BUGS CAUSE DAMAGE
TO MARSHALL'S GARDEN

Henry Marshall, who operates a
good size truck farm east of Minot,
brot to the Independent office jar
Of little grayish bugs that are playing
havoc with his radishes, turnips and
certain flowers. This is the first time
these bugs have proved q menace and
he is somewhat worried for they
cleaned out a patch of radishes that
represented about $4,000 in day. He
killed one batch of the bugs with Paris
Green, but more were back the follow
ing day. Each plant was covered
with them and they ate the tops off
close to the ground. The bugs when
crushed give forth a fearful odor.
They are about the size of buffalo
gnats. Mr.. Marshall found many of
them on the wheat field of his neigh
Dor, Hi Better, but they had done lit
tie damage to the wheat yet. Mr..
Marshall is anxious to know the name
of these little pests. He has invented
a name for them but it probably does
not correspond to-the true ''bugologi-
cal" term.

LIFE TERN URGED

Frazier Asked to Advocate Amend.
ment Setting Sitter Peaalties

Bismarck, N. D., June 11.-Gover-
nor Lynn J. Frazier is urged to advo-
cate an amendment to North Dakota
penal codes making bank burglary
and holdups punishable by life i'm
prisonment, and residence burglary
punishable by a 25-year minimum
sentence, in a letter recently sent to
him from VIM. B. Joyce, president Of
the National Surety company of New
York city. Mr.. Joyce says bank hold
ups will continue just so long as our
penal statutes encourage criminals to
operate by giving them only COM
paratively trifling punishments.
The letter follows:
GAS governor Of great state, it is
proper that you should be informed
that burglaries and holdups cost the
national and state banks Of the United
States officially estimated, more than
81 100000 last year, and seem certain
to cost all financial institutions more
and more very year in future unless

'In view Of this grave criminal sit
uation, l respectfully urge you to
advocate an amendment to the penal
code Of your state furnishing bank
burglary and bank holdup by life i'm
prisonment and residence burglary
by 25-year minimum sentence.
IAN expression of interest from
you will have great weight. Only by
drastic and prompt remedies can the
present serious constant increase in
these crimes be effectively curbed.

Banks in the central west were
particularly heavy sufferers. The
spread of these crimes in your and
other states can be prevented by leg

"Many Of these crimes were effect

human suffering and human life. BY
example and suggestion, such acts
undermine and imperil our nations
hnoesty and morality.
ut is serious error to attribute
these crimes merely to the World

will continue permanent expression
Of the criminal element in every COM

Comfy Independent and its patrons.
Mr.. Humphreys has been operating
his plant in connection with the Inde-

complete success of his business. He
has been of much assistance to the
Ward County Independent and this
institution extends to him q vote of
sincerest thanks for assisting us to
build up one of the largest and best
Newspaper and job plants in the
Northwest.
The Independent regrets very much
that Mr.. Humphrey decided that it
was to his best interests to give up
his business. He became i'll several
months ago from lead poisoning, a
disease which printers sometimes con-
tract and one which requires months
from which to recover. 1t is always
necessary for victim of lead poison

of lead dust until recovery is COM

sure Mr.. Humphreys friends that he
has already improved much and his
complete recovery is but matter of

ETHEL CLAYTON IN
 WEALTH COMES ID
 THE STRAND FRIDAY

Those who were fortunate enough to witness the performance of Ethel Clayton in Sham" during her re- cent engagement at the Rialto will be delighted to learn that this same star is scheduled for a two days en- gagement at the Strand Friday and Saturday, in another of her delight fully successful society stories. This time is it Paramount's presentation of "Wealth.'
 The atmosphere is of present day New York, and shift gracefully from the Greenwich village to the up- town mansions of the metropolis, blending the bohemianism sof the former with the veneer and sham of the latter, and draws most con- vincing contrasts between the real of life and the shalIowness of par tism. It gives Ethel Clayton most excellent role, which she handles in her usual invincible manner.
 The story is of struggling girl artist of the Greenwich Village who marries man cursed with too much wealth-and of the awakening with their marriage from the dream which led her to believe that her struggles would end with the coming of wealth, to realize that she was far better off as the little artist, obscure, unknown and struggling than as the wife of a man of ease, honized. wined, dined and feted. William D. Taylor who handled the directing end of sham was again at the helm during the filming of wealth. and with his usual thoroughness he presents a perfectly finished, perfectly balanced motion picture triumph.
 Supporting the star will be found | Herbert Rawlinson, J. M Dumont | Lawrence Steers, Claire Mcdowell Jean Aclxer and Richard Wayne. Ii boasts of many staggering sets in the beauty of it's appointment and in the massiveness of it's investiture, ant is accurate to the furthest degree 1T the matter of atmosphere and envir- onment. Wealth" is another score for Ethel Clayton, William D. Tay-
 Tor and Paramount-the invinciblt trio responsible for so many of tht screen success of the past season.

