Still Farming With Oxen

After more than half-a century on
modern fam near Dixie, in Grumpy
county, Eli +. Grouse left recently for
Chile, to visit a son, Floyd who is
manager of "a $4,000 acre ranch.
The trip of 5000 miles will take 90
days, Mr.. Grouse planning 10 sail
from Santa Barbara, Calf. In Chile
the veteran Iowa farmer. will witness
a touch of primitive life, for in a
letter of recent date the son tells Of
125 head of oxen used to cultivate
the land and harvest the crops. The
horse is just beginning to have its
day in that country. The Iowa boy
in Chile has 400 acres in wheat, 60
in potatoes, forty in beans and the
largest nursery for fruit trees and
bushes to be found in that country.
The ranch occupies the full time. of
fifty men whom he pays forty cents
day, on an average. The native
also gets two acres of his own use.

who have ever attended U. !. L. from
any town any where on earth-or
rather Who so attended prior TO June

Old Mr.. and Mrs. Throst have
sold their farm for $500 and will
finance an effort to save their son
from the gallows. As the only pos
sible chance to keep Throst from
hanging for the murder of that girl
is thru executive clemency why spend
$500? The pleas Of the father and
mother will be more effective than
the paid lawyers with the present

The following speech was made
by an Irish barrister in behalf Of

by a train:
"If the train had been run as 1t
should have been run, or if the bell
had been rung as it should have been
rang, or if the whistle had been
blown as it should have been blew,
both of which they did neither, the

an astounding climax women de-
lighted in return to simpler forms.
Throughout the centuries the
Slavic people have used conspicuous
things on the head. These are not
ornaments. like those Of the Japanese,
but shape;y bonnets handed down
from one century to another. They
were often studded with Jewels. The
performances of the Moscow players
in New York during the winter en-
phasized such headdress. They did
not offer anything sufficiently grace
full and fragile for the American
public. but they brought womens at
tention to the faSt that the head can
be the foundation for fascinating
decoration. The great half-wheei
tiara of the Russian peasant is some
thing that the American can only
wear at fancy dress party. but the
open fan of the Spanish lady Is an
ornament she can wear at dinner
or dance. And she is doing 1T.
The sketch shows curious adap-
tation OF the Spanish fan that lends
itself happily 10 suggestions of Sc
Vile and of Luxor, where fans were
a necessary and decorative part OF
every women's equipment. First.

This sleek foundation Is not con-

Read of a Reel Reformer."

Fulton Ou-sler is the supervising
editor of seven magazines, one of
which is wholly and exclusively de-
voted to the interests of the fan. The
others occasionally give space and
thought to the same worthy cause.
Mr.. Oursler, both by nature and
profession. has ideas-energetic
definite ideas about all and sundry
things, including, with admirable
catholicity, the star. the director, the
scheme of things entire. He has one
idea in particular which ought to
appeal TO the hard working fan. He
is a sort of Hoover of the cinema
In other words he believes in cutting
down the high cost of movies.
This particular idea is that the
dear old "ten-cent show" ought TO
stage a come back. He didn't go so
far as to sponsor the revival Of the
eminent nickelodeon. whereby. for
five cents. one could have a full eve
nings menue OF Mary Pickford. Alice
Joyce. Douglas Fairbanks and Theda
Bara. but he did say that the screen
is the magnificent plaything Of the
people, and that 1t ought not to cost
the people two dollars and some very
odd cents TO see Mabel Normand
wearing one-piece ones. ct cetera. He
does believe that stars salaries. di-
rectors' salaries, million-dollar
"splurge" sets. and other inflated
overhead ought to be reduced to a
point of normalcy. so that the prices
OF admission might likewise be re-
duced. He does not believe that MIR. and
Mrs. Blank and all the little Blanks
ought to be able to spend their Sat
urday evenings watching their starry
vavorites for somewhat less than
the present day unpopular prices
And who among US doesn't agree
with him? l know that do.
After all. everything Is compare

salary of Dorothy Dalton or Gloria
