PECULIAR SITUATION IN
EARLE WILLIAMS FEATURE

4 prologue quite naturally comes
first in a novel, a play or q picture
feature or 1t wouldn't be prologue
And it follows quite naturally that
this is. the authors first effort. But,
thru unusual circumstances, the pro-
logue for Captain Swift" the Earle
williams feature which will be
shown at the Elko theatre tonight
and Saturday were the final scenes
taken. Thus again is the first last.
The prologue in captain Swift
is laid in the bush country and hot
sands of Australia. The story prop
er has England for its locale. Mr..
Williams happened to be in New
York finishing up "The Fortune
Hunter" when captain Swift" was
selected as his succeeding feature,
and consequently the picture. so far
az possible, was made at the Brook
Ign studio and In and around New
York city. The weather had been
severe. There was several feet Of
snow on the ground when the time
came to "shoot" the prologue, and
warm weather scenes were quite I'M
possible, so the star went back to
Vitagraph's California studio and
the picture was completed there. Two
directors had a hand in making the
feature. Tom Terriss directed in the
east and Chester Bennett In the
west.

.P0LAND,S DEATH SOUGHT
BY TWO LARGE NATIONS
BY Lloyd Allen
Omitted Press Correspondent

\Oult0U IICoS WI ACoVVAASAS/
Warsaw. (By Mail.)-While the
Bolsheviks are massing red divisions
on Poland's Eastern frontier prepar-
ing another crushing military offen-
sive-the Germans on the East are
waging an economic offensive that
has devalueized Polish money. :
Poland is between two terrible
millstones, threatened with national
extinction. Without American and
European aid the country would long
since have ceased to exist. America
Is feeding. 100000 Polish children
every day; England is aiding Po-
lands political offensive against pow
erful enemies (mainly Russia and
Germany while France has provided
the military officials that are The
backbone of Poland's general staff.
This mighty coalition of Entente
and American forces is aimed at pre-
venting the humiliation Of POLAND
and the junction OF Germany ind
Russia. When the Polish block is
removed, the German-Russtan ccmbi-
nation, will shatter Europe's peace,
according to general belief.
Such a combination would form
the worlds great inland empire, Ger
many furnishing the munitions ano
organizing ,genius. while Russia
would contribute from her unlimited
man-power, totaling 189,000,000.
Such a condition could exist indeft-
uitely without q great naval feet.
German methods of undertaking
the Polish economic situation gre
very definite and efficient. Berlin
has made a drive against tho Polish
mark. Today the Polish mark is
worth $50 to the dollar. A year ago
the rate was 200 to the dollar. Right
now the mark is worth about ono
seventh Of a cent. when its official
value should be twenty cents.
Three schemes are being employed
in this desperate onslaught directed
from Berlin. First the Germans
charge Poland one third more fer
German coal than the same coal costs
in Germany. Scheme Two is direct
violation OF the peace treaty. Ger
many simply refuses to sell Poland
machinery and supplies for rebuild
ing Poland's greatest industry, the
textile mills, mainly located at LODI,
which were destroyed by the Germ
ans during the war.
The third method is purely finan-
cial. Polish marks boarded for more
than a year are being dumped at
bargain counter prices on the great
currency market of Zurich, Switzer-
land.
Meantime Warsaw is most chaotic:

CARE OF A ROOM
NEW CLUB STUNT

The care and furnishing Of single
room, preferably sleeping room, in
:he farm or village home, is a phase
If junior club work which will be TAX
en- up this year under the direction of
Margaret B. Baker, assistant club
leader with headquarters at Uni
versity farm.
This new work will not be a project
in itself, but will supplement the gar
Matchmaking work for girls who are
in the work the second year, Just as
cal,e-making supplements bread work.
Girl club members will be encouraged
to keep their room scrupulously neat
and clean and to beautify it with the
things which they can make.
The competition in cakenaking,
which will eliminate at the state fair
in September, will be between teams
rather than between individuals, IS
was the case last year. i
,. With the addition Of cake-'naking
and care of ones own room, the
bread-making- and garment-making
projects ought to be more popular
in 1921 than ever before. Twenty
thousand boys and girls have been en-
rolled in Minnesota bread making
clubs since the first organization sev-
en- years ago. In 1913, Minnesota
held fifth place among the states for
its homemade bread. In 1913 the
state had moved up to first place. The
United States department CT agricul-
ture and other organizations that
ought to know, attribute Minnesota
prestige in bread-makinz largely to
the general Interest created by boys
and girls clubs Of the state.
