Katrina was a delicious
 little flirt

The story is one replete with human interest. The witchcraft and legend ary beliefs of the simple folk of that time have given the story an atInos- phere of mystery. The love interest is one of the most entertaining bits found in film plots. Ichabod Crane, the young pedagogue from Connecti- cut, no sooner saw the beautiful Katrinka Van Tassel than he was smitten with her charms
 Nearly every man, woman and child in England and America is acquainted with the love affair of Ichabod Crane, so there is little need of repeating the story, but the unusual entertaining qualities of this legend caused me i'm mediately to secure the film rights for public consumption. I spent one year in research work and dramatiz- ing the story in continuity form in Washington Irving's work could be retained in the film. After I had fully satisfied myself that this had been accomplished, I began casting about for players who could both look and act like the original Dutch settlers along the Hudson.
 Realizing the difficulty in getting 8 character that could depict the pecu- liarities of the Yankee school teacher, Ichabod Crane, the most unique per sonage in all fiction, I planned that no expense would be spared nor a stone left unturned until this i'm portant character had been satisfac- torily filled. It wasn't long before I found just the man to enact this role. Who is there-and there are legions- who have read and re-read, told and re-told, this fascinating legend, who could select a better star than the droll and picturesque Win Rogers to portray the inimitahle character of Ichahod Crane Will Rogers, in my estimation, presents the very spirit of Ichabod. His interpretation is as near perfect as any character could be

Ben Hendricks, Jr., plays the athletic ''Brom" Bones, Ichabod's Nemesis, and the man who holds the key to the mystery surrounding the Headless TIorsenan. Many of the less inn portant members of the cast I select ed from actual descendants of the families who lived at the time of this famous legend
 In order to make this production historically authentic I secured per mission to film all scenes in the drowsy valleys of tho Hudson River in the story's original lncatinnz in

tempting the intricate arts of propos- ing marriage to Katrina, the local heiress- I think the millions who are familiar with this short story master piece will easily follow my train of thought and see clearly the e1cep- tional comedy that a character like Will Rogers can extract from this role.
 For the part of Katrina ' an Tassel l selected Lois Meredith. In my esti nation she is particularly pleasing and graceful in the role of the coquet- tish Belle of SleeuY Hollow who will

Just picture to yourself the New England Schoolmaster, played by Will Rogers, teaching his pupils the fundamental principle of psalmody. How his position as master gives him every advantage for carrying on a lively, not to say comical, Irritation with Katrina, one of his pupils, while the physically strong and handsome "Brom" Bones eats his heart out with jealousy as he views the whole per formance through the window?

Sleepy Hollow near Tarrytown, N. Y, where the legend of the Headless Horseman had it's locale.
 The one thing that impressed me most when I was in search of a real American classic for film presentation was the romantic story surrounding the courtship of Ichabod Crane. Also, realizing only too well the value of action and thrills in motion pictures, l took exceptional advantage of Icha- bod's fear of the supernatural and the ghostly appearances of the Head less Horseman to inject the highest element of mystery and action into the story.
 You remember when you first read the story7 How the midnight wan derings of the HeadleSs Horseman sent shivers down your back, caused your heart to beat faster and the breath to come quicker? It certainly was exciting and agree with you on that point. Consequently I made the most of this, and think you will find the wild ride over hill and valley at midnight in which the hapless Ichabod barely escapes being captured by the

PROPOSES KAIBAB
FOREST Be MADE A
BIG NATIONAL PARK

In the Saturday Evening Post of
last week Emerson Hough has lead
ing editorial, "The Presidents For
est" suggesting a change of name
for that vast unbrolen forest lying
north Of the Grand Canyon. now
called the Kaibab forest, and the
dedication of it to the purposes of
national park and a game preserve.
In the same issue of the Post appears
letter from f. ]. Marshall, the head
of a cattle company now enjoying
leasing rights in the forest, stating
that his company will surrender them,
along with title to some patented
lands held by it within that domain
for such purpose.
Yesterday there was received at the
office Of the governor the following
letter from Representative Hayden on
the same subject:
House of Representatives
Washington, d. G.
Jan. ., 1922.
Hon. Thomas z. Campbell,
Governor of Arizona,
Phoeniy, Ariz.
By the courtesy of Hon. Stephen t.
Mather, director of the national park
service, I have been permitted to read
ad advance copy of the Saturday
Evening IOSl lOl Jan. II WHICH, NSi4
tains an article by Emerson Hough,
entitled 1.-THE Presidents Forest.
Reference to this article is made in
the editorial found on page % which
repeats the suggestion that congress
should change the name of the Kali
bab national forest to the Presidents
Forest" and forever prohibit both the
grazing of livestock and numbering
operations within its limits. After
YOU have read the article and the
editorial | shall be greatly obli"ed i
you will let me know what you think
of the proposed plan
Mr.. Mather is very anxious to have
me introduce bill which will accom-
plish the purposes above mentioned,
but told him that / would not do so
until after consultation with those In
Arizona who are competent to prop
erly advise me. I have never been
north of the Grand Canyon, and while
it may be true that the Kaibab pla-
teau should be considered as chiefly
valuable for it's scenery, yet its dedi-
cation to that exclusive use means
that the state of Arizona will be de-
prived of any revenue that might
arise from taxing livestock or the
improvements made by timber COM
panies. 1t is needless to say, that
shall greatly appreciate an express
sion of your views on this question.
With best wishes, am,
Yours very sincerely

DECIDE BONES ARE
NOT Of ]. ]. KNIGHT

The skull and charred bones found
on the desert IL miles north of Buck
eye in November, are not those of
]. j. Knight. wealthy Wichita Falls,
Texas, business man. missing since
July 8, 1921, a jury decided at the
inquest held by T. K. Mitten Of
Buckeye. The identity of the man,
the jury determined. was unknown
TO them and the cause of his death
was also mystery.
The main evidence considered by
the jury was an affidavit from a
dentist in Dallas, Texas, to whom a
chart of the teeth of the skull found
was sent. The dentist stated he
had performed dental work for
knight and that the teeth in the
skull did not conform to the teeth Of
the missing man. Other witnesses
testified to finding the bones and
digging them up.

"The great trouble with the poultry
business has always been that the
laying life of a hen was too short"
says Henry Trafford, international
Poultry Expert and Breeder, for near

The average pullet lays $50 eggs. If

more Then she goes to market. Yet,
it has been scientifically established
that every pullet is born or hatched
with over one thousand minute egg
germs in her system-and viii lay

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Hair Washin0

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alllali,
which is very injurious, as 1t
dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil shampoo, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap and beats
anything else all to pieces. You
can get Mulsified at any drug
store, and a few ounces viii last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea.
spoonful of Muisified is all that
is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich. creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle. Besides. Il
loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
Be sure your druggist gives you
Mulsified.
