DAYLIGHT SAVING T.

Perth Amboy has officially adopted the day
light saving time schedule. 1t really makes little
difference. as far as the municipality is con-
cerned, what action is taken in this regard.
Last year Perth Amboy had daylight saving
without any official action by the Board of AL
aermen.
s. All suburban communities and cities within
ne metropolitan district are governed largely
! whatever action the railroads may take.
tten the railroads elect to follow the example
~ New York City other communities follow
IS a matter of course, whether the city Of
81 adopts the new time or not.
AaEvENING NEWS has maintained and
ewes that no state or municipality has a
3 interfere with the standard time. The
IN is too closely knit together and the re-
~aations of one section are so close to every other
bection that it is necessary for the smooth run
ming OF business to have one standard time for
all and have that time adhered to.
Washington is the only place where the time
should be changed as it is there where standard
time for the whole nation is fixed. If all the
agitation that has been going on to influence
ktate legislatures and municipal bodies had been
concentrated on congress we believe a bill could
have been passed establishing daylight saving
for the Eastern time zone. at least.
The EVENING NEWS heartily favors day
hight saving as a general principal. The extra
hour thus gained can be used to a decided adj
vantage, but unless the official time is estab-
lished by Washington we do not believe the
change should be made. It is only adding to
the general confusion and things are badly con-
fused already.
z Perth Amboy is now on record in favor OF
daylight saving. 1t makes little difference.
When the train schedule changed in accordance
with New York's time we would have had to go
ahead anyway. so it is just as well.

REMARKABLE DUAL ROLE
PLAYED BY FILM STAR

A startling example Of the change
in facial expression, which may be
accomplished by makeup is shown
this week Sunday at the Grand theat-
err where Priscilla Dean is starring
in her latest Universal super-feature,
Reputation"
The star plays dual role; that Of
mother and of daughter. The mother
is first seem as beautiful woman.
radiant with health and conscious Of
her power as the most famous actress
in Europe. Then as the story is I'M
folded the effect of unrestrained DIS
sipation is shown to scar her coun-
tenance and the concluding scenes
show her face as rideous death
mask in which the eyes glow with
maniacal passion.
For the role of the daughter Miss
Dean used only the customary screen
makeup; but for the highly dramatic
roles of the mother she resorts to
every device in the trick-boX of make
up to distort her classic features, to
mar her alabaster-like SID in and to
show plainly the effects of dissolute
living upon the expression.
1t will be difficult for playgOers
who see "Reputation' TO beiieve that
Laura Figlan. the continental actress,
and Pauline Stevens, the little coun-
try girl, are one and the same per-
son. 1t will tax the credulity to
admit that Priscilla Dean plays both
roles and that in no scene is she
"doubed' by another.

GET YOUR MAN" AT THE
REX THEATER SATURDAY

Buck Jones will come to the Rex
theater Saturday in Get Your Man.
his latest vehicle made for William
Fox and said to be typical Fox en-
tertanllent.
The story is by Alan Sullivan. 1t
is an intensely dramatic tale. 1t
opens with Jock MacTier tBuck
Jones) as the foreman Of a Scotch
mine. Jock, disappointed in love
affair and wishing to forget his mis-
cry, quits Scotland, and is next seen
in the Canadian Northwest, where he
becomes a member Of the Royal
Mounted Police. 1t Is while serving
in this capacity that Jock again en-
counters his former rival in love-
who now is a fugitive defaulted and
wife deserter.
The pursuit by Jock, as an officer,
Of the man who is hunted thief.
and their joint pursuit of fair
daughter of the great northwest pro-
vide ample opportunity for intense
situation and fine acting. The re-
suit is declared to be an eminently
satisfying performance of drama
distinctly different from any in which
this Fox star heretofore has appear
ed. The photography, especially in
the scenes of the great northwest, is
reported to be exceedingly striking
and beautiful. ,,,,

THE CALL FROM THE WILD"
AT REX THEATER SUNDAY

The lover of wholesome entertain
ment will be charmed beyond express
SION when he attends the Rex theater
Sunday and witnesses the presenta-
tion of 1.-The Call of the Wild" that
celmloid cyclone of mountain thrills,
heart throbs and pulsating punches.
Throughout five glorious reels of en-
trancing mountain scenery the action
moves with skymohile 'rapidity in the
development of plot Laid among
mountaineers whose sands Of life run
calmly among the balSam OF the
pines, the babble of the brooks and
the tragedies in the existence of the
furry and feathery inhabitants OF
the canyons and peaks.
The story is that of a deep and UNI
comfortable love, of brave men and
fair women, and shows intimately
the lives and habits of the denlZens
of the forest. Wholesome thrills that
will cause Boy Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls to sit up and take notice are
sprinkled generously through every
reel, while the acting of the wild
wolf-dog that is reformed into gen.
uine hero is so realistic as to give
to the screen performance of mans
faithful friend new place in drama
tic cast.
There lis a reep moral lesson in the
story, which. while not preachment
still shows the efficacy OF prayer, the
great reward for undying faith. and
the glorious compensation for genu-
inc love.

