OPERA HOUSE
OFFERINGS

Wallace Reid's home in Beverley
Hills, near Hollywood, California, re-
sembled a prize fighters training
camp rather than a domicile for
motion picture star during the filming
of "The Worlds Champion" Wally's
latest Paramount vehicle showing at
the Opera House theatre tonight and
tomorrow.
In this picture, Mr.. Reid dons the
gloves and goes through several
rounds with a professional ex-champ,
and it was necessary that he be really
able to hold his own to make the
scenes realistic. The production is a
screen adaptation of the popular play
by Thomas Louden and A. E. Thomas
and was filmed under the direction
of Philip E. Rosen. Lois Wilson is
leading woman.
Maurice Flynn was one of footballs
most renowned heroes in the days
when he was fullback for Yale. Now
he is one of the screens most popular
stars. "Smiles Are Trump" his latest
William Fox picture, based on rail-
road story by Frank L. Packard, is
said to contain all the thrills of a
serial and all the dignity of a big
special production. 1t will be seen at
the Opera House on Friday.
1t is not out of reason to expect
that the mere announcement of the
title of Gloria Swanson's next Para
mount picture will excite not a little
curiosity. The title of this picture
is "Her Husbands Trademark, and
inasmuch as the star wears a sue
cession of really striking dress Gre
ations and appears all the time as her
most beautiful self, then maybe the
puzzle will be partially solved. The
story was written by Clara Beranger
and adapted by Lorna Moon, while
Sam Wood welded the megaphone.
The picture is coming to the Opera
House next Monday and Tuesday.

Local Civic Class
Acted As "Jury"
High School Students Disappointed
When There Is No Case
on Court Docket

Last week the members of the
Civic Glass, of the local High School,
went to Wilmington to see the actual
working of a court. The local stu
dents were greatly disappointed to
find upon their arrival that there
were no cases on the docket for that
day.
Some of the disappointment was
overcome when mock trial was
staged with members of the local
class acting as jury.
The "case" tried was between ga"
and "Z," the latter was the defend
ant" and the former the plaintiff.
Robert Adair acted as counsel for
"a" and George L. Townsend, Jr.,
represented "Z." Townsend is from
Newark.
After hearing the case the jury in
charge of Bailiff King, retired to the
jury room and in less than five min
utes a decision was reached. The
jury returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff" for $4,000. Arthur c..
Gamble, deputy prothonotary, drew
the jury.
There were nineteen members of
the class present under the guidance
of Miss Anna Gallaher, the teacher.
Following the trial, the students were
shown through the public Offices, po-
lice station and blind shop.

''It wasn't the money so much"

