GREAT NOVEL BY CHURCHILL is
SCREENED
''The Inside of the Cup" Which Crea-
ted a Storm to be Shown at NixOn'S
Palace Theatre Wednesday and
Thursday of Next Week.

Every reader of current literature
will recall the sensation caused by
the publication several years ago of
Winston Churchill's powerful novel,
"The Inside of the Cup" The story
attacked the alleged hypocrisy of GER
tain clergymen and men of wealth
identified with churches as vestry-
men. The philosophy of the book was
criticised by churchmen in this coun-
try and in England as an unwarrant-
ed attack upon religion and the cloth.
The picture rights having been OBJ
tanned by Cosmopolitan at great eX-
pense, the story was picturized by
Albert Capellani, a famous director
and the film version will be shown at
Nixon's next Wednesday and Thurs
day. The essential features of the
story, which is one of great dramat-
ic force, have been retained while
the anti-hypocrisy philosophy of the
author necessarily has been subOrdi-
mated to the general theme.
The story deals with the Rector of
a fashionable church who turns upon
his wealthy parishioners when he dis
covers them parading under a mask
of hypocrisy and invites the common
people to attend his church. EldOn
Parr, a vestryman, INSCRIPTIONS and
tyrannical, alienates his son and
is finally killed by a man whom he
has ruined. There is a pretty love ro-
nance between the Rector and PARIS
daughter which ends happily. The
leading roles are played by William
P. Carleton and Edith Hallor. Don't
miss this picture.

EVEN GENERALS GET HomEsIck

When Gen. Nivelle entered Tue
Church of st. Sauveur in Philadeipnia
recently he was greeted with Inc
Marseillaise," sung by a choir lea ny
an eleven-year-old boy.
The lad, a son of French soiaier'
walked down the aisle Of the cnurcn
after the song to receive the genera >
kiss of approval and praise.
"sing another song" begged the
general.
And the little chap, clad in the uni
form of the French army, stood al
rigid attention beside the great SOL
der, looked into his kindly eyes anu
sang.
Clear as a bell rang out the great
marching song Of the poilu, "Madelon.
Without a tremor the child sang the
entire song through to the last. MADE
lon, Madelon, Madelon."

evidence points to the conclusion that
the length of time during which the
eggs are such as to be capable of re.
sulting in a healthy chick would vary
largely according to the percentage
egg production maintained and time
allowed for establishing body stor.
age. Temporary heavy laying by
breeding birds has at times been dem
onstrated to go together with vigor in
the chick. but high percentage laying
continued indefinitely does not seem to
give similar results.
Lights Unnatural
One must always bear in mind the
fact that the use Of artificial lights
brings about an unnatural situation.
It does not make springtime conditions
in the winter. Springtime conditions
may be closely Appropriated as far as
insects and green food are concerned,
but the apparently insurmountable diff
nculty OF overcoming temperature
variations still remains. With sudden
onset of comparatively low tempera-
lures birds forced to lay to the peak
of production tend to break down. Gen.
eral observation leads to the belief
that the temperature factor does not
usually seriously affect the birds show
ing comparatively low percentage egg
yield at the time that the cold weather
comes on.
The foregoing only emphasizes the
fact that moderation must be exer-
cised In the use Of this measure, for
even a good thing can be overdone.

TRAVELLING BOYS MONEY WAS NOT GOOD
Pioneers Wouldn't Take Cash for Board Steamer Fare
CAME TO LINDEN FROM EAST IN EARLY SEVENTIES

days for the trip by canoe down the
Nooksack river. A few cattle were
raised and sold to the Whatcom peo-
pie for the money that paid for the
things they did not raise. The trip by
the river was difficult and dangerous
as any one looking at the stream today
might we'll imagine. 1t was necessary
to portage three times each way, car
rying the goods across the land and
dragging the big cedar canoes.
Saved BY Indian Chief
At one time Mr.. Smith was helping
his neighbor and friend r. E. Hawley
bring several loads Of rutabagas down
the river and they we're upset in the
swift current. They had made one
trip in safety and were bringing down
the second big canoe load when, in
trying to dodge snag in log Jam,
they hit 1t head on and the cedar boat
split from end to end throwing them
both into the water. Hawley manag
ed to grasp a piece of the canoe and
keep anoat, but Smith was about to
lEo down in the swirling water when
Indian Jim. the old chief of the Nook
sacks, saw him and rushed into the
water with his canoe and dragged him
ashore. After that he got Hawley.
There were lots of Indians on the
Nooksack in those days, more Of them
than white people, there being only
about twelve families in and around
Lynden. which spread over several
miles of farms. Mr.. Smith left his
brother when he was seventeen to 60
to Steilacoom to school and when he
got back to Whatcom county he went
into the sawmill business in which he
prospered. Later, however. when the
hard times of the nineties came on
he lost his mill in a fire and practical
ly everything he had.
"But we seemed to get on just the
same" he says, looking back over the
days when he and his wife hadn't q
cent. 1T seems funny. to think of II
now, that there were days and weeks
together when he hadn't a nickel tC
spend but we had good time and
something to eat just the same. I re-
member going to a Fourth Of July
celebration with our little boy and
we had as good time as ] have ever
had in my life. There were lots OF
others in the same TX and they al
seemed to enjoy themselves. Nov
they all have money, but don't sec
where they have any better times"
