Ohio Farmers May Burn

COLUMBUS Ohio, Sept 11.-Prices
which Ohio farmers will receive for
their products this fall will scarcely
compensate them for their toll and the
cost of production, according to ex-
pressions heard on every side among
farmers attending the state fair during
the past week Far from making it
possible for the farmers books to bal

that many agriculturists painted pic
lures of black despair.

dict that the stories of burning corn

RICHMOND

One OF the interesting events for
lovers of the photoplay of the season
is occurring at the Richmond theatre,
where James Oliver Curwood's latest
story of the Northland, 'Isobel, or
the Trails End" opened yesterday for
a run of several days. This film dra-
ma is a product of the directorial tax
ent Of Edwin Carewe, and is present
ed with a cast which features House
Peters and charming Jane Novak
OF all the Curwood stories, it has
been acknowledged that none has the
breadth and human appeals of his
famous novel, "Isobel," from which
this interesting epic of a Northland
romance was adapted. Those who
have read this volume will find that
this photoplay version adheres closely
to the lines of action and character
portrayal as laid down by the author.
Edwin Carewe, in fact, has been said
to have given photoplay fans their first
glimpse of Cudwood; in other words
he has retained the full power of the
authors sweeping character portray.

was struck by lightning. The farm
on which the burned buildings stood is
located about two miles southwest of
here and is tenanted by Stanley Hunt.
Oats, wheat, hay and a binder were
lost. Insurance partly covers the loss.

Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker,
the Fox stars, are consistent in their
success. Having scored three times
as co-stars, they opened Sunday at
the Murray theatre in THE Joft'' and
boosted the success total to four. They
first attracted serious attention in the
Fox production "Over the Hill"
THE Jolt" is an exceedingly enter
tanning story of a young war veteran,
Johnnie Stanton. who returns TO the
United States with French bride. I'm
able to obtain employment, he goes
back TO the criminal gang with which
he was formerly identified. They plan
a night burglary. In the midst of this
enterprise something happens to John
ME that changes the whole course of
his life.
Special note must be made here OF
the extreme naturalness of both young
stars. AS one reviewer in another
town remarked, Edna Murphy and
Johnnie Walker represent the new
styles in screen heroes and heroines. y
This is true. No posing for them, OF
looking pretty for the camera Miss
Murphy is a real girl and Mr.. Walker
is he-man, and they make their
characters live convincingly on the
screen.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE
It's truly remarkable to find a revue
in which some one isn't trying to spoil
it by an attempt at grand opera, or four
out of five Of the young ladies are no
longer young" yet that is just what
the Murray has headlinfng the bill
this first half of the week, and that
should be recommendation enough.
But for the benefit of the skeptics it
might be added that the act is beau
tifully presented and capably handled.
The revue Is billed as the La Petite
Ballet, and boasts the presence of five
charming young" dancers of ability.
Christy and Ray, 1.-TWO Southern
Gentlemen" are as neat a comedy
team as one seeks. For the absence
of slapstick maneuvers we are justly
grateful. The offering is one that has
no i'll reaction on the part of the au-
dience, rejecting a much deserved
credit to the two boys.
Freda Held leans just a little to-
ward the class called wicked" but
she doesn't mean any harm-even to
the drummer. Looking at it from this
standpoint one can settle back and
enjoy her vocal exhibitions in a tran
quill frame of mind Her double voice
demonstration is especially interest

Much applause is accorded the leila
Brothers for their rapid program of
aerial feats. The two also are excep-
tional contortionists, a fact which one
is not allowed to forget while the

!. C. C. CHANGES COAL
PRIORITY REGULATIONS
Increased Production of Soft Coal
Relieves Shipping Re-
strictions

Increased production Of bituminous
coal has enabled relaxation of the
priority restrictions ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
which have governed coal movements
during the strike emergency. The
commission today announced new
scheme of operation to insure spe-
cial supplies of coal to portions OF
the northwest served by the great
lakes water route. and to railroad
tion.
Modifying former<orders. the COM
mission assigned priority rights for
coal in two classes.
The first class. the order said. will
give prior rights TO the transporta-
ton Of coal intended for the north
west. and for certain pressing rail-
road needs, both of which are to be
served under specially designated
shipments under the authority of the
commission and its agents. The sec
ond class covers all common car
riers. public utility companies. hos
pitfalls, governmental and public in
stitutions and manufactures OF FOOD :
stuffs. medicines and containers of
foodstuffs and medicines and ship
pers of fuel for household use and
the heating of buildings.
Certificates from state fuel admin
istrators and fuel committees as to
the character of use for which Goa
is desired will hereafter be hel~

also announced, for carriers to ac-

That the senator, with the back
ing Of one of the most powerful po-

any state in the Union. was not able
to fulfill the promises made by him is
distinct reputation by the people
of California; for the democratic vote
of the state is strongly antagcnistic
to his well known national and in
ternational policies.
This body blow to the senator's po-
litical career will largely nullify HIS
opposition to administration policies
