Because our big advertising posters
for CLEOPATRA" failed to arrive we
do not want our patrons to under
estimate this wonderful play; the big
posters would have contained much
of interest, but we have chosen some
extracts from the phamplets sent u.s.
The play is presented by VIM. Fox
with Theda Bara as star. The play
is unparalleled in magnifcence and is
most gorgeous in its setting Ten
thousand persons are represented in
the play, 80 ships, 5000 horses and a
great naval battle Egyptian cities
are faithfully portrayed. Miss Bara,
the beautiful queen of the Nile, ap-
pears in fifty distinctive1y different
! costumes. In photographing the pic
ture rugs and tapestries valued at
$780, 900 were used, which gives faint
idea of the splendor surrounding
these scenes. Egypt, Alexandria,
Rome, the immensity of the desert,
the sphinx, the pyramids, the Med
1terranean and Nile, armies and car
avans, Caesar, Anthony, Pharoh and
Cleopatra, of noted historical fame,
the woman who cost man his throne,
can you imagine anything more stup-
endous. The Garden Theatre thus far
has never been able to present such a
gigantic production. You can't afford
to miss it, the prices are low for this
wonderful play-15 and 25 cents, this
includes war tax. Remember-two
shows-Friday and Saturday even
| ings. Adv. It.

SHORT TERM-DIsrR1Cr COURT

The regular May term of district
court for Trego county is set for the
third Monday in the month. The term
was called on that date but not much
business was transacted as cases were
not ready for trial and there was a
more urgent demand for the services
of the court somewhere else. Several
motions and final arguments on cases
were considered and disposed of, the
term lasting about one day. Judge
Purcell is now holding court in one
of the counties to the east. The fol-
lowing lawyers were here for the May
term Cyrus Monroe, of Topeka, Carl
Holmquist, A. D. Gilkerson and j. p
Shuts, of Hays.

THE BIND WEED

wonder how many farms in Kan
sas have the bind weed and how many
persons who have it really know what
a pest it is. A little innocent looking
vine, something like a morning glory.
The leaves are about the same length,
only more narrow, and it has small
white flower one half or one-third as
large the ordinary morning glory
and the same shape. The roots differ
from most roots, one shoots goes
straight down into the subson pretty
deep, then a perfect network of an
other kind of root spread out in every
direction. A little under the surface of
the top soil. Flowing, disking or cult
waiting the soil only tends to increase
the growth of the pest and branch
or root carried to another part of the
field on any farm implement only

AUTOMOBILE LAW CONSTRUED

Last week a matter came up in the
Justice Court over the construction
of the law in regard to the use of
DINNERS on automobile headlights
Prior to that time / had been in
structed by the attorney genraPs of
flee to prosecute persons who failed
to comply with the law, in either to
use lights shaded, or lights with dis
persive tense, or for failure to use
DINNERS And when Iaperceived that
the question of the construction of
the statute in regard to the use of
DINNERS likely to be raised I wrote
the attorney generals Office and re-
ceived the following letter from that
office last Saturday.
Office of Attorney General,
Topeka, Kansas, May Ia, 1920
Mr.. John r. Parsons,
WaKeeney, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
In response to your inquiry of May
18th for construction of section 5,
Chapter IA, laws of 1917, will say
that the clear intent and meaning of
the statute is to protect other users
of the roads.
This cannot be done if the car is
merely equipped with DINNERS and
they are not used.

FOR OGALLAH AND VICINITY

bloom it goes to seed. The only
method to eradicate it known by the
writer is to salt the ground. 1t will
surely pay any farmer who is bother
ed with it to get busy and try to get
rid of it at once. In a few years acres
of land will be practically useless for
anything but hog pasture or per-
haps sheep. But these animals can't
stop the steady growth and spread of
the vine. I am inclined to believe that
in some localities it would pay the
farmers to club together and
purchase cheap salt by the carload
lot and go after the pest in dead ear
nest.

OUTS very Truly,
Richard J. Hopkins,
Attorney General.
Every owner of an automobile has
furnished him small pamphlet with
all the automobile laws printed in the
same. The opinion of the attorney
general is the final law on the matter
unless reversed by the supreme court,
so far as the county attorneys office
is concerned, as to the construction
of any statute of law there in. We
will not hesitate to prosecute any
violation of the law according to the
above construction of the statue which
happens after the publication of this
notice. The use of an excessive bright
light in passing either other automo-
biles or teams is extremely dangerous
to all parties concerned. In order for
US to do this it is necessary that a
sworn complaint be filed.
Yours truly,
John R. Parsons,
County Attorney.