Its heart-reaching invocation be- comes more and more pronounced as the film gets under way-not through any well defined plot or strong dra- matic tension, but rather through the sheer force of its all absorbing and utterly expressing human note struck in each scene.
 Rupert Hughes has accomplished a really wonderful thing in construct ing a story that does not depend on plot, nor even action nor situations for its powerful appeal. and yet there has never reached the silent drama production radiating more soul stirring or heart gripping influence than "The Old Nest"
 And this is readily accounted for when one stops to consider the theme-home-the dearest place on earth-the most sacred-and around which the most tender memories are stored away in every human heart
 One sees childhood pass as natur- ally as if he were watching the un- folding of his own life. He sees the little childish cares and worries-and the running to mother-dear kind soul who was ever ready to consile and comfort. One watches the many little incidents-possibly long for gotten in the rush of time-and yet coming back in fancy's, eye as plainly as if they were happening but yes terday-the little pleasures and pastimes-the sport of youth-the romances and ambitions-the little hconfidences exchanged between mother and child-and watches with the keen delight of anticipation the careers of every member of the household-as mother faithfully. lovingly. tirelessly works, plans. struggles that the happiness of the children might be insured-sacrific-

 THEATER |S ID OPEN
 ON SUNDAY, SEPT. 18

The new theatrical season opens at the Elks theater next Sunday, Sep tember IS. The new company which will usher in what is destined to be a most successful theatrical year, is undoubtedly the best collection Of stock players that Phoenix has ever been favored with. It will be known as the Baiubridge- Karns stock com pany, the leaders being already well and favorably known to local theater goers. Roscoe Karns was the leading man with Ed Redmond during Red- mond's most successful days in Phoenix and he will play the leads with the new organization. Sher- man Bainbridge was the actor manager with the Henry B. WalthaH company that played Phoenix the latter part of last season. The bal ance of the company is equally high class and composed of such talented players as Hugh Metcalf, Arthur Rutledge, Jack Connolly, James Cor rigan, Maud Truax, /Cleora Orden and Miss Ruth Seville for the principal feminine roles. Miss Seville is young. personally very attractive, and accomplished She just recently finished her engagement as leading woman at Ye Liberty theater in Oakland.
 It is not alone, however, in the personnel of the company that the new organization will excel, for it will be the endeavor to present only the very latest and best New York releases and each play mounted with a complete scenic, electrical and cos tune equipment. The opening play will be Turn to the Right" a ''close to the heart play" and perhaps the greatest American comedy drama ever written. It was written by John E. Hazard and Winchell Smith and produced by John Golden, the pro- ducer of 'Lightnin' !" and "Three Wise, Fools" Turn to the Right enjoyed the longest run of any play ever produced on Broadway with the exception of "Lightnin' and will be given by the stock company with exactly the same production as was used for the New York production and the road tour. The plays to fol low Turn to the Right" will be "The Naughty Wife, "Smilin' Through and '"The High Cost of Loving"

 Around this unusual quartette of characters. Louis B. Stahl has writ ten as strong a story as has yet been filled, treating it with an accuracy and sureness that is positively allur- ing.
 His climaxes are carefully wrought. and exceedingly well calculated. His every scene carries a powerful "punch"-and the denouement is something that will quickly recall "The Miracle Man" in the matter of strength, force and power.
 Dramatically the production is per fect-scenically it is a gem, and from thes standpoint of photography and direction it is absolutely flawless. Ii is human and inspiring. and pro- duction that is bound to create post profound impression with eY- eryone who sees it.

 TIE STRAND MONDAY

The Strand will present for three days engagement starting to- morrow, a production which is at one of the most powerful, one of the most convincing, one of the most beautiful, and one of the most in spring to reach this city in months.
 It is First Nationals presentation of Louis B. Stdh's master drama "The Woman In His House."
 The story presents in staggering form the question-"what is a wife" -is she a helpmate-is she a bless ing to be loved and cherished as the husbands most sacred possessions or is she simply the woman in his house."
 Digging down into the heart of. man and the soul of woman, Louis B. Stahl has written a drama which the Washington Post unhesitatingly stamps it as more powerful. more convincing and even more compell- ing than The Miracle Man." a tri- bute which means that it may be easily classed as one of the outstand- ing screen successes of the year.

To usher in what wifi undoubtedly prove the most brilliant picture event of the season thus far, the Rialto announces the start today of the en- gagement of Goldwyn's sublime mas terpiece-"The Old Nest"-adapted from Rupert Hughes intimately hu- man story of the same name, con- ceded the greatest narrative of the American home ever written.
 ''The Old Nest" is more a slice of real life than a motion picture, so wonderfully accurately has Hughes written the theme and so mag nificently perfectly has the story taken animation under the skillful handling of Reginald Barkers whose genius is stamped on every foot of the feature.
 Its appeal is universal-no one can escape its influence-young or old humanity thrills under the influence of home-and it is of home that Hughes has so wonderfully written.
