 lC1RoM the days of the cave man lT woman, down through the ages,
 has come the eternal question of Man Woman Marriage" carrying with it numperless xperiences-number disappointments - mingled much hap piness and much joy
 In the stupendous picture of this name which is attracting great throngs to the Trianon during its premier presentation here. the story has been told with vividness and with elaborateness, the picture being one of the most gorgeous and one of the most colossal which has ever been shown.
 Faith" is the keynote which the story builds on--the faith of the wom- an--that right must conquer might that love will find the way' to reward her for all the vicissitudes which endanger her happiness-all the domestic and social problems which beset society
 In other words it is picture of The Crucible' through which a wom- an must pass, to work out her own salvation-to exonerate herself in her faith" and devotion and the striving for the better things of life
 Man w oman Marriage" traces the ascendency of the feminine sex through the opalescent haze of mythological environment-down through the ages to the present day--when marriage is go lightly entered into-when divorce a cr1r a I'll h thoughtless abandon.
 Truly the question may be asked after seeing Man Woman Marriage
 Why do modern marriages not with stand the acid test of the years, as they did in generations past and gone?''i
 And the answer may be gleaned from the picture as if written in fam ing letters;
 Because marriage is too lightly valued; commercialism plays too large part in it; there is too much lack of heart in it--the one thing that is so much more necessary than any other dozens of things that are now con sidered."
 The story of Man w Woman Mar riage'' tells of the girl. Victoria, with dreams of romance beautiful and in spring, who is forced by her father to accept as suitor one Schuyler-a man whom she cordially dislikes.
 Immediately the inevitable happens to the girl for she meets David Court ney to whom she is tremendously at tracted--and the feeling that she and this man have in some previous in- carnation met and loved each other overpowers her.
 Secretly she visits David, who is an attorney and engaged in Humanitarian work. She asks to share his wcrk and he consents Meanwhile yictoria's ia

LIVE
DEPLETION OF RANGE GRASS
Injury Caused by Premature Grazing
and Lack Of Utilization Of
Forage Crop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Range depletion Is due in a large
measure to premature grazing and to
lack Of uniform utilization Of the for
age crop, Investigations now being car
ried on at the Great Basin experiment
station by grazing specialists in the
forest service Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture show. These
experiments, which have been con-
Quoted over a f~our-year period, have
been for the purpose Of ascertaining
just how certain range bunch grasses
are affected by different systems Of
grazing.
1t was found that the yield Of violet
wheat grass when removed by cutting
once In a season, at the time the seed
crop matured, was four and two
tenths times as large as when it was
removed four times in a season and
three and eight-tenths times as large
as when heritage was removed twice
in the season.
Native bronze grass, on the other
hand, yielded six times as much when
harvested twice during the season,
but the yield from one cutting was
three and three -tenths times as much as
when it was removed four times. This
means in range revegetation that the
grass native there must be taken into
consideration and a system Of grazing
used that Is suitable to It.
The experiments also showed the
striking difference in water content
IN heritage as the season advances. In
the LEAKAGE Of the violet wheat grass
harvested once In a season, just before
seed maturity. the water content aver
aged Al per cent. Plants grazed twice,
late In the season, contained an aver
age moisture content Of 81 per cent.
while plants cropped four times in a
season contained an average Of 70
per cent Of water. Early In the spring
the young LEAKAGE may contain as
much as So per cen Of water. This
