IiYCEUM THE-ATER.

Robert Warwick 'tIn Mizzoura," is one of the best pictures that has been seen in this city in many a day. It is thrilling story centering around train robbery and the love of Sheriff Jim Radburn for little Kate Vernon. Major Warwick is cast as the sheriff and Eileen Percy has the leading feminine role. Major War wick recently returned from Franc ce where he was with the A. E. F. He says that while overseas he saw life from every angle. He learned how men act and feel under all sorts of experiences. The star Of the picture says that in showing him life the war has helped him in his chosen pro fession. Three big acts of vaudeville are on the bill. Lou and Grace Har- vey have an act which includes har- nlony and com edy and they put the stuff over the footiights in good style Harry Crawford is a comedian who pleased yesterdays audiences. He has a new line and keeps his aud fence amused during his fifteen min utes on the stage. The Swiss Song Birds provide a fine musical act in a special setting. There are several other pictures on the big bill. Open- ing with the matinee On Monday the big picture of the season is booked. Wallace Reid, in 'The Lottery Man" is a real picture.

Bud Lor- r3l1ne, the cowboy ntri1oquist. high 1y entertai11s and Daniels and Walters offer Q clever act with good singing and musical numbers, The biz feat. nre photoplay on the program now playing is Frank Keenan, Americas s greatest charaeter actor, in his new Broadway hit, "Cates of Brass.''
 ''GateS of Brass.'' What a world of imagination is conJured up by tho recollection of this wonderful sen- tence: Some there be that sit in darkness, their hearts bound in iron and their souls in prison behind gates of brass.''
 This is the theme upon whic1, Mrs. Kate CoTbaley buiIded when she wrote the five act drama, Gates of Brass especially for that veteran character actor, Frank Keenan. AL though the quotation reads almost like the text of a, sermon, yet the dramatist has founded thereon a pow- erfully compelling story of modern life. The principal character is g. ''tin-horn" gam mbler-a shell game eNpert-who showed his way into the ranks of'big finance regardless of whom he tramp1ed upon en route. This man had known poverty and re- solved that his motherless daughter should possess the comforts and attri- butes which money could purchase. He forgot the natural law of colnpen- Sation; in fact this eX-fair-ground swindler probably never knew that such a law existed: but a, Nem esis awaited him and he found that all tho money in the world, if gained dis honestly, could not compensate for the loss Of his daughters love and respect.

It is in every respect an ideal. snappy, entertain ing and lovab1e production. To miss Mabel Nornaana in this her latest Pinto" is a girl, a young lady brought up on ranch under the guardianship Of five Deighboring cattlernen in whose care she was left at the death of her father. Pinto a pair of chaps uph o1stered with two colts in Mexican holsters and with out any of the wllin1s or fancies of a young girl. In fact Pinto was woman, young and beautiful but with all the characteristics of a man. She rode hard, could handle the guns and rope Q. steer. Dresses or hats never bothered her for hers a life in the open on a prancins pony. Pinto never allowed dull moment at the ranch, she was the life of the diggins, but her guardians had something in mind for her betterment and ecu- cation. She was sent to New York to visit with Pop Aubrey, a former cattlemap who had taken residence in the big city because his wife was a social climber. When Pinto ar rived ill 0 boyish costume with all the breezy air of the prare the would-be society queen gave her a cold reception. Pinto soon discov- cred that the lady was not all that q wife should be but decided that silence was the better course until the lady became too obnoxious and secret was out with the result that Pop Aubrey pulled up stakes for the open.

