''BLIZZARD'' MOST DIFFICULT
ROLE IN 1.-THE PENALTY

.,h>> Stage hands, camera men and all
aht actors engaged in making new
Goodwin Picture 1.-THE Penalty un-
-, consciously breathe sigh OF rellel
when Lon CLANCY, who plays the
part Of "Blizzard," gets out OF har-
q ness.
The term, in this case, has more
than ordinary meaning. In playing
the part of the mad man Of the un-
derworld CLANCY has stepped into
one OF the most difficult parts ever
attempted in motion pictures. ,
Although a strong able bodied
mamie has to play the part OF a
man without legs
In Gouverneur Morris famous
story tho chief character is bril-
liant man whose legs were amputat-
ed at the knees when he was a little
boy, TO get man without legs
who was an accomplished actor was
difficult task. Finally CLANCY
volunteered for the part. Every day
he gets into a harness which straps
the lower part OF his legs to his back
thus enabling him to walk about on
his knees and giving the effect OF a
leeless man. The strain Of holding
the position is so great and dang
er Of stopping the circulation so i'm
minent that the actor cannot keep
the harness on for more than twelve
minutes at a time. On the screen
however, he is a wonderful imitation
of the character made famous by Mr..
Morris.
CLANCY first came into prominence
as a delineator Of cripples in THE
Miracle Man." where he appeared as
the distorted thief, who faxed his
injuries, in order to get aims.
1.-THE Penalty is one OF the Emf
nent Authors series, being produced
by the Goldwyn Pictures corporation
of New York. It is to be shown at
the Elko theatre. commencing Sun

Naed Of Friendship.

He that can only be useful on great
occasions may die without exercising
his abilities and stand helpless spec
tator of a thousand vexations which
fret away happiness and which moth
Ing is required to remove but a little
dexterity Of conduct and readiness OF
expedients. No degree of knowledge
attainable by man is able to set him
above the want Of hourly assistance
or to extinguish the desire Of fond en-
daarments and tender officiousness
and, therefore, no one should think 1t
unnecessary to leave those arts by
which friendship Is gained. Kindness is
preserved by constant reciprocation OF
benefits and interchange Of pleasures
but such benefits can only be bestowed
as others are capable to receive, and
such pleasures impaired as others are
qualified to enjoy.-Dr. Samuel John
son.

gerous weeds in NJ ontana. Three
species of bindweed are found. but
the most troublesome is the field or
small bindweed.
This plant was introduced from
Europe in seed wheat. It has a slen-
der root from which buds start at
irregular intervals, growing either
into propagating roots or upwards to
the surface to form shoots. These
rootlets grow in a fibrous mass SO
thickly that they absorb all the moist
ure necessary for the growing plant.
In appearance the leaves of bindweed
are triangular or spear shaped and
the flowers. which resemble small
morning glory. are usually white,
sometimes pink with white stripes.
or all pink.
Corn will grow buetwo or three
feet high in infested fields because
the bindweed grows best in midsum-
mer. Wheat has better chance but
Is usually poor stand. Where the
yield would be normally 8 to Is bu-
shells to the acre only two or three
bushels are produced.
Quack grass is also a native of Eu-
rope. Introduced along the Allan
tic seaboard it gradually spread out
westward. It can be eradicated by in
tense cultivation. Pastures which
have become infested must be turned
into fields for a number of years.

moval of the forms the sides of the
tank may be flushed with MIXTURE
Of cement and water to smooth up
any little irregularities.
Heavy woven wire fencing may be
used to reinforce the tank. Lap the
ends of the reinforcing at least sin
inches. The reinforcing for the walls
should be placed near the outer side
and we'll covered with concrete.
1t is preferable to have the forms
of green lumber. If seasoned lumber
is used it should be dampened with
water before the concrete is poured
into the forms. This will prevent the
dry boards from absorbing the mois.
ture from the concrete which. If per
mitted. would cause the walls OF the
tank to crack.
Inner Walls should slope.
Make the bottom Of the tank
smaller than the top by sloping the
inner walls. This will prevent ice
from breaking the walls. The inner
forms should be built so that they
may be easily removed. 4 wedge
can be used to advantage if the
forms swell and are difficult to re
move. Avoid heavy pounding and
prying as green concrete is easil!

A good sanitary water supply Is
necessary on every farm. Where
springs and running water are not
present it is necessary to rely on
wells and a tank big enough to hold
three or four days supply. Concrete
Is good material for such tanks. It
is easy to handle can be made in any
shape or size, and is easily water
PROCEED. The sand and gravel neces-
sary for constructing the tank are
often found on the farm. and. il
such is the case, the cost Of con-
structing is materially reduced.
A good mixture for concrete tanks
is one part cement two parts sand
and four parts broken stone or
gravel. If neither gravel nor broken
stone can be obtained mixture OF
one part cement and three parts OF
coarse sand can be used.
Should BE Thoroughly Mixed.
The cement and aggregate should
be thoroughly mixed and the result
