CULTIVATION
OF .ADLAY IS
UNDERTAKEN

Manila P. l., April 5.-(Delayed)
The cultivation of adlay (coix
lacryma jobi) with the view to its
utilization a 4 good grain, has been
undertaken by the bureau Of agricul-
ture and natural resources Of the Phil
ippine Islands. The grain. which is
not unlike q wheat kernel, grows Wild
in the Philippines. and other tropical
countries and has been chiefly used
laces 4nd for ornAmentfng picture
frames, although the inhabitants of
Southern China are said to use the
grain for food in small quantities.
The bureau Of agriculture has for
some time been engaged in develop
Ing the production of adlay at its ex-
detrimental stations in various parts
OF the islands and is nov able to an
nounce that the grain may be grown
in such quantities as to form a valua-
Bile food product. The average yield,
the bureau says. is between 1900 and
5000 pounds to the acre and the plant
can be grown successfully, without
irrigation.
In a statement on the preparation
OF adlay for food, the bureau Of agri-
culture says: "
A to the use of adlay for human
food. more particularly as a wheat
substitute, We have found that when
shulled. it cooks UP like rice and can
be 30 eaten; cracked, it makes an ex-
cellent breakfast cereal; the meal
mixed with two parts adlay and one
part wheat flour. *bakes into light bis
cults fully equal to graham biscuits.
1T is worthy of note that flour i'm
ports into the Philippines are stead
lily increasing showing that the Fill
pino is gradually changing his food
habits and is beginning to eat wheat
instead Of rice. It is believed that
adlAy. merits serious attention as a
grain crop in the Philippines. With
a greater protein and fat content than
either rice or corn it is a more com
plete human food than either of these
grains"

OF FORESTS E
BEINCPLANNED
Proposals For Keeping For,

tenplated.

Chicago. May 23.-Far-reaching
plans to re-grow the forests are un-
der consideration by the Central
States Forestry league according to
David L Goodwillie, president Of the
league, in q statement calling atten-
ton to this week, set aside by Presi-
dent Harding as Forestry week. The
lie. lis Of such great size and impor-
ance to the central states that we
have simply had to go at the mstter
fundamentally and along broad. eon-
s%tructive lines. We propose now a
widespread campaign of education
through the eight states Of Illinois.
Iowa. Missouri. Indiana, Ohio. Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which
comprise the Central Forestry league.
In these states are yer SO million
acres Of cut-over timberlands. unused
and unproductve. They are a terri
BILE burden upon uz In these times Of
heavy taxes, and the worst is their
area is increasing instead Of diminish
ing.
"At the same time the great wood
using Industries Of the country which
largely center in these states are hav-
ing to 60 farther and farther for their
go to the Pacific coast. 1t comes home
to us in increased prices due to the
necessarily increased freight rates.
Every house we build, every piece of
furniture. every Newspaper and every
book We buy, costs more. a great deal
mere. because of this condition.
I'm organizing the Central States
Forestry league we have endeavored
to roe this problem in its true proper
tions and to realize the big. earnest
effort that must be put forth by the
states and by the people to get trees
growing back on the lands where
they belong. We want a great wave
Of enthusiasm for tree planting.
The problem has many phases.
Roadside tree planting is one. We
strongly endorse the planting of
roadside memorial trees. The.farm-
er's wood lot Is another phase of>the
question. The greatest stretches of
devastated timberlands is another and
the largest of all. We have in Illinois
over three million acres of timber
lands much Of which is fire damaged
and in very bad condition"
Ono Of the objects of the league is
to concentrate the energies Of the
pubic in 4 determined movement
through sound legislation and other
wtSe to prevent forest fires in standing
timber.

PASSION
Famous Super-Drama Comes TO the
Strand Next Week.