CELMENCEAU IS OUT OF POLITICS
 WRITING NOVEL

PARIS, July 24 (by Associated Press).-That Georges Clemenceau, the former premier, has definitely withdrawn from active politics and worries little about criticisms levelled at him by enemies of his regime and of the Versailles treaty, was shown when @ correspondent of the Associ- ated Press called on him to obtain his reply to taunts of his adversaries in the chamber of deputies to the effect that he did not know where Mosul (Turkey) was located when he ceded it to Great Britain.
 These professors of geography, who are criticising me-" replied the former premier, would be greatly embar- rassed if some one should ask them the location of a town of that size in their own circumscriptions."
 M Clemenceau was engaged in the task of putting the finishing touches on the first draft of a novel dealing with Egyptian life. He said he was through with politics forever. My task is finished; I have done my work" he told the correspondent.
 The statesman, now entering his 8Oth year, looked hale and vigorous and in better health than he has been since the attempt upon his life by Emile Cottin.

TOXIC, July A (by Associated Press).-As bearing on the freedom of the press in Korea promised by the Japanese government in that country, a Seoul dispatch to the Asahi says that the To-a-Nippo (The Far Eastern Daily News) has been subject to sus- pension because of the publication of "anti-nationalistic articles" that is to say, anti-Japanese. The Asahi says the governor general thinks that the general attitude of the newspaper toward the administration is too "rep- rehensible" to be allowed to continue The journal adds that there is a ten dency among the Korean newspapers to give publicity to articles which the authorities think fit to suppress.

It was formerly the custom of the night watchmen to shout loudly in Turkish that all was we'll every time they pounded on the ravement. But the allies forbade the shouting, and since the armistice the night policemen, most of whom are very old men, content themselves with hammering the pavement. The Turkish population objected strong 1y to having the hammering discon- tinued, as it is supposed to be the only means of guaranteeing that the policemen will patrol their beats

 MOUTH RIVER

At a we'll attended and lengthy meeting of the Cordova Chamber of a aCommerce held at the Northland Club last night, the preservation of the sal mon of this section resulted in the sub ject being thrashed out and decisive action taken against the continuance of fishing at the mouth of the Copper river. Attorney A. J. Dimond and Superintendent Jos. Moser, represent ing the Abercrombie Packing Com pany, appeared before the chamber and presented their side of the case. Those who spoke against a contlnu- ance of fishing at the mouth of the river included Falcon Joslin, Edward F. Medley and Frank H. Foster SEvery phase of the situation was dis cussed, after which the following res olution introduced by MT, Foster was adopted
 Whereas the salmon canning indus try is one of the chief sources or revenue as we'll as the source of the greatest export of food stuffs from the Territory of Alaska, and,
 Whereas the Copper River and it's tributaries are among the chief spawning grounds for red or sockeye salmon in Alaska, being capable of producing thousands of cases of choice red salmon each year, indef- initely, if protected by proper fish, ing regulations, and
 Whereas the taking of salmon in the Copper river between the mouth of Miles lake and Mile 55 on the Copper River and Northwestern Rail- road for the past five years, has so depleted the salmon supply of the Copper River as to render inevitable the complete extinction of this fish in said stream within a very few years if such practice is longer permit ted, and,
 Whereas the force of employees of the fishery deparment of the United States is inadequate to enforce the regulations of said department ap- pIicable to fishing at the mouth of vthe said Copper River by reason of which thousands of fish are taken contrary to law; therefore
 BE TT RESOLVED by the chamber of commerce of the town of Cordo- va, Territory of Alaska, that the pres ident, secretary of commerce, com missioner of the bureau of fisheries, The delegate to congress from Alaska, and the congress of the United States: be. and they are here petitioned to immediately take such steps as may be necessary to provide suitable reg Ulations and laws forbidding all com nercial fishing in the Copper river above the mouth thereof and within 150O feet of the mouth thereof, and further, that they provide an adequate force of inspectors and other en- ployes for the proper enforcement of this and other laws and regulations to the end that the Copper river may not be destroyed as a source of red sal mon. ss.
