THE PEOPLE AND THE MOVIES

1t is interesting to note how differ
ent communities are affected by the
Arbuckle incident.
In some towns Arbuckle films are
being thrown out by the management,
purely leagues are demanding can
collation. of Arbuckle bookings, and in
one place we notice that some of the
most tender sensibilities of the dear
people were so badly shocked that
they pulled their guns and shot up
the screen. In another class of towns
the managers consider the Arbuckle
scrape good advertising, and are play
ing his pictures to crowded houses.
Of course local environment has
much to do with the matter, and
"who's who in a town, will set the
fashion, but in any event the scandal
is nothing to get hysterical about.
Cancel Arbuckle pictures or play them
as desired, but do not let the tragedy
that has entered the favorite's life
affect the picture industry generally.
1t is a very healthy and a very neces-
sary infant industry, that is a good
thing for the people both from the
view point of amusement, and a means
of broadening ones view of life, that
could not be so generally accomplished
in any other known way. The movie
is an institution that should not be
injured by individual mistakes like
the one in discussion.
The general tone Of most pictures
must be and will be improved; the
taste of the public for better and more
artistic stories must be cultivated and
the result will be that the. movies will
be a great uplifting influence, which
will ennoble rather than degrade hu-
mainly.
No one has ever claimed that much
of a mind was necessary as a part of
the equipment of a movie star. Take
then a person Or ordinary intelligence,
and powers of resistance, and keep
that person constantly in contact with
mimic life that is nasty, and the re-
suit, that has caused suicides, drunk
ards, dope fiends, and later, death and
disgrace, among the ranks of these
people, is not at all unnatural.
BY elevating the character of work
these people are asked to do for the
public, we automatically improve the
moral of the whole force of movie &C
tors.
Instead of making the Arbuckle
tragedy a cause for boycoting pic
lures, should we not make it a a
on to do what is in our power "to
elevate the the movie stage"
The public should refuse to patron
ize the houses that show pictures of
near obscene plays and of human
freaks doing unnatural and inhuman
stunts.
The people who pay the money at
the door are the people whose opinion
will be needed. The faults with the
movies is primarily with the people
who attend the. shows----

Hugging and Driving.

Hartford, Conn.-Motorists who hug

not ry the exercise in Connecticut if
they would avoid danger Of arrest. An
order from the state motor vehicle
commissioner puts a ban on the prac-

drivers and on one-arm driving.
The chief inspector already has
caused the conviction in the Berlin
town court of Henry Greenburg of
Hartford, arrested while driving with
a woman in his lap. The inspector
says that one-armed persons can not
get drivers licenses; persons with two
arms are expected to use them for the
safety of themselves and the public.

NEW FIELD OF REFORM

In an era when all kinds of uplift
and reform institutions are lifting the
fallen and more or less depraved by
means of state appropriations, moth
ing has been done for shoplifters. Why
not treat this form of petty criminal
mania as other crimes are being treat
ed, as a kind of disease of the fingers.
Some people are born and reared so
that their hands cannot keep off
tempting things put on such wonder
full display in department stores that
they are melted to steal? A survey
should be ordered by the legislatures
and perhaps the discovery could be
made that on top of one of ten being
feeble-minddd, one out of ten may be
light-fingered and have uncomfortable
digits.

VALLEY COUNTY FARMERS
KNOW -.

The official bulletin of the Montana
Development association devotes much
space to a very worthy purpose, viz:
the explanation of the value of sum-
mer following to Montana. The asso-
citation is doing all in it's power to
convince all classes Of people that
summer following should be the
eleventh commandment to the Montana
farmer, and one which should be re-
ligiously kept from year to year.
The value of this ann of tilling
the soil has been demonstrated to a
mathematical certainty in Valley
county, and that demonstration
brought home to the people in a way
that was thoroughly convincing. Many
seed loans were made to farmers who
were burned out last year, who used
the money to purchase the seed they
used this year from their neighbors,
who were not burned out. This fact
caused investigation, and the investi-
cation showed that the men who had
seed to sell, were, the ones who had
summer fallowed their land. AS a
consequence there has been more sum-
mer following this year than ever be-
fore.
The demonstration of, the value of
summer following has been so satisfy
ing, that at least one Valley county
bank has refused credit to farmers
who do not farm in that way. The
sentiment to encourage summer fall
having is general and it, will Don be
the universal custom in this county.

that the results noted above were from
the movement initiated some few sea.

STATE R0AD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway Inn
provement Made by Kentucky
rs Years Ago..

1t is often said that the use of state
money for the construction of roads
is of quite recent origin, says bulle-
tin from the American Highway aSso-
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law of 1901 is sometimes referred to
as the first instance Of such use of
state funds in this country. AS a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than 70 years
ago. Kentucky paid out over $1,000
900 for road improvements between
1920 and 1910 under the direction of a
state highway engineer, who drew a
salary of $4,000 year, very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "A to 30
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed Of broken
stone, and the bottoms were of large
stones wedged together to make what
road builders call a telfOrd foundation.
About 1850 business conditions in the
country became bad and this work
stopped When it was resumed in
1908 such a long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work that
1908 is usually fixed as the beginning
of state road work in Kentucky.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds,
general-purpose breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very ac-
tive, quick to mature, producers OF
white -shelled eggs, usually nonsitters
or at best but poor sitters, and rather

of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The varieties of Leghorns
and Minorcas are good representatives
of this class. Because they are poor

Jew other fowls. should be kept if nat
ural methods of incubation are to be
employed On account of their early
maturity it is not uncommon for ind
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age Of four and one-halt
months These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active breeds
and are rather sensitive to low TEN
perature because of their large combs
and WattleS.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large roasters.
They are slow and somewhat sluggish
in movement, have little desire for
foraging, are easily confined by low
fences, rather slow to mature, persist
ent sitters, and rather Indifferent lay
ers of brown-shelled eggs. Many poul
trymen, however, are getting very fair
egg yields from them. The Brahmas
Langshans and Cochins may be men
toned as belonging to this class.
The general purpose breeds include
fowls which are of fair size and which
will also produce good quantity OF
brown-shelled eggs, making them es
pecially adapted to the person wish
ing a supply of both eggs and meat.

that the multiplicity of taxes, city,

make sufficient profit to meet them
and leave the requisite capital for
operating his business.
There is hope that federal taxa