SCRUB BULLS COSTING
MORE THAN GOOD ONES

According to reports received from
Douglas county, Minnesota, a group
of enterprising dairymen near Gar
field and Nelson enjoyed the use of
good purebred bulls for a period of
digit years, all for total investment
of only $25 apiece. The bulls were
bought in 1909. says the report, at
that time they were worth $3.50 each.
In these days of high prices such a
thing sounds almost too good to be
true but the explanation lies in the
fact that the dairymen bought the
bulls comparatively and that the
bulls were shifted from one group OF
farm- to ANOTHER every two years un-
Til each dairyman had the use Of
each bull for two years. In other
words they had formed an asoscia-
ton for securing the use of good
bulls comparatively.
Commenting on this occurance a
Bull Association Specialist of the
Federal Dairy division said that this
was not at I'll unusual and that much
the same thing was being done in one
hundred and fifty other localities in
the United States where cooperative
bull associations had been organized.
The number OF cooperative bull
associations is rapidly increasing,
says the specialist, and wherever the
1plan is adopted the scrub bull is
banished from that territory. The
economy or replacing lot Of poor
bulls with few good purebred bulls
capable of increasing production OF
the herds. is becoming very apparent
to the dairymen.
AS the Cooperative Bull associa-
ton has made it possible for the
farmer to get the use Of these good
bulls at a small cost to each it is
easily seen why the increase in the
rumber Of bull associations in the
United States has been so steady.
The county and the state extension
force have given much assistance dn
organizing these associations, says
the specialist, and they can supply in
formation on bull associations 10
those interested in better dairy cat
tile.

BELTRAMI COUNTY WOOL
GROWERS SELL WOOL CLIP

The Beltrami County Wool Grow
ers association having finished recele-
ing wool last week sold the 1920

1Gc per pound delivered.
The clip had been gathered at a
local warehouse and was sold to the
highest bidder. The shipment was
made ON Monday. Over ITS farmers
contributed wool to this pool
The quality of this wool was con-
sidered very good all the way from
low cut on combed wool to half blood
and few lots Of straight five wool.
The need of using better rams, more
generally, was emphasized. The con-
dition of the wool was generally very
good with just very few lots Of
seedy and !chaffy tleeces.
Credit for the success of this wool
pool should be given to the Sd IS COM
mittee composed of FL ~ Clark, Gil

were very active and who sacrificed
several days time to take care OK this

THE HOME STRETCH" IS
REAL COMEDY DRAMA

Cor edieS possessing genuine ele-
ments of gripping tingling drama and
OF delicate ointment without sacrilc-
ing laugh power are infrequent
enough to cause Douglas MacLean's
latest Paramount picture, "The Home
Stretch" which is showing tonight
and Saturday at the Grand theater to
stand forth as one of the most orig
inal and entertaining offerings of the
year.
The story concerns a Jockey, 4
trainer. racktrack follower, who
at the time the picture opens. has
risen to the rank of racehorse own
ers, and of the difficulties he encoun-
tiers when he attempts to abandon
his gambling habits. Not only is
Mr. MacLeand afforded ample oppor~
tunity to 'get over sparkling COM
edy situations, but to display his dra-
matte ability and his shill with
''thrillers' as we'll.
The opening scenes Of the story.
laid on a famous California race
track, are notable for tensely dra-
matte situai;ons. and a thrilling ac-
cident, in which Mr.. MacLean plays
a. prominent part. Throughout the
remainder Of the picture, clever COM
edy and dramatic suspense are de-
lightfully blended and carried to an
unusual ending.
AS Johnny Hardwick, the juvenile
turfman, Mr. MacLean is said to give
a performance which surpasses his
Sergeant Grey" in "231a Hours
Leave" His vigorous personality and
clever comedy business" are the out
standing features Of the production.
Beatrice Burnham. Margaret Warren,
a winsome 'small town. girl, heads
an excellent supporting cast which
includes Margaret Livingston, Wade
Boetler, Charles Males and Molly
Mcconnell. 'The Home Stretch was
