RIALT0-"A Virgin Paradise. "

An unusual story is revealed in
the spectacular drama, "a Virgin
Paradise" with Pearl White in the
leading role, which opened a week 8
engagement at Moore's Riaito Thea
ter yesterday. This picture is a Will
liam Fox production, with Impressive
natural setting forming back
ground for compelling story.
Written by Hiram Maxim, the play
tells the story Of young woman,
daughter Of a missionary in South
Sea Island, who is half savage, but
mostly woman, and her struggles
both in her native environment and
later when the scene transfers to
Long Island.
An attractive feature Of the pic
ture is the eruption of a volcano,
which in itself Is one Of the finest
things of its kind ever seen in mo-
ton pictures here. But this scene
forms but the background and nat
ural setting for the play itself, in
which Miss White depicts the savage
girl. heir to fortune.
Searchers go to the island and
rescue the girl, transferring her to
Long Island, where love is made to
her by one intent upon securing her
fortune. The picture from this juno
ture proves particularly interesting,
the acting Of the others in the film be-
ing we'll done.

PLANTERS RETURN
 TO HARVEST CROPS
Driven From Farms in Mississippi
 River Flood Last Spring

New Orleans, Oct 13-Planters who were driven from their farms and e2rly crops in the disastrous Mississippi river flood last spring. are attempting to harvest what is left of the smaller field crops and preparing the soil for the winter products. With the soil rich with deposits of the river and with the S5o.0o0 distribu- tion of seeds and plants by the Louis jana legislature, many planters are well on the road to recovery.
 The flood waters, which drove 4O.- 900 persons from their homes. spread over thirteen parishes and caused a loss estimated to exceed S10,00o,- GOO. The levee system. seriously damaged by the unprecedented high water now is being patched at a cost of several millions
 The floods greatest toll was a total destruction of thousands of acres of crops in the 4,660 square miles area inundated. Farm buildings. imple- ments, roads and bridges were de- stroyed or damaged. The Red Cross, state treasury and public contribu- tions maintained the homeless at refugee camps at a cost of S200, ,000 and returned them to their homes after the waters subsided.
 Contracts for repairing of 64o miles of levees in Louisiana, extending from Vicksburg, Miss, to the gulf, blown out in four places, all for completion of the work by Feb. 15, at a cost of s2,1S5,0o0 The Federal government made available S1,7So,o00 from a fund appropriated by congress before the flood to strengthen the then existing levees The quota allowed Louisiana was augmented s4O8,00O raised by local taxation. -

Japan Raises Greatest Harvest This
 Season of Year Past.

Tokio Oct, 13-All being we'll un- til the harvest, Japans rice crop for 1922 will be the best in her history, according to an estimate of the agri- cultural department. The crop last year was 63,220,0o0 koku Ca koku equals about five bushels) and this year is likely to be more than TO- GOO, ,000 koku. Due to anticipation of the record breaking good crops, the quotations at the rice exchange have fallen to the basis of less than 30 yen per koku.

BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
By Samuel Wes.,.

There never was such an urgen,
need for every foreigner to become an
American citizen as there is right
now, in viw of the fact that there is
legislation pending before Congress
which, when passed, will compel every
foreigner in the United States to reg
lister and to pay special tax: the
money is to be used for the education
Of the foreigners.
Needless to say that such a law Will
work hardship on foreigners. but
they car easily avoid it by becoming
American citizens.
There is no excuse why anyone eli
gible to become naturaliZed should not
do so mt once. The school board ras
established night schools in every sec
tion of the city inhabited by foreign
ers for the purpose of assisting and
preparing foreigners for American cit
izenship.
This is particularly, true regarding
West Colfax "Cheltenham'' school.
which is in session four nights week
from Z 80 to 9:30. with staff or
able. conscientious teachers who are
ready and willing to assist anyone In
naturalization work.
The school is supplied with the nee
essary blanks. All you have to do is
TO bring your first papers to school
and the teacher will do the rest.
If for any reason you cannot come
TO school during school hours. you
may call on me at my residt1ce. AGO
Federal boulevard. any time and I Will
lie glad to assist you free of charge.
