles
were not peace makers. They were war
makers. They cut and slashed the map
Of the Old World in violation of the
terms Of the treaty.
THE only hope of the people of this
country for relief lies with the small
group of independent Senators and
Representatives who, regardless of the
press, regardless of the money power.
VIII refuse TO bow under the party laws
and who have the constructive vision
and the courage to fight for legislation
IN the interests of the people,

The exteriors are things of beauty.
The rugged, towering mountains of
San Bernardino county and the
orange groves and rose gardens
around Redlands, the locals of the

1t took eight months to film "The

"EYES OF THE WORLD"

"The Eyes of the World" the pho
toplay from Harold Bell Wright's
truly great novel, shown at the Rex
Theatre, Friday, April 9th, is big
and intensely interesting production.
The photoplay follows the authors
story with exactitude and the char
acters on the screen are the charact-
ers from the pages of the novel to the
life.
1t is unnecessary to say anything
about the plot-let it suffice that it
concerns a group of the most inter-
esting characters ever presented.
A prologue gives ample explana-
tion of the story proper, accounting
for the actions and punishment of
the various characters.
Monroe Salisbury, as the cynical
LeGrange, is easily the outstanding
character in the photoplay.

artist; Kathleen Kirkman, as the de-

BIG WORK PLANNED BY
WORKERS IN
TWO.DAY SESSION HERE

. With a clear-cut program for ag-
ricultural research in, Mt least "a
great fields of farm life definitely
mapped out, the experiment workers
of Mississippi held a two-day session
at the A. and M. College last week,
full of promise for the future.
The discussions, which were fea-
tured by candid opinions from extern
sion workers, teachers of agriculture
and other experts, as we'll as by the
research men themselves, issued into
clearly defined methods of proceed
ure.
The major experiments planned
for next year include investigation
in great detail in the subjects upon
which work is already being done:
Mule breeding; tests for greater
horse production; series of tests
for f eding hogs; tests for grad-up
native cattle with purebred 81 es;
cotton variety tests; corn variety
tests; soil fertility work including a
diversity of commercial fertilizer ex-
periments as well as a numb r of
crop rotation tests; the establishing
OF pastures; experiments in relative
value of fo age crops; tests in green
manure; SITS in forage poisoning;
tests in crayfish, and tests in scale
insects.
In addition to an expansion of all
old studies the following entirely
new projects are shortly to be
launched: Plant disease studies, in
cluding diseases of tomatoes, cotton
and potatoes, extensive dairy tests,
includingg soiling crops, time of
freshening, and the like; horticultu-
raj experiments cove ing garden,
truck, and orchard problems of the
state; tests for stomach parasites in
cattle; tests for the adaptability of
the types of farm machinery to the
sections of the state; tests for poul-
try management; tests in farm man.
agement; and tests in the fruiting of
corn for the purpose of discovering
why the great prospects of tasselling
time fail to realize in fruit.
1t is the general feeling of the en-
tire staff, from Director Kicks down
through the branch stations in every
section of the state, that the Missis-
sippi stations will shortly be in posi-
tion to render to their people SER
vice not inferior to the great bene-
fits being given to the stations in
other, and even the weather., states.
Among those who participated in
the conference were Director Kicks,
Vice-Director Brown, and Animal
Husbandman Griswoldof of the local
station; Director Ames of Holly
Springs; Walker of Stoneville; Ferris
of Poplarville; and Greene of Nc
Mel; Director Wilson; Assistant
Director Willis; Club Director Tan
ner, and others of the extension
work; Director Robert of the school
of agriculture; Professors Moore,
Briscoe, Beal, Harmed, Jones, Mckay
and others of the faculty.
The appropriation by the legisla-
tureof total of $4,000 for the
several stations exceeds anything
ever done by the state for this
branch of work and has put both
and responsibility and an inspiring
hope in the life of agricultural re-

FALLING TREE KILLS
MANY FISH IN A CREEK
Two Choppers Fill Five Burlap Bags
With Suckers.


NEWPORT, N. H.-One day this
week Jed Fuller and Bud Hollis were
working in Fuller's woods, cutting
trees for telephone poles.
A large tree near the creek was
felled and went into the stream with
a crash A few minutes later the
men were surprised to see number
of dead fish floating in the water.
Hollis entered the creek and threw
out dead and stunned fish to dry
land. Hollis says he filled five bur-
lap bags with suckers.
According to Fuller's statement,
during April the suckers run up the
creek to the spawning beds; that
where the tree fell into the creek
there is a shallow rift and he believes
that school of wish was passing over
the rift at the time and that the
limbs of the tree killed the fish.
The largest sucker weighed five
pounds. Mr.. Hollis is still supplying
the village with fresh fish.

CHICAGO POLICE
START CLEANUP
MAYOR THOMPSONS ORDERS
TO CHIEF ARE TO PROVE
UP OR RESIGN.

CHICAGO.-Ch of Police Gar
rity is starting out under new po-
lice ordinance he helped to frame
himself to clean up crime IN Chicago
in spite of the politicians.
Everybody considers the chief on
six months probation. In January
Mayor Thompson said:
of | were chief of police | would
draw a new ordinance; and if, under
nv ordinance, / couldn't suppress
crime in six months | would resign"
Ever before the chiefs eyes are
the long rows of pictures hanging IN
his office of former Chicago police
chiefs, with the dates showing that
scarcely any lasted more than two
years.
Clarity, former National Guard
colonel and not a policeman, was &p-
pointed chief in November, 1918.
Twice he and the mayor have quar-
relied. He is usually at war with Ma
clay Hoyne, states attorney and
arch enemy of the mayor. Thomp-
sons leaders have clamored for his
head several times. Every now and
then it is reported Clarity will re-
sign.
"Clean-Up'' Halted.
Clarity is plugging along in spite
of opposition and in spite of the fact
that the police ordinance he drew is
little better than the old one because
of trimming in council.
Some months ago Clarity was
going to clean up the police depart
Iment by dismissing six police cap
tains. But nothing was done. 1t is
said powerful influence stopped it.
The new Chicago crime commits
sion is seeking to aid Clarity. But
Henry Barrett Chamberlin, commits
sion director, agrees with the states
attorney that Clarity is helpless.
Reduction in crime is pointed to by
Clarity came in January, just after
the commissions first annual report,
showing the 1919 record of a MUIR
der nearly every day and burglary,
robbery or automobile theft every 80
| to 40 minutes.
Police Captains ring"
Edwin w. Sims, president of the
crime commission, says:
"The police know who the habitual
criminals are. Backed up by the
prosecution authorities and the
courts, there isn't a police captain in
the city today who cannot reduce
crime in his precinct so per cent in
| 80 days if he wants to-"
A ring of police captains is credit
ed with being the invisible govern
ment" that actually runs the Chi
cago police force. States Attorney
Hoyne. says there are only three
good" police captains in Chicago.