NEW YORK BANK ASCRIBEs
TlGHTNESS OF MONEY TO
RAILROAD SITUATION

Increased discount rates can hard
ly be expected to do more than check
further borrowing, according to the
National Bank of Commerce in New
York, until the railroad situation i'm
proves so as to permit prompt liquid
alton of commercial and agricultural
credits. In its money market discus
sions in the July number of its maga-
zine. Commerce Monthly, the bank
declares that the present partial
breakdown of transportation, by in
terfering with the movement of pro-
duets, has prevented the liquidation
of n tremendous volume of credits
such as is normally effected at this
season of the year.
During the period from May 16
to June l5," the bank points ont,
"the money market has experienced
continued tension which, largely as
consequence of the traffic situa-
tion, has become pronounced during
the proceeding month. The strain
on credit facilities has been reflected
in n further general advance in
money rates. While some improve
ment of the traffic situation, mainly
potential rather than actual, has
been accomplished, it has proceeded
sufficiently to release any consider
able part of the credit which had
been looked mp, and traffic condi-
tions can be expected to improve
only slowly Meanwhile, the credit
requirements of q new crop move
ment will become pressing in the not
distant future.
Until the railroad situation inn
proves sufficiently TO afford an ade-
dhate physical basis for the prompt
liquidation of commercial and agri-
cultural credits, the increased dis,
count rates adopted by many
of tie federal reserve banks can
lardpi be expected to do more than
check further borrowing; thereafter
they should be strong influence in
effoctinG n curtailment of outstand-
credit, in preparation for the heavy

COMMON S0RGhUMS MAY BE
POISONOUS UHDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS
Few MOuthfuIs of Kafr Have Been
Known 10 XIII a Cow in Ten
Minutes

Under the name, Sorghum" are
included sweet sorghum or sorgo
milo, kalir, broomcon, kaoliane,
feterita, Sudan grass, etc. Some OF
these plants, alrd possibly all of
them, may be poisonous under GER
tain conditions. The poison is prus
sic or hydrocyanic acid.
In the dry land districts of Colo
RADIO conditions are favorable for
poisoning. When cane or kafir has
made stmted growth, for two OF
three weeks before frost, the most
poisoning occurs. After it has been
cured by cutting or frost it has never
been known TO kill animals.
a few mouthfuls of kalir, on an
empty stomach has been known to
kill COW in ten minutes, Says Dir.
Glover of the Colorado Agricultural
Collele. Prussic acid forms in the
stomach very quickly from :he pres
ence of glucosidc in The corn which
is acted upon by a ferment.
Conditions for poisoning have been
found in quite n number of both ma
tive and domesticated plats and it
is quite possible that in many cases
where animals have died niysterer-
iously, without the presence of either
infection or any known poisonous
plant, that some plant capable of de
velopine prussic acid is responsible.
Farmers should know the condi-
tions under which poisoning is liable
to occur and take no chances. Acute
eases are so rapidly fatal that the
animal is usually dead before rene
dial measures can be adopted.

ter wheat and $4,000 ucres Of
spring wheat, or total of l,350,000
acres devoted to wheat in the state,
compared with 1,325,733 acres re-
ported by assessors last year. Pres
ent indications are that reports of
county assessors will be about ten
per cent short of the acreage of all
the principle crops, so that the total
acreage devoted to wheat in the state
this year is about l,4S5,0O0 acres.
The harvesting of the crop is now
well under way and threshing is pro-
ceeding in some sections of the state.
Yields reported by threshermen this
year are much greater per acre than
they We're last year and il is appar-
ant that the total production will be
close to 25,000,000 bushels, COM
pared with a final estimate of IT,
6li,30O bushels last year. Estimating
that the average price received by
Colorado farmers will be close to
S2.2O per bushel. the value of the
wheat crop grown in the state this
year will be close to 1000, 900,
compared with about $4,000, 900
last year. This by far the largest
wheat crop ever grown in the state,
and its total value will be greater
by about $4,0O0,OOO than the value
of all crops, including fruits. grown
in the state in 1919, rs reported by
the census bureau. 1t is possible
that the wheat crop this year may
for the first time in the history of
the state be the first crop in the
point Of value, surprising hay, which
has heretofore been the states most
Valuable crop.
Approximately II per cent of the
winter wheat grown in the state this
year is irrigated, compared with
nearly IL per cent last year, and
the acreage of spring wheat irri-
gated is ASS per cent of the total
average, compared with about 4G
per cent last wear, The figures show
that approximately 20 per cent of
the entire wheat crop this year is
irrigated, compared with 81 per cent
last year and 5l.l per cent in 1909,
as reported by the census bureau.
The total area devoted to wheat
in 1909 was 340,72D acres. or about
onc-fourth of the acreage reported
this year by county usscssors.