The widely heralded super-drama
Passion" starring the famous Con-
tinental actress, Pola Negri, will be
at the Strand theatre May II and -.
II is claimed for this production that
it marks a new milestone in the up
ward and forward progress of the
photoplay art and il has aroused con-
siderable interest on the score that 1t
offers some technical projections
long sought by producers the world
over.
The story concerns the rise of
little French milliner to a place of
so much power that she rules a king
and through him a nation. AS viewed
by envious eyes, this remarkable
little woman was merely a heartless
creature bent on gratifying her
whims of the moment. Her influr
ence over the king was described in
ribald language as a thing of shame,
but as is revealed in the course of
stirring events this notable figure
was not without her virtues, although
she is frankly burdened with a pro-
clivity for many follies. The con-
sensus of opinion among those who
have seen this picture is that the
former mjlliner held the heart of
the king captive not by coarseness
and debauchery, but by her youth,
her beauty, her simple spirit and the
natural gayety Of young and grac-
ious girl. And her attitude in de-
serting her sweetheart of lowly days
is not wholly devoid of redeeming
qualities since she consistently and
persistently befriended him, with
more than a degree of mere friend
ship, throughout her career as a pow
er behind the throne. She was wilful,
capricious and spoiled, but there is a
great doubt as 10 whether or not
she could be described as the deprav-
ed monster in skirts such as her enc
mics branded her. And, speaking Of
her enemies, they finally grew to
numbers including (the whole popu-
lace of her native country and the
result was a revolution in which she
was the main and central target. Her
position becomes pathetic and ultra
dramatic because of the fact that her
one powerful friend died just before
the wrath of the people manifested
itself in a startling manner Of revolt.
The fall of this extraordinary char
acter is quite as expressing as her
rise had been and her prayer for
one more moment of life when she is
doomed comes as most striking eli
max.

{ VISITED ALMA
All Stars Play Fine for Six In
nings But Then Things
" Did Change.

Several hundred people were at
Republic field Sunday to see the ex-
hibition game staged by the Briscoes
of Jackson, who won over an all star
cast, which was plugged consider
ably with Jackson players, by score
Of 10 TO 3.
During the first six innings the
contest looked like real ball game,
with Standish, hurting for the All
Stars, keeping the Briscoes at bay.
The score was tied at 3 all at the
end of the sixth, two errors in the
second with one hit yielding two of
the three runs taken by the Jackson
ties.
II. Olmstead went to the box
in the seventh. when Standish
complained of sore arm and he re-
NAMED just long enough to pitch to
one man who damned out a long
single. "Chief" hewitt then took up
the box work and when the smoke
cleared away the Briscoes had count
ed four runs. LeCronier of the Mt.
Pleasant Normal was rushed to the
pitching box in the eighth and got
through that inning in good shape,
but in the ninth was pounded for
three runs. In the seventh, Hager-
man, who succeeded Collamore the
previous inning, was taken for three
straight hits, including two doubles,
which counted two more runs for the
All Stars.
The crowd enjoyed the first six
innings of the contest hugely, the

ALPHA THETA PLAY

Instead of giving one play as has
been done in former years, the Alpha
Theta Literary Society this year pre-
sents "The Travelling Man" by Lady
Gregory and Lucinda ABB by Mrs.
Hardy Brown.
These two one-act dramas are both
full of keen interest and their very
difference makes for variety and
contrast. "The Travelling Man" is
pathetic story or an Irish woman
who failed to recognize the king of
the world when she was most expect
ing him. Lady Gregory, the creator
of this morality-play, needs no intro
duction to true drama-lovers. Gu
cinda A. b." written in an opposite
mood, is full of humor and quaint
ness. Lucinda with her college di-
ploma is making her first attempt
in the business world, and her ex-
periences are well presented in the
play.

ed the elimination of four years ef-
fort by Mr.. Kirby and the Board of
Commerce to induce Mr.. Ruggles to
come to Saginaw. A year ago Mr.,
Ruggles bought the s0-acre Burrows
farm on State street, just beyond the
Pere Marquette belt line tracks, with
the possibility in view of erecting q
plant there, but when the chance OF
obtaining the shipyard appeared this
seemed a much more favorable OPP
portunity.
al always have felt that it would
be a wonderful thing for Saginaw
if we would get Mr.. Ruggles to
come here said Mr.. Kirby. Now
we have the men who built the Re-
public; and they can build another
successful truck. Furthermore, il
will keep a going concern in the
shipyard.'
"The career of Frank W. Ruggles
has been closely identified with that
of the motor truck in America. In
1913 he was a workman in a gas en-
CINE factory at Alma. He had
watched the development and rapid
expansion of passenger car manu-
facture and believed, that similar
growth must follow in commercial
motor vehicles.
"He built his first truck with his
own hands in the rear Of the gas en-.
CINE factory. With meager capita
and the support of few men who
believed in the soundness of his
judgment, Mr. Ruggles organized 6
company to manufacture his new
truck on commercial scale, and by
July /, 1913, the enterprise was es.
tablished. Ten trucks a month were
made and sold during the first Sin
months in the face Of numerous OBJ
stacles. By that time the demand
for the product was growing anC
the output was increased to bring
the first years total up to 219. Sales
continued to grow rapidly, and b!
the end of the seventh year a tota
Of 81 sos trucks had been made, anC
the company was known as one o.
the largest exclusive truck plants il
