Goose? Also please give me your
opinion Of Elaine Hammerstein and
Niles Welch.'
Give always rather liked Elaine
iiammerstein and wondered just why
she didn't get across more with the
fans. Niles Wclch, too.
That fine actor in Evidence was
Holmes Herbert. You are correct--he
was in '"The Wild Goose and had
a very creditable stage career in Eng
land before he entered pictures.

er Of Zenda, and I enjoyed It. Alice
Terry and Barbara La Marr fitted
in their parts exactly, but. why was
Lewis stone chosen for the part of the
King?
Wanda Hawley used to be favorite
Of mine. but now she seems to fade
away. In Burning Sands she was not
good. II 1t were not for Milton Sills
and .Iacqucline Logan. the picture
would not have been good nt all.
isn't Jacqueline Logan the image
Of May McAvoy? She will put herself
into my list of favoritcs IL she does
some good acting. Please give inc list
Of her forthcoming features.
"W ho plays opposite Pearl White In

of the story and please answer this
question If possible Who. do you think
is the prettlest male and female Of the

G wouldn't say JacquclIne Logan
was the image of May McAvoy
Perhaps you're thinking Of those Irish
eyes OF both Of them. Jacqueline has
an important part in "Java Head"
Warren Krcch plays opposite Pearl
White in her new serial "Plunder." :"
You don't know what you're asking
understand the first episode is called
"The Bandaged Man" OF course. there
are hidden passages, caves, treasure,
and even n baboon, I believe
beg to be excused from that "pret-
test man" contest. But for the
women, I'd say Katherine Macdonald
is the "prctticst," but that doesn't
mean I think she's really charming.)

His Chance Came.

As the years roll by, each remem-
bers some certain piece Of fnforma-
tion culled from the autocratic reader
Of school days.
One man remembered the family
name Of the king Of England. For ten
years he waited for some one to ask
him for this information. Time and
again he had the opportunity Of vol
unteering the information, but he with
held 1t. He wished some one to- ask
him. so he could very casually reply.
And then one day his big chance
came.
Can any one tell me the family
name of the king Of England7" some
one asked.
II can" proudly answered the man
with the knowledge. 1T is Guelph"
'How did you happen to know
that" he was asked.
"Just ask me anything, old top
just ask me anything. I'm obligin'. Tf
answer you any time" And ne got
away with 1t.

A bill introduced by Senator Borah
providing for the creation of a coal
commission to investigate the coal
mining industry, offers possible So
luton of present and future
problems. 1t has long been known
that one of the chief causes of high
coal prices and unsettled labor con-
ditions in the coal fields is the opera
tion of too many mines, some pro-
ducing coal more cheaply than
others, but keeping prices at level
sufficient to afford a handsome profit
to the operators of the lean mines,
while the fat mines turn out eXces
sive profits. Short time for labor
also results, with consequent demand
for high wages to make up for lost
time. If the proposed commission
can suggest a remedy for these con-
ditions, it will serve the public we'll.
Consolidation of the mines into rev
groups, under private ownership but
government control, has been sug-
gested. 1t is to be hoped that gov
eminent ownership of the mines can
be avoided.

ing. Some hens in every flock are
always poorer layers than others,
and it is the poor layers that quit
during early summer, shed their
feathers and remain idle, while the
good hen continues to lay until late
fall. These idle hens are culls. and
should be eliminated at once.
~Culling poultry Is not difficult.
Any person can learn to tell poor
hen from good one with very little
study. The whole principle is based
on the fact that when a hen lays Ger
tain changes take place In the ex-
ternal characters of her body. The
longer and more intense the laying
the greater the changes.
1t is to give the poultry-raisers in
struction in, these points that the
demonstrations are being held. And
then the week of Sept. 11-16 will be
a sad one for the slackers.

KURT BY uNREQuITED LOVE
Sterner Sex Said to Feel Most Keen.
Iy Disappointment Over Affairs
of the Heart.

when an engagement Is broken
off," said my friend the other night
according to London Answers writ
er, ut is the man who feels the blow
more than the girl"
l was about to disagree with him,
but upon thinking the matter over
had to confess that 1t was so.
Often and often you read in the
newspapers: "The girl was engaged
to ran off with another man, and then
l didn't seem to care what became of
mel started drinking. l took to
gambling" etc, etc. The speaker be-
ing, Of course, man.
Why is 1t? 1t seems curious, be-
cause 1t is the popular belief that a
mans greatest power Of loving can
not compare with a woman's. Man
has his business, his sports, and other
attractions, but woman's principal OBJ.
ject in life Is ITO love and be loved"
And yet man, so much stronger
than woman In other things, does not
seem able to bear the strain of dis
appointed love" 1t drives him mad;
he tries to drown his senses, or stife
his memory, and in doing 1t sinks
lower and lower in his own and other
peoples estimation.
OF course, nearly every "old maid"
has had her love story. Probably In
silence she nurses the pain caused by
mans disloyalty, but her grief has
never-or very rarely-overwhelmed
her; she has never lost control Of her.
self, as the rejected men appear to do.
MANY man will tell you he owes
much of his success in life to the in
spiration given to him by his wife.
Nevertheless, although that proves that
she has helped him, 1t does not prove
that she changed his nature. Probably
the woman was inspired by love just
as much as he was.
Does man generally bear pain with
less fortitude than woman? There
are many people who are ready to
agree with this statement. And yet,
on the whole, could women have stood
what so many men went through In
the dreadful years Of the war?
There Is one theory well worth con-
sidering. Man, from childhood, grows
up in the belief that he Is Of the
stronger sex.
When he meets the girl he loves,
she becomes his to provide for and
protect. If the girl is taken away,
he just "chucks everything"

ELLSWORTH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Supt. H. e. Henry.J

AS the time for the opening of the
schools is rapidly approaching, l am
reminded of several things. that are
of Importance to the public. Among
them the practice which has been in
vogue for some time of initiating
newcomers at school. Last year both
the superintendent and the high
school principal were new men, and
knew nothing of this objectional
practice, and consequently could not
occurred. The high school students
are not the only ones who have been
guilty of the rough practices men
toned, for young children have been
thrown down the embankment at the
School street school, suffering consid
cradle injury.
This year we expect to have better
supervision of the Fairgrounds, and
il the parents will cooperate with
the teachers in discouraging miscon-
duct, of which we have received so
much complaint in the past, there is
every reason to believe that there
will be no cause for complaint this
year
The old saying that at pays to adj

the same manner.
