In "The Man from Glengarry," in
stead of utilizing a canoe, man is
seen standing upright on swiftly
moving log. Maintaining balance on
a log is difficult at best, but in a tur-
bulent and madly rushing stream
with the only foothold slippery and
revolving log, it is doubly hard. The
log and its occupant quickly ap-
proaches the rapids. Swirling and
HURTING from side to side, it plunges
down into the treacherous vortex.
There is a moment of suspense and
the log and its rider emerge into the
calmer water below-the rider still
upright and gracefully poised.
This is but one of the spectacular
incidents in swiftly moving drama
which has for its locale, the lumber
camps in the Canadian woods. An
ancient feud between the rival lum-
Der camps supplies numerous other
Dramatic situations in which the
strength and skill of the participants
are taxed to the utmost.
Shooting the rapids in canoe or
going over Niagara Falls in a barrel
have heretofore held first rank as
feats of daring in connection with
water sports. However, for sheer
boldness, dexterity and skill the spec
tacular feat of one Of the expert lum-
berjacks in the picture version of
Ralph Connor's famous novel, sThe
Man from Glengarry," which comes to
the Caughren Theatre Sunday and
Monday, Nov. 24-25, is difficult to
surpasse.
Shooting the rapids in a canoe
which formerly was considered an
achievement of note, was accom-
pIished by sitting in the canoe and
guiding it through violent and tur-
bulent rapids without upsetting.
There was considerable danger in
volved inasmuch as water falling
down over a series of jagged rocks
and lodges must necessarily be swift
ly moving and treacherous. Hence
in case of spill the occupant was in
danger of beeing dashed to pieces on
the rocks.
Having played the role of Miriam
in "Outcast" on the stage several
years ago, Elsie Ferguson was thor
cughly familiar with the part when
called upon to play it in the Para
mount picture. made from the play,
which comes to the Caughren Thea
tire Tuesday, Nov. &c.
'It is just like old times" said
Miss Ferguson, after going through
several scenes for the picture. The
work in this picture seems more like
dream than anything else. All
/ have to do is shut my eyes and
imagine that am back on the stage

Time Soon to Begin Raising Good
Colts-That the time has arrived
when the farmer will find it profit
able to begin raising the colts which
will be needed soon to replace the old
horses on his farm, and that should
he raise a few more than he needs
of the good dependable draft type,
they will be readily salable at a
probable price by the time they reach
salable age, are outstanding con-
illusions drawn by w. H. Peters,
chief of the division of animal hus-
bandry, University of MINNESOTA, in
Special Bulletin No. 80, entitled,
ssThe Colt as Profitable Farm Pro-
duct" and issued by the agricultural
extension service. Mr.. Peters con-
tends it will not be long until the
purchasing power of value of horses
will start definitely upward. Old
horses are dying off much more rap
idly than. colts are coming on to take
their places, he says. In this new
bulletin of 20 pages Mr.. Peters not
only analyses present day problems
n horse raising, but discusses the
feeding and care of horses. Copies
of the bulletin can be had without
cost upon application to the Office
of Publications, University Farm, St.
Paul.
Growers Advised to Get Flax Seed
Now-Because the flax seed crop is
usually sold by growers soon after it
is Ihreshed, A. G.. Army of the firm
crops division at University Farm
advises farmers of Minnesota to lay
in their seed now for next years
planting. Figures gathered over a
series of years show that an average
Of 60. per cent of the fax seed
grown in this country is marketed on
or before November 80.
Farmers of Minnesota found flax
one of their profitable cash crops this
year and the acreage of the crop will
undoubtedly be increased in 1924"
says Mr.. Army. can ample supply of
seed of high yielding, wilt resistant
varieties was grown this year in Min
nesota to supply the needs for SOW

our farmers get their seed now be-
fore it has all ben sold for pressing
purposes. A good many growers

the kind to plant another year.

Many Farm Wells in State Mem
ace Health-Rural populations, ratn-
er than urban, suffer most from ry-
phoid fever. Repeatedly investiga-
ton has shown that typhoid was
caused by polluted wells or other wa
ter supplies on farms. A recent sur
vey completed by engineers of Ohio
State University showed that only
one of three farm wells in the terri
tory under examination contained
pure water. Forty-eight per cent
were infected by bacteria that cause
typhoid and 10 per cent had some con-
tamination. Nine thousand farm
wells under test in Illinois showed an
actual per centage of ID per cent OF
impure wells. Tests made in Mime
sofa, according to E. A. Stewart, an
engineer of the university's depart
ment of agriculture, demonstrated
that two out of every five farms Wis
tied, or 40 per cent had impure water
supplies.
whenever waste water or sur
there will be pollution" says Mr..
Stewart. "a second important source
of pollution is the practice of 'prim-
ing the pump with any water that
may be found handy for the purpose.
The important things to do, there
fore, are to keep out the surface
water and to use type of well pump
and cylinder that will not have to be
primed.. The cylinder should always
be placed below the water in the
we'll. The so-called set-length pump
is a menace to the purity of farm
water supply.
"There is close relation between
the type of well and the danger of
pollution. Wells of shallow depth
are more often affected than deep
lis. More shallow wells are poor
because they are shallow, but be-
cause they have been carelessly and
rot heaply constructed. However, the
dug well can be made COM
le paratvely free from pollution by put
ting in the proper curbing at the top
and encasing the well so that water
cannot pass through the sides.

TO SEE BIG BATTLE

By the Associated Press.
shelby, Mont. July 5.-The ap-
proximate total of gate receipts at
the Dempsey heavyweight
title bout yesterday was s201.4s5, &C
cording to figures made public by
Charles Rasmussen, Montana collector
of internal revenue. -
The department of internal revenue
will collect total of $22.44S.50 on
the receipts. Rasmussen announced.
Approximately 1900 tickets in the
S20-seat section were sold at hal1
price, he said, and on these tickets
the government tax of 10 per cent
was collected, even though the pro-
motors suffered a loss Of $40 on each
ticket thus sold.
The total number of tickets taken
in at the gate was 1902, Rasmusson's
figures showed. A total of 764 passes
was given out, bringing the recorded
attendance on the face of the collec-
tors figures to 1856.
Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager,
fell proximately $4,000 short of
getting the third 100000 of the
champions guarantee. He received
approximately $4,000 in receipts Tues
day and yesterday. He paid the fed
eral tax on $4,000 worth of tickets,
however. owing to. the fact that he
assumed a tax at the rate of 10 per
cent on tickets which he sold at half
price, just before the crowd surged
through the gates and into the arena.
The discrepancy between the num-
Der of paid admissions and the num-
Der that actually. witnessed the fight,
about 10000. was due to the fact that
thousands of persons crashed" the
gate In other words, they over
whelmed the gatekeepers and police
and swarmed into the arena.
The total loss on the fight to the
promoters and business men of Shelby.
Great Falls and other Montana towns
will be approximately $4,000, the
figures revealed.