the desire to get away from all the

smothered in heavy atmosphere of

GARDENERS ACTIVE
Students of Rehabilitation Di
vision Growing Tomato
Plants

The students of the Rehabilitation
Division evidently recognize COM
mercial opportunity when they see it.
Realizing that the tomato growers of
this locality would need thousands of
plants in order to produce the tonnage
required by the United Canneries Cor
poration, the Rehab gardeners set
about growing 100000 plants. The
varieties desired by the Gamers are
greater Baltimore, Bonny Best, and
Delaware Beauty.
Thus far the venture has been most
encouraging, and promises to termin-
ate quite successfully for all concern
ed. Many of the local farmers have
visited the Pomona Gardens this week
inquiring when the plants would be
ready for the field. If favorable
weather prevails the first seedlings
will be pulled on May 26.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuture.)
Some work horses, although a little
cold shouldered, will pull when once
started. AS balkiness seems to be
largely a nervous trouble quietness and
kindness must be used at all times,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Before any persuasive
treatment is tried the bearing of the
harness should be examined to deter
mine If Ii is hurting the horse and
thus causing the balkiness. If moth
Ing Is wrong, place a rope or strap
around the knees of the horse and pull
straight to the frcnt, which will gen.
orally induce him to move step at a
time, and thus gradually resume his
work. Where 1t is repeated several
times this persuasive treatment is
usually sufficient to get the horse to
pull.
In case the horse is a confirmed
baker throws himself and refuses TO
get up, something out of the ordinary
must be done to attract the animals
attention. The horse should be hitched
with a good pulling animal and when
down should be held In that position
by having two men sit on his head
and neck. Then take bucket of wa
ter and pour very small stream on
the animals nose, occasionally allow
ing a little to fall into the upturned
nostril. The animal will struggle to
rise, but he should be held down for
about two minutes. with the water
trickling on the muzzle all the time.
The horse then should be permitted
to get on his feet, and If he goes down
second time the treatment should
be repeated. 1t is only rarely that a
balky horse of this character will
throw himself a third time where this
treatment Is followed.
If the animal still refuses to move
forward, however, a loop should be
dropped under the tail as a crupper,
extending forward through the halter
ring, and fastened to good pulling
horse. AS the word Is given. the
horse should be started, the wagon
being pulled by the mate Of the balky
horse and the balky horse being pulled
by the horse at the end of the rope.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Careful pOultrymen like to know
what it costs them to produce "a dozen
eggs, but 1t Is not possible for anyone
to tell them. With certain informa-
tion obtained through experimental
feeding to start with, they must figure
1t out for themselves. Since the feed
constitutes the principal cost, II Is
possible to get some idea Of the real
cost If the amount Of grain used IN
making a dozen eggs is known. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has kept records that show about
what amounts are used by general
purpose fowls and Leghorns, and by
using the local price for grain In con-
nection with these figures the feed
cost OF dozen eggs can be obtained
with fair accuracy.
The grain consumed to produce a
dozen eggs will vary great deal, de-
pending upon the skill Of the poultry
man, but It is assumed that he knows
how to feed economically. The gen.
eral-purpOse fowls and Leghorns used
In this feeding work were kept on the
test while pullets and yearlings. AS
pullets the general-purpose fowls pro-
duced 1908 eggs year and SS.1 as
yearlings. The LeghOrns produced an
average of 1887 eggs as pullets and
124.9 as yearlings.
The general-purpose pullets ate in a
year an average Of 81 pounds Of feed
per dozen eggs produced, and the year
lings ate 0.6 pounds. The Leghorn
pullets ate 4.S pounds and the year
lings So pounds. The general-purpose
pullets ate 10 pounds more feed In
producing a dozen eggs than the Leg
horn pullets. and the difference in
creases very rapidly with the age of
the stock, the general-purpose year
lings consuming Al pounds more feed
per dozen eggs than the LeghOrn year
lings; therefore the Leghorn yearlings
produced eggs upon much less feed
than the general-purpose breeds.
The value Of the general-purpose
breeds for market, or for Matching and
breeding, makes them usually the most
desirable breeds for the general
farmer and the backyard poultry rails
er, while the LeghOrns are especially
adapted for the commercial egg farms,

In Times of Cold Weather Prepare for
Summer - Harvesting Ice In a
Northern State.
Farm" farmers bulletin issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Making an Ice Pond.
Suppose farmer finds no suitable
lake or pond in his neighbOrhOOd. He
can create an artificial lake by divert
ing stream into an excavation. or by
building dam across low piece Of
ground. Some farmers have made
artificial lakes in their front yards, and
they have been pretty in summer as well
as useful In winter. One thing that
must not be forgotten is to keep these
lakes pure and clean. How to do that
is described in the bulletin.
But suppose a farmer has no place
for lake. although cold weather pre-
walls I'm his part of the country for
several weeks at time. He can freeze
his Ice in metal cans or special paper
bags.
1.-THE cans may be made in any con-
venient size by a local tinsmith," says
the bulletin, "and should be of galva-
nzed iron, reinforced at top and bot
tom with iron strips.
"The bottom is made smaller than
the top to make the removal of the ice
easier. The cans are placed near the
water supply, filed with water, and
left exposed to the weather. A shell
of ice soon freezes around the inner
surface, and when the shell is from
l 1.2 to 2 inches thick, hot water Is
poured over the outside Of the can and
the shell removed. A hole is broken
through at the top Of the shell and
most of the water inside Is then
poured out AS the freezing progresses
water is poured into the shell. little
at time, until solid block Of ice
is produced. BY this method only
few cans are required, which keeps the
cost low.
Advantage OF Bags.
"About the same method is en-
ployed when special paper bags are
used although they do not last so
long as the cans. The advantage OF
the bags over the metal cans is mainly
In cheapness, for they are not so con-
venient to handle.
"Another method that can be used In
very cold sections of the United States
is to run water into the ice house and
let layer freeze. This is done by
first constructing dam of snow
around the floor Of the house ten or
twelve inches from the walls In order
10 allow sawdust insulations next to
the walls. The Interior Of the house
Is then flooded with few inches Of
water, which soon freezes, the pro-
cedure being repeated until the house
is filled with ice. 1t is then covered
with sawdust and closed up until Ice
is needed. A great disadvantage Of
this method Is that In order to remove
Ice II must be cut or chopped out with
an AK. which results In uneven and ir-
regular pieces and considerable waste

Sheep VIII Do Well Where Leouminous

Are Available.

Grain feeding Of sheep during the
early winter months Is not absolutely
essential where leguminous rough
age and good corn silage or roots are
available; but the best results are OBJ
tained when small amount of grain
is fed regularly throughout the win
ter and increased just previous to
lambing. Two paris whole oats and
one part wheat Iran, by measure,
make good mixture. II some grain
is fed during the winter, less will be
required near lambing time. Old ewes,
