Effort

He brought me his report card from
! the teacher and he said
He wasn't very proud Of it and sadly
(, bowed his head.
He was excellent in reading, but
arithmetic, was fair,
And I noticed there were several "un-
satisfactory's" there;
But one little bit of credit which
was given brought me joy
He was excellent in effort" and ]
fairly Rugged the boy.
"Oh, it doesn't make much difference
what is written on your card"
I told that little fellow, eff you're
only trying hard.
The very goods and texcellent's are
fine, I must agree,
But the effort you are making means
whole lot more to me,
And the thing that's most important
when this card. is put aside
Is to know, in spite of failure, that to
do your best you've tried.
Just keep excellent in effort-all the
rest will come to you.
There isn't any problem but some day
you'll learn to do,
And at last, when you grow older,
you will come to understand
That by hard and patient toiling men
have risen to command,
And some day you will discover when
greater goals at stake
That better far than brilIiance is the
effort you will make"

MistIetoe Has Brains.

One of the most curious illustrations
Of the working of intelligence in plants
is offered by the mistletoe, whose
sticky berry, finding Judgment on a
tree branch, throws out tiny rootlet,
which tries to pierce the bark and
thus obtain foothold. If the bark is
too tough, the rootlet swings the berry
over to fresh spot, and makes an
other trial In this way such berry
has been known to make five jumps in
two nights and three days. On one
occasion a number of them were dis
covered by a botanist in the act Of
visibly journeying along telegraph
wire, trying to find places to grow

The Country Preacher

The country preacher deserves more
praise and consideration than he gets
from the people. There is no avoca-
ton or profession that is so grossly
underpaid, and no man is as subject
to as much carping criticism. The
people may find fault with his SER
mons and say that his logic is poor or
his delivery bad, but the country
preacher keeps right on saving souls
and cheering the sick, unmindful OF
the criticism of which he is the target
He is human being, the same as you;
he may err occasionally, but it is only
occasionally, while with the rest Of

NO MARKS OF VIOLENCE
ON GIRLS BODY FOUND DEAD

DANvILLE. H.. April 2S.-No
evidence of VIGILANCE was found on
this body of Miss Gertrude Hanna,
W rnty-five, former school teacher,
whose body was found late yester-
day in the ~unoccupied united Pres
byyerian parsonage at H~oopstown,
near here. This decision was reach
ed@by DR.. F. A. Baumgart. after an
autopsy. The state of preservation,
he said. indicated she had been dead
only a short time.
The coroner's physicians announc-
eli that Miss Hanna was approach
ing maternity. The body lying on a
concrete ledge inside a basement
window was found by carpenters,
working for days to prepare the par
sorage for a new minister to re-
place the Rev. j. T. Malloy, called to
Chicago last December.
Miss Hanna vas last seen alive
when she left the home OF her father
Wcstley Hanna. March "a.
Miss Hanna was graduated from
the Hoopstown high school in 1915
and taught school until four years
ago. She was described by a~cquaint-

was said she had but few intimate
fricrds.
The Hanna family home is not
two blocks from the parsonage
where her body was found.

For magnitude and vast expendi-
lures of money, UniversaIs master
piece. Foolish Wives" directed by
Erich Won Stroheim. is far in excess
of any previous photodrama ever
conceived.
This production actually cost more
than one million dollars and has
been over a year in the making
but contrary to many so-called mil
lior-dollar productions" the expen-
diture in both time and money in
Foolish Wives" will be apparent on
the screen, as may be seen here next
Monday when it is presented at the
Strand theatre.
A recent analysis of the cost OF
the production shows $500. 900 as the
construction cost of sets used. The
replica of Monte Carlo built a.
Moretery is estimated at $3.50 900;
the magnificent group of buildings
erected at Universal City TO show
Monte Carlo from the Landslide eost
$15e, 900 and an Italian villa with
its surrounding grounds cost SIS 600.
Fifteen interior sets of unusual
splendor cost s100,0 600.
More than $4,000 square feet OF
lumber was used in construction
work at an approximate cost of So
per thousand feet. In addition to
this. many new stages had to be
built to contain the huge settings.
The entire expense of the produc-
ton was almost equally divided re-
tween construction cost on the set
tiTgs and the expense of keeping the
vast army of players, assistant di"cC-
tors and extra people necessary Tor
the picture. There We're as many
as 1000 extra people used at one
time in the big crowd scenes, all OF
them drawing from $40 to $50 a day
while the salaries of the ~principa!
players and Won Stroheim's executive
assistants totalled thousands of dol
lars a week.
For use in the duplication of the
Cafe de Paris, a shipment of S12. 600
worth of glass was ordered. The
front of the cafe facing the gorge
Gus square is one maze of plate uldss
which gives the diners an unrestrict-
ed view of the magnificent plaza, the
Hotel de Paris directly across Il
square and the gambling casino 20
the right. At a cost of 500, 900 this
entire square was faithfully 'eprO-
duced.
So huge is this set that long shots
of 900 feet from two absolutely dill
ferent angles were possible. For six
weeks, 10 carpenters, 80 plasterers
ana 20 ornamental plasterers wcrS-
ed on this set.
The film is recognized in moving
picture circles as 1.-THE greatest
achievement of Carl Laemmle, CHEF
Of the Universal film company"

"A Daughter OF the Law an alb
