STRAND THEATRE

Never has the needless recklessness
of good womanhood when friendship
sounds the call for succor been more
splendidly exemplified than in "The
Oath" the h. A. Walsh production
for Associated First National Pic
lures, which opens at the Strand
Theatre Sunday and Monday. The
scene in which Irene Merriam sacri-
fees everything for the sake of her
husbands friend is the most dramatic
which has been shown on the sceen
in years.
Mr.. Walsh is TO be thanked for an
admirable piece of entertainment. He
has taken William j. Locke's novel
"Idols," and, while adhering closely to
the plot which makes the work such
a strongly dramatic piece of fiction,
has frightened it considerable and
made the action rapid and scintillat-
ing by discarding the non-essentials
and building his picture play around
the big points Of the original work.
The finished result is a remarkable
structure Of dramatic entertainment.
The east which Mr.. Walsh has Sc
lected for the portrayal Of his story
could hardly be improved upon. Mir
lam Cooper wins new laurels by the
splendid ability she shows in inter
preting the emotional and contradc-
tory character of Minna Hart. Con-
way Tearle won the distinction of
heading his own company by his work
in the productions Henry Give por-
trays the role of Gerard Merriam
and Anna @. Nilsson the role of Irene
Lansing in a way that entities them
to share honors with Miss Cooper and
Mr.. Tcalle.
Mr. Walsh has taken a daring sub
ject that Of the relation of religious
prejudice 10 marriage between par
ties Of different crecds, and has
treated the matter so delicately that
there is nothing but delightful enter
tainmcut The dramatic story that
results could have been based on no
other premises than that of deep emo
tons aroused by conflicting religions.
A more gripping photoplay has not
been seen here this season.

GARDEN NOTES

Keep potato and tomato plants well
sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture to
protect them against blight.
Cultivation Of the new strawberry
bed should be thorough and frequent
and continue as long as the plants
are growing in the fall
All seed stalks of rhubarb plants,
should be cut out promptly, as soon
as they appear. Seed production ex-
hausts plant food, which should 9th
erwise be used by the plant.
Don't continue cutting the aspara-
gus bed too late in the season. Re-
member that the plants must be given
time to store up food in the roots for
producing next years crop.
It is good plan TO apply a good
top dressing Of manure to the aspar-
agus bed at the end Of the cutting
season. 1t may then be thoroughly
cultivated into the soil and will not
interfere with early growth in the
spring.
Why do peony buds often form but
never develop into flowers? This is
often due to poor dry soil. Ferti-
lie well, mulch the plants during hot
weather and give them plenty OF
water during the blooming season

Mr.. Davies entire business career
has been devoted to the general field
of practical engineering and mechan-
zeal production, entering the field
about 20 years ago by serving four
year apprenticeship as machinist
with the e. Long Manufacturing
Company, Ltd, of Orillia, Canada.
His next positions were with various
western Engineering and Machinery
Manufacturing Companies, notably
the Western Gas Engine Works of
Los Angeles, Calf, the Willamette
Iron & steel Works of Portland, Ore,
and the Yellowstone Park Hotel Com
pany of Yellowstone National Park,
which Company MIR. Davies served as
Chief Engineer for 6 years and later
supervised the installation of all ma
chinery and equipment at their New
Canyon Hotel at Yellowstone Nation
al Park.
Mr.. Davies has been connected with
the Republic Organization for over
Z years, beginning as tool room ma
chinist, and, through Jealous applica-
ton to his duties gained numerous
promotions. He was an active factor
in helping develop the phenomenal
enlargement of the Republic Com
pany's capacity as a truck producer,
and during the War acted as Assist
ant Manager of the specially built
Republic Plant which produced the
Company's large quota of United
States Army Trucks.
Two years ago Mr.. Davies was APP
pointed General Superintendent of
the Republic Manufacturing Plants,
and later, Factory Manager. He has
proven himself exceptionally well
fitted to handle factory production
problems, and his personal popularity
among the factory employees at the
Republic Plant accounted in large
measure for his highly successful
leadership in the broad welfare ac-
tivities carried on throughout the
Company's factory organization.

North County Line BROAD The
people Of st. Louis and those living
north and east Of the city will be
pleased to learn that there is to be a
new gravel highway through Pine
River and Bethany townships and on
to the north. Signatures Of nearly
all of the adjacent property owners
have been secured, which means that
the work on the highway will be
started as soon as the preliminary
steps can be taken.
The road will be built under the
Covert act, the expense will be divid-
ed equally between the state, county
township and property owners, % per
cent to each. 1t is expected that sur
veyors will lay out the road at once
then the property owners will have a
hearing, bids will be advertised for
and work will start. If nothing goes
wrong the road will be completed this
fall. The St. Louis Common Council
has agreed TO connect up the read
from the north city limits with the
pavement, which will be a source Of
much JOY to the people who travel
this thoroughfare during the rainy
season. The city of st. Louis will
help the property owners along the
highway, as it was understood when
signatures to the petitions were Sc
cured, that $1,000 would be raised in
the city and divided equally among
those living on the highway, thus as
sisting in reducing the expense to

Earl Throst, who murdered the pret-

for which Throst is to pay with his
life was one of the most brutal on rec

Loving Cups to 90 to the Winners
In the Show.

Next week, January 3 to 6, are the
dates OF Delaware County's first an
nual poultry show, to be held in the
armory at Manchester.
With the present prices of poultry
and eggs we believe the show will be
well attended and large exhibits
shown, as this is the means of getting
before the people and awakening them
to the fact that it is a paying and worth
while business to breed and raise
fancy and market poultry.
We would urge everyone to get
their entries in as soon as possible
to w. ]. Schiess, secretary Of the as
sociation. Also to join the County
Association. They will hold a meet
ing Friday fterno0n. December 80, at
the Farm Bureau office
Harry Atkins, who is widely known
as one of the foremost judges in the
country, will spend three days here
scoring every bird. It is certain that
the winners will be rightfully placed.
The nine beautiful loving cups to be
given at this show are on display in
the window OF Gildner Bros, Clothing
store. Besides the regular premiums
there are special cash prizes and
ribbons. Now is the time to advertise
for next years sales by exhibiting
your birds.
Supt. s. T. Harmon, who has worked
hard for the success Of the poultry
show, announces that he has succeed
ed in getting listed pair Green
Wyandottes from Greenland. The
birds are unique in many respects
and local poultry fanciers will be in
terested to see these rare birds from
Greenland.
