She Meant Well.

To say the fitting thing in acknowl-
edgment of favor is something of a
tax ON the conversational powers Of
most people; when the recipient is un-
familiar with the conventional phrases
used or gets confused in using them,
comical situations occur, as in this in
stance reported in Harper's Magazine.
Two sisters of deceased cook called
to acknowledge the flowers sent
by the family. "We came 10 thank
you for those beautiful flowers that
you sent for sister," said the elder
woman; and then, with a little slut
ter, she added, land we hope soon TO
be able TO return the favor."-FrOm

Three Timber Counties of North
Eastern Iowa

Study of late census returns gives
some interesting data concerning To-
wa counties. Kossuth heads the list
In the number of acres of prairie
land that has never been plowed. 1t
is fenced but uncultivated. There
are 10000 acres of such land in that
county When it comes to timber
lands northeastern Iowa carries off
the honors. More native timber ex-
lists in Clayton, Allamakee and Win
neshiek counties, than in any other
three counties in the state. In ALA
makee county for instance, there re-
mains $4,000 acres out of a total
acreage of 411,274 acres, and in Win
neshiek county there remains 10000
acres of timber land, as compared
to a total acreage of approximately
$4,000 acres. And these counties
have tremendous amount of timber
land in proportion to cultivated land,
in comparison with the average farm
ing community.-Ex,

Hides Vary In Quality

Hides differ widely in quality and
desirability for making leather. There
are tanners of goatskins, for example,
who never during a period of years
have used skins except those coming
from India. Others tan skins from
Africa or South America. The leather
they produce is known by buyers and
they would not accept skins of diff
fGrent origin.

A REVIEW OF 1.-THE
MAN WHO LOST HIMSELF"
LAST TIME TODAY AT "B'

A new and welcome personality
to the screen was seen at the "B"
theater yesterday when William
Faversham made his debut under
the auspices Of Lewis J. Selznick
in 1.-THE Man Who Lost Himself"
a drama which, although based
upon a remarkable physical re-
semblance, nevertheless is both
logical and entertaining. Mr.. Fa-
versham has been ideally cast as
Victor Jones, the stranded Ameri-
can who impersonates a dlssolute
and deceased Englishman Of title,
and he acts with that reserve and
restraint that have made his stage
characterizations so popular with
the theater-going public of two
continents.
1t is such pictures as these that
will advance the art of the cine
ma with giant strides and add to
the ever growing clientele who are
selecting their screen entertain
ment with greater discrimination.
A pretty and unusual love story is
interviewer with the plot proper.
and Mr.. Faversham in these scenes
is as charming as he is dominating
in the more dramatic passages Of
the play.
Sumptuous settings and super
ative supporting cast combined
with an intelligent story excellent
ly directed make 1.-THE Man Who
Lost Himself" a more than usually
attractive screen entertainment.
The picture is being repeated for
the last time today at the "B."
