as the thousands who saw

ing the past week and yesterday

of human emotions as expressed
in the French revolution. Mr..

AS in several previous produc-

latest production for Ince, which

Ince's cast for Hail the

players as Florence Vidor. Theo-
dore Roberts, Tully Marshall,
Lloyd Hughes, Madge Bellamy,
Charles Meredith. Edward Mar

story deals with oliver Beresford,
a grim and bigoted New England
farmer whose uncompromising
creed, ''men and their sons
first" disposes harshly of wom'
ans destiny. Beresfords son,
David. studying for the ministry
at his fathers orders, secretly
marries the daughter of the vii,
lage odd Jobs man, who. true TO
a promise she has given her hus-
band, does not reveal the lesiti-
mate birth of her child even
when she is forced under pressure
from her husbands father to
leave town.
This injustice so rankles in the
breast Of Beresfords daughter
that she leaves home and goes to
New York, where she finds the
girl her brother married sunk TO
a life of shame through want and
poverty, and actually dying in
neglect. The Beresford daugh-
ter brings home the child to force
public recognition from her fam
lily of it's proper birth. She ar
rives home on the day her brother
is to he ordained a missionary. As
he stands before his congregation,
his sister confronts him with the
child, and, overcome with remorse.
he confesses his paternity and &C
knowledges the child as his son.
The production has been supple
mented by added screen and musi.
cal attra actions. including a brilliant
overture by the Palace Symphony
Orchestra, under the direction Of
Thomas Joseph Cannon.

would be hard to conceive a livelier
or more genuinely amusing
picture than "Penrod."
Neilan has knitted together the
most important incidents of
practically all OF the original Pen

ST. CROIX COUNTY AT THE
4 NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

st. Croix county was represented
at the National Dairy Show on Thurs
i day, Oct, IL, by a delegation of about
1000 dairymen and business men of
the county. The Pierce county dele
cation met at hudson at about the
same time as. the representatives
from the southern half of st. Croix
county. Both delegations went over
the Hudson bridge. together. This
caused considerable congestion at 7th
Street where traffic officers were sup
posed to meet each county. For some
unknown reason, the party was con-
siderably split up between 7th st. and
the Fair gorunds. However, every
one arrived at the Show and report
that no dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed by anyone relative to the
Show in general. 1t was highly in
structive in every detail.
Prizes Won by st. Croix Cattle
The st. Croix county Guernsey ex-
hibit at the National Dairy Show was
credit to the dairy industry Of the
county. Five prizes were Won by the
seven animals exhibited. The plac-
ings were. as follows: 4th on two
year old bull and 9th on bull calf,
awarded to HI. Corson e. Son OF
River Falls; 9th onfive year old GOV,
3rd on cow with advance registry re-
cord and 5th on Junior yearling heifer
awardedyto Lloyd Rundell9o f Roberts.
We wish further to state that A of
the first g cows in the aged COW class
had been raised in st. Croix county,
though three of them are now owned
by outside parties.
In reply to an article appearing IN
the Barran county News Shield, which
in part stated that BaTTan county has
better livestock than any other coun-
ty in this territory, swe wish to call
attention to the fact that at the Ma
tionaf Dairy Show, ST. Croix county
animals did fully as we'll as Barron
County animals. Further, we wish
again to call attention to the results
in the Guernsey classes at the recent
Chippewa Falls Fair, where Chippewa,
!, Dunn, Eau Claire, Barron and st.
Croix counties competed. Of the 16
firsts in the Guernsey classes, seven
were won by. st. Croix, five by Chip
pewa and four by, Barron. Of the "a
seconds awarded, st. Croix.. won z,
Barron 5, Chippewa l and Dunn l.

This doesGnot look as though Barron
had anything on st. Croix Guernseys.
At new Richmond a year ago, the on
Nv time that fair collection of Hol-
stems, from Barron and st. CroiX
counties ever met, Barron was, not
good enough to take even one second
in the female classes. This is further
proof of the livestock superiority of
st. Croix county. In swine and horse
exhibits he two counties have never
met so far as we know.
But st. Croix is not only superior
in show yard animals, she is also su-
perior in production records on dairy
cattle. We have four year'old Hol-
setffi COW with yearly record of 9S5
lbs. butter (7S8 lbs. of fat), a Guernsey
three year-old with 685 lbs. fat in
class D. D., and Jersey two year-cld
with 525 lbs. fat in the double letter
clas ). Barron county does not equal
these records.
I, People who are posted on the mat
ter, state that all breeds considered
st. Croix county has the best live
stock in Northern Wisconsin. Anoth-
er five years of progress equal to the
past five will find st. Croix county
still better.

One of the greatest benefits that
can come from school athletics is the
teaching of true craftsmanship. We
rate it even above the benefits OF
discipline, teamwork, the exercise OF
college sports Because tits feature
which can be made to include practl-
cally the entire student body. We are
reminded of this topic by the three
football games IN which the local high
school has engaged this. season. The
finest brand of sportsTnanship ever
seen on a Northwest gridiron was ex-
hibited at Saltwater when River Falls
won a re victory there three weeks
ago. Very mtt.h the same brand Of
craftsmanship was exhibited here the
following Saturday when River Falls
won by the same score. New Rich
nnond held the lead until the very
close of the game, but though fiercely
contesting every inch, there was no
dirty" play nor rowdy remarks from
the sidelines. At Menomonie last
Saturday the home fans howled and
ieered at every play and inspired
their team to use any tactics, fair or
foul, which might bring victory-a
River Falls player was actually Sc
verely bitten by onetof the Menomo-
ME. players-and it is said that the
naad-dog act was even the subject of
boast after the game. Where such an
exhibition is common the school had
better apply drastic remedies at once
and if the mentors are unable to con-
troll the student body at all, athletics
should be abandoned. The influence
of poor craftsmanship is far more to
be deplored than defeat on the grid
iron.
